Styles and Vince (McMahon), and I said in the promo that Vince\u2019s generation is the real problem of everything and they bowed down to him. I was surprised they let me say any of that because these concepts were my ideas, but then we still had to pitch it. There\u2019s still a format and a script. [But] He was like, &#8216;Yeah, okay.&#8217; I was like really, &#8216;I can say all this!?&#8217;\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had so much fun, that was so much fun. Because, you know, we all have different aspects of our personality, right? There is very much a part of me that is like The Planet\u2019s Champion. Except instead of putting that scorn on other people, I don\u2019t look at people and be like you should be doing this, or you should be doing this. I look at myself and think I should be doing this, I should be doing that, I shouldn\u2019t be consuming as much. So it\u2019s like yeah, all that stuff that was twisted on the American fans was actually my own self-loathing [laughs].\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also spoke about fist-bumping The Street Profits and a cheeky line he managed to get on TV related to it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cThere\u2019s a couple of things actually that I\u2019m really proud of that I even got through the many layers of things that you have to get through in WWE. One of the things, I did commentary on a Saturday Morning Slam, and it was Claudio (Cesaro) wrestling R-Truth. I just talked about bears the whole time, and then Claudio knew. I told Claudio about it and so they did the bear hug and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, that was a blast.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>In the pandemic, I got \u2018Fist me boys!\u2019 on TV. It was a live shot and it was with The Street Profits and I think Kevin Owens. We just did something. We\u2019re all good guys, and in my head I\u2019m thinking I\u2019m the old, uncool guy. The Street Profits, both of them are legitimately super cool dudes, so much fun to be around, right? I come to the back, we\u2019ve got this live shot, and we\u2019re just excited about winning. Then at the end of it I just go \u2018Okay, fist me boys!&#8217;\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>ACCESS THE FULL INTERVIEW <a href=\"https:\/\/itrwrestling.com\/news\/exclusive-bryan-danielson-details-inspiration-behind-planets-champion-run-in-wwe-was-really-surprised-one-promo-was-allowed\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/08\/28\/vip-audio-8-28-pwt-impact-pod-lilly-laslo-discuss-the-hardys-taking-on-the-system-a-well-timed-rosemary-update-preview-of-emergence-tna-special-more-42-min\/\">VIP AUDIO 8\/28 \u2013 PWT Impact Pod: Lilly &amp;
