Daniel Bryan Talks Intimidating First Meeting With Vince McMahon, New WWE Trademark, Summer Rae

By Marc Middleton

- WWE's website has a new article up with several Superstars talking about the first time they met Vince McMahon, including John Cena, JBL, Mark Henry and The Big Show. Daniel Bryan talked about spending "big money" for a suit for his first meeting with Vince after receiving a great response for a dark match against Lance Cade in Oakland.

"I didn't even know how to sit in a suit," Bryan admitted. "He asked me things like, 'What would you like to see happen?' I told him that I'd like to come in and be a top guy, but I had concerns about not being very big. I have a very self-deprecating sense of humor and think of myself as a humble person, so it's hard for me to say that I'm good at something. Vince said, 'Shawn tells me you're very good.' And I just said, 'Well, I'm okay.' And I could tell instantly he disliked that. It was very awkward and very uncomfortable. Vince takes these very long pauses after he asks you a question and you answer him. He'll just look at you. Some will start talking, which I think he likes because it shows they're uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable, but I just looked at him. I was waiting for him to talk and he was waiting for me to talk. It was surreal. I was very nervous and even in in my $500 suit ? which I thought was the most expensive suit in the world ? I knew I was inadequately dressed. This guy has the power to control your destiny."
