DDP Discusses His Love of Daniel Bryan, Wanting a Feud With the Rock, More

DDP recently spoke with sportskeeda.com, discussing his love for Daniel Bryan, never getting to feud with the Rock, and more…

On his love for Daniel Bryan: “Oh, man. I love Daniel Bryan, and we had a very similar career where they (WWE) didn’t really believe in either one of us, and we both rose to a whole different level of stardom. He’s still going. I love watching him out there because he’s the underdog who works harder than anybody out there so I have a really fond spot in my heart for that kid.”

On having “People’s Champ” DDP vs. “People’s Champ” The Rock: “When it’s all said and done, I’d have loved to have done People’s Champion vs People’s Champion, mainly because The Rock is the biggest star in the world. He’s amazing. But I had a great run. I was very blessed, so I focus on that rather than what could have been – because you can’t change what could have been.”

On Drew McIntyre’s work ethic & A.J. Styles’ longevity: “Drew McIntyre drove seven hours from Tampa, Florida up to Atlanta, Georgia to work out with me. You’ve seen what’s happening with Jericho, he’s 47 and still going strong. AJ is 40 right now, it’s all about the preventative maintenance he does. He’s doing DDP Yoga five days a week and that’s the kind of thing that’s going to keep him in the ring. Who knows? He performs at such a high level, it’ll be interesting to watch. All I know is, right now, he looks the same as he did at 24 – except for he’s better.”
