Their birthdays are also only one day apart.
Benoit on Bryan in 2005:
"REALLY interesting Benoit/Bryan career parallels"
Quote:
And then I realized, Benoit & Bryan have really had similar paths.
Benoit main evented WM20 in a 3-way match - Bryan main evented WM30 in a 3-way match
Benoit made HHH tap out in that match - Bryan made Batista tap out in that match
Benoit defended the title vs. Kane - Bryan defended the title vs. Kane
Benoit put over younger guy who was a part of a hot stable - Bryan put over younger guy who was a part of a hot stable
WM21: Benoit in a multi-man ladder match - WM31: Bryan in a multi-man ladder match
But there is more!
The year before their triple threat world title matches, both were in a tag title matches at Wrestlemania 19 & 29.
Both debuted as the hard working, fan favourite, technical wrestler, and their first match was a lose to the world champion, in a match where everyone thought "****, would they really give him a win here?"
Both debuted in a mask with a mythical beast as their name....Pegasus/Dragon.
Both won tag team titles with their rivals, Kurt Angle & Kane.
Also IF Daniel Bryan wouldn't have got injured, he would've lost the title at SUMMERSLAM... Same PPV where Benoit lost the title.
They both had serious neck injuries.
Both married a women who they had been in a storyline with.

I love Bryan Danielson's style and he's very talented. I think he's doing the right thing by wrestling in a whole lot of the independents, which is very similar to what me, Eddie, Dean and William Regal did. I think the day's going to come when Bryan is a major star in the US.
