Bryan said he’s a wrestler and he’s tired of this “sports-entertainment bullsh—.” Bryan said Garcia was one of the people he suggested when they created the Blackpool Combat Club. He was impressed by Garcia once wrestling for 60 minutes and now he’s listening to Jericho’s BS. He told Garcia that if Bryan really was his hero, did he want to be the best technical sports entertainer or the best technical wrestler in the world and and he’ll leave that up to Garcia.
