Daniel Bryan said that Stone Cold called him to know how was my neck after surgery. He further said that during his absence from the ring due to neck surgery he had learned new wrestling style and adviced him to learn the same. Here what Daniel Bryan said:
“He just called me and he was interested in how my neck was because obviously he had neck issues, and he said, ‘You know, when you come back, you should try to work a different style.’ He said, ‘When I hurt my neck, I studied a bunch of Jerry Lawler and learned how to tell stories with just punches and kicks so it would take less toll on my body.’ He said, ‘You still work your a** off.’ And so that was really kind of him to call and say that to me.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
