Daniel Bryan - Argument between Daniel Bryan and The Miz on "Talking Smack" - 8/23/16 lyrics

The Miz: ...the fact that the Intercontinental Championship wasn't highlighted on Smackdown Live is a crime. That's what I think. Because the fact is, you sit there and you have the Women's Championship, the new Women's Championship, and the new Tag Team Championship. You build a whole platform for them, a whole set for them. You bring all the Superstars out, but what did you talk about with the Intercontinental Championship? A title that has rich history. Hall of Famers have held this title. Pat Patterson, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect. Daniel Bryan: Ok, ok. We had you on, like, two weeks ago, we don't need to hear this. The Miz: Yeah, and obviously you didn't hear my calling. (pointing to the IC TItle belt) This is last title you held, Daniel. Last one, the last title. You said you wanted to make it relevant, you wanted to make it prestigious and honorable. That is what you said. Daniel Bryan: Here's the deal, I have, I have respect for the title, I just don't respect for the person holding it. (gesturing toward The Miz) The Miz: Why? What did I do?! What is the thing that I did that was so wrong in the WWE that you- Daniel Bryan: You haven't done anything wrong! I just, I don't like the way you wrestle and that's, that's, and I think of the fans don't like the way you wrestle either. That's, I mean that- The Miz: The way I wrestle? The fact that I beat Apollo Crews at Summerslam, uh, fair and square, no cheating, no nothing, like you like! And I beat him 1-2-3 with a Skull Crushing Finale. That-that-that's a bad thing? That's bad wrestling? Daniel Bryan: Ok, what I am going to say is I was very proud of you and Apollo Crews, the way that you guys went out there at Summerslam and, and, to me, you guys had a good match. Uhhh, but I was more impressed with Apollo Crews than I was with you, to be quite honest. The Miz: He lost! Daniel Bryan: Yeah, he might've lost, but...I guess the kind of thing is, that you, to me...uh, there's no gentle way to say it, to me, you wrestle like a coward. You wrestle like someone who's afraid to get hit. The Miz: I-I-I-I wrestle, I wrestle... Daniel Bryan: You wrestle like a coward. The Miz: I'm the one? Daniel Bryan: If I were to create a wrestler who, to me, like, embodies...like, when I was an independent guy and I was thinking, like, "Oh, ok, what's the soft WWE style?", it would be that. WWE transformed in the last- The Miz: Hold on, hold on! You had your chance to talk. Yo-You're the one who called me a coward in the wrestling ring. I'm the coward in the wrestling ring. But, let's talk about cowards for one second. The reason I wrestle the way I wrestle is because I can do it day in and day out, all the time for 10+ years, I have never, NEVER, in my career, ever been injured. I don't get injured for 6 months to a year. I am here each and every week. But you sit there and call me a coward? I am-wait! Let me tell you about a coward! Let me tell you about a guy who tells his WWE fans, the people that he loves, that he will be back, he PROMISES them, "I promise you I will be back in one year's time to claim this title!". But you didn't, Daniel, did you? But I'm the coward, I'm the one- Daniel Bryan: If they, If they would let me come back, I would come back. The Miz: OH, if they, oh you would? You love that WWE ring, you love being in wrestling, you love being right in that wrestling ring and you love wrestling, right? Well, why don't you quit? Why don't you quit and go to the bingo halls with your indie back- Renee Young: You need to calm down, that's not what this show is about- The Miz: Let the GM have this, thank you very much, Renee, this is great show, but (back to Daniel) we're talking here. I need to talk to you, real quick! Because the fact is you're the one that calls ME the coward when YOU'RE the one that doesn't get in the WWE ring again. (Daniel gets up and walks off the set) The Miz: NO! Don't you walk away from me, Daniel! Don't you walk away! I'm the one that loves the fans! I'm the one that loves everyone and everything. You're the one that gets up and walks away every single time! You're the coward! I am not a coward! I am your Intercontinental Champion and there is a reason I have the title and a reason I'm making this the most relevant, prestigious title the WWE has and I deserve your respect on SmackDown Live! Get that camera right here, get that camera right here. Understand that this is day 141 of the never-ending "Intercontinental Championship World Tour" and swear to you, I promise you, it will be the most relevant title on SmackDown Live! I could care less about those little kids out for the Tag Team Titles and the Women's Championship and the WWE Championship. THIS is MY show! My show! And I'm sick of all of you, my GM, sitting there criticizing me calling ME the coward. You're the cowards! I'm the one here, day in and day out, in that wrestling ring beating people up, thank you very much!
