American Dragon
[December 11th, 200
Before WWE fans were behind the “YES! Movement”, Daniel Bryan had a short run with the WWF when he was known as American Dragon. A graduate of the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy, Bryan’s first run with the company came in 2000 when he was signed to a developmental deal and reported to Memphis, Tennessee. It was there that he began training with William Regal and would compete regularly on Memphis Championship Wrestling. Bryan was released from his contract in 2001, and wouldn’t re-sign with the company for 9 years.
