“Stone Cold” Steve Austin Discusses Daniel Bryan’s Issues With Triple H

WWE.com has run an article where it looks back at “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s issues with authority over the years and compares it to Daniel Bryan’s current problems with WWE COO Triple H.

Austin says that Triple H’s run-ins with Bryan are a result of his influence.

“I know what  [Triple H’s] mentality is, and he’s been hanging around Vince for so long,” Austin told WWE.com. “Right now, he’s playing the ultimate game with young Daniel Bryan … I look for similarities in situations and setups, but also for [Daniel Bryan] to push the envelope and come out of the box strong.”

Despite teases of interference by The Big Show, The Miz or Dolph Ziggler, Austin also told the website that it is up to Bryan to conquer the adversary himself.

“I think it’s out of the locker room’s hands,” Austin said. “To me, it ain’t about the locker room rallying behind him or offering help. This is one guy against Triple H and the regime. This is Daniel Bryan’s moment to shine and so I think that he needs to focus on that. The locker room needs to let him focus on that so he can prove himself to that locker room.”

Moreover, the Rattlesnake offered some other words of wisdom to the former WWE Champion.

“If I could offer any advice to Daniel Bryan, I would tell him to be aggressive. Trust your gut instincts. The best defense is a good offense, and always be on the attack,” said Austin. “But, sometimes, lay in wait. I think Triple H’s ego may mirror Vince’s ego. Sometimes, as cerebral as he is, his ego may get the best of him and you’ll be able to spring an attack on him.”
