His
"YES! YES! YES!" chant inspired
the Pittsburgh Pirates last April,
Michigan State basketball last January and, most triumphantly,
the World Series-champion San Francisco Giants last season.
On Sunday at Wrestlemania 31 in Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California -- not far from the Giants' home field -- Daniel Bryan took the Intercontinental Title, beating out defending champion Bad News Barrett, R-Truth, Dean Ambrose, Stardust, Luke Harper and Dolph Ziggler.
This is the second year in a row Bryan won a Wrestlemania title; the man behind the "YES!" movement won the Heavyweight Championship in 2014.
Congratulations fo the NEWWW Intercontinental Champion

March 30, 2015Daniel Bryan is your NEW IC champion. Quite an exchange of headbutts with Ziggler. 1st step in elevating the title back to prestige.
