One more: how did Daniel Bryan’s Yes! chant get started? Did it just happen of was there a storyline or what?

1. I sort of know the story but not fully, so SUB for someone who does know!

2. I had to look it up but he started doing it when he won the Heavyweight Championship in 2011 and it just caught on. It was ironic at first because he was still a “nerd” character so he would over-celebrate minor victories, and when he turned face it became more sincere.

   (This video claims this is where he started it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZevSrKZ4ECo )

3. Yeah I guess there was some MMA fighter he saw doing it during a fight? Like he walked down to the ring saying (quietly) “Yes, yes, yes” and Daniel Bryan appropriated it and made it fit his character.

4. It’s criminal how little people talk about the Daniel Bryan/Mark Henry feud for the Heavyweight Title, btw. It was so good.

5. WWE 2k15 features a Mark Henry focused DLC dubbed “Hall of Pain”

6. I know that for a long time, he was doing NO NO NO, like when he was teamed up with Kane in an “odd couple” tag team, but I’m not sure if it started with NO NO NO and then transitioned to YES YES YES later, or if the YES YES YES came first, and NO NO NO was a play on that.

7. It was YES YES YES, then he turned bad guy and started shouting NO at the audience when they shouted YES.

8. Just don’t get Daniel Bryan started about bears…

9. I miss Team Hell No.

10. I just went down this rabbithole for a bit and goddam Team Hell No was so good.
