"Actually, I'm working with the WWE and its merchandise team. In that whole run, while they did make a Daniel Bryan 'Planet's Champion' T-shirt, I never wore one to the ring. One of the things I've always felt very guilty about is the amount of stuff that I've specifically sold to people, and I've never done it with the intention of, 'Oh, I want to sell all these things.' It's just part of what you do. It's like, OK, you wear your shirt to the ring, so that people see your shirt and buy it. Well, this was a good opportunity for me to be like, 'Oh, no, I shouldn't wear a shirt to the ring, because I'm the planet's champion.' And that's one of the things that I can criticize other people for — they're just out there for other people's money."
"Now that I'm a good guy again, they're like, 'Well, we'd really like you to wear a shirt, and let's get back to making T-shirts for you again.' I was like, 'Well, I don't really want to do that.' And so now I'm working with them about that, and the next Daniel Bryan shirts are going to be made out of recycled materials. And I think five plastic water bottles will be used for every shirt. So they'll be made out of plastic water bottles and recycled materials and that, to me, is cool, and that's something that's a good-guy thing that's also kind of environmentally friendly."
"I'm also trying to get it — and this is where we're coming into a little bit of a holdup here — where for every shirt that somebody buys, I would like for a tree to be planted. They're balking a little bit on that. I don't need to make any money on these T-shirts. If I'm going to sell anybody anything, or if somebody wants to buy something because it's a Daniel Bryan something, I want it to not only not do harm, but I would like it to do something positive. So, with that kind of attitude, you could see where that would be a thing that people like. I'm not doing it so people will like me. I'm doing it because my guilty conscious of having sold X number of shirts yesterday that were made out of inorganic material — which is horrible for the planet — make me think, 'No, I'm so bad for the planet.' But that sort of thing is something you can see people getting behind."
