From the Archives, DragonNigel Week Edition: Bryan Danielson vs... John Cena (?!?!?!)

If you think that the first time Bryan Danielson steps into a WWE ring under his new contract will be his debut for the company, think again. He had a cup of coffee... more like a shot of espresso with the WWE in 2003 against a young John Cena on Velocity. Remember that? When the 'E had a jobber show? Yes, this is a glorified squash match, but Danielson actually gets a lot more offense than your typical local talent would get. For a short match, this is a good one. Also, it's funny to hear some of the references and people involved. Hulk Hogan? The Rock? Brock Lesnar? A spiky-haired Josh Matthews calling a match with Ernest "The Cat" Miller? HOLY SHIT! A lot has changed in 6 years. A lot has changed indeed.
