I threw your keys in the water, I looked back,
Theyd frozen halfway down in the ice.
They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners,
Even after the anger, it all turned silent, and
The everyday turned solitary,
So we came to February.
First we forgot where wed planted those bulbs last year,
Then we forgot that wed planted at all,
Then we forgot what plants are altogether,
and I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and
The nights were long and cold and scary,
Can we live through February?
You know I think Christmas was a long red glare,
Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards,
And then the snow,
And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling,
And wed drop to sleep exhausted,
Then wed wake up, and its snowing.
And February was so long that it lasted into March
And found us walking a path alone together.
You stopped and pointed and you said, "Thats a crocus,"
And I said, "Whats a crocus?" and you said, "Its a flower,"
I tried to remember, but I said, "Whats a flower?"
You said, "I still love you."
The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store,
My new lover made me keys to the house,
And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood,
Because you never know how next year will be,
And well gather all our arms can carry,
Sister's gone, a crown of red,
you said, I missed, a mistake...
In the dark, I thought her you, and shot, the room was tilting
I hear your voice
calling me from a calendar
anniversary
I hear your voice
calling me from a calendar
anniversary
wake up empty head, ringing bells, you said, you heard
her voice here
an eastern wind
on branches bare
no moon, no stars, no passing time
and all you ever wanted was my embrace
so why do you stay inside your hiding place
I hear your voice
calling me from a calendar
anniversary
I hear your voice
calling me from a calendar
anniversary
It's February,
You're two years gone,
and I am lost, I am lost
It's February,
I can feel you're here,
and Here I come, Here I come
You cannot hide yourself
I'm everywhere
You cannot hide yourself
I'm everywhere
You cannot hide yourself
You cannot hide yourself
February 8th, 1878
South of Trout Creek, west of Cedar Lake
On a winding mountain trail of the North Pacific Union
Rail
The snow arrived on time, the circus train was running
late
Rip spot’s past and all the knuckles worn,
Firebox bursting to the running boards
A pounding in his chest, crushing like a cider press
The hogger rode the throttle ‘round the bender like a
flank-strapped horse
[ELEPHANT (addressing the frightened animal car):]
"Let’s return now to the dust as the dust we are;
tonight, our bridal fate, the hour’s come to
consummate!"
And drove her massive body like a truck into the iron
bars
Limestone thrown from out the hopper’s back
Ash Cat tossed against the diamond stack
from cradle to caboose, the frozen bolts broke loose,
sent that cage spinning like a dreidel off the icy
tracks
Run on, Rabbit, run!
Before the East sky wakes the sun!
Sails set to the dreadful cold,
Until your anchor-heart takes hold
Run on, Fox & Bear,
From this dismal dream’s despair!
Cast thoughts to in the open ocean of air
Until your thread catch somewhere
[ANIMALS:] "Mother, please come along!"
[ELEPHANT (from inside her cage):]
"My tusks are dull, my eyes, half-blind,
too old to run, too big to hide,
and have neither friend nor enemy,
nor that phantom, ‘self’-identity
nor concern for what ‘they’ll’ do to ‘me’
now, my children, run free!"
But Tiger, why sit still,
As the officers climb the hill?
What stars cast down their spears,
cooled your fire with their tears?
[TIGER:] "Gone that siren’s sound,
it’s a silence now pours down
Gone, my next of kin,
and all once without now lives within"
[FOX & RABBIT:] "Topiary Tiger, once burned bright
save your tales of gnostic sight
and take heed on this (most) auspicious night!
the floor is empty where we used to lie i remember every moments im with you the season is changing the summer is here i wish to be with you i want you here here i am expecting for the best and there you are a hundred miles away there's nothing to do im so in-to you the TV. don't mean anything now you're the one you're every thing i need i miss the cold February's gone when can i see you again? i don't want to spend the summer al
Febrero 14 luna en el jardín
hoy sueltan sus besos los amantes
yo guardo los míos tú no estás aquí
te extraño, no soy la mismo de antes
En vez de habitar el paraíso
recuerdos es todo lo que tengo
quien sabe si aún dura el hechizo
quien sabe si tú me estás pensando
Enamorado de tus besos
enamorado de ti hasta los huesos
desesperado porque estás lejos
como las olas
como las olas
vienes y después te vas
Febrero 14 llueve soledad
con pena me miran las estrellas
yo sigo soñando que regresarás
sentado en las faldas de una de ellas
Enamorado de tus besos
enamorado de ti hasta los huesos
desesperado porque estás lejos
como las olas
como las olas
vienes y después te vas
Febrero 14, tú, San Valentín
ayúdame y dile que la quiero
encuentra una forma de traerla aquí
no ves que de amor yo ya me muero
Enamorado de tus besos
enamorado de ti hasta los huesos
desesperado porque estás lejos
como las olas
como las olas
vienes y después
Como las olas
vienes y después
te vas.
Febrero catorce, luna en el jardín
hoy sueltan sus besos los amantes.
yo guardo los míos, tú no estás aquí
te extraño, no soy el mismo de antes
En vez de habitar el paraíso
recuerdos es todo lo que tengo
quién sabe si aún dura el hechizo
Quién sabe si tú me estás pensando
CORO:
Enamorado... de tus besos
enamorado de ti hasta los huesos
desesperado... porque estás lejos
como las olas, como las olas,
vienes y después... te vas.
ESTROFA
Febrero catorce llueve soledad
con pena me miran las estrellas
yo sigo soñando que regresarás
sentada en las faldas de una de ellas
CORO.
Enamorado... de tus besos
enamorado de ti hasta los huesos
desesperado... porque estás lejos
como las olas, como las olas,
vienes y después... te vas.
ESTROFA
Febrero catorce, tú, San Valentín

It is febuary 1998,
with too many mindless bodies,
walking the face of the planet,
and too many mindfull bodies,
without enough motivation,
to do anything constructive with their lives,
i despise these people,
in a way i can not verbally express,
my hatred for humanity
has reached an all time high,
i believe i am a higher power
and a greater being,
than our all too common society,
Lately i have asked myself
should i concede defeat
and conform to our commercialist society,
surely it would make my life
on this world easier to bear,
but when i get near my lowest moments,
i remember...
Why, i hate the world,
and everything, that is inside,
i remember why, that i despise
In my Country their in the distance (Everytime I leave it's not the time to try)
Did you think before you got it (I'm leaving for all reasons)
Everytime you breathe I hope you think of me
Those are the words you told me, told me
No questions why'd I'd have to leave (I guess it's time to leave)
One reason I restored with sleep (I'll think of what I'll be)
This moment feels like destiny (I won't dare to eat)
Won't you tell me, tell me?
You want me to always remember
You promised I always will
You'll watch and wait for my return
You promised I'm coming home
For all the loney nights when your not feeling alone
You'll taunt the midnight sky and wish the sunrise
This the life we live, the only one that we know, these things just never ends, never ends
You want me to always remember
You promised I always will
You'll watch and wait for my return
You promised I'm coming home
It's not the time to leave, it's not the last goodbye (don't know I can't resist this)
Did you think before you've all forgot it? (I'm destined to always come home)
Everytime you breathe I hope you think of me
Those are the words you told me, told me
So when will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
Sometimes I don't know
Where I am
Where I'll be
Feels like I'm so far
Far away
Far away
and the snow
falls down
melts before it even
hits the ground
and i'm standing here
listening to the sound
of your hand washing
back and forth
across my filthy heart
and i don't know
if i should say "i'm sorry" or
"thank you" i try to speak
but the tears choke the words
and i think i finally know
what they mean
92 I lost you, I got the call in February
He tried and tried to pull you out from the
wreck but it was too late
You know I need to get alone, get out of here
For my mind to find the space
Where memories of you can take shape
I think it's time to slip away
I bought you flowers too on that cold
Valentines Day
We buried you next to your son in the year
You looked so young
You know I need to get alone. GET OUT OF HERE
For my mind to find the space
Where memories of you can take shape
I think it's time to slip away
Remembering is honoring
Brother I want to laught it up
When I picture us running in the sunlight
Mother I want to hear you sing and
[Son:]
Strange, that we meet again
I recognize your face
You brought me my father's book
The memory from the old days
I want to understand
What he wrote to me
Sit in this chair, and drink some wine
It will help you to speak
Oh, trust in me
Oh, speak to me
That was the day in 1773.
That was the day the 17. of February
[The old friend:]
I try to recall the past
When he came to this town
I've never seen him before
But I felt that he was so down
It was so sad to see
As he stood there alone
I don't know why he chose me
And I won't know nevermore
Oh, nevermore
Oh, nevermore
That was the day in 1773.
That was the day the 17. of February
He gave those things to me
And when I asked him „Why?"
He said: „I've got a son
I had to leave him behind
Should I not come back
In the next few days
I want you to give these to him
On his 21st birthday"
Give me your word
Siempre lo s?, yo siempre supe todo
Me anticipo al diario de ayer
Nadie la ve, nadie la mira como
Desde adentro yo la mir?
Cuando digo que voy a volver
Me r?o primero (me r?o primero)
Todos se van y esto reci?n empieza
Sin testigos, mucho mejor
Un golpe m?s, un golpe necesario
No hay noticias en el balc?n
Cuando digo que voy a volver
Me r?o primero
Y si digo que voy a volver
Me r?o primero
En el bar un vaso me habla de vos
Cada vez que se termina
Y en el bar tu mesa ya se durmi?
Con las sillas arriba
Siempre es igual, tengo que soportar las
Veintiocho de ese pu?al
Nadie qued?, esta ciudad se alquila
Con lo poco que el viento dej?
Y en el bar un vaso hablaba de vos
La sirena desafina
With sadness, I invoke, come forward, and speak to me. In trance, we supplicate, partake in the discovery. The journey is forever, a trail of tears. With sadness, I invoke, come forward, and speak to me. In trance we supplicate, partake in the discovery. Trail of tears, no gods I fear. Trapped souls sing to me. Central axis of creation, a force we no longer feel, lost in our deliberation, what is I is not real. With pain my in my hands I cry, deliverance a joke I sigh. In the movement of a twisted invasion, a connection will appear, spiritual enslavement, gods voice is clear; and it takes our breath away to give up our will is too much to say. I will not feel, I will not give my soul away. I see you never cared. I see you never felt the way I fell. You will never see.
But it's so hard when you don't know your name searching for answers to find.
Still it's so hard when you don't know your name searching for answers to find.
verse:
As i wait here for you to come back home to me.
Never again do i hear all these thoughts of wasting my life here i am.
Trying so hard everyday we change still we drift apart.
I touch my hands to your face so pure i'm tasting the tears again
why can't i just let go leave it all far behind?

Cody Runnels[1][3] (born June 30, 1985)[3] is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Cody Rhodes. Runnels is signed to WWE where he wrestles on its SmackDown brand.
Runnels is the half-brother of Goldust as well as the son of Dusty Rhodes, and worked as a referee in his father's promotion during high school. Runnels started wrestling professionally in 2006, using his real name, wrestling for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). While situated at OVW, he won various championships, both in tag team and singles competition, including the OVW Heavyweight Championship. He made his WWE television debut on July 16, 2007, under the ring name Cody Rhodes. In December 2007, Rhodes captured his first title with the company, the World Tag Team Championship with Hardcore Holly, and the two held it for six months.
Rhodes formed a secret alliance with Ted DiBiase during 2008. In the course of a match held on June 29 he turned on Holly by switching sides to join DiBiase, with whom he became World Tag Team champion. The new champions dropped their titles in August, only to win them back a week later. Rhodes and DiBiase were joined by Manu shortly afterwards, forming a faction of multi-generation wrestlers, although this alliance was to be short-lived. In January 2009, Rhodes and DiBiase formed a new alliance, The Legacy, with Randy Orton. Rhodes was moved to the SmackDown brand in April 2010, as part of the Supplemental Draft, and won the WWE Tag Team Championship with Drew McIntyre in September of the same year. In August 2011, Rhodes won the WWE Intercontinental Championship, his first singles championship in WWE, holding it for over seven months until he lost it at WrestleMania 28. He won the title back one month later at Extreme Rules (2012).

Amateur wrestling career[link]
Runnels had a successful high school wrestling career, attending Lassiter High School in Marietta, Georgia.[3] He placed sixth in the 171 lb (78 kg) division as a sophomore.[4] As a junior, Runnels won the Georgia state tournament at 189 lb (86 kg) in 2003, and successfully defended the title in his senior year.[4] Runnels had planned to wrestle collegiately at Pennsylvania State University, but decided to become a professional wrestler instead.[5] During his time in high school, Runnels also acted as a referee in his father's Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling promotion.[6] After graduating from high school, Runnels attended an acting school.[7]
Professional wrestling career[link]
Ohio Valley Wrestling (2006–2007)[link]
Using his real name, Runnels began wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in June 2006.[3] Runnels formed a tag team with Shawn Spears in mid-August 2006 and they quickly became embroiled in a feud with The Untouchables over the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.[8][9] They first captured the championship from The Untouchables on October 18.[3] In November 2006, Runnels and Spears defeated The Untouchables in a tag team match, and won the services of Cherry, The Untouchables' manager.[10] Cherry accompanied Spears and Runnels to ringside, and soon Spears began to fall in love with her, which began interfering with their matches.[11][12] On November 29, the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship was vacated after a match between The Untouchables and Runnels and Spears ended in a draw.[13] The following week, a rematch between the two teams was held for the vacant championship.[13] During this match Cherry turned on Spears and Runnels, rejoining The Untouchables and helping them regain the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.[13][14] Two weeks later, on December 20, Runnels and Spears defeated Deuce 'n Domino in a Street Fight to win the championship for the second time.[15] Shortly afterwards, Runnels and Spears became involved in a scripted rivalry with each other, after Spears became jealous of Runnels' success as a singles wrestler.[3] This rift started when Runnels won the OVW Heavyweight Championship from Paul Burchill at a house show on February 17, 2007, only to lose it back to Burchill the next day.[3][16] Spears went on to win the OVW Television Championship in response.[3] On April 11, the duo lost the Southern Tag Team Championship to the team of Justin LaRouche and Charles Evans.[3] Runnels went on to defeat his now heated rival on July 6, to become the new OVW Television Champion.[3][17] Exactly one week later, however, Runnels lost the championship back to Spears.[18]
World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE[link]
Debut and teaming with Hardcore Holly (2007–2008)[link]
On the July 2 episode of Raw, Runnels made his television debut, using the ring name Cody Rhodes, in a backstage segment with his father Dusty Rhodes and Randy Orton, where Orton introduced himself to Rhodes and then slapped Dusty as a sign of disrespect.[19] On July 9, Rhodes slapped Orton in return, and the following week, Rhodes faced Orton in his debut WWE match, but lost.[20][21] Rhodes appeared at The Great American Bash to prevent Orton from further attacking his father.[22] The next night on Raw, Rhodes challenged Orton to a rematch from the previous week, only to lose again. Orton followed this up by kicking Rhodes' father in the head, similar to how he had, in storyline, nearly ended the careers of Shawn Michaels and Rob Van Dam.[23]
Rhodes' next storyline was a rivalry with Daivari, after he pinned him on the July 30 episode of Raw, to keep his job.[24] In the midst of this rivalry, he also feuded with The World's Greatest Tag Team, defeating both members, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin in singles matches.[25][26] The two feuds combined, when Rhodes, along with Paul London and Brian Kendrick, beat The World's Greatest Tag Team and Daivari in a six-man tag team match.[27] The following week, Rhodes teamed up with Mickie James to defeat Daivari and Jillian Hall, ending their scripted rivalry.[28]
Three weeks later, he began a feud with Hardcore Holly and lost three consecutive matches to him.[29][30][31] Rhodes eventually earned Holly's respect, impressing Holly during their matches with his persistence and several near-falls, and the two formed a tag team.[32][33] They earned a shot at the World Tag Team titles by defeating Paul London and Brian Kendrick and The Highlanders in a WWE.com exclusive match after an Alabama Slam.[34] They fought against the Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch at Survivor Series, in what was Rhodes' first on-screen title shot and pay-per-view match, but were unsuccessful.[35] On the November 19, 2007 episode of Raw, Rhodes faced Holly for a fourth time, and beat him for the first time, although they were both attacked by Randy Orton afterwards.[36]
On December 10, 2007, on the Raw 15th Anniversary special episode, Rhodes along with Hardcore Holly defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch for the World Tag Team Championship, marking Rhodes' first championship in WWE.[37][38] The following week, Rhodes and Holly retained their title, in their first title defense, against Cade and Murdoch.[39] They also successfully defended the championships against the teams of Santino Marella and Carlito and Paul London and Brian Kendrick.[40][41] In May 2008, Ted DiBiase began feuding with the duo, threatening to take their titles in his first match as part of the Raw brand.[42]
The Legacy (2008–2010)[link]
Main article: The Legacy
At the pay-per-view event, Night of Champions on June 29, Rhodes turned on Holly by revealing himself as Ted DiBiase's partner to help DiBiase win the match, becoming a villain.[43][44] After holding the championship for just over a month, they dropped it to John Cena and Batista on the August 4 episode of Raw.[45] The following week, DiBiase and Rhodes used their rematch clause to regain the championship.[46][47] Rhodes and DiBiase were joined by Manu, the son of Afa Anoa'i, in September, forming a stable of multi-generational superstars.[48] On the October 27, 2008 episode of Raw, Rhodes and DiBiase lost the World Tag Team Championship to Kofi Kingston and CM Punk.[49]
During this time, Rhodes, DiBiase and Manu entered a storyline with Randy Orton where Orton constantly criticized and insulted them, and attacked DiBiase on the November 3 episode of Raw.[50] At Survivor Series, Rhodes, along with Orton, was a sole survivor, for Orton's team, in the annual Elimination match.[51] Rhodes and Manu accepted Orton's offer for an alliance in the following weeks, and the trio dubbed themselves "The Legacy"; debuting in a two-on-three handicap match against Batista and Triple H.[52][53] Orton began scheduling tests for The Legacy members, so they could prove themselves, and over two weeks, both Manu and Sim Snuka were kicked out.[54][55]
On January 12, Snuka and Manu gave Rhodes the chance to align with them to attack Orton, along with the returning Ted DiBiase, but Rhodes refused.[56] As they ambushed Orton, DiBiase instead joined with Orton and Rhodes to attack Snuka and Manu, and became a member of The Legacy.[56] As part of The Legacy, Rhodes entered the Royal Rumble match in order to help Orton win, and lasted until the final three, before being eliminated by Triple H.[57] Rhodes and DiBiase became involved in Orton's scripted rivalry with the McMahon family, helping him to attack Shane and Stephanie McMahon, and Stephanie's real-life husband, Triple H.[58][59] Rhodes was also elevated to main event status as a result of joining The Legacy, competing in handicap and six-man tag team matches against Orton's opponents and rivals.[60][61] On April 26, at Backlash, Rhodes, DiBiase, and Orton defeated Triple H, Batista, and Shane McMahon in a six-man tag team match, which, per the pre-match stipulation, resulted in Orton winning the WWE Championship.[62] Rhodes suffered a minor neck injury in June, but did not need any time off to recover.[63] Throughout mid-2009, Rhodes and DiBiase continued to compete against and attack Orton's rivals, especially Triple H.[64] This led to Triple H reforming D-Generation X (DX) with Shawn Michaels, and DX defeated Rhodes and DiBiase at SummerSlam.[65] Rhodes and DiBiase defeated DX at the following pay-per-view, Breaking Point in a submissions count anywhere match, but were defeated in a Hell in a Cell match at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in October, when Rhodes was pinned following a sledgehammer shot to the head.[66][67] To sell the injury, Rhodes was taken out of the arena on a stretcher following the match.[68]
Tension within The Legacy became apparent at the 2010 Royal Rumble, when Rhodes attempted to interfere in Orton's match for the WWE Championship. Rhodes was caught by the referee, resulting in a disqualification for Orton, who attacked Rhodes and DiBiase, who had tried to help Rhodes, after the match.[69] On the February 15 episode of Raw, Orton took on Sheamus in a non-title rematch, but was again disqualified after Rhodes and DiBiase interfered.[70] During the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Rhodes interfered, passing a lead pipe through the cage to DiBiase. DiBiase hit Orton with the pipe and eliminated him from the match.[71] The next night on Raw, Orton attacked Rhodes and DiBiase during a six-man tag team match, and they attacked Orton the following week in retaliation.[72][73] This led to a triple threat match at WrestleMania XXVI, in which Orton defeated Rhodes and DiBiase.[74]
"Dashing" Cody Rhodes (2010–2011)[link]
As part of the 2010 WWE Supplemental Draft, Rhodes was drafted to the SmackDown brand.[75] He made his debut for the brand on the April 30 episode of SmackDown, by defeating John Morrison.[76] The following week on SmackDown, Rhodes participated in a tournament for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship, but lost to Christian in the semi-finals.[77] On June 1, it was announced that Rhodes would be mentoring Husky Harris, a third generation wrestler, in the second season of WWE NXT.[78][79]
On the June 25 episode of SmackDown, Rhodes began a new narcissistic gimmick, claiming to be the best-looking wrestler in WWE and demanding to be called "Dashing" Cody Rhodes.[80] As part of the gimmick, vignettes began airing in which Rhodes gave 'grooming tips'.[81][82] As part of the gimmick, Rhodes was extremely protective of his face during matches; if he was hit in the face, he threw a fit and checked his mirror.[83][84] In September, he attacked Christian along with Drew McIntyre after a match, and the duo also attacked Matt Hardy, forming an alliance. At Night of Champions in September, Rhodes and McIntyre captured the WWE Tag Team Championship in a Tag Team Turmoil match, also including The Hart Dynasty, The Usos, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, and Evan Bourne and Mark Henry.[85] At Bragging Rights, Rhodes and McIntyre lost the championship to The Nexus (John Cena and David Otunga).[86] On the October 29 episode of SmackDown, after losing a tag team match, Rhodes and McIntyre dissolved their partnership.[87]
In January 2011, Rhodes faced Rey Mysterio in a match, during which Mysterio hit Rhodes in the face with his exposed knee brace and legitimately broke Rhodes' nose.[88][89] This prompted a storyline between the two, with Rhodes declaring he was no longer dashing and required facial reconstructive surgery.[90] As part of the storyline with Mysterio, Rhodes was off television for several weeks, missing both the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber pay-per-view events. Upon his return, he wore a clear protective mask over his face, and colluded with his father to attack Mysterio and remove Mysterio's mask on the February 25 episode of SmackDown.[91] Rhodes would go on to use his protective mask as a weapon during matches by headbutting opponents and sometimes took off the mask to use it to hit his opponents.[92][93][94]
Rhodes and Mysterio faced off in a match at WrestleMania XXVII on April 3, which Rhodes won.[95] The duo also faced off in a Falls Count Anywhere match at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in May, which was won by Mysterio.[96] On subsequent episodes of SmackDown following Wrestlemania XXVII, Rhodes, with the help of assistants, would hand out paper bags to the audience during his promos. Rhodes demanded the audience to put on the paper bags on their heads to cover their ugliness and imperfections, because they offended him.[97] Rhodes also put paper bags over several of his opponents' heads after matches with them.[98][99]
Intercontinental Champion (2011–present)[link]
Rhodes reformed his alliance with Ted DiBiase on the May 20 episode of SmackDown, and the duo went on to feud with Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan.[100][101][102] At the second annual Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Rhodes participated in the Money in the Bank ladder match, but was unsuccessful as Bryan won the match.[103]
At the August 9 tapings of the August 12 episode of SmackDown, Rhodes defeated Ezekiel Jackson to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, his first singles title with the company.[104][105] He made his first title defense the following week on SmackDown, by defeating Jackson in a rematch.[106] That same night, Rhodes and DiBiase had a verbal confrontation with Orton. The following week, Rhodes attacked DiBiase after the latter lost a singles match to Orton, ending their alliance and resulting in a Intercontinental Championship match between the two at Night of Champions which Rhodes won.[107][108]
Simultaneously, Rhodes had begun a feud with Orton, with Orton defeating Rhodes on the September 9 episode of SmackDown,[109] but Rhodes defeated Orton on the September 12 episode of Raw with the help of Mark Henry's distraction of Orton.[110] On the September 23 episode of SmackDown, Rhodes defeated Orton by disqualification when Orton took Rhodes' mask off and hit him with it.[111] Post-match, Orton attacked Rhodes with the timekeeper's bell, legitimately cutting Rhodes and causing bleeding.[112] The footage was highly edited for some broadcasts.[113] The following week on SmackDown, Rhodes claimed he needed nine staples to close the wound.[114]
At the same time as his feud with Orton, Rhodes was successfully defending his Intercontinental Championship, including in a 10-man battle royal and against Sheamus in a singles match.[115][116] At the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 2, Rhodes debuted a new white design for the Intercontinental Championship, similar to the classic 1980's design, before successfully defending it against John Morrison.[117] Throughout October, Rhodes continued feuding with Orton, costing him the World Heavyweight Championship and attacking him.[118][119] At Vengeance, Rhodes was defeated by Orton in a non-title match.[120] On the November 4 episode of SmackDown, Orton defeated Rhodes in a Street Fight to end the feud; in the process, Orton broke Rhodes' mask.[121]
On the November 14 episode of Raw, Rhodes reappeared without his mask, claiming that Orton had set him free, signalling the end of his masked gimmick.[122] Rhodes was a member of Team Barrett for a traditional Survivor Series match at Survivor Series, in which he and Wade Barrett were the only two survivors and won the match.[123] Rhodes then feuded with SmackDown commentator Booker T, attacking him from behind on several occasions, and successfully retaining the Intercontinental Championship against him at Tables, Ladders & Chairs and on the January 6, 2012, episode of SmackDown.[124][125] In the 2012 Royal Rumble match, Rhodes lasted over 40 minutes, and eliminated more wrestlers than other any other competitor with six, before he was eliminated by Big Show.[126][127] At Elimination Chamber Rhodes pinned Show in the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match, before being eliminated by Santino Marella.[128][129] Rhodes spent the following weeks highlighting Show's embarrassing moments in previous WrestleManias, often costing Show to lose matches in the process.[130] At WrestleMania XXVIII, Rhodes lost the Intercontinental Championship to Big Show, ending his near eight month reign of 236 days.[131]
Following the loss at WrestleMania, Rhodes would go on a brief losing streak due to Show distracting him during matches.[132] Only four weeks after losing the title, Rhodes would regain the Intercontinental Championship from Show at Extreme Rules in a Tables match.[133] On the May 7 edition of Raw SuperShow, Rhodes retained his title against Show in a rematch after getting himself counted out.[134] Two weeks later at Over the Limit, Rhodes lost the Intercontinental Championship to the returning Christian.[135]
Other media[link]
In July 2009, Rhodes became one of the faces of the Gillette "Be a Superstar" advertising campaign, along with Chris Jericho and John Cena.[136][137] "Be a Superstar" was a four-month long interactive campaign, which featured the wrestlers in numerous videos promoting Gillette Fusion products.[136] In August 2009, Rhodes, along with DiBiase, The Big Show and The Great Khali appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.[138] On May 26, 2010 it was announced that Rhodes would be guest starring in an episode of Warehouse 13 as "Kurt Smoller", a love interest of character Myka Bering.[139] The episode aired in August 2010.

Professional wrestling career[link]
Early Career[link]
Stevens was trained by Chaotic Wrestling and debuted June 23, 2001 losing to Chris Harvey. Stevens formed a tag team with Edward G. Xtasy called One Night Stand and after two attempts beat Little Guido Maritato & Luis Ortiz for the Chaotic Wrestling Tag Team Championship. They would lose the titles two months later to John Walters & Vince Vicallo. In the next few years before signing with WWE he had three title shots, two for the Chaotic Wrestling Heavyweight Championship and one for the Chaotic Wrestling New England Championship and would lose them all.[7]
He made his World Wrestling Alliance debut on November 22 teaming with Edward G. Xtasy & Jimmy Snuka to defeat The Island Boys (Ekmo & Kimo) & Pat Piper. He would beat Danny Davis for the WWA Heavyweight Championship and would lose it to Jonah Adelman.[7]
World Wrestling Entertainment (2002-2007)[link]
Ohio Valley Wrestling and Smackdown!(2002–2007)[link]
Stevens signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after receiving numerous try-out matches on Heat against opponents such as Stevie Richards, Team Angle, Johnny Nitro and Maven.[1][8][9] He also worked an angle where he had his fingers "broken" by Raven on Heat.
He later was reassigned to WWE's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), dubbed Aaron "The Idol" Stevens.[1] At a house show in 2004, Stevens and Nova beat Chris Cage and Tank Toland to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.[10]
On January 4, 2006, Stevens won the OVW Television Championship after replacing Ken Doane in a three-way dance with Brent Albright and then-champion CM Punk.[11] Doane was injured halfway through the match and Stevens came out to replace him.[12] After interference from Punk, who was eliminated earlier in the match by Albright, Stevens was able to pin Albright to win the title.[12] At the March 8 television taping, Paul Burchill cost Stevens the Television Championship against Seth Skyfire.[13][14]
On August 4, 2006, Stevens made his SmackDown! debut as "Idol Stevens" when he was introduced (along with KC James) by Michelle McCool as one of her favorite "Teachers Pets".[15] The two went on to defeat Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty with the help of McCool.[15]
The following week, Stevens and James defeated WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick in a non-title match.[16] On the August 18 show, Stevens and James ambushed the Tag Team Champions.[17] The two teams began feuding, with London and Kendrick bringing in Ashley Massaro to counteract McCool.[18] The feud also briefly encompassed the team of Jamie Noble and Kid Kash, who also wanted a Tag Team title shot.[19][20] Stevens and James got their Tag Team Championship shot against the tandem at No Mercy on October 8, but failed to win the titles.[21][22] Soon after, both Stevens and James were taken off television and sent back to Ohio Valley Wrestling.[1]
After being removed from the SmackDown! roster when Michelle McCool was hospitalized, Stevens returned to OVW. He would lose to Charles Evans upon his return and no mention of his tag team venture with KC James was made.[1] On March 14, 2007 he defeated Paul Burchill to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship.[23] On May 9, after title defences against Cody Runnels and Mike Mondo, Burchill defeated Stevens to regain the OVW Championship.[24]The championship would then be vacated and Stevens would lose to Jay Bradley in a three way including Burchill. On June 8, Stevens defeated Burchill in a Number One OVW Heavyweight Contendership match.[25] He used his title shot in a three way which would once again include champion Jay Bradly and Paul Burchill, however, the match would not only be for Bradley's title but also Stevens's car and Burchill's house, Bradley defeated both men and therefore winning all three items.[26] His last match for OVW before being released would be a two rings steel cage flag match where along with Al Snow, Atlas DaBone, Chet The Jett, Colt Cabana would defeat Michael W. Kruel, Ramon, Raul, The Belgium Brawler & Vladimir Kozlov.[26]
Independent circuit (2008–2010)[link]
Idol made his return to the independent circuit at NWA 60th Anniversary Show losing to Mike DiBiase II in a match for the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship. He would go on to appear for XCW Wrestling Mid-West and Derby City Wrestling for the next few months before re-signing with OVW. On November 7, 2008 he lost to Steve Boz at A Tribute Fit For The King, a tribute show for Jerry Lawler.
Ohio Valley Wrestling Return (2008-2009)[link]
Idol returned to OVW once again on November 12, 2008 surprising and defeating OVW Heavyweight Champion, Anthony Bravado, in a non-title bout. This win guaranteed him a title shot. On November 26, he won the Championship, becoming a two time champion.[23] On December 3, 2008 he teamed up with U-Gene to take part in OVW Southern Tag Team Championship number one contendership tournament, in round one they defeated Theta Lampda Psi. However a week later the team would lose to Anthony Bravado & The Buck. He lost the title to Vaughn Lilas at the January 14, 2009 television taping. In February 2009, he lost to Mike Mondo in an OVW Television Championship match which included Johnny Punch. His last match for OVW came on February 11, in a rematch for the championship where Mondo was once victorious.[26]
World Wrestling Council (2009-2010)[link]
Idol returned to Puerto Rico, but in a different promotion, the World Wrestling Council, where he was the "protegido" of Jose Chaparro and a member of the "American Family". He debuted on February 28, 2009, defeating Angel. He defeated BJ for the WWC Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship,[6] before losing it to Shane Sewell. On August 15, 2009, Stevens and Shawn Spears defeated Thunder and Lightning to become the new WWC World Tag Team Champions. Later Stevens feuded with Shawn Spears which ended at Euphoria 2010. Stevens won the WWC Tag Team Champion with King Tonga Jr. by defeating Thunder and Lightning. On October 31 Stevens and Spears lost the Tag Team Championship back to Thunder and Lightning. On February 20, 2010, Chicano named Stevens his new Tag Team Championship partner to replace Bryan. On March 13 Thunder and Lightning defeated Stevens and Chicano to win the titles. After Stevens regained the titles with King Tonga Jr., the duo lost them to Los Aerios (Carlitos and Hiram Tua) on April 24, 2010.[27] Stevens regained the Tag Team Championship from Los Aerios on June 11, 2010, this time teaming with Abbad and lost it to Thunder and Lightning in a three-way match, also involving BJ and Chicano, on July 11, 2010.[28] His last match for WWC before signing with WWE cam on July 31, losing to Joe Don Smith.
Return to WWE[link]
Florida Championship Wrestling (2010–present)[link]
On July 14, 2010, it was reported that Stevens had signed a new developmental deal with the WWE, and had changed his ring name to Damien Sandow.[29] On December 3, Sandow won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship with Titus O'Neill by defeating Xavier Woods and Mason Ryan in a match for the vacant championship.[30] They lost the championship to Richie Steamboat and Seth Rollins on March 25, 2011.[31] After losing the title, Sandow turned on O'Neill and joined the group formed by Lucky Cannon, Aksana and Maxine.[32] On September 22, Sandow defeated Seth Rollins to win the FCW 15 Championship.[33] On December 6, prior to the WWE SmackDown tapings, Sandow was given a tryout dark match against Yoshi Tatsu, but lost. On January 13, 2012, Sandow lost the FCW 15 Championship to Richie Steamboat.[34]
SmackDown (2012-present)[link]
The character of Damien Sandow, an arrogant intellectual, first appeared in WWE on the April 6, 2012 episode of SmackDown in a pre-taped interview denouncing today's pop culture and extolling his virtues.[35] After weeks of vignettes, Sandow debuted on the May 4 episode of SmackDown but refused to compete in his scheduled match against Derrick Bateman, claiming that the audience would neither learn nor benefit from him facing an inferior opponent.[36][37] On the May 18 episode of SmackDown, Sandow again refused to wrestle against Yoshi Tatsu and then attacked him after Tatsu called him a chicken.[38] The following week, Sandow made his in-ring debut, defeating Tatsu.[39]

Bryan Danielson[4] (born May 22, 1981)[4] is an American professional wrestler signed to WWE and appearing on its SmackDown brand. Danielson works with WWE under the name Daniel Bryan. He has also been known by the ring name, and later nickname, the American Dragon.[4][9]
In professional wrestling, Danielson is former Ring of Honor World champion,[10] a two-time Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World champion,[11] a one-time Westside Xtreme Wrestling Heavyweight champion,[12][13] a one-time FIP Heavyweight Champion and a one-time World Heavyweight Champion in WWE.
As well as these World Championships, Danielson also won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship once in Pro Wrestling Noah and is officially recognized as the final ROH Pure Champion, as he unified the Pure Title with the ROH World title in 2006.[14] He also won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in New Japan Pro Wrestling with Curry Man.[4]
Until 2009, Danielson primarily competed on the independent circuit. ROH was generally regarded as his home promotion[citation needed], but he also worked in FIP, PWG, and the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). He has also worked internationally, most notably in Pro Wrestling Noah through ROH's involvement in the Global Professional Wrestling Alliance, a global organization of cooperative promotions that allow their competitors to travel abroad to other companies.[15] He also competed in a handful of matches in WWE before signing an actual contract with the company in 2009.[1][16]
In June 2010, shortly after the end of the first season of the WWE NXT show in which Danielson participated, WWE announced that he had been released from his contract.[17] He returned to WWE in August at SummerSlam, and won the WWE United States Championship the following month.[18][19] On July 17, 2011, Bryan won the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match.[20] On December 18, 2011, Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Big Show to become World Heavyweight Champion.[21][22]

Professional wrestling career[link]
Early career (1999–2004)[link]
Danielson's first exposure in wrestling was as a backyard wrestler competing for Backyard Championship Wrestling (BCW) under his real name with the nickname "The Dagger". There he won the promotion's Heavyweight Championship.[1] After Danielson graduated from high school in 1999, he decided to pursue wrestling professionally and initially attempted to train at Dean Malenko's wrestling school. Due to its subsequent closure, however, he instead trained under Shawn Michaels and Rudy Gonzalez at the Texas Wrestling Academy.[23][7] Danielson debuted in Michaels' promotion, the Texas Wrestling Alliance (TWA), and on March 21, 2000, he won his first professional wrestling championship, when he teamed with Spanky to win the TWA Tag Team Championship by defeating Jeromy Sage and Ruben Cruz.[4]
As Danielson continued to tour the country, he was signed to a developmental deal by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to work in their developmental system where recently signed performers train and refine their skills before debuting on WWF's television programming, and was assigned to Memphis Championship Wrestling (MCW). There, Danielson gained exposure, and was trained by WWF competitor William Regal. In a 2012 interview, Danielson credited Regal as being instrumental in the development of his career.[7] It was during this time that Danielson adopted his well-known moniker "American Dragon".[24] WWF severed its ties with MCW in 2001, releasing Danielson from his contract, but not before he won the MCW Light Heavyweight Championship and the MCW Tag Team Championship with Spanky.[4] Danielson returned to the company on later dates after it was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment to compete on its secondary programming, Velocity and Heat, initially as enhancement talent before being allowed to compete in longer matches; he once wrestled future WWE Champion John Cena in a losing effort.[25][26]
Danielson also toured Japan with the promotion, Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) with fellow trainee from the Texas Wrestling Academy, Lance Cade, competing in several tag team matches.[1][8] He returned to the country after his release from the WWF, competing in Japan's premier promotion, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). In NJPW, he used his American Dragon persona, and donned a red, white, and blue mask reminiscent of a dragon.[27] As a part of the junior heavyweight division, Danielson had success in both singles and tag team competition in the company, the latter of which culminated on March 12, 2004 when Danielson (sans mask) won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship with Curry Man from division veterans, Jado and Gedo, on the Hyper Battle tour.[28]
Ring of Honor[link]
Founding father (2002–2005)[link]
In 2002, Danielson joined the independent promotion, Ring of Honor, where he is acknowledged as a "Founding Father" of the company by fans,[29] as he was one of the wrestlers who made the company prominent during its inception, and competed in the main event of the company's debut show, The Era of Honor Begins, in a three-way match against Low Ki and Christopher Daniels.[30] He continued to have critically acclaimed matches in the company that would last for extended periods of time with numerous wrestlers, including a match with Austin Aries that lasted for eighty minutes.[31] One of the more notable rivalries he had in the early years in the company was with Homicide; the two embarked in numerous matches with a variety of stipulations, culminating in a steel cage match at The Final Showdown, which was won by Danielson.[32]
At that time, Danielson had long been regarded as the best wrestler in ROH to have never held a major title belt; despite winning the company's inaugural Survival of the Fittest tournament in 2004, championship gold constantly eluded him. It came to the point where, in 2005, Danielson announced in the company's newsletter, the ROH Newswire, that he had quit ROH after being frustrated by his inability to defeat Austin Aries for the ROH World Championship. It was later revealed Danielson had become frustrated in general with professional wrestling and planned to take some time off to evaluate his career options.[33] Danielson had several dates booked in Europe and Japan, however, leading fans to believe that the periodical was likely a storyline claim for Danielson's absence during this period. In May 2005, rumors started that Total Nonstop Action Wrestling was interested in signing Danielson, and he also had some more tryout matches with WWE at that time, but none of these events led to anything, as he remained in ROH.[1]
World Champion (2005–2006)[link]
Danielson defeated James Gibson for the ROH World Championship at Glory by Honor IV on September 15, 2005.[4][34][35] The rest of the year saw Danielson have many successful title defenses, competing against all comers, even those from other companies, such as Pro Wrestling Noah star Naomichi Marufuji, at Final Battle 2005.[36]
At the beginning of 2006, Chris Hero, a representative from Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), invaded ROH and targeted Danielson; this led to the two exchanging words over the Internet before having a match together with nearly the entire roster of both companies embarking on an interpromotional feud.[37] Danielson became personally invested in this feud, and invaded CZW himself,[38] which led to him having physical altercations with a number of CZW wrestlers. Hero intensified the rivalry, leading to the two wrestling at ROH's Hell Freezes Over event, where Danielson successfully defended the ROH World Championship.[39] He soon filled the vacant slot on ROH's five-man team which participated in one of CZW's more popular attractions, a steel cage match called the Cage of Death, a ten-man tag team match that would have a man from each team start out in the cage, with one more random competitor entering into the match after an allotted amount of time. During the match he turned on his team by assaulting his rival, Samoa Joe, before leaving the match and effectively abandoning his involvement in the animosity between the two promotions.[40] As the interpromotional hostility with CZW heightened, Danielson also defended against challengers from the rival company, who had signed an open contract for any CZW wrestler willing to challenge for the ROH World Title. Former champion Samoa Joe also challenged Danielson during his constant defenses, only to have their match end in a sixty-minute draw.[41]
Ring of Honor, while having the ROH World Championship, faced the issue of having another title with seemingly equal value, the ROH Pure Championship. Danielson and the ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness had a match to unify the titles. They met at April 29 in a match fought under pure wrestling rules and McGuinness left Danielson outside the ring after a chair shot to win by count out; this would be enough to win the Pure Title but not Danielson's World Title. Consequently they had another unification match in McGuinness' native England where ROH declared there would be a winner, with a title changing hands by count out and disqualification, and a draw would force a restart.[42] Danielson won the match on August 12 and retired the Pure Title as its last champion.[43][44] During a match with Colt Cabana on August 26, Danielson received an injury; he separated his shoulder,[4] tearing two tendons in it, and tore another tendon in his chest, which led to his next few matches being cancelled.[1] Danielson returned at Glory by Honor V: Night 2, and was challenged by KENTA, a guest competitor from Pro Wrestling Noah, due to the two company's talent exchange agreement; Danielson again retained his championship. At Final Battle 2006, Danielson's fifteen-month title reign finally ended after losing to Homicide, and he subsequently took time off from wrestling in order to heal his shoulder.[4][34]
Later years (2007–2009)[link]
On May 11, Danielson made his return to the company at Reborn Again where he defeated Shane Hagadorn and Adam Pearce in separate matches. On May 12 Ring of Honor filmed its first pay-per-view, Respect is Earned, which had Danielson team with ROH World Champion, Takeshi Morishima, to take on Nigel McGuinness and Kenta; Danielson's team scored the win, as Danielson made Kenta tap out to his signature submission hold, the Cattle Mutilation. Danielson made his return to contention for the ROH World title by defeating Nigel McGuinness at Domination, which would appear on the company's next pay per view, Driven.[45] This allowed him to, now as a heroic character, challenge Morishima for the title at Manhattan Mayhem in a losing effort;[46] he also suffered a legitimate detached retina.[47] Following a subsequent surgery, Danielson returned with intent to challenge Morishima once more, leading to a match at Man Up that had the referee stop the match due to Danielson being unable to respond to him.[48] Danielson exacted revenge, albeit by Morishima getting disqualified, at Rising Above against his rival by assaulting him before Morishima returned to Japan.[49] Morishima returned to the company at Final Battle 2008, in a match billed as a "Fight Without Honor", which allowed both men to use weapons, which Danielson won.[50] Danielson noted in a March 2012 interview that the biggest sense of validation he ever had at that point was at Final Battle 2008 because he and Morishima managed to sell out 2,500 people in New York City.[51]
Over the coming months Danielson worked with Austin Aries again as friendly rivals, exchanging victories[52] including a match on pay-per-view at Take No Prisoners, which was won by Danielson. Danielson also aided Aries by becoming his partner in order to take on The Age of the Fall as revenge for Aries. The two wrestled all members of the group in a series of different stipulation matches, as well as teaming together frequently to challenge members Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black for the ROH World Tag Team Championship.[53]
As part of ROH's agreement with Pro Wrestling Noah, the company held a show in Japan on September 14 titled the Tokyo Summit, where Danielson wrestled GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and won the championship. Following his victory, he was interviewed, and announced that Noah would allow him defend the title in Ring of Honor,[54] with his first defense being at Glory By Honor VII, defeating Katsuhiko Nakajima, a competitor from the Kensuke Office, another member promotion of the GPWA.[55] This would ultimately be his only successful defense, however, as he would return to Japan on October 13 to lose the title to Kenta.[56] Following his loss, Danielson challenged McGuinness for the title at the next ROH pay per view, Rising Above in a losing effort.
Ring of Honor made its national television debut with the program, Ring of Honor Wrestling, and Danielson made his television debut in the main event of its third episode by defeating Austin Aries.[57] The following episode to feature Danielson had him wrestle Tyler Black, which ended in a draw. This was the start of a rivalry between the two that was highlighted by Danielson's respect for Tyler, even claiming Black would be the top star in the future, with Danielson's antithesis being that would not happen for a while, leading to the two have many more matches that kept the notion of neither man truly being better.[58] At this point, as well, Danielson became more involved in trying to win the ROH World Tag Team title, so, out of respect to his rival, had chosen Black to be his partner.[59] The two attempted to win the title multiple times, leading to a conflict, dismantling the partnership.[60]
On August 23, it was announced Danielson signed a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment; prior to joining the company, he embarked on a farewell tour with ROH known as The Final Countdown Tour, which saw him challenge Aries for the title again in a losing effort.[61] On September 26 at Glory by Honor VIII: The Final Countdown, he won his last match in the company against Nigel McGuinness, who was also having his final match with the company.[62]
Independent promotions (2003–2009)[link]
Aside from competing primarily in ROH, Danielson has also competed in a multitude of other independent promotions, both in the United States and abroad. In 2003, Danielson also toured the United Kingdom for British promotion, All Star Wrestling. While he was in the UK, Danielson won the World Heavy Middleweight Championship on May 6 in an 8 Man One Night Tournament in Croydon defeating James Mason. He spent the next 6 months in the UK, working for ASW, FWA, WAW and Premier Promotions.[4] He returned several times over the next 5 years, working for various promotions. In February 2005, at New Dawn Rising, Danielson made his debut in ROH's sister promotion, Full Impact Pro (FIP), teaming up with Rocky Romero in a match against Austin Aries and Homicide.[63] The next night at Dangerous Intentions Danielson competed in a losing effort against CM Punk,[64] which led to a brief feud between the two.[65] Danielson's biggest success came in 2006 by winning the FIP World Heavyweight Championship,[66] holding the belt for eleven months before losing it to Roderick Strong.[4] Danielson wrestled his last match for FIP in December 2006 at Florida Rumble, in a losing effort to Erick Stevens.[67]
Danielson has also wrestled in the California-based promotion, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). He made his debut in November 2003 at An Inch Longer Than Average, in a losing effort to PWG Champion Frankie Kazarian.[68] He continued to appear in PWG over the next couple of years, winning the PWG World Championship in 2007, and holding it for six months before taking an eleven-month hiatus from the company. He made his return to PWG at the 2008 Battle of Los Angeles tournament. In May 2009, he made another appearance teaming with Paul London, referring to himself as American Dolphin in a parodied manner.[69] On September 4, 2009, at Guerre Sans Frontières, during his last night in PWG, Danielson defeated Chris Hero to win the PWG World Championship for the second time and immediately vacated it afterward.[11]
Following his return from his injury in 2007, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) published a video of Danielson stating his intent to challenge for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, as the establishment that sanctioned the title at the time, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, was relinquishing the title back to the NWA.[70] A tournament, titled Reclaiming the Glory, was held to determine the new champion with Danielson making his way to finals, scheduled to compete face Brent Albright on September 1, but due to the eye injury he sustained at Manhattan Mayhem,[71] the NWA announced he withdrew from the tournament with and Adam Pearce replacing him; Danielson was appointed the referee of the match.[1]
In 2009, Danielson's contract with Ring of Honor expired;[5] this opened up Danielson to travel to other companies more freely while competing in his home promotion. He made his debut with Philadelphia-based promotion, Chikara to compete in their King of Trios tournament, which saw him team with Claudio Castagnoli and Dave Taylor in a contingency called Team Uppercut.[72] In the same year, it was announced Danielson would compete in Dragon Gate USA in their second show, which saw him lose to Open the Dream Gate Champion Naruki Doi.[73]
World Wrestling Entertainment (2009–2010)[link]

On August 23, 2009, ROH announced that Danielson had signed a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[74] Danielson made his debut as a WWE contracted wrestler on January 4, 2010, in a dark match prior to Raw, defeating Chavo Guerrero.[75] Later that week it was reported that Danielson had requested to go to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), the WWE developmental territory, to acclimate himself to his new work environment and work what he saw as "ring rust".[76] He made his debut at the FCW television tapings on January 14, where he was defeated by Kaval.[1] At the February 11 tapings, Danielson was renamed Daniel Bryan.[2] He later indicated that he was given a list of ten possible names to use in the WWE and "Daniel Bryan" was one of them, while "Bryan Danielson" was not on that list.[77]
On February 16, it was announced that he would be wrestling on the first season of the WWE NXT show, using the name Daniel Bryan, with The Miz as his storyline mentor.[78] He made his debut on the inaugural episode of NXT on February 23, losing by submission to the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho. After the match, Bryan was attacked by The Miz for disrespecting him earlier in the show.[79] Over the next several weeks, Bryan failed to win a single match, but despite having a win-loss record of 0–5, he was ranked first in the inaugural Pros' Poll on the March 30 episode of NXT.[80][81] After losing five more matches on NXT, Bryan earned his first victory on the May 10 episode of Raw by pinning Santino Marella in an eight-on-four handicap match.[82] The following night on NXT, he was eliminated from the show, along with Michael Tarver, as neither man had confidence in themselves to win the competition.[83] Later that night, in an interview, Danielson said that the elimination might be the end of Daniel Bryan, but that Bryan Danielson will be fine.[84] Despite his elimination, he appeared on the following episodes of NXT, being interviewed by Matt Striker and attacking both Michael Cole, who had constantly belittled him on commentary, and The Miz.[85][86]
On the May 31 episode of Raw, Bryan defeated The Miz in a singles match, and after the match, he threw The Miz into Cole, who was commentating at ringside.[87] The following week on Raw, the season one NXT rookies interfered in the main event match between John Cena and CM Punk, attacking both competitors, the announce team, and the ring announcer Justin Roberts, before dismantling the ring area and surrounding equipment, turning Bryan and the other rookies heel in the process.[88] On June 11, 2010, WWE announced that Danielson was fired from WWE.[17] It was reported by the Wrestling Observer that Bryan was released as WWE felt that Bryan's act of strangling ring announcer Justin Roberts with his own tie during the segment on the June 7 episode of Raw was too violent for their TV-PG programming.[89] Danielson noted that WWE apologized to him for his release, claiming that they "had sponsors they had to deal with".[7] His release was put in a storyline, where the rest of the NXT rookies kicked him out of the group for showing remorse for his actions and declared that Bryan will never return to the WWE again.[90]
Return to the independent circuit (2010)[link]
.jpg)
After being released, Danielson received several offers to sign with other wrestling companies, being contacted by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, albeit indirectly, and some Japanese promotions.[7] Two weeks after his departure from WWE, Danielson made his return to the independent circuit on June 26, 2010, defeating Eddie Kingston at the Chikara event We Must Eat Michigan's Brain in Taylor, Michigan.[91] Rather than receiving streamers, the fans instead threw neck ties in light of the Justin Roberts incident in WWE.[92] The following day at Chikara's Faded Scars and Lines Danielson defeated Young Lions Cup holder Tim Donst in a non–title match.[93] On July 3 Danielson returned to westside Xtreme wrestling, defeating Wade Fitzgerald and TJP in the round robin stage of the Ambition 1 tournament.[94] The following day he defeated Tommy End, TJP in a rematch and finally Johnny Moss in the finals of the tournament to win Ambition 1.[95] On July 17, Danielson debuted in the International Wrestling Association (IWA), being booked to defeat Q.T. Marshall for the IWA Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship.[96] On July 23 Danielson debuted in the fledgling Evolve promotion, which was originally conceived to be built around Danielson as their top star before he signed to WWE.[97] In the main event, he defeated Bobby Fish,[98] while Danielson continued on undefeated the following day by returning to Dragon Gate USA, and submitted Shingo in the dark match main event Return of the Dragon.[99] After the match Danielson joined BxB Hulk, Masato Yoshino, Naruki Doi and PAC as the fifth member of the stable World–1.[99] On July 30 Danielson returned to Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, competing in a match where he defeated Roderick Strong.[100] On August 7 Danielson unsuccessfully challenged Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the NWA Legends Fanfest.[101]
Despite returning to WWE on August 15, Danielson honored most of his independent bookings, making his first appearance on August 20 and defeating Jon Moxley at Heartland Wrestling Association's Road to Destiny.[102] The following day he was defeated by Drake Younger at Insanity Pro Wrestling's Ninth Anniversary Reign of the Insane.[103] The day after that Danielson defeated J Freddie at a Squared Circle Wrestling event.[104] On September 10 he returned to the IWA, using the name Daniel Bryan, and lost the IWA Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship to Dennis Rivera.[105] The following day Danielson returned to Evolve, defeating Munenori Sawa in the main event.[106] Later that same night Danielson wrestled for New York Wrestling Connection in a tag team match, where he and Tony Nese defeated Dimitrios Papadon and Alex Reynolds.[107] On September 25 Danielson returned to Dragon Gate USA and defeated YAMATO in the main event of the evening.[108] The following day Danielson defeated Jon Moxley.[109] On October 1 Danielson wrestled the last of his independent matches by defeating Shelton Benjamin at a Northeast Wrestling event.[110]
Return to WWE[link]
United States Champion (2010–2011)[link]
On August 15, 2010, Danielson returned to WWE as Daniel Bryan at the SummerSlam pay-per-view, where he was revealed as the surprise seventh member of Team WWE for the seven-on-seven elimination tag team match against The Nexus, the other NXT season one competitors. At the event, Bryan was one of the two final members of Team WWE, and managed to eliminate two members of the Nexus, but was eliminated by Wade Barrett after his former pro The Miz, whose place he took in Team WWE, attacked him. Despite this, Team WWE won the match.[18][111] The following night, he was revealed as part of the Raw roster. He feuded with the Miz, with both interfering in each other's matches, and The Miz being aided by Alex Riley, his rookie from the second season of NXT.[112] At Night of Champions, Bryan defeated The Miz to win the WWE United States Championship, his first championship in WWE.[19][113]
He then successfully defended the championship two weeks later, by defeating The Miz and John Morrison in a triple threat submissions count anywhere match at Hell in a Cell, and successfully defended it against Ted DiBiase at Survivor Series.[114][115] On the November 30 episode of NXT, it was announced that Bryan was returning to the show as the Pro to NXT Rookie Derrick Bateman on season four.[116][117] In late 2010, The Bella Twins began competing for Bryan's affection, leading to them supporting him at ringside and competing in mixed tag team matches together. On the January 24, 2011 episode of Raw, it was revealed that Bryan had been secretly dating Gail Kim, who began accompanying him to ringside.[118][119] On the March 14 episode of Raw, Bryan lost the United States Championship to Sheamus.[120] Bryan was originally scheduled to have his rematch against Sheamus for the United States Championship on the main card at WrestleMania XXVII, but the match was rescheduled as a preshow dark match; a lumberjack match that ended in a no contest when the lumberjacks fought among themselves to trigger the start of a battle royal.[121] Bryan lost his title rematch the next night on Raw, after which he was saved from Sheamus by the debuting Sin Cara.[122]
World Heavyweight Champion (2011–present)[link]
On April 26, Bryan was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2011 Supplemental Draft.[123] Bryan debuted for the SmackDown brand on the May 6 episode, when he lost to Sheamus.[124] Cody Rhodes then started a feud with Bryan by attacking him after losing their match and placing a paper bag on his head. Bryan then aligned with Sin Cara to feud with Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase .[125][126] On June 28, Bryan returned to NXT to manage Derrick Bateman once again.[127]
On July 17 at Money in the Bank, Bryan won the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match which earned him a World Heavyweight Championship at any point within the following year.[20] On the July 22 episode of SmackDown, Bryan declared he would cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania XXVIII.[128] After several months of losing matches, Bryan began a feud with World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry. On November 4, Henry challenged Bryan to a non-title match to prove Bryan could not become champion. During the match, Big Show knocked out Henry, making him win by disqualification. Big Show, as a friend of Bryan, then urged a groggy Bryan to cash in his championship match but Henry recovered and attacked both Bryan and Big Show before the match could start.[129] After losing a rematch, Bryan suffered attacks from Henry the following two weeks.[130][131] On November 25, Henry was knocked out again by Big Show at which point Bryan cashed in his briefcase for a title match and quickly pinned Henry. However, SmackDown authority figure Teddy Long revealed that Henry was not medically cleared to compete and voided the match, so Henry remained champion and the briefcase was returned to Bryan.[132] Bryan later admitted he betrayed his principles by not waiting for WrestleMania, but explained he felt strongly about exacting revenge on Henry and realised he may not make it to WrestleMania due to Henry's continued attacks.[133][134] Regardless of his briefcase, Bryan won a four-way match on the same episode of SmackDown to become the contender for Henry's championship.[135] On the live November 29 SmackDown, Henry managed to pin Bryan to retain his title in a steel cage match.[136] Also in November, Bryan started being involved in a romantic storyline with AJ.[137][138]
Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on December 18 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs against Big Show, who had just defeated Henry and subsequently received a DDT onto a steel chair, which allowed Bryan to secure a pinfall victory and become the World Heavyweight Champion.[21][22] In the following weeks, tension was teased between Bryan and Big Show, with Big Show unhappy about Bryan taking the world championship from him, and Bryan being displeased about Big Show's lack of appreciation for Bryan's help in matches against Henry.[139] As World Champion, Bryan began a slow heel turn as he gradually showed signs of overconfidence and arrogance,[140] with Bryan began partaking in excessive victory celebrations even when he won his matches by disqualification or count-out.[141] Also, despite AJ's declaration of love for Bryan,[142] Bryan avoided saying that he loved her in return.[143]
In January 2012, Bryan successfully defended his title thrice; the first occasion against Big Show when Bryan goaded Mark Henry into attacking him and causing a disqualification; the second occasion a No Disqualification rematch with Show which ended abruptly after Show accidentally ran into AJ, hospitalising her within the storyline for which Bryan blamed him; the third occasion against Henry in a Lumberjack match when Bryan provoked the lumberjacks to interfere and cause a no contest.[144][145][146] This culminated in a Triple Threat Steel Cage match to exclude outside interference; at the 2012 Royal Rumble event, Bryan escaped the cage after freeing himself from Big Show's grasp to retain his championship.[147]
At Elimination Chamber, Bryan defeated Big Show, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, The Great Khali and Santino Marella to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. After the match, Sheamus attacked Bryan and chose him as his WrestleMania opponent for the World Heavyweight Championship.[148] In March, Bryan began to mistreat AJ, publicly demanding her to shut up and claiming that she always got in his way.[149] Despite these actions, AJ continued to stand by Bryan.[150] Bryan's reign as world champion ended when Sheamus defeated him in eighteen seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII due to Bryan being distracted with receiving a good luck kiss from AJ.[151] On the next episode of SmackDown, Bryan blamed AJ for his world title loss and ended their relationship.[152] Despite AJ's attempts to mend their relationship, Bryan cruelly rebuffed her multiple times, leaving AJ an emotional wreck.[153] At Extreme Rules, Bryan failed to regain the World Heavyweight Championship from Sheamus in a 2-Out-of-3 Falls match, losing two falls to one.[154]
The following night on Raw, Bryan became the #1 contender to CM Punk's WWE Championship when he won the Beat The Clock challenge by defeating Jerry "The King" Lawler in under 3 minutes.[155] Bryan received his title shot at Over the Limit; he suffered a controversial loss when Bryan rolled back onto his shoulders as he applied the "Yes!" Lock on Punk, Punk tapped out immediately after the referee counted a pinfall win for Punk.[156]
Gimmick[link]
Danielson has spent the majority of his career without an overt character in favor of becoming popular with the fans through his monikers, signature mannerisms, and wrestling ability. His attire has varied, as well, with the majority of his tenure wearing a pair of short trunks,[157] but also ventured into wearing a mask for a time in Japan as an extension of his "American Dragon" persona.[27]
A notable part of Danielson's persona are his mannerisms and the reaction he inspires from the crowd during the course of his matches that include:
- During his time in Ring of Honor Danielson made his way to the ring to his entrance song, "The Final Countdown"; once in the ring, he stood on the top turnbuckle and sang the refrain along with the fans in attendance.[158]
- After winning the ROH World Championship, Danielson displayed traits of a heel-like persona, starting to behave more aggressively and threatening to the fans, as well as taking more liberties with the rules. Despite his rulebreaking character, he still retained a certain level of popularity with the fans, as well as his upholding of the company's Code of Honor, ROH's storyline rules of wrestler conduct, allowing him to perform as a more neutral character.[159]
- Applying a submission hold while the opponent gets a part of their body in the ring ropes, leading to the referee counting to five (not releasing the hold by the count of five would result in a disqualification); as the referee would be about to disqualify Danielson, the latter would release the hold, instructing the referee: "I have till five!"[160]
- During his initial reign as ROH World Champion, telling the ring announcer to add an extra note about him appertaining to the current circumstances around his match; this was generally insulting the crowd or his opponent.[161]
- At the beginning of Danielson's ROH matches the crowd chanted, "You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in!" at Danielson's opponent.[162]
- After winning WWE's World Heavyweight Championship Bryan began shouting "Yes!" repeatedly on his way to the ring and after defeating an opponent. Danielson credits UFC fighter Diego Sanchez with the inspiration.[163][164] This chant grew in popularity, particularly due to the backlash of fans voicing their discontent at how short Bryan's WrestleMania XXVIII match was,[165] and has been even heard outside WWE events, at Major League Baseball, National Hockey League and National Basketball Association games,[165][164][166] and even at music concerts.[167]
- Danielson, who is a vegan in his day-to-day life, has incorporated his vegan lifestyle into his heel persona to elicit heat from the crowd.[168]
Personal life[link]
Danielson has cited a number of wrestlers as influences to his style: Toshiaki Kawada, Mitsuharu Misawa, and William Regal.[169] He has also made mention of modeling his wrestling off of the work of Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit in his early career, then using Jujutsu as a platform to develop his own style.[170] In 2009, Danielson relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he has began training in mixed martial arts at Randy Couture's Xtreme Couture gym;[5][7] also, Xtreme Couture's head grappling trainer, Neil Melanson, is Danielson's roommate.[7]
During his time as World Champion, ROH appointed Danielson the head trainer of the ROH Wrestling Academy, replacing Austin Aries.[171] He relinquished the position to Delirious in 2007.[172]
Danielson became a vegan in 2009, after getting several liver infections.[173][174] In 2012, Danielson was awarded a Libby Award from PETA for being the "Most Animal-Friendly Athlete".[175] In honor of Danielson, Mayor Micah Cawley of Yakima, Washington declared January 13 as “Daniel Bryan Day."[176]
Danielson is a fan of indie rock music and recorded a single with Kimya Dawson that was a tribute to wrestling legend "Captain" Lou Albano.[164]
Danielson is currently dating former WWE Diva Brie Bella since March 2012.[177][178]

Paul Watson (born December 2, 1950) is a Canadian animal rights and environmental activist, who founded and is president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a direct action group devoted to marine conservation.[1]
The Toronto native joined a Sierra Club protest against nuclear testing in 1969. He was an early and influential member of Greenpeace, crewed and skippered for it, and later was a board member. Watson argued for a strategy of direct action that conflicted with the Greenpeace interpretation of nonviolence, was ousted from the board in 1977, and subsequently left the organization. That same year, he formed Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The group is the subject of a reality show, Whale Wars.
He also promotes veganism, voluntary human population control, and a biocentric, rather than anthropocentric, worldview.[2]

Early and personal life[link]
Paul Watson was born in Toronto to Anthony Joseph Watson and Annamarie Larsen, and grew up in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. After working as a tour guide at Expo 67, the World's Fair that took place in Montreal in 1967, Watson "rode the rails" in boxcars west to Vancouver.[3]
In 1968 and the early 1970s, he joined the Canadian Coast Guard, where he served aboard weatherships, search and rescue hovercraft, and buoy tenders. He signed up as a merchant seaman in 1969 with the Norwegian Consulate in Vancouver and shipped out on the 35,000 ton bulk carrier Bris as a deck hand. The Bris was registered in Oslo, Norway and manifested for the Indian Ocean and Pacific trade.[3]
Watson has one child (born 1980) with his first wife, Starlet Lum,[4] who was a founding director of Greenpeace Quebec, Earthforce!, Project Wolf, and Sea Shepherd. His second wife, Lisa DiStefano, a former model, was Sea Shepherd's Director of Operations during the Makah anti-whaling campaigns in Friday Harbor.[1] His third wife, Allison Lance, is an animal rights activist and a volunteer crew member of Sea Shepherd.[5][6][7]
Activism[link]
Early years[link]
In October 1969, Watson joined a Sierra Club protest against nuclear testing at Amchitka Island. The group which formed as a result of that protest was the Don't Make a Wave Committee, which evolved into the group known today as Greenpeace.[8] Watson sailed as a crewmember aboard the Greenpeace Too! ship in 1971[9] and skippered the Greenpeace boat Astral in 1972.[3] Paul Watson continued as a crew member, skipper, and officer aboard several Greenpeace voyages throughout the mid-1970s. According to Watson, in June 1975 during a Greenpeace campaign to confront Soviet whaling, an incident occurred which changed his life.[10]
Greenpeace states that Watson "...was an influential early member but not, as he sometimes claims, a founder."[11] According to the New Yorker ( and Paul Watson himself), he was indeed a founding member.[12][13]
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society[link]
Main article: Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
The first Sea Shepherd vessel, the Sea Shepherd, was purchased in December 1978 with assistance from Fund for Animals.[9][14] Sea Shepherd soon established itself as one of the more controversial environmental groups, known for provocative direct action tactics. These tactics have included throwing objects onto the decks of whaling ships, the use of "prop foulers" in an attempt to sabotage the ships, boarding whaling vessels,[15] and the scuttling of two ships in an Icelandic harbor.[16] Watson uses the title "captain", although he has never been licensed as a ship's captain.[1] The organization and its activities to halt whaling are the focus of a reality TV series, Whale Wars, airing on Animal Planet.
Other environmental activities[link]
Watson was a field correspondent for Defenders of Wildlife from 1976 to 1980 and a field representative for the Fund for Animals from 1978 to 1981.[9] Watson also was a co-founder of Friends of the Wolf and Earthforce Environmental Society.[9]
During the 1980s, Watson declared his support for Earth First! and cultivated friendships with David Foreman and Edward Abbey. He proclaimed Sea Shepherd to be the "navy" of Earth First! According to the New Yorker, Watson revived the 19th century practice of tree spiking.[1]
Although currently unaffiliated with it, Watson did work with the Green Party of British Columbia in Vancouver in the 1980s and 90s.[17] He ran for mayor in 1996, placing fourth.[18]
In April 2003, Watson was elected to the board of directors of the Sierra Club for a three-year term.[19] In 2006, he did not seek re-election. He resigned from the board a month before his term ended, in protest against the organization's sponsorship of a "Why I Hunt" essay contest.[20]
Watson feels that "no human community should be larger than 20,000 people," human populations need to be reduced radically to "fewer than one billion," and only those who are "completely dedicated to the responsibility" of caring for the biosphere should have children, which is a "very small percentage of humans." He likens humankind to a virus, the biosphere needs to get cured from with a "radical and invasive approach," as from cancer.[21]
In January 2008 Paul Watson was named by The Guardian as one of its "50 people who could save the planet" for the work of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.[22]
Writings on activism[link]
Watson published Earthforce!, a guide to strategy for environmental activists in 1993.[23] In it, he specifically endorsed the tactics of "monkeywrenching" previously described by Dave Foreman[24] and Edward Abbey.[25] According to Foreman in Eco-Defense—The Field Guide to Monkey-Wrenching, these are tactics of sabotage, covert activity, and direct action.[26] Watson says he incorporated his own personal experience in writing the book.[27]
In Earthforce! An Earth Warrior’s Guide to Strategy, Watson expressed disdain for the truthfulness of mainstream media:
The nature of the mass media today is such that the truth is irrelevant. What is true and what is right to the general public is what is defined as true and right by the mass media. Ronald Reagan understood that the facts are not relevant. The media reported what he said as fact. Follow-up investigation was “old news.” A headline comment on Monday’s newspaper far outweighs the revelation of inaccuracy revealed in a small box inside the paper on Tuesday or Wednesday.[28]
Watson was explicit about what he perceived to be the lack of truthfulness in mass media: “If you do not know an answer, a fact, or a statistic, then simply follow the example of an American President and do as Ronald Reagan did—make it up on the spot and deliver the information confidently and without hesitation.”[29][30] In a subsequent book, Ocean Warrior, Watson expanded on this view, saying: “Survival in a media culture meant developing the skills to understand and manipulate media to achieve strategic objectives.”[31]
Controversy[link]
Separation from Greenpeace[link]
Paul Watson continued as a crewmember, officer, and skipper (in 1972) aboard several Greenpeace voyages throughout the mid-1970s. He considers himself a founding member of Greenpeace and Greenpeace International, a claim Greenpeace disputes. According to an influential member, “No one doubted [Watson's] courage for a moment. He was a great warrior-brother. Yet in terms of the Greenpeace gestalt, he seemed possessed by too powerful a drive, too unrelenting a desire to push himself front and center, shouldering everyone else aside.”[1]
In 1977, Watson was expelled from the Greenpeace's board of directors by a vote of 11 to 1[32][33] (Watson himself cast the single vote against it). The group felt his strong, "front and center" personality and frequently voiced opposition to Greenpeace's interpretation of "nonviolence" were too divisive.[34] Watson subsequently left the group. The group has since labeled his actions at the time as those of a "mutineer" within their ranks.[35][36] That same year, he founded his own group, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.[37]
During an interview in 1978 with CBC Radio, Watson spoke out against Greenpeace (as well as other organizations) and their role and motives for the anti-sealing campaigns.[38] Watson accused these organizations of campaigning against the Canadian seal hunt because it is an easy way to raise money and it is a profit maker for the organizations.[38]
Greenpeace has called Watson a violent extremist and will no longer comment on his activities.[39]
Charges and prosecutions[link]
Watson was sentenced to 10 days in prison and fined $8,000 for his actions during a Canadian seal hunt protest in 1980. He was convicted of assaulting a police officer. He was also found guilty under the Seal Protection Act for painting harp seal pups red and being on what is known as the "front".[40] Watson was arrested in 1993 in Canada on charges stemming from actions against Cuban and Spanish fishing boats off the coast of Newfoundland.[41] In 1997, Watson was convicted in absentia[42] and sentenced to serve 120 days in jail by a court in Lofoten, Norway on charges of attempting to sink the small scale Norwegian fishing and whaling vessel Nybrænna on December 26, 1992.[43][44] Dutch authorities refused to hand him over to Norwegian authorities although he did spend 80 days in detention in the Netherlands pending a ruling on extradition before being released.[43] In May 2012, Watson was detained by German authorities after he arrived at the Frankfurt Airport based on a request from the government of Costa Rica. The charge stemmed from an altercation in 2002 in which Sea Shepherd contends that the other vessel was shark finning in Guatemalen waters. Members of the other involved ship said that Sea Shepherd was trying to kill them.[45] Watson was charged with violating navigational regulations.[46] The conflict took place during filming for the documentarySharkwater. [47]
There have not been any successful attempts at prosecuting Watson for his activities with Sea Shepherd since the trial in Newfoundland. Watson himself defends his actions as falling within international law, in particular Sea Shepherd's right to enforce maritime regulations against illegal whalers and sealers.[48]
Watson was also told to leave Iceland after disabling two ships in harbor and turning himself in to the Icelandic police . Kristjan Loftsson of Iceland's largest whaling company told The New Yorker that Watson is persona non grata in that country.[1]
In April 2010, the Japanese Coast Guard obtained an arrest warrant for Watson "...on suspicion of ordering sabotage activities against Japan's whaling fleet",[49] and Interpol has listed him as wanted at the request of Japan. The blue notice asks national police forces to provide information on Watson's whereabouts and activities, but does not seek an arrest.[50]
Sierra Club immigration stance[link]
After his election to the national Sierra Club Board of Directors in 2003, Watson supported an unsuccessful slate of candidates supporting strict immigration controls as an element of a population stabilization policy. This effort was denounced by another candidate in the election, Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center, as a "hostile takeover" attempt by "radical anti-immigrant activists."[51] Watson responded by saying that the only change he was seeking in the organization's immigration stance was to restore the position it had held before its 1996 "neutrality policy."[52] Watson left the Sierra Club board in 2006.[53]
Anti-sealing activities[link]
Further information: Sea Shepherd Conservation Society operations and the annual Canadian seal hunt
In April 2008, Watson stated that, while the deaths of three Canadian seal hunters (a fourth one is still missing) in a marine accident involving a Canadian Coast Guard vessel and a fishing boat during the 2008 Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt were a tragedy, he felt that the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of seals is an even greater tragedy. Canadian Federal Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn accused Watson of trivializing the memory of the lost sealers.[54] Watson replied that Mr. Hearn was trying to distract attention from his government's incompetence as the boat the men were on capsized while under tow by a Canadian Coast Guard vessel, while his political ambitions continued to support and subsidize an industry that had no place in the 21st century.[55] Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams was quoted as saying, "I think what a lot of people don't realize is that this man is a terrorist."[56] Due to the operations against Canadian seal hunters, Danny Williams called Watson a terrorist and said that the Sea Shepherds were not welcome in the province.[57]
Australian visa issues[link]
In October 2009 Watson, who carries a US passport, complained to media outlets about having his request for an Australian visa denied. He states that the Australian government was attempting to sabotage the upcoming 2010 Sea Shepherd campaign by denying him entry into the country. Watson and several other shipmates were also unable to join the MV Steve Irwin on its promotional tour of Australia until they were able to provide documentation from the governments of the United States, Canada and Norway, exonerating them from previously claimed acts of violence, specifically claims by Sea Shepherd of intentionally sinking a ship in Norway.[58][59][60][61]
Anti-whaling activities and alleged shooting[link]
Further information: Sea Shepherd Conservation Society anti-whaling operations
On March 17, 2008 Paul Watson said that he was shot by the Japanese crew or coast guard personnel during the Operation Migaloo anti-whaling campaign in the Southern Ocean. The incident is documented during the season finale of season 1 of the Whale Wars TV reality show, and the first six episodes are covered as a buildup to what is portrayed as the major incident during the campaign. The footage in Whale Wars shows Watson standing on the deck of the Steve Irwin while Sea Shepherd crew throws glass bottles filled with butyric acid at the Nisshin Maru whaling vessel. Butyric acid was used for its foul odor and sticky properties.[62] The Japanese respond by throwing flashbang devices. Watson is then shown reaching inside his jacket and body armour and remarking "I've been hit." Back inside the bridge of the Steve Irwin, a metal fragment is found inside the vest.[63]
The Japanese Institute of Cetacean Research disputes Sea Shepherd's statements. The Institute and Coast Guard said that they used seven flashbang devices designed to flash and make noise in the air without causing harm.[64] Neither of the two conflicting accounts have been independently verified. The Australian Foreign Affairs Department had condemned "actions by crew members of any vessel that cause injury". Two media releases were made on the same day from the office. One said that the Australian Embassy in Tokyo had been informed by the Japanese that the whalers had "fired warning shots"[65] while the updated version used the phrase "'warning balls' – also known as 'flashbangs' – had been fired".[66]
Watson has been called an eco terrorist by the Japanese government for his direct action tactics against whalers, and have repeated their position after conflicts during the 2009–10 whaling season.[67][39]
Leadership style[link]
His leadership style has variously been called arrogant, as well as pushing himself too much "front and center", which was cited as being one of the reasons he was expelled from Greenpeace.[14] The atmosphere aboard his vessels has been compared to an "anarchy run by God".
The former member of Sea Shepherd and captain of the Ady Gil Pete Bethune described Watson as “morally bankrupt” who would order the intentional sinking of his own ships like the Ady Gil as a means to “garner sympathy with the public and to create better TV”. Watson denied this, "saying Bethune was bitter over his falling out with the organisation. 'No one ordered him to scuttle it. Pete Bethune was captain of the 'Ady Gil', all decisions on the 'Ady Gil' were his," Watson said. [68]
Attitudes about his activism[link]
At an animal rights convention in 2002, Paul Watson was also quoted as saying, "There's nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win. Then you write the history."[69] Recently, Fox News commentator Glenn Beck also discussed the comment, criticizing Watson's views.[70] Watson responded to Beck's comments on the official Sea Shepherd website by stating that he had said that but that it was taken out of context, quoting Gerald Seymour's "One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.”[71]
Watson has stated that he does not consider himself a 'protester', but an 'interventionist', as he considers protesting as too submissive.[72] He often takes the attitude that he represents (or stands in for) law enforcement which is either unwilling or unable to enforce existing laws.[14]
In popular culture[link]
A biographical documentary on Paul Watson's early life and background entitled Pirate for the Sea was produced by Ron Colby in 2008.[73][74][75] The 2009 documentary At the Edge of the World chronicled the efforts of Watson and 45 volunteers to hinder the Japanese whaling fleet in the waters around Antarctica.
Watson, Whale Wars, and the Japanese whaling industry were satirized in the South Park episode "Whale Whores". Watson himself was called "An unorganized incompetent media whore who thought lying to everyone was OK as long as it served his cause" and "A smug, narcoleptic liar with no credibility".[76][77][78] Watson responded to the South Park episode by stating; "My understanding is that the Japanese prime minister was not amused, and the whalers and dolphin killers are enraged at the way they were portrayed," Watson said. "That’s music to my ears. If the humorless whale killers and the bank-rollers of the dolphin killers did not like the show, then that’s all I need to applaud it."
