Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan has tasted the highest highs and the lowest lows of the industry

 

Full of passion and skill, lovable and relatable, but tiny compared to Vinnie Mac’s favourite type of wrestler (big). He had a goat beard, underwhelming ring gear, and was seemingly in need of anger management...but D-Bry proved Vince and all the naysayers wrong when The YES Movement hit a monumental stride that launched him into the stratosphere.

If Bryan hadn’t been plagued by injuries who knows where he could be today. Personally, I think Vince was a little happy that Daniel would be out of his hair following his forced retirement.

Just look at his face at Danny’s farewell episode. He was beaming with joy, although probably not as much joy as when he watched how much money Bryan brought into the company.
