Richie Freebird Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Have I missed any? Â Being forced to be super over with the biggest and most distributed wrestling product word wide without denting the reputation of being a highly skilled technician between the ropes which he spent years building up with hard work in the independent scenes all over the world, not to mention in some of the big promotions in Japan.

LariatTom Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Daniel Bryan has become one of the top all-round entertainers and performers in WWE. Danielson was a fantastic wrestler, but he lacked something. Now after some time polishing his skills and developing a character outside of being a great wrestler, he's become one of the top dogs.

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted July 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Bryan Danielson was great for the level he was at then, Daniel Bryan is great for the level he's at now. I've never not loved the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Daniel Bryan is the finished and polished package. I don't see how it can be Bryan Danielson. I'll try and explain this one, even though I actually voted Daniel Bryan. Â Bryan Danielson was the absolute best that an independent wrestler could be. Capable of delivering a quality match, able to perform as either face or heel with multiple facets to either persona, had recognisable signature moves, spots and catchphrases and had flippin' classic entrance music to boot that some people still associate with him now. Â Daniel Bryan has been absolutely brilliant since his WWE debut, but I'd say he only really works properly as a heel following the MITB cash-in. Sure, if they turned him in a couple of weeks he'd be perfectly functional (and maybe the YES! would work in his favour) but he wouldn't be anywhere near as good as he was a heel. Additionally, although he's outperformed himself and beaten everyone's expectations, he'll never be the top guy in his chosen field - that being the WWE. Â So I can completely understand how seven or eight people, being massive fans of indie wrestling and perhaps, speculatively, less interested by WWE, would vote Bryan Danielson. Â Even if it's the wrong answer. Â EDIT: posted all that but failed to notice that opcws basically summed it up in one sentence a couple of hours ago. D'oh.

GalaxyV.2 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I still can't believe how over he is. I always enjoyed him, but feared he would be buried in WWE. Instead he's all over the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone told me eight years ago that Raw's 1000th episode would feature Bryan Danielson in consecutive segments with Vince McMahon and The Rock, one of which was a wedding segment, then close with CM Punk turning heel with the WWE Championship, I'd have called them delusional. It's like we all slipped into an alternate universe a couple of years ago and nobody noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different than a band...for example 'Nickelback' or 'Fall Out Boy' breaking through and getting more well known and popular worldwide, their 'fans' who have seen them rise to stardom are always going to remember and rave about the 'good old days' - I prefer American Dragon and loved the stuff he did in the UK for All Star but at the end of the day wrestlers, as with bands, start out to make the 'big time' one day, a natural progression of life, both Danielson persona's are great in their own right.

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted July 26, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 Nielsen households noticed. Â Fair point. One can only hope they'll find Punk more palatable as someone they're supposed to dislike. It should work better than smarmy babyface, at the very least.

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Has to be Daniel Bryan, simply because Bryan Danielson was a great wrestler but Daniel Bryan is a great wrestler and has a great, extremely over persona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
