Daniel Bryan...

[Alfred0Santana]

I'm blowed right now and I been wanting to make this thread for a min and I finally got the energy to.


First off, no disrespect for Daniel Bryan because pre WWE I'm ignorant to everything else he has done and I get it...he's a God to the people who watch the indies. This is a WWE discussion. When he was in the WWE...to me, I never was a fan. The best Daniel Bryan I saw was the heel Daniel Bryan with AJ when he was WHC. I thought his work than was great. This is more about the face Daniel Bryan everyone was begging to go over at WM XXX.


That dude never connected with me. I seen people comparing dude to Stone Cold at the time and i was like . I never felt that connection at all and I'm not even a Austin fan like that. It felt so forced to me. Ring work...Maybe the WWE had him tone his stuff down but I never got that feeling from watching his matches that I'm like "damn I'm watching a great at work right now" as I did with maybe a HBK or Angle, etc in their prime. The "yes" chant got played out. Mic work...nothing special in my opinion but he was good at telling a story. Loved the match with him and HHH at WM30 btw.


I just don't see the hype in dude that I see a lot of ppl speak of on here. Unfortunate how shyt played out but i don't miss him.

Your being a contrarion the energy the fans added to the matches you can tell it was something special

U praised Kurt Angle in the ring as if he was better. I think that says about as much as I need to know about u think good wrestling is.

There's always gonna be a few people who feel like you feel, but you can't deny that rise was organic and he had the people behind him. He was never forced on the audience, the audience wanted him in that spot. Son was the textbook definition of over and even more important dude could flat out go in that ring.

Who compared Daniel Bryan to Stone Cold?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Well, that's too bad you didn't connect with him, because that day at WM XXX nobody else did

Who compared Daniel Bryan to Stone Cold?

Compare a legit GOAT to a "legend", brehs.

Oh, and one star/possible neg to OP.

dude ain't obligated to be a fan of bryan...the fukk

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

hated him as a babyface, his promos were dogshyt. never said anything, always leaned heavily on the crowd to prop him up.

but he was still fun to watch in the ring.

 

[R=G]

Something we all say about Shawn Michaels every day but someone is always crying and whining..every fukking week. ALWAYS.

There is some balance needed. Maybe Bryan could've been the GOAT, but he wasn't because his career was cut short largely because he didn't have a very good brain for picking spots to do every night of the week that wouldn't leave him in a wheelchair by the age of 40.

I enjoyed most of what he did, he just shouldn't be in a GOAT conversation.
