Over the years, I've grown to love his personality, however. In fact, it was his non-wrestling performances that really won me over. I look at some of the sheer ballsiness and devil-may-care attitude that he displayed on Talking Smack and think, "Man, it must be so freeing to not give a single fuck about your job." He was getting paid to run down angles on RAW and make light of WWE's failures. On top of that, he was for a long time the best character on Total Divas. Bryan's behavior on that show only further endeared him to me, and that's why he ranks as highly as he does. However, I can't really say that a particular Daniel Bryan match really stands out in my mind as one of my favorites. Sure, the moment of him winning at Mania is legendary now, but in all honesty, I was coming back into wrestling right around that time; I didn't really participate in that Daniel Bryan fellowship that inundated so much of the WWE fandom of the time. I came back in and he was almost immediately injured, followed by another injury later. But having gone back and learned about his past (watching ROH matches), I've really begun to like the man as a wrestler. Still, I have a little teensy part of me that doesn't particularly care about Bryan. That said, WWE has booked him brilliantly since his return. I know that sounds odd, but if you can't strap a title to him, just keep the guy over. It's Randy Savage booking, essentially. So all of that combines together and creates a ranking just shy of the Top 40. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:904063570] in Scarlet Ra...
