For weeks now, Daniel Bryan has been on fire. Week in, week out, he's been kicking heads in, making fools tap out and just generally whooping the shit out of people. The crowds have also been on fire, regardless of the city, state or country - entire arenas have been up on their feet, chanting "Yes!" in unison.
All things considered, I think you owe Daniel Bryan an apology. You who doubted the value of this 'indie darling' to the WWE. You who said Daniel Bryan didn't have the charisma to be a success in the big leagues. Definitely you who claimed that Daniel Bryan could never get over as a 'serious' wrestler, as a submission specialist, as a man who kicked people's heads in. How you mocked those that claimed Bryan should be allowed to sell himself as a submission wrestler! How you picked on those that said his hard-hitting, chain-wrestling style wouldn't translate! How you belittled those that believed in what would happen if Bryan Danielson were let off the chain!
Daniel Bryan has been bending limbs, kicking fucking heads in and flying across the ring - and you know what? It's worked; worked big time. He is easily the most consistently over wrestler on the roster. In a time when even world champions struggle to inspire a stifled mouse fart from all but the most vocal wrestling fans, Daniel Bryan gets everybody in the audience up on their feet and chanting along.
Get down on your knees, clasp your hands together and plead for forgiveness, non-believers.
