Why do people love Daniel Bryan?

[Nate DaMac]

Well Chuck, thanks for nothing. Seriously, that is what you came up with? I'm glad he got you to care. You say that it is heresy..........maybe. However, when you have been to events and you have talked to many people and they all say the same thing.....I guess it is heresy. These people even acknowledge that they are losers. The mic skills you speak of..........seriously.........mic skills? The reaction you hear is called manufactured noise. You should know this. The guy gets no pop and no real reactions. You can say what you want about my post I am fine with that. However, don't say I'm not worth listening to. You came back with garbage yourself. Your words are a miss in reality. Do you go to events? The live crowd does not react like they show on tv. Let's get real.

Raw does not have canned pops/heat. If they did, Cena wouldn't get so many boos and there wouldn't be so many people who don't get even the slightest reaction. I don't really watch Smackdown, but I watch Raw. The pops are legit.

If Daniel Bryan had IT as people like to say, it wouldn't of taken 10 years to get there. I have no problem with people paying their dues. However, most don't pay their dues for 10 plus years. I give him credit for sticking with it. It paid off. He is living his dream. Realistically big stars don't pay dues for 10 years.

What? Hogan wrestled more than 10 years before he became a huge star. Austin did as well.

There was a time when the WWE only signs smaller talents if they have proven to be good workers. There's a ton of tiny Indy guys out there who have a long way to go before they're ready for the WWE. Guys like Punk, DB, and the KOW are guys that paid their dues and honed their craft in the Indys. They weren't blessed physically so they had to work for it.

The guys you see who didn't have to work for 10 years to get to the WWE are the guys who haven't been wrestling for very long. They didn't have to work through territories like back in the old days or work the Indys like in the late 90s early 2000s. They were signed based on their looks and if they did well in their developmental fed, they got the call. DB isn't one of the guys who necessarily had the look, so he had to earn the right by working his ass off in the Indys.

I understand TLK. I'm not against the size of people. There are plenty of smaller wrestlers that are great. Chris Jericho,Eddie Guerrero,Shawn Michaels,Bret Hart, and many others. Hell CM Punk is small too. It's not all about size. It's about everything they bring to the table. Bryan does not bring what those guys did and what those guys do. He brings in ring ability and nothing more. Keep drinking the Kool-aid.

I give him credit for sticking with it. It paid off. He is living his dream. Realistically big stars don't pay dues for 10 years.

CM Punk another one of the top guys in the company would have started wrestling around the mid 90s so took him ten years. You could even say the likes of Edge and Christian paid their dues for years as they both started in the early 90s were signed in around 97 and neither were major stars until at least 10 years after they'd started. Countless other examples but I'm pulling these examples out of my head. Another obvious one though is Jericho who despite being in WCW and ECW didn't really get his chance at being a top guy until easily 10 odd years into his career. Ten years is not that long a time to pay your dues. Bryan is 31 he is still young. Not many guys south of 30 are big guys in any wrestling company. The odd example is there I am aware but if you look at what could be considered the top 4 guys in both TNA and WWE they are all probably older than Bryan.

Bryan has wrestled around the world. There is wrestling outside the WWE and he was as big as they come in indie circles so to suggest that he took to long to get to the top is pure crap. And to suggest everyone is 'drinking the WWE Kool-aid' is to. Did you see the first season of NXT when he was getting buried but still getting the best reactions out of everyone? A lot of people were Bryan fans before he came to WWE. Him and Nigel McGuinness had one of the defining feuds of ROH history.

Plus I have never heard anyone say Raw has taped sound played in. That's near impossible to do, could you imagine how a crowd would react if they heard fake noise being pipped over them? They'd go mental. You can tell when the chants are real by looking at the crowd. Perfect example being SD recently where people have blatantly been chanting yes but WWE has lowered the volume on them and replaced it with boos.

It's not worth the effort anymore. As many others have pointed out, DB isn't the only star to pay his dues. You mention HBK - are you aware that DB was trained by HBK? HBK thinks he's legit, as do many others. You don't. Move on.

 

[TimeIsWasting]

Yeah Hogan and Austin wrestled for 10 years before they became huge stars. However, they were still in major organizations and they were still stars. Daniel Bryan was the star of what organization? ROH? Wow. They are not legit. Bryan was nothing at all before the WWE. Not many people knew about him at all. WWE made him a huge star. He earned it in the indy promotions, but didn't earn anything in the WWE. People still knew who hogan and austin were before they became mega superstars.

10 years??? He was HUGE in Japan and ROH! What are you 12 and just started watching wrestling?

As for why? Because he actually HAS TALENT. Unlike Cena and others who are all muscle, limited moves but got that big because they fit in VKM's vision of what a wrestler should look like.

It's actually refreshing to not see the cookie cutter VKM wrestler as champ minus boring Sheamus who's champ BECAUSE he's HHH BFF.

 

[InuJoshua]

I'm not a troll. It is how I feel. Uhh.......raw is live but they still use manufactured noise. Everybody knows that. They plan the segments. They are prepared for these situations.

You know what, you're right! When I was in the American Airlines Arena the day after Wrestlemania and every time the entire arena was filled with Yes! chants, it must have been WWE manufacturing the noise IN THE ARENA! They obviously manufactured DB's popularity when they forced his chant in during Rock's promo, Del Rio's return, during matches unrelated to DB and when Lesnar returned. Because they obviously want DB to be over than all of them.

They're so prepared that they even have the fake noise ready when the cameras stop rolling. You know, in case any of these smarks decide to record what happens after the show.

Even during his post match promo, those WWE pros just kept it going!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM5whEv8tFE&feature=youtu.be


They also hired hundreds of plants in the crowd to start chants inside and outside of the arena, at TNA shows and in home videos. Those crafty WWE production crew members.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsCzsqU4uTo&feature=youtu.be


People only like his promos because WWE did such a good job brainwashing them. Because before Yes! became a thing, he couldn't cut a promo worth a damn. Oh wait...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7YgKsJultY&feature=youtu.be


But that's just NXT. That doesn't count. Your thread has opened my eyes to how talentless Bryan really is. But you have to admit, that WWE production crew is good!

 

[Poop Master Flex]

When you're talented you're talented, simple as that.

It's easy to like Daniel Bryan because you will always know you are going to get a quality match out of him whether its against CM Punk, Sheamus or even Brodus Clay. The last 2 PPV's he has stole the show with his match against Punk and 2/3 falls with Sheamus and the guy keeps growing in the ring and as a competitor.

There aren't too many people who could bounce back like Bryan did after losing the World Title in 18 seconds at the biggest show of the year in the opening match up and it may have been the best thing that ever happened to the guy. Look at guys like Swagger, what has he done since his title run? Absolutely nothing. He has grown stagnant but not Daniel Bryan. He's not only a superior wrestler he is really starting to embrace the entertainment side of it as well. At this rate, Daniel Bryan could be a top guy in WWE for a long time to come and I have no doubt he is only gonna go up in the WWE. Don't be too shocked if he's the next WWE champion as outside of Big Johnny and maybe Jericho, Daniel Bryan has become the best heel WWE currently has.

Since his heel turn Bryan has continued to impress on a consistent basis, if he keeps the momentum going there's no telling how high up he can go.

Lastly, the reason I like Daniel Bryan so much is unlike most of the roster Daniel Bryan has took full advantage of his opportunities and not constantly squander them like Swagger, Ziggler and a ton of other wrestlers.

 

[TimeIsWasting]

They don't use manufactured noise in the arena. They do it in production. They know when the segments are going to happen. It is all fake. It is planned out. I have been to many events and when I get home and watch the show there is always chants and different sounds that did not happen at the arena. As far as the Cena noise, that is just the wwe playing to both sides that like and dislike him. HBK trained Bryan and HBK think Bryan is legit. He is under contract with the wwe and he will put over anybody for a paycheck.

 

[Ryberg]

CM Punk another one of the top guys in the company would have started wrestling around the mid 90s so took him ten years.

Punk, Nigel McGuinness, and Bryan were awesome in ROH! Damn shame that life bitch slapped Nigel McGuinness. I would have loved to have seen him in WWE.

As for the piping hell yeah like all the Let's Go Cena that goes on every Monday night. Always the same annoying female voice the loudest. The Yes chants are totally real and though I am a Punk fan I'd LOVE to see DB walk out the champ.

I am so sick and tired of the stereotypical Cena/HHH/Batisita style champ. Though with the way the WWE writers are going who the hell knows what's down the road. I smell Freddy Prinze the new WWE Champ on the horizon lol

 

[TimeIsWasting]

They had to turn him heel. He couldn't be a face. He wasn't over at all. It is easy to be a heel. Just simply say shit that pisses people off. Being a face takes a little more of a connection with the crowd. It takes work to be a face and deliver all the time. You have to have a personality. You can screw up as a heel and still be your part. Just look at Batista.

 

[Coco]

I have been to many events and when I get home and watch the show there is always chants and different sounds that did not happen at the arena.

It never ceases to amaze me how few people understand the acoustic dynamics of being in a large crowd. For all intents and purposes, your experience is largely defined by the people sitting around you in your section and the surrounding ones. Not every sound you hear in your section is going to make it to television and not every sound that gets picked up on television is one you'll have heard. This is the nature of the beast and your inability to see it is yet another way that your opinion on this matter (Daniel Bryan) doesn't take into account the facts.

 

[TimeIsWasting]

You all keep harping on the stereotypical champ stuff. Simply put I don't care about Bryans size. I care about everything else he doesn't do. Several wrestlers that have held the strap are not stereotypical champions. Eddie Guerrero,Chris Benoit,Chris Jericho,Rey Mysterio,CM Punk,Shawn Michaels. Those guys are all stereotypical Champions I guess. I can name some others, but whats the point. You all cheer for your loser that you have deemed your new wrestling god.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah Hogan and Austin wrestled for 10 years before they became huge stars. However, they were still in major organizations and they were still stars. Daniel Bryan was the star of what organization? ROH? Wow. They are not legit. Bryan was nothing at all before the WWE.

Ugh. They were second and third tier organizations, just like ROH is. Daniel Bryan was a world renown wrestler before he got to the WWE. He wouldn't have made it to the WWE if he wasn't great, he had no other redeeming qualities.

Not many people knew about him at all. WWE made him a huge star. He earned it in the indy promotions, but didn't earn anything in the WWE. People still knew who hogan and austin were before they became mega superstars.

I fail to see how this is relevant. People knew who DB was before he was a star. You probably didn't, but that's hardly an indictment on the rest of the wrestling community.

They don't use manufactured noise in the arena. They do it in production. They know when the segments are going to happen. It is all fake. It is planned out. I have been to many events and when I get home and watch the show there is always chants and different sounds that did not happen at the arena. As far as the Cena noise, that is just the wwe playing to both sides that like and dislike him. HBK trained Bryan and HBK think Bryan is legit. He is under contract with the wwe and he will put over anybody for a paycheck.

They do NOT use manufactured noise on Raw. Period. Seriously, listen to the difference between the crowds on Raw and Smackdown. On Smackdown, all of the heels get booed and all of the faces get pops. On Raw, the people who aren't over get zero reaction, Cena gets a mixed reaction most of the time, and DB gets a fairly mixed reaction as well. If they were really manufacturing the crowd noise, why wouldn't they make it seem like he was getting crazy amounts of heat instead of letting in audible cheers?

Jesus.

 

[TimeIsWasting]

Sure you are right about not hearing everything on tv and hearing things at the arena. However, when these chants are ridiculously loud on tv........how can I not hear them at the arena. Your logic is flawed. I guess the shows I've been to people just decided not to scream at the top of their lungs YES. I missed out on the amazing YES chants that I couldn't hear.......lol. I heard YES chants but they are not as over the top as they portray on tv.

 

[MCMG]

At first i wan't a big fan of Bryan. Thought he was overhyped and overrated. When he first broke into the main-event i was annoyed. This was the MITB win which i thought should have gone to someone else. What especially annoyed me was the fact that he was heel. There are so many heels in the WWE and he didn't need to be one. He could have gotten over as a face but they made him heel and i was skeptical.

I was glad when Sheamus beat him at 'mania yet this match was the turning point as it was the start of the "yes" chants. This actually made me start to like him and i feel that his feud with Punk may help him grow on me a bit more. In the long run i would like him to turn face but this could be a long away.

 

[TimeIsWasting]

So NWA/WCW was second tier? New Japan Wrestling is second tier? Why cause New Japan Wrestling isn't in our market? You have no idea what you are talking about. I knew who Daniel Bryan was before he got to the WWE and it was the same thing. He's a great wrestler and nothing more. You know nothing of wrestling history at all. You obviously don't know anything about what NWA/WCW or New Japan Wrestling was about. I could throw in ECW, but there really were a low tier company. AWA could also be considered, because at the time it was still competing.

 

[crippler]

Well 1st of all its he is a great wrestler which is why so many like him and then the other is a reason why so many like CM punk cuz he is not a Vince McMahon made wrestler.

 

[crswcw]

I like daniel bryan as a entertainer he is an great wrestler and can tell a great story in the ring but some people need to understand that there are some people that have the freedom to do things in the ring that others can not do because they are told it not in their gimmick to do those moveset.

Now I do not respect Bryan Danielson as a person because he was the same guy after his matches at ring of honor shows was bashing wwe left and right then all of a sudden he mr sports entertainment

 

[Workrate]

This is a definite troll thread. I mean, what was the point of asking people why they like someone if you're then going to argue down all of the answers? That'd be like if I said, "I don't like eggs, but I do like ham, why do you like eggs?" and then after you replied I said "well that's just stupid and you're wrong."

You don't like Daniel Bryan. That's cool. I don't like Randy Orton. I'm not going to go around asking people who do like him why and then tell them how wrong they are. Come on now.

 

[remyx]

Daniel Bryan is awesome on the mic. He really is. He was in the indys and he is now. Ever since he started his feud with Michael Cole in NXT, whenever he has been given a chance to be heard he has used it well.

Hell on NXT he was never allowed to win, he got fired for some stupid fucking bullshit.. he came back had a nice little run with the US title and then got jobbed out for months seemingly going nowhere... AND STILL he's on top of the world fighting for the WWE championship DESPITE being made to look like shit with an 18 second loss.

And also, despite however many people know who he is going into a match, no matter how many people there are in the arena that may or may not care about said match prior.. through his ability to tell a story alone he gets EVERYONE into his match, even if its not for anything. People can invest in him because he's awesome... the fact he's brilliant on the mic is just icing on the cake!

daniel bryan was a huge star in new japan you idiot. He did more tours with them than probably any other american wrestler in the past 10 years.

WWF was the biggest organization at the time. It's fucking math, dude. Not a matter of my opinion.

Yes, they were much bigger than ROH has ever been. ROH is still a recognized worldwide as a wrestling company that has provided us with a lot of big time talent. Fuck man, you're making me defend ROH. Ugh.

 

[TimeIsWasting]

You are entitled to your opinion workrate. I just don't understand where you all are coming from. You reasons don't make sense to me. Sure people like him because of his wrestling, but you can't tell me that he is good on the mic and that he is an interesting character. Plus, no matter what anybody says the YES chant is stupid. Fans don't even know why they are chanting it. It reminds me of another really dumb chant. What? What? What? What? If you do think he is good on the mic and that he is an interesting character then it just shows once again how stupid wrestling fans are. I asked a question then I get blasted for it. I'm just supposed to say nothing? So I'm a troll?

The live crowd does not react like they show on tv. Let's get real.

I go to events went been to a few Raws and Smackdowns and PPV. I will totally disagree with you the Reaction Bryan gets is real. Very Real.
WWE wouldnt have wasted the time on him if it wasnt for the reactions.

Bryan's title reign wasnt meant to be as long as it was. But he got so good at getting his Mic work up that he kept himself way over, and they had no choice but to push him. The Heel turn for him = GOLD and WWE knows it thats why this thread even exists.

And think of this He only got bigger after the 18sec victory. He is at the top of the WWE in inring ability. and promo wise he is one of the guys at the top right now. Id you dont agree cool but other than Jericho, Punk, Cena and Santino (YES SANTINO) who is better at promos than Bryan?

He does lack size ok... but his ability in the ring makes up for that.
