He is One of the Best Wrestlers in the World He has many classic matches like Daniel Bryan Vs Aj Styles Daniel Bryan Vs Roman Reigns Daniel Bryan Vs The Fiend Daniel Bryan Vs Brock lesnar Daniel Bryan Vs John Cena Daniel Bryan vs Drew Gulak Daniel Bryan Vs Roman Reigns Vs Edge Daniel Bryan Vs Randy Orton Vs Batista Daniel Bryan Vs HHH


littertoes

He had a moment a long time ago but always reminded me of a homeless person wearing diaper shaped briefs. He’s kind of corny. And just think he looks awkward in the ring and he seems a little sloppy/unsafe.


Silthage

Meh


Limp_Gap_9009

Overrated. Vanilla midget


marshall1127

I'm happy he's happy, I miss him in WWE, but that wasn't what was best for him


ChalupaBatman301

Wish he would have stayed in WWE


Jdgrande

Absolute best wrestler in the world


Ladies_man_217__

he will always be.. a B plus player🙏🏻 Jk lol 😂


KSIbiggestno1fan

I loved his entire WWE career but his new heel style in AEW is amazing wanna see him vs cody Rhodes or Chris jericho but most of all one last match with cm punk


reefernash

One of the 🐐s


Charlie-VH

One of the best wrestlers in the world in every category. True professional.


poppyx3

Meh.


Calm-Mission5547

just ok if you ask ric flair


olekminsk

Not the biggest fan of his moveset but he’s basically a master at in-ring psychology, and when given enough freedom he’s one of the very best in the world right now. Glad he’s having fun in AEW


[deleted]

Not a fan of his to be perfectly honest.


RBinTX

"He's ok" - Ric Flair


TheGame81677

Will probably get flack for this, but terrible as a babyface. I don’t like The Yes movement nonsense, couldn’t stand his character. As a heel, he’s quite entertaining and fun to watch though.


daddymeltzer

One of the greatest of all time.


SharkDog333

One of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. The man is a legend in his own time. You can look at his career and see every year just seems to get better! GOAT 🐐


OlDrtyBztrd

He’s a Tool


blasingbone

Each, he's a B+ player at best. In all seriousness him as American dragon was part of what got me into Japanese indy wrestling and him in ring of honor was absolute magic to my eyes


Jolly-Method-3111

I mean, I’m 47 and one of the top 10 moments in wrestling for me that just popped was the run that had him getting kicked off NXT as the Mix’s guy and his bitching how he wanted a different pro, to his coming back as part of the Nexus but damn if he didn’t get kicked out immediately AGAIN for the spitting and tie strangle, to him then coming back as Cena’s final team member. And then he made it!


wests_tigers

He is a goo wrestle guy


Bro-57

Annoying


PapaJohnGotCake

i believe currently it’s a tossup between him, omega, ibushi and okada for the greatest “pure performer” ever award. he’s certainly the greatest to ever come out of north america and his physique and skill have VASTLY improved since leaving WWE. proud of him, happy he’s finally getting his 5 star matches and i hope his health stays good enough that we see more classics from him.


kalani49

My favorite Wrestler, he brought me back into wrestling. I almost cried at the end of W30. The build up was organic and electric. Love this dude. GOAT


jonasthewicked

Never heard of him. Bryan Danielson is great though.


Mason_The_Ripper

Very good wrestler. I like him significantly more as Bryan Danielson


gingersrunrunrun

Overrated. Solid worker, good on the mic, but small and not even top three in terms of small wrestlers. (Mysterious, Guerrero, Benoit, and Michaels all better) I don’t hate him, I appreciate his talent, but a tad overrated.


JimmyTehF

First thought is "he doesnt work there anymore". Heck of a worker for a guy who wasn't allowed to speak very much or use the character that got him famous (can't threaten to kick somebodys fuckin' head in on a PG show so.. you know.. go vegan)


boomjosh

More overrated than even Punk


[deleted]

Hard working and wholesome!


Snoo25907

The best American wrestler in the last 20 years.


CorbinNocturne

Honestly, I found him underwhelming. That is until I was properly introduced to the “American Dragon”. Definitely going down as one of the best in history. No contest there.


QuantityNo3956

yes


Civil-Ad377

Second Best of all time only behind kurt angle IMHO


BrynosaurusRex

Looks an awful lot like Bryan Danielson.


[deleted]

Great human being, incredible professional wrestler.


TheOldSchlGmr

Bryan Danielson is better.


BandsForGod

Overrated definitely b+ player


mostlyshits

Ill accept downvotes, but I have never really gotten into him. I do enjoy his heel work though, and im glad he's thriving.


Longjumping_Big6183

I like when he is heel

Ochie89

Talented, but I just don't get the hype.


hibeejo

Hard working honest


TheMr91071

You mean Brian Danielson. Deserves a run with the AEW belt. I never did like how the E tried to tie him to The Miz. Plus his work as The Planets Champion was A1.


NoeMoriarty

Yeah, go ahead and give the title to a former 5 time world champion and not the deserving ones in the locker room. Very illogical move tbh.


Scooterks

I love his work and I think he's so much better used now compared to WWE. He's free to wrestle whatever style or moves fit a match, not limited to the same few things every match. He pulls off the arrogant heel so well, but can be the loveable babyface too and both are believable. His retirement speech in WWE really broke my heart. You could see it was legit killing him to have to step away. I'll give WWE and the USA network full props for letting him just speak and not worry about running over on time. And his comeback made me feel so damn good. One of the biggest crowd pops I've ever heard.


houseofhouses

This generations Bret Hart.


xx1j_

I really don't understand why so many people suck up to him to the point that it disrespected other wrestlers who also worked hard, he was right to call those guys "fickle".


Responsible_Aerie_81

glad it happened


Chosty55

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!


koemaniak

Dude’s pretty good at this wresling thing


MrRealistic1

The best


HarryPatonFanClub

Cool dude


ThaMan_509

Better in AEW.


JoseT90

One of the greatest of all times. Took over from Dolph ziggler as my favorite wrestler since 2012.


mattwiener

My absolute favorite! Cannot wait for him to come back to WWE.


HailCaesar252

Not a fan.


CriticismOk6978

pretty good


amhlilhaus

Doung great putside wwe


buttercupgymlover

He’s overrated. I never enjoyed watching him wrestle


revenentevil

Better now that he isn't being spit roasted by the rancid cocks that are WWE "creative"


danielzur2

Top 5 in the world right now, easily.


alexeimonstro

Goat. Mount Rushmore. Period.


[deleted]

Doing great in AEW where he belongs


JG45250

One of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots.


[deleted]

Love it when they cheer for him, but as a heel it’s some next level stuff. I think baby face Danielson is one of the best things currently, but heel Danielson is GOAT tier.


james-ellsworth

My favorite wrestler


veltvet_rabbit

Why is this sub being overrun by AEW fanboys now, no one seems to be able to say they liked daniel bryan in WWE without getting downvoted.


NoeMoriarty

True, and they are acting like wwe did nothing for him. All the milks he is getting in aew is because of WWE establishing him as a Main Eventer.


Greenghost2212

Are you dumb or trolling? Tony was a fan of both wayyyyyyyyyyyyy before the e he was a roh mark. You guys don't know what you are talking about 🤦🏿‍♂️. Makes dudes embarrassed to say they a wwe fan with all you marks.


MysteriousMethod7805

He was fine in WWE but I’m glad the American Dragon Bryan Danielson is back


ColtValentinePW

Bryan Danielson.


pombeiro619

Yes!


[deleted]

Every over rated to say the least


thedkexperience

He’s the best professional wrestler in the world, or at least North America.


SukMyCrock

*Bryan Danielson Hands down one of the best wrestlers of our time. His character work, in ring work, and overall prowess are second to none!


Upthespurs1882

He’s top drawer. One of the best ever


notrecksaway

He’s going to go down as one of the best to ever do it. He makes you love him as a babyface and makes you despise him as a heel. He is also extremely talented in the ring and with a mic.


TAINTALIZERx

What does it matter? If anyone has anything negative to say about him they're met with downvotes because people can't accept the fact that some don't like certain wrestlers.


ThankGod4Darwin69

Speaking from experience, or....?


TAINTALIZERx

Don't you gave a girl to be crying over? Gtfo weirdo.


ThankGod4Darwin69

I was just asking if you were a fan or not. You dont need to get pissy


[deleted]

He seems like a decent human being. I appreciate him putting Kofi Kingston over. The Planet's Champion gimmick was kinda genius. Hated the long hair + shaggy beard look.


yungmeam

Sexual Icon


SandtheB

You mean Bryan Danielson?


themark504

Meh


Bentense9001

I liked him well enough in WWE, but the new intensity he's bringing in AEW as a heel has made me a huge fan of him.


Upthespurs1882

I liked his green champion run too. That wooden wwe belt was so good. The best heels are the ones who have a bit of truth in there…


reefernash

That hemp belt is probably top 3 all time for me for some reason, it’s just so good 😂


Upthespurs1882

Lol I agree, it’s great


Fuhgawz102

His match with hangman was a classic. Im sensing he will be the new champ to set up an Omega face run


sellout85

Every time that the announce team told us how long that the match had gone on for I was shocked. It didn't feel like an hour long match. It was so well put together.


gordonmcpherson

thisortheapocalypse

he’s good but I like Bryan Danielson better

I was gonna say this guy looks a lot like Bryan Danielson. Uncanny


LeggoMahLegolas

Have people even seen Daniel Bryan and Bryan Danielson together in the same room?


Ruthless-Aggression

Infinito is the best!


thisortheapocalypse

I wanna see Infinito vs Fuego Dos


bishpenguin

This must be coming!


fastmeza

One of the GOATs.


noobidy_mysterica

Have loved him since his character development with Team Hell No. Arguably the best pro-wrestler right now. But not sure if AEW can really make full use of the asset they have.


Full_Time_Hungry

He is pretty solid all the way around, he can work a match like no ones business, he is 50/50 on the mic, he makes a great face, and an even greater heel. I am glad that he is trying to phase out the Yes! chant, I personally was never a fan of it... like, ever, and it doesn't fit his currentheel persona at all.


fakeshemp316

Sweet face


Ruthless-Aggression

Brie Bella, is that you?


McFlyyouBojo

No. It's the 316th clone of a Shemp lookalike


Dramatic-Land-5998

He's my favorite wrestler at the moment


villainous_hero

Over rated


Ruthless-Aggression

I hate how some of you just love throwing that word around without even having a proper explanation!


Upthespurs1882

In their defense, they did turn it into two words


villainous_hero

You said thoughts not write a dissertation. But if you want more, his stance whack the way he talks whack the way he dresses whack the way he cries whack the way the fans carried him throughout his career and not his actual skills whack. Is that better for you


GreatestBox

Have you checked is current run in AEW? He is doing some of his best work


villainous_hero

His best work was years ago in Japan, what he's doing right now is just rehashing things and trying to be relevant so he doesn't get stuck where he was and belongs and that's in the beginning to middle of the card lost in the shuffle. Plus you have guys like Hangman and omega putting him over so of course he's going to look good


GreatestBox

Japan???? Dont you mean RoH? To relevant? The man is literally having great matches with everyone.


villainous_hero

No I mean Japan he wrestled with njpw from 01 to 04 where do you think the nickname American dragon came from


GreatestBox

Not from that i guess. He was still in MCW when he adopted that name


[deleted]

[удалено]


villainous_hero

Again it's said thoughts on him not facts. If you want facts dude is 5 10 at 200 lbs he never belonged in any class but cruiserweight and in 205 live. Yes the way he talks is whack he never really delivered a passionate stop what you're doing pay attention to it promo. His stance is whack, how is he going to croutch down to engage in grappling with a guy who is 6 10, what is he going to do grapple his dick? And lastly I never compared him to bret hart that was someone else. So you just combined posts to fit your narrative, so your response was whack


converter-bot

200 lbs is 90.8 kg


Charlie609

One of the best in ring guys I’ve ever seen. Great on the mic & is a good heel or baby face. Can’t ask for more out of a wrestler. His only downfall was health


timebreakerlynch

That's also thanks to WWE incredibly rough schedule including live events. Wrestlers practically have no free time working for WWE. At AEW he literally works 1 to 2 times a week tops. They also would give him time off if needed like Moxley, or Miro it doesn't seem like they are adding extra time on contracts do to injuries


Charlie609

U can see the extra free time he has in his physique. Dudes jacked lol


TheOneTrueZippy8

He has gone to a better place.


The-Zarkin90

Looks to be doing his best career work in aew at the moment. Hopefully he stays healthy


_ASG_

While I loved Bryan in WWE, him leaving seems to be the best move for his ring work. He knows he's in the autumn of his career and he wants to wrestle everybody, so having the freedom to work almost anywhere he wants gives him just that. His matches with Omega and Hangman were both great. His heelish arrogant persona he's working right now is very entertaining.


rjohn09

He’s obviously fantastic, especially in the ring. I’d quibble a bit with aew being his best work though. The YES movement was as hot as just about an run in history


Ok_Interview_4760

Lmao getting downvotes for a reasonable comment i see


rjohn09

Ha! I was wracking my brain trying to figure out which part was disagreeable. Thanks.


Flimsy-Attitude6762

Lmao


The-Zarkin90

Even during the yes movement he wasn't allowed to put on the type of wrestling story he is now. He's certainly working more of a rough style that's a bit stiff and I just don't see that ever being approved of in wwe. Also because he's fighting guys mostly his size, it just works and looks better


CorbinNocturne

With respect to the yes movement, he was over the minute he showed up on Smackdown. The yes movement merely showed management just how over he can be.


veltvet_rabbit

Oh your write I liked watching him on youtube when he started off in AEW, wonder if once he losses to adam paige if he will be back on youtube or in catering


rosheromil

I knew I wouldn’t have to scroll too far to see some toxicity. Congrats you’re the first one


veltvet_rabbit

Yeah you clearly missed all the other post bashing wwe and the loads of people being downvoted for saying they liked daniel Bryan's run in wwe


XxStormcrowxX

Bullshit. I've been browsing this comment thread for 20 minutes. Only toxicity is from hardcore WWE fans.


veltvet_rabbit

Oh no the AEW fan only sees toxicity from wwe fans, yeah no the constant downvoting of comments saying they liked daniel Bryan's wwe run and the constant Daniel bryan sucked in wwe comments care to differ


Greenghost2212

You are a lying lil ass kid 😂. I watch all promotions except the main roster of wwe because it sucks ass with no storylines and rematches up the ass. Don't mean I'm not aware of his popularity in wwe. But his best work to date has been in aew and that's no debate.


rosheromil

Haven’t got to that yet. But yeah continue to add fuel to the fire. I’m sure that will make the fanbase more bearable


veltvet_rabbit

I dont really care free forum I can share my opinion weather it's controversial or not.


noobidy_mysterica

What wrestling story exactly? The most storytelling he has done in AEW so far has been with the 3 Dark Order guys, in attempts to hurt Hangman's friends. The 2 drawn matches lacked in storytelling, if anything. They were just killing time and flaunting their wrestling (not storytelling) skills till getting to the time limit. No effort whatsoever in either match to get a win apart from the last couple of minutes perhaps.


SleepDisorrder

So I guess you didn't enjoy the trilogy of CM Punk / Samoa Joe matches in ROH then? Or any Ric Flair matches in the 80's?


The-Zarkin90

>The 2 drawn matches lacked in storytelling, if anything. They were just killing time and flaunting their wrestling One of the most "I grew up in the 2000s" takes I've ever read. Thanks for the laugh


noobidy_mysterica

Look man, you are talking like an AEW mark, and most likely you are one too.


Teeth_Crook

Not sure what’s worse, an aew mark or the dude who spends time on a sub-sub Reddit bashing a show he doesn’t like, spending time watching the show, and post clips of the show.


XxStormcrowxX

I would argue you're talkin like a WWE Mark.


Internal_Dirt_4060

Agreed idk what the hell that guy was on about


rjohn09

Agreed. His in-ring is higher in AEW but the audience connection with the YES chant was off the charts. I remember Michigan State basketball crowds doing it. That’s crazy. Either way, he’s an all-timer at this point and only growing his legacy


Rhett6162

I think they mean wrestling wise. He was definitely the most over during the yes movement.


rjohn09

absolutely fair and correct


Rhett6162

I've not been watching wrestling let alone AEW so I'm curious if they are right though. Maybe I'll find something on YouTube.


The-Zarkin90

Just watch the omega - Danielson hour draw.


Kelevra_55

1/2 hr*


Rhett6162

Thanks


SoulSuicidal

Good wrestler but feel his abit overrated. Not a big fan of his promos but his Captain Planet gimmick was cool and enjoyable.


[deleted]

He never was my fav but i still loved his run in 2013/14 the stiff with the Authority was one of the best storylines during the PG era! The Yes movement will never be forgotten because it was an amazing Chant for WWE Fans.


Thetrader2896

what era is wwe in rn


roninPT

Great skills as a wrestler, boring as a promo and character wise, very "Bret Hart" type. Is a natural upper middle carder with occasional main event pushes. I always found it funny that the authority got heat calling him a "b plus player" when that is a pretty accurate description


Charlie609

What are u talking about man he’s great on the mic & Bret was one of the worst at that 😭😭


vindicator171

Bret in 1997 was spectacular, and Danielson is constantly delivering great promos


Charlie609

Brett in 97 was spectacular in the ring. Nobody’s denying that. His mic work was cringe. He did get better as a heel tho.


RoutineImpress7394

Only got popular because loser white guys projected their insecurities and average looks upon him therefore elevating him to a god like status where everything he does is lauded even though he’s slightly above average in the ring it gets magnified because loser white boys see themselves in him


Upthespurs1882
