TH: Daniel Bryan, Bryan Danielson, American Dragon, Lloyd Boner. Whatever you call him, he's the best ever. I don't have a lot of absolute opinions, but that one is pretty set in stone. It sucks that he's in a company I stopped watching after half-a-year last year, but what I was able to catch, especially the match against Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania, was outstanding. I'm not sure anyone will ever have the command of the ring like he has ever again.
Adam Blount: How is Daniel Bryan still so good? Whatever the situation or opponent, singles or tag, heel or face, Bryan is incredible.
Nicholas Reed: Daniel Bryan's slow-burn journey from a bitter and vindictive Planet's Champion to slow acceptance of himself as the true people's champion he is has been one of the best stories the E managed to tell last year. As usual, DB takes whatever he's given and turns it to gold.
David Kincannon: this is completely subjective, obviously, but I believe that Daniel Bryan is the greatest wrestler ever. He’s not my favorite wrestler (although he’s near the top of the list), but whenever I watch him, I can’t help but marvel at the things he does in the ring. This isn’t about “movez”, or whatever. It’s about being a complete professional. It’s about carrying yourself with confidence. It’s about always being able to have one of the best matches on the card, no matter who the opponent is. That’s Daniel Bryan. He might try and tell you otherwise, but that’s because he’s a good, humble person. No one’s better. No one.
Rizz: Fuck you, Dave. He’s the American. Fucking. Dragon. His hard work and determination to get back to his A game is impeccable and after all that he had to endure with concussions and Brie Mode? He’s still at the top of his game and will be (hopefully) for some time.
