The only people who could ever imagine that this would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Austin, Rock, Flair, Sting, etc. are obese smarks who think that wrestling should be Cirque du Soleil and that wrestlers should constantly break the fourth wall and cry on each other's shoulders.
Bryan is better than all those guys in the ring except for Flair. You shouldn't get mad at wrestling fans who actually like wrestling and aren't just there to analyze ratings spreadsheets or mark out for big run ins and catchphrases.
>>16143070Bryan wouldn't be considered as good if it wasn't for the YES chant gimmick and that's a shoot brother
>>16143078He's had some of the best matches of his career in AEW where he never did the Yes chant
>>16142982Faggot crying about stupid shit thread #2,572,390I'm glad Bryan Danielson causes you such psychic pain
>>16143070Pre-injury Austin is debatable. And his mic work and charisma, while underrated, ain’t on those guys level.

>>16143112Yeah for sure, but Bryan's only real strength is his in-ring work which is the attribute people praise him for. He doesn't hold a candle to the others in terms of raw dimes drawn.
>>16143078>Austin wouldn't be considered as good if it wasn't for the beer and middle finger and that's a shoot brother>Rock wouldn't be considered as good if it wasn't for the catchphrases and opponent burials and that's a shoot brother>Flair wouldn't be considered as good if it wasn't for the crippling debt he left himself in by being a mark and living his gimmick and that's a shoot brother>Sting wouldn't be considered as good if it wasn't for how he ripped off a movie character and that's a shoot brotherSee how easy that is? People have been trying this shit for like over 10 years with Bryan. If the Yes chant alone is what was over then why didn't Big Show become an instant star when WWE tried taking it off Bryan and giving it to him? Or maybe Bryan was the reason the Yes chant got over
>>16142982post the clip
>>16143070Bryan's ring-work has been mediocre since his ROH peak, he moves slow as shit these daysAustin and Rock mog him
>>16142982
i liked wwe cryan to be fairhis stuff with kane was goodhe was funny in nxthe just got overpushed compared to his talent
>>16143070>except for flair Sting was pretty damn good too, probably better than the rock or austin in the ring.>>16142982Its aew, bryan is the best wrestler they are likely to ever have
>>16143070>>16143112>>16143251If you have charisma, people don't laugh at you when they see your picture on a billboard. Bryan actively drove people away from the show. He's cringe as fuck, and only cringy people like him.Compare him to people with actual charisma. Mick Foley obviously wasn't a cool pretty boy like Flair or Michaels or a ripped badass like Austin or Hogan, but he knew how to package what he had. He could be a movie monster or a teddy bear. He could be a savage or a poor misunderstood lovable freak who's still crazy enough that you wouldn't want to cross him. THAT is main event-level charisma.I don't believe that Chris Benoit should ever have moved past the level of "guy who the main event guy wrestles when he's not in the main event", but I'd even put his charisma above Bryan's. He looks scary, and that's something. I'm using this to point out just how lacking Bryan is in the charisma department. Maybe Bryan could have been a host for some reality TV show, but as a wrestler? Negative charisma as far as non-smarks are concerned.Honestly, the smarks probably helped sabotage his career by convincing him that he was the Austin of his generation. He was literally being called that for a while.
>>16143140He was single-handedly over enough to change the course of booking Wrestlemania. Danielson isn't just one of the few people who can say that: he's the ONLY person who can say it TWICE.>>16144907nash was raped btw
