Daniel Bryan as WWE Champion ?

Better shape in terms of what?

John Cena is a lot more weared out than Daniel Bryan, if that makes sense.

Ahh, that's debatable. DB started wrestling right after h.s. in 99, cena didn't start until 2000. They both are in amazing shape imo.

That's not the point though, with Cena being the poster boy for about 7 years he basically breathed wrestling. From my understanding he barely ever got to go home because of all the work he does for the WWE, compared to Bryan who only had to wrestle a match than his day was over. With Cena's career almost coming to an end and Punk talking about retiring they won't really have a choice but to pull the trigger on Bryan. Unless a guy comes out of nowhere and becomes popular.

7 years as the face of e = Driving around from show to show as bryan did. His day was not done afterwards either. He would have to stay for hours and sign autographs and take photographs. That life is equally if not harder than any job in the "e" That's just my opinion though.

That maybe true, but I still think Bryan is the only guy right now to replace Cena, a man can pray.

I understand. I want it too tbh. I just don't have faith in the "e" to do it.

I want it as bad as you, trust me.

Bryan is only 32, his age isn't a problem at all lol. Bruno was only 28 when his historical reign began and his career would last another twenty years after that. Hogan was 31 when Hulkamania began running wild. Austin was 33 when the Stone Cold Era began (and he would have wrestled for more years had it not been for his neck issues.) If Cena himself had only made it big when he was 32 (in 2009), he would already be nearly half a decade into his run and that's not counting the years that he has left on top of it. It's not like there's a set year for how many years you have left in order to become the face of the company anyway. Another wrestler can become hot and challenge you for that spot or even surpass you and take your spot at any moment anyway. If you have at least a guaranteed 5-6 years left in the tank, which Bryan certainly does, then you're age isn't an issue.

That said, I don't see Bryan as the face of the company unless we're entering into the second coming of the New Generation Era of the mid-90's. That was the period where the workhorses and the wrestler's wrestlers (i.e like Bryan today) were the headline. Sure, you had Diesel and his horrible reign in '95 but HBK and Bret Hart were the two main stars who shined during that era (especially when they held the title all year long in '94 and '96 respectively, both only losing it at Survivor Series, coincidentally) and their Iron Man match at WM12 was the most high profile match out of that time period. I would see it that way today with Punk and Bryan if Cena weren't around as the top dog.

The age thing was more related to the fact that Cena will likely still be around for several more years. Bryan surely won't be the face of the "E" until he leaves, and by that time he will be pretty old considering how close they are in age. I should have explained better.
