A lot of ROH fans loved Bryan Danielson not just for the great worker, but because he represented their different sort of talent. Not only can this little bitty submission specialist do amazing stuff in the ring, but he'd never last in a place like WWE, would he?
Fast forward five years and sweet Jesus is that guy over! If you haven't seen Smackdown check it out if only for the ending to the main event. Daniel Bryan takes out the Shield in a semi-believable manner (it's not stale when he does it), then he leads the crowd in a Yes chant. he yells "I AM NOT THE WEAK LINK", and they show massive, massive sections of the audience all chanting for him. This little dude had the crowd eating from the palm of his hand.
In today's day of meh babyfaces and mixed reactions for Cena, there's no way they can turn this guy heel. No way.
And we all said he'd never make it.
