"Hard Work pays off!!"

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Not going to lie Dolph, but "DB is where he is because of fan support, not hard work" is one of the stupidest quotes I've read in a long long time.

As soon as I saw you had replied I knew you would try to bury the thread.

I'm not saying DB doesn't work hard or that hard work wasn't part of what got him where he is. Point is DB isn't the only hard worker. Tons of guys works hard and won't get where DB is. the hard work without fan support would not have gotten him this push.

I'll take it as a compliment, because anyone with any brain cells should know how Blue this thread is.

"DB is where he is because of fan support, not hard work"

Point is DB isn't the only hard worker.

Haven't seen one single post saying DB is the only hard worker on the planet.

Tons of guys works hard and won't get where DB is. the hard work without fan support would not have gotten him this push.

He got the fan support because of hard work. His hard work made him incredibly talented. He is over because of how much work he put in and because of how talented he is... Other people working hard and not getting that fan support is utterly irrelevant. Bro, this is a BLFFL standard of thread. I hope you're trolling or something.

Daniel Bryan works hard. Nobody is arguing that point. You may think he's the hardest working man in the WWE or pro wrestling or you may not, but it really doesn't matter to this conversation.

The question seems to be: "Why does DB's hard work pay off in a Mania main event and title run when other guys' hard work doesn't?". The answer is luck. Luck has played a role in DB's placement in the company as well. It was luck that the "Yes!" chants got so over with the crowd. It was luck (from Bryan's perspective) that Bryan ended up in the HHH match. By "luck", I mean things that are beyond one's personal control.

The reason we lionize hard work (or hustle, loyalty, and respect, or saying your prayers and eating your vitamins, or what-have-you) is that hard work is the part of the equation you can control. You can't control luck, which is, by its very definition out of your control, but you can be a hard worker and be prepared for when luck taps you.

So, from Daniel Bryan Danielson's perspective, hard work has paid off with his current situation.
