I think his return would garner some pretty huge pops, but once he's back I can't see him having anywhere near the same over-ness (sorry, I'm not good with words). Yeah he's been injured, but it was the constant screw overs by the authority really fueled the popularity he gained.

Inducting Daniel Bryan into the HOF makes absolutely no sense if you base it off of his WWE career. ROH and independent circuit wise maybe, but on a WWE basis, absolutely not.

Koko B. Ware went in, and he accomplished a whole hell of a lot less than Bryan has.

Pretty much. Wrestling isn't a sport, it's entertainment.
If you take in the totality of the past five years, you'd realize he's accomplished quite a bit for a 5'8 worker who'd never built himself as a cruiser.
Retiring young creates a mystique that WWE would surely take a advantage of as time moved forward beyond his retirement.
WWE would eventually goad him into a final match (If they did so with Bret Hart, I wouldn't put it past them to do ask any popular wrestler to give it another go).

The 'Yes Movement' alone is worth putting into the Hall Of Fame.

Yep. You could even make a logically sound argument that he's already the biggest overachiever in WWF/E history. Despite his gifted in-ring ability, you need personality, charisma, and a marketable look to make it to the top in WWE, and many people thought Bryan didn't have enough of all three to ever truly break through to the top in WWE, but look at him now. (This is the part where I usually run through all of his accomplishments, but I won't bother since you'll just be reading what you already know.) I'll just say that on top of his numerous accolades, the fact that he ended up coining a chant that it already rapidly becoming the new "What?!" is something special as well.

He'll definitely get a big pop, but he won't reach the heights he did at WM.

Depending on the moment. If it's in a big spot it'll be the biggest pop since lesnar return after mania. Guaranteed
has there even been a big pop since Lesnar's return? not exactly saying much

I'd say Bryan already has had several reactions (even if some of them weren't immediate pops when his music first hit) that surpassed Lesnar's the night after Mania.
