10 Best Wrestling Storylines Of 2018
6. The New Daniel Bryan
The New Daniel Bryan is already the greatest ever wrestling gimmick with that prefix, but it's perhaps because every use that came before it tried in vain to recreate something already brilliant. Daniel Bryan had a f*cking piece of sh*t of a year to bounce back from. What was "New" wasn't old, but was thankfully very, very different.
This article is about the best storylines of 2018, and until November one of the greatest real-life comebacks in wrestling history wasn't even going to feature. How did WWE conspire not just to let the air out of that balloon, but deflate a nostalgic one with Kane and burst a fantasy-booked one with The Miz? And that's discounting whatever the f*ck the rivalry with Big Cass was supposed to achieve.
The New Daniel Bryan could probably give you a tight 10-minutes on why, but he's too busy using his wisdom for the greater good. A perniciously pious pr*ck has little time for such trivialities - he's too busy saving the world, saving the WWE Championship, and saving his title.
Best of all; he's everything Vince McMahon seemingly despises about thoroughly modern men. If the cantankerous old Chairman can understand the gimmick, there's a good chance the ultra-talented Bryan can do whatever he likes with it.
