We could waste time gushing about Daniel Bryan's career, but let's just leave it at “awesome”, which forces us to note that his inspirational rise was heavily influenced, if not fuelled, by fan protest.

The Yes Movement deserves credit for once making D-Bry the most interesting man in pro wrestling, but it's easy to overlook that it also had a hand in making us all miserable for the ensuing two years, give or take.

The Yes Movement marked a shift in the minds of smarks everywhere, as it implied that WWE was a spectator democracy. Fans came away feeling so entitled to relentlessly rebel against the company's creative direction, it's a wonder we haven't heard a crowd chanting Sex Pistols lyrics yet.

So Reigns insertion into the top slot was met with more pushback than ever, and frankly, all this resistance has prevented more people from enjoying WWE than their own writers have. That's no small feat.

Finally, who do you think was responsible for the initial downpour of rejection that washes over Reigns to this very day?
