10 Wrestlers We're Most Thankful For In 2019

10. Daniel Bryan

This one's cheating, really, as we're always thankful for Daniel Bryan, what he does, and what he brings to the business.

He is, at any given time, one of the best wrestlers in the world. You could slot him into a list like this at literally any time, such is his consistency, so including Bryan is almost a default choice. Slotting him in at number 10 doesn't mean we're any more or less thankful for Daniel than anyone else on this list, it's just... cheating, isn't it?

Regardless, it wouldn't be right to not acknowledge the former 'Planet's Champion's' greatness on this specific holiday. Recent months have seen him help Bray Wyatt recover with a strong Survivor Series match after the failed Seth Rollins feud, indulge in TV bangers with the likes of Adam Cole and Buddy Murphy, attempt to make the most out of the maligned Roman Reigns whodunit saga, and consistently get the best out of every single opponent he crosses paths with. On top of that, let's not forget the awesome WWE Championship reign Bryan had prior to WrestleMania 35 and the role he played in ensuring Kofi Kingston's triumph resonated so strongly.

WWE's most consistent wrestler proves himself an in-ring genius at every time of asking. We're lucky to live at the same time as he is doing all this great work.
