14 Biggest Pops In WWE History

3. Everybody Agrees With Daniel Bryan At Last - WrestleMania 30

There€™s not a lot that needs to be said about this one. The culmination of what felt like several lifetimes worth of disappointments, knockbacks and disillusionment with Daniel Bryan€™s storylines for well over a year, WWE finally capitulated to the clear need for the vast majority of their fanbase for Bryan to win the big one €“ and this time, have it count. The WWE Universe first began chanting YES YES YES independent of the action in the ring two years earlier, before Daniel Bryans 18 second loss to Sheamus at Wrestlemania XXVIII. All throughout his heel run, when he changed it to NO and adamantly refused to give it to the fans who were dying for him to turn babyface, the YES chants continued. When he finally did turn babyface and began the seemingly interminable storyline feuding with The Authority over their failure to consider him main event material, fans were elated. A €˜Stone Cold€™ anti-authority run! Every top babyface€™s dream! And then€ it wasn€™t. Every chance they got, the office would pull Bryan down again. It got to the point that fans finally twigged that this wasn€™t just an angle€ someone in the back didn€™t think that YES meant YES after all. They considered it a flash in the pan. Bryan€™s lack of appearance in the Royal Rumble incensed fans further, despite the fact that nobody had ever said that he€™d be competing in the match, and his feud with the Wyatt Family seemed like a classic distraction tactic while WWE served up one of their big, brawny, useless championship contenders€ like Batista, who won the Rumble. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oCDsGeVB3A Bryan€™s inclusion in the Wrestlemania main event was almost too little, too late€ but this moment, a long time coming, made it worthwhile.
