15 Greatest Dragons In Wrestling History

4. Daniel Bryan

Species: American dragon (grapplax starspanglii)

Daniel Bryan’s WWE career was cut tragically short, but he still had a lengthy independent career as “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson. Although the name was normally just meant to highlight his ferocity, when he traveled to Japan he wore a red, white, and blue dragon mask that I could build an entire wardrobe around.

This is just a personal suggestion, take it or leave it, but if WWE really wants to increase SmackDown's profile in the wake of the brand split, they are absolutely not going to hurt that effort by doing a Midnight Rider gimmick where Bryan gets fired and replaced by INTERIM GM AMERICAN DRAGON.
