7 Best Promos In Wrestling Today

A long time ago, there was a young chap by the name of Bryan Danielson. A student of both HBK and William Regal, Bryan was praised for his astonishing technical ability between the ropes. He was likened to Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit (a pre-2007 comparison, just to be clear) in that while he was a truly gifted ring talent, he was rather lacking in the charisma department.

That all seems like something out of a Bizarro world these days, what with the New Daniel Bryan blowing everyone away with his wildly misanthropic, eco friendly tirades catching fire. In the wake of his mean spirited heel turn last year, Bryan has been spitting venom on the mic. The heat he generates in an age of chants like ‘you deserve it’ is nothing short of commendable.

More impressive still is this fan hate is aimed at the same man behind the Yes movement. D-Bry was one of the most beloved babyfaces of the decade earlier on and has proven he really can sell just about anything on the microphone. Funny as both a face and a heel, Bryan’s more serious stuff is even better and a perfect complement to his sterling in ring work.
