Daniel Bryan is one of the most beloved WWE superstars ever. He's also a guy that WWE's heels loved to criticize because he's not a very big guy. His listed weight is 210 pounds although he might be less than that. Bryan's a one time World Champion and three time WWE Champion. He never lost the WWE Title this past spring, but he's been out of action since May due to a neck injury that has become more serious than a lot of people thought. Bryan won his first World Title in 2011 when he cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Big Show at the December TLC PPV. Looking back on his career, people are going to remember him more for his babyface work although that first title reign was mostly as a heel because he turned soon after his win. The whole "yes" thing actually started with him as an obnoxious heel champion. It took off from there. The biggest WWE Title win of his career came in the main event of WrestleMania 30. It was a huge night for him as he beat Triple H in the opening match and then beat Randy Orton & Batista in the main event. The crowd went crazy as he led 75,000 people in "Yes" chants. Bryan is missed in WWE. Hopefully he can return to be WWE Champion again although that's far from a sure thing.
