  • A look back at when Daniel Bryan became the angriest environmentalist on the face of the planet. Daniel Bryan's Planet's Champion run was a stroke of pure genius where he turned heel and just hit on all aspects of his performance.

    planets champ or yes movement?

      @usamazahid3882 10 місяців тому +13

      I say that the Yes Movement is much more challenging but best as it is, but as far as his heel run goes, I can understand that a character change is needed and all but his reign is a tad bit, just like what Daniel Bryan/Bryan Danielson said it himself, *"Fickle"*

    His underdog run is GOATED but his heel run is what gave birth to Kofimania. What sort of ruins it is that DB moved on and WWE didn’t do anything valuable with Kofi after.

    It's incredible to think about Daniel Bryan's ability to continually renew himself. In 2018, after his return, his character seemed to be in a stalemate and he managed to change, creating one of the best characters of the late 2010s. A three-dimensional villain, who, like CM Punk straight edge, sacrificed himself by preaching the right values on a higher level believing that one is better than others. A capacity for transformation on Daniel's part that few in the business have, I'm thinking of Chris Jericho or the Undertaker, capable of renewing themselves and thus remaining on the crest of the wave for a long time.

    His heel run paved the way for his BCC character in AEW. Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan is a Top 10 Wrestler for how pure his wrestling is. He can have a banger with anyone.

  • @thehoshangkoul
    @thehoshangkoul 10 місяців тому +86

    This run really solidified his second stint with WWE post comeback.
    He was doing some of the best work of his career.
    And how can we forget the epic build to WrestleMania 35 where he became the arch nemesis to Kofi like how the authority was to him back in 2014. Kofimania wouldn't be as epic as it was if Daniel didn't do his part. One of the best championship reigns of the last decade 🔥

  • @alec2000

    Oh man, I remember this run very fondly. Bryan as a heel was such an unexpected gem. All of his matches were spectacular and his promos towards the fans and showing the truth of wrestling fans were just amazing😅. Also, his custom championship was so disgusting, it truly added to his heelish persona, and I love that. Lastly, Bryan putting over Kofi was easily one of the best decisions he’s ever made, and this definitely made for one of the best storylines ever. So while this was short, Bryan as a heel was just magnificent😁👍.

    • @Mrryn
      @Mrryn 5 місяців тому +1

      Bryan, in general, is magnificent.
      He had a fantastic people's champion run as a face culminating in the birth of an organic beloved babyface and putting on incredible matches.
      And then, almost as if to prove his detractors wrong on his return from career-threatening mounting injuries, he proceeded to go on a stellar heel run where he managed to make himself hated *and* did it almost entirely with his promo skills...something people always said he lacked as a complete wrestler. And set up the perfect scenario for a beautiful role reversal to put over clean another beloved fixture of the company.
      And now he's absolutely tearing it up in AEW in his final run, all that after putting up some actual bangers on his way out vs Roman (and Edge in that triple threat match at Mania) and even giving the Fiend his best match of that run of Bray's which was also the one good strap match in WWE history to boot (edit: between that and Umaga vs Cena which was admittedly a surprise banger as well). The man deserves a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of wrestling at this point, he's honestly just too damn good.

    I'll always remember seeing D.B. at a house show in I believe it was 2019 in Bournemouth, England. He was the tag champion at that point.
    He came out with Rowan, stood on the turnbuckle and just stayed there with his hands in the air... He held it for about a minute, his music ended, the music restarted, and he was still just there...
    I thought that was hilarious.

    You must bring up the Saudi Arabia drama when talking about Brock was Brian. Brian stood out as one of the wrestlers who refused to go because of the Koshogi political murder and people expected Brock to murder him and his character because of his disobedience and controversy with a country the WWE was building a business relationship with. While Brock was dominating Bryan in the beginning, many believed they were witnessing a true burial, which turned the low blow and referee spot to a true shoot surprise. It’s one of my favorite matches of the era.

Even though I remember him having an alliance with Erick Rowan I forgot they were tag team champions. His Planet Champion gimmick was sidelined in favor of Kofimania which happened because Mustafa Ali was injured. It would have been better if he kept the gimmick going after WrestleMania when feuding with The Fiend instead of dropping it without mention.
