Daniel Bryan has had quite a pro wrestling career, having wrestled for almost 20 years. He has been signed by WWE on several occasions, beginning way back in 2000. After dominating the indie scene, Bryan was signed by WWE in 2009, before being fired and released from his contract a year later for choking ring announcer Justin Roberts with a tie.

But he returned later that year and has been with the company since, becoming one of the most popular Superstars of the decade and a phenomenal in-ring performer.
