#4 The Daniel Bryan story

The triumph of the underdog

At Wrestlemania XXX, Daniel Bryan overcame all the odds to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of the 30th annual edition of professional wrestling's biggest show.

It was the culmination of a long and arduous road for a young man who was never supposed to hit the heights he did. Dismissed as being too small and not connecting well with audiences, D-Bry was never given a second thought by WWE management.

Then the Yes Movement began. It was ignored. In response, it grew to become the biggest thing in the wrestling world as fans all across the planet bellowed for the indie darling to be given his moment in the sun.

It became such a huge phenomenon that the WWE actually changed its original plans for Wrestlemania 30 and gave Bryan a victory that was widely celebrated as a triumph for the common man.
