#1. Daniel Bryan - Among WWE's greatest overachievers?

It's not unfair to say that Daniel Bryan was an overachiever in WWE. It was one thing to come in from the independent scene with momentum on his side and proceeding to prove his value.

But it's another thing to have a forced retirement, return to fight, and successfully do so two years later only to prove that he was still among the world's best.

Daniel Bryan has admitted that his in-ring career could be winding down sooner rather than later, and what a career it is to look back on.

From his 2010 run in WWE alone, Daniel Bryan has an incredible body of work. He was widely regarded as the best wrestler in the world for years, especially between his 2013-14 run that culminated in a successful WrestleMania main event.

After his match against Daniel Bryan on SmackDown last year, Sami Zayn broke character on Twitter and declared that the former World Champion is the best in-ring performer of his generation.

When looking at his in-ring prowess and overall ability, few Superstars are at Daniel Bryan's level. The fact that he reportedly has creative control only proves how much WWE values him.
