#3. Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan's life plays out like a real-life "Rocky" screenplay.
An undersized but scrappy kid from a working-class family vows to be a wrestling star. To this end he trains in martial arts and wrestling, becoming a world-class athlete.
Working his way up through the indies, Bryan ended up in the Ring of Honor promotion and was one of that company's early stars. Bryan also wrestled in Japan and PWG, winning titles everywhere he went but always people would ask him when he would sign with WWE.
Daniel Bryan was put into NXT, when it was still a pseudo-reality show, refusing to acknowledge his past deeds in other promotions. Bryan would join the Nexus faction only to be fired for choking the ring announcer with his own tie.
Bryan was reinstated shortly after due partially to the efforts of John Cena. But still Bryan was pushed toward the midcard, but the WWE Universe grew wrestles. The Yes movement demanded that Bryan be taken seriously as a star, ruining Roman Reigns' ultimate moment of Royal Rumble triumph.
Eventually WWE accepted the inevitable and put the title on Bryan. All seemed to be going well, but nagging injuries piled up into something serious and Bryan was forced to relinquish his title and faced an uncertain future.
