>>4805287Bryan was an objective draw in an era where WWE booked specifically for draws not to exist. He was also hamstrung at every single turn in a way no face of the company has ever had to deal with. And even so, he main evented a Wrestlemania, something so many other “best wrestlers in the world” have never done.
You can make your arguments about Omega, Ospreay, Punk, Joe, Nigel whoever. The fact is Bryan achieved something that was nearly impossible for someone of his background, and Vince wouldn’t have done it unless he absolutely had to because of Bryan’s heat.
