When Daniel Bryan first made his debut in the WWE back in February 2010 on WWE NXT (then a reality/wrestling hybrid show), he was unlike most main event level Superstars. He wasn't the big, bulky type like Big Show, Kane, or the Great Khali. He didn't have the good looks that guys like John Cena, Randy Orton or Roman Reigns had.

I separate my life into two parts: before professional wrestling and after professional wrestling. It sounds ridiculous but professional wrestling has made me the person I am today. I started watching wrestling when I was about nine years old. Before that time and up to that time, I had no friends. Literally, no one I knew I would have considered a friend. It wasn't for a lack of trying on my part, maybe it was because of a lack of social skills. I was the fat kid in class. I wasn't the only fat…

wasn’t a huge fan of any of these things separately, let alone all in one wrestling practice.
