#4 Daniel Bryan
Trending
Daniel Bryan was one of the finest technical wrestlers on the planet before injuries forced him into an early retirement. But, during his heydey, there was no one more popular than Bryan in the entire world of professional wrestling.
The Yes movement built to such a crescendo that there was no way he wasn’t going to be considered a megastar, and it made all the sense in the world for him to cash in on it and make a huge movie.
Except, he rejected all such notions because of his love for wrestling. In fact, he cut one of the most scathing promos ever when he accused John Cena of doing exactly that – cashing in on his popularity for mainstream fame.
Even today, Bryan doesn’t hesitate to take a shot at part-timers and their activities away from the squared circle. I’m sure given a choice between being the biggest movie star on the planet and the chance to wrestle again, he would take the latter in a heartbeat.
