#2 Daniel Bryan
If there was ever a single individual in the sport of professional wrestling worth cheering for, it was Daniel Bryan. Throughout his career, Bryan has always been known as one of those guys who simply did things the right way, despite what you may have heard or seen during that whole Justin Roberts tie incident.
Right out of high school, Bryan started training with Dean Malenko before heading down to San Antonio where he would train under Shawn Michaels and Rudy Boy Gonzalez at the highly respected Texas Wrestling Academy.

It was in the early 2000's when Daniels career really started to take off. Daniel was picked up by top independent promotion Ring of Honor, which was ultimately the catalyst where his career went to the next level. Daniel's time in the WWE has been something you would read out of a fantasy book. Though the odds were always stacked against him, he always found a way to adjust and overcome, making him the ultimate overachiever.
Unfortunately, the injury bug would not leave Bryan alone. While he was able to overcome nearly everything thrown his way, the injuries eventually became too much for anyone, even for Superman himself to overcome, which would lead to Daniel's in-ring retirement speech in early 2016.
Thankfully, WWE has found a way to incorporate Bryan into WWE television, but it's still not the same. Nevertheless, the achievements and contributions Daniel Bryan has made inside and outside of the ring are more than enough to earn him a future bid into the WWE Hall of Fame.
