Is Johnny Wrestling the next Daniel Bryan?

A few years ago, when Daniel Bryan was at the peak of his career, WWE realized that a guy who looks like just another guy from the audience can be your next megastar if booked correctly.

At 199 lbs and just standing just below 6 feet, with a range of offensive maneuvers and painful submissions, Johnny Gargano could be the next Daniel Bryan. With the persona of a lovable loser and one who never backs down from a fight, NXT has already created a fan favorite who seems destined for big things.

In spite of a string of losses, Gargano has momentum on his side with the NXT crowd fully behind him because of his stellar in-ring performances. He will be challenging for the NXT championship very soon and if he continues to perform in the same way, he could win over a larger audience in the main roster that would propel him to the WWE championship picture in no time.
