I don't feel like we currently have a Steve Austin or a Rock. I think Ziggler could pull off something, I've been really fond of his work on the mic, but best bet is being the early 2000 Jericho for him since he's not a physical specimen.
Austin and Rock had it all, in my opinion. Great characters, amazing mic skills, size, muscle and competent to amazing ring-work and match-psychology.
Bryan isn't amazing on the mic, even as a heel he's just "good" to me, and I consider him very competent as a face. Minus the size and muscle though and recognize that pretty much every match he has his amazing and he certainly deserves to be at the top.
Triple H and Batista both make good foils for Bryan though. I believe that the Triple H feud up to now has been excellent. It's better than the Triple H VS. Foley feud by far, but ultimately Bryan needs CM Punk to work with. Unless some guys on the current roster really step up (not saying they're not good now), I don't see that many "epic feuds" in Bryan's future. As it stands now I could see him having potentially good-great feuds with Cesaro, Lesnar, Ryback and maybe Ziggler.
You know though, wouldn't mind seeing an extended feud between Ziggler and The Miz. Think that could be incredibly entertaining.
