Wrestling needing realism isn't the reason Bryan on top doesn't work. It's actually the exact opposite. Wrestling succeeds and is at it's best when it's larger than life. A vibe Daniel Bryan does not give off in any way, shape or form. He may have worked as "the man" when people still thought wrestling was real in the pre-Hogan days but now it just comes off as a fake version of something you can readily watch the real version of instead by flipping over to UFC. ROH does the style where everything's treated more realistic and guys like Daniel Bryan can be on top. They do it perfectly fine, too. Yet they'll never make it as a major company. It just doesn't work.
