Daniel Bryan (I have to get in the habit of calling him this instead of Bryan Danielson) doesn't have the type of natural chrisma of a John Cena or Edge... I definitely agree with that statement by Gertner. He's 100% right. Where his he is wrong is compairing him to Dean Malenko. Daniel Bryan has more chrisma and a more exciting in ring style than Dean Malenko ever had. Bryan has a much more high flying approach to wrestling than Dan ever did, a style that will get the fans cheering for him, and like has been stated before already has gotten fans cheering for him. Bryan had a modest reaction when he came out last night but 2 minutes into his match he had the crowd cheering. Sure that was equally cheers for Morrison, but he also got his own share of the interest.
Daniel Bryan is like a more charismatic version of Chris Benoit (that may not be saying much). Bryan has good mic skills, no one is ever going to mistaken him for The Miz or Edge but he is better than Chris Benoit. Daniel Bryan will be much like Benoit is the fact that he will get over with the fans with his wrestling, and its already starting. As people have said people don't get reactions when they're not in any kind of storyline. During his feud with The Miz he got huge reactions. During NXT he got huge reactions. During the first few minutes of the Summer Slam main event the whole crowd was chanting "Daniel Bryan."
