those moments don't stand out to you because as you said you don't really like DB
I do wanna address the whole he's not on Austins level and never will be comment. It was a different landscape and all these different things factor in Audience,Technology and so forth its unfair to look at Bryan and judge him by the period where wrestling was so hot it burned blue.(even if we were to go by the attitude era scale the response Bryan has gotten is still monstrous) interestingly enough a lot of those legends you mentioned seem to be fans of DB as well.

Well I accept that I may well be in a minority of Daniel Bryan haters. Actually I don't hate him but I just don't see his mass appeal.
If truth be told post 2008 my deep passion for wrestling waned and I tune in for nostalgic value and the only superstar of this current active crop I truly rate is John Cena. The divas division I don't have issue with as their neither outstanding nor terrible although I wouldn't say no to Paige.
If anyone (imo) was the prime example of the zero to hero persona/storyline then it was Mick Foley but he dished out as much pain as he received.
