Also any time he talks it feels like he's trying to remember lines but that's more of a WWE problem than a Bryan problem.
As for Drake I just find the guy entertaining and I dont remember him ever telling the fans to say yeah either. Started with his Dummy Yeah button. I dont see the Rock stuff like you do though, maybe in his tone a bit but I'm not going to fault a guy for learning something from one the greatest to ever step in the ring.
Personally I think its silly to compare WWE and TNA active talent. Its 2 totally different promotion on different levels. and that's also how I view them. I don't watch TNA expecting it to be the greatest wrestling show possible like I do with WWE. Same with ROH I don't hold them the same standards that I hold WWE to.

If you do anything a lot people will catch on. It's just weird that you apply that logic to the YES chants, which were actually over, but don't to the shit that is actually repeated because people know the lines. Like The Miz's "awesome" shtick.
The promotions are on two very different levels, you are correct. The gap has also widened because TNA has mismanaged itself and the talent there that was on a world class level. Now they are left with the dregs WWE doesn't want, because they either cut them from developmental because they saw nothing or they have histories of drug abuse and/or domestic violence.
AJ Styles was TNA. Samoa Joe was TNA. How do they compare? I'd probably say that AJ Styles is the best thing in WWE, and Joe could be right up there. It's TNA's fault they don't have them anymore, and have to rely on these guys that just aren't good enough to make developmental. There is plenty of talent that is not in WWE that is on that level, so I think that is a cop-out when it comes to Drake anyway.
As for him copying Rock? I get the theory, but it plays way too obviously. You also set expectations high and when you miss, you miss bad. You can take things that worked and filter them through your voice, but the guy just wants to be Rocky so bad, and it's so obvious.
