| Bryan Danielson signed with WWE several months ago and is currently awaiting to debut. Now there is no question that Danielson is one of THE best wrestlers in the world right now and quite possibly the best itself. But his style is something that is very different to what WWE currently produce. He's not of the WWE mold to say the least. Now that WWE's target demographic has lowered to the younger teens, is Danielson someone that they would understand?
I've posted below the link to the first part of his recent match with Naruki Doi from DGUSA (as recommended by Gunman!) as an example of his quality but also to show it's a very different style to one that 99% of the WWE wrestlers use (Regal is about the only one that does)

I'm just worried that he'll go completely over the head of kids that want to see Cena. | |

| His style is certainly something completely different from the norm in WWE. Usually that's a good thing as it makes him stand out, but WWE doesn't seem to like individuality and he'll likely be sent to developmental for a while. Look at CM Punk, they signed him based on the quality of his work then decided he didn't fit their style, sent him to developmental, stripped away his regular moveset and turned him into KENTA-lite, and if it hadn't been for Paul Heyman he may never have got a call up to the main roster. I do think Danielson is the sort of guy who will be able to adapt to a different style anyway, and make it work.
Danielson has one thing in his favour, the fact he was trained by Shawn Michaels and William Regal could at least help him in getting on screen time. I don't think his wrestling style will necessarily be a problem for the fans, the kids are more interested in the characters than the wrestling itself I feel, and the older fans should appreciate his ability. His biggest challenge for me is going to be developing a character that will get over, and not having his push stalled like Ziggler.
I think a big part of getting him over, will be to announce when he'll be debuting, and do it in the North East area, where several ROH fans will almost certainly show up to see it, and give him the sort of reaction needed to kick start his career in WWE. | |

| Danielson for me is the WWE's long term natural replacement to Chris Beniot and I believe that will be enough to get him over with the fans like it did Beniot, I think he will have to scrap around he mid card for a long time occasionally getting to the big time but I think he will just be the go to guy for the WWE when they want a good match, if they do give him that role I'm sure he would be delighted with it, Beniot was a major player | |

| I haven't really seen that much of Danielson as I've never really watched RoH but I can say I have only heard good things about him, so I'm looking forward to him debuting | |

| After watching part 1 of that match. I am instantly a fan. I just know that he will be forced to change his style unfortunately. People like him is what WWE is crying out for | |
