Daniel Bryan might actually be the best overall wrestler ever. Great matches, and great character work.
I'm not sure any face was able to get as hot as he was at the time of WM30, and then still have everyone completely hate him a couple years later.
Austin: After the big face run he was never really "hated" as a heel even though WWE tried - still more of a tweener.
Rock: Same thing. After his big face run was always a tweener after that.
Hogan: Early days of NWO he was pretty hated...but a lot of that was moving WWF to WCW and leaning on the WWF invasion part of the outsiders since WCW fans hated all things WWF at the time. As time passed people started to hate Hogan the person, not Hogan the character.
