History Heartwarming / BryanDanielson

* On the 4/7/2014 Raw, while doing a promo after winning the championship at [=WrestleMania]], the crowd began a "You deserve it" chant.

* At ''Forbidden Door'', Tony Khan paid to bring back Danielson's ROH theme "The Final Countdown" for just the event, causing the crowd to erupt upon hearing it. Despite being a heel, Danielson couldn't help but smile over coming out to it once more, also smiling at the crowd when they sing along with "IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!" like they did in ROH.

** It's just the general reaction of the people in the ring that sells it. Most of the champions, from Miz to Mick Foley to CM Punk to Wrestling/BookerT to Wrestling/TheGreatKhali can't help but smile at the appreciation for Daniel. Big Show starts to smile, but by the YES chants he loses it and starts laughing. Early on when the chants start, you can see Mysterio show respect to Bryan, as if to say "Nice job, buddy. You just hijacked Raw. I hope you appreciate this." Mark Henry, a veteran of WWE, raising Bryan's hand was a massive sign of respect. Even Wrestling/TheMiz briefly starts laughing, despite the fact that he had very recently turned heel (although the turn was in the midst of being aborted). For a very brief instance, you can see Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon crack a grin.

* At ''[=WrestleMania=] 34'', the sheer love and adoration Daniel Bryan gets from the crowd as he steps into the ring for the first time in three years after being forced to retire due to health issues (and in the same arena he triumphed four years prior, no less). And he shows them (and the pro wrestling business) the same love by performing like he'd never left the ring.

** At Wrestlemania XXX, Connor was in the front row as Bryan won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. One of the first things that Bryan does after winning the belts is climb out of the ring and give Connor a hug while thanking him for all of his support and urging him to keep fighting.

* When Daniel Bryan won the WWE Championship from Wrestling/JohnCena, he did via pinfall rather than submission. The move that he used to keep Cena down long enough for the 3-count? A jumping variant of the Knee Trembler, the [[FinishingMove finisher]] of his mentor Wrestling/WilliamRegal and a trademark move of Japanese wrestler KENTA, with whom Bryan is good friends (and who uses the YES Lock in tribute to Bryan).
** Also, according to [=NoDQ.com=], after Summerslam went off the air fans started chanting "NO!" and "BULLSHIT" in response to Bryan losing the title. That really says something about the popularity of a wrestler when [[spoiler: losing the title makes the crowd turn on Wrestling/RandyOrton.]]
* On the December 9th episode of Raw, Bryan is down in the ring with about twenty other former WWE Champions and World Heavyweight Champions to be a part of the ascension ceremony to build up towards the TLC 2013 match between John Cena and Randy Orton for the Undisputed Championship. Triple H is about to begin his speech to build up the [=PPV's=] main event, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsESZMBJhXw when the crowd starts chanting for Daniel Bryan,]] who, bear in mind, is in the ring as a background character with no involvement in the current segment. The crowd cheers for him so loudly that the segment is completely disrupted and Triple H has to stay quiet with visible annoyance until the crowd dies down, which doesn't happen for several minutes (he knows full well he can't tell the crowd to quiet down; that's just [[ReversePsychology asking for trouble]] ). This ring has people like CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Triple H, Mick Foley, Big Show, and Rey Mysterio, a who's who of wrestling greats both past and present, and the crowd only has eyes for Daniel Bryan. The other part to this scene is Daniel Bryan's reaction. [[{{Corpsing}} He gets the biggest smile on his face and starts laughing.]] He looked like he was having the time of his life up there. Even some of the people standing in the ring seem to be enjoying it. Mark Henry is shown smiling and even raises Bryan's hand, and The Miz briefly starts laughing, despite the fact that he had very recently turned heel (although the turn was in the midst of being aborted).

** It's just the general reaction of the people in the ring that sells it. Most of the champions, from Miz to Mick Foley to CM Punk to Booker T to The Great Kali can't help but smile at the appreciation for Daniel. Big Show starts to smile, but by the YES chants he loses it and starts laughing. Early on when the chants start, you can see Mysterio show respect to Bryan, as if to say "Nice job, buddy. You just hijacked Raw. I hope you appreciate this." Mark Henry, a veteran of WWE, raising Bryan's hand was a massive sign of respect. For a very brief instance, you can see Stephanie [=McMahon=] crack a grin.
* Even thought it was obviously a work, it was still difficult not to be smiling when dozens of Daniel Bryan's fans swarmed the ring on March 10th and refuse to leave until Daniel Bryan gets the chance at the Wrestlemania main event he deserves. The sheer amount of support Bryan received over the past four years is staggering.
* After ''finally'' prevailing over the Authority at Wrestlemania 30 and winning the WWE World Heavyweight championship back, Bryan's sister and niece come out to the ring to celebrate with him.
** On the second part of Bryan's appearance of Chris Jericho's ''Talk is Jericho'' podcast, Bryan said that his niece doesn't really understand the scale of [=WrestleMania=] or the WWE Universe's support of her Uncle, and referred to the celebration as "Uncle Bryan's party with his friends" & was completely nonplussed about the arena cheering for him and wearing his t-shirts, with her reaction being along the lines of "Well, of course everyone cheers for him & wears his t-shirt. He's my Uncle Bryan, who else are they going to cheer for?"
* On the 4/7/2014 Raw, while doing a promo after winning the championship at Wrestlemania, the crowd began a "You deserve it" chant.

** What solidifies this is that he got to retire and announce his retirement in Washington with all of his family and the entire locker room including Vince, Triple H and Stephanie, and of course, Brie, sending him off one last time with a massive Yes chant.

-->'''Cole''': I love you, kid.

** Hell, ''Wrestling/CMPunk'' went ahead and simply tweeted a gif of him and Bryan shaking hands right before one of their ROH matches together. That's how much he respected Bryan, to be willing to acknowledge wrestling again for one more moment just to honor him.

** When Bryan talks about when and where his comeback match will take place, nearly the entire arena begin pointing towards the Wrestlemania sign hanging above the stands.

* At Wrestlemania 34, the sheer love and adoration Daniel Bryan gets from the crowd as he steps into the ring for the first time in three years after being forced to retire due to health issues. And he shows them (and the pro wrestling business) the same love by performing like he'd never left the ring.
