I selected Bryan and was asked why. I feel that Bryan's ascent to the top was the beginnings of the audience rejecting the narrative in WWE. The reverberations of this are still being felt today, with the way the audience has interacted with Becky's attempted heel turn and the ongoing saga of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. I think that in 5/10/20 years time that shift will be significant. Conversely, I think Hardy's defining impact to the great narrative of wrestling was the quest for the 'bigger bump', which could only go so far, though you still see remnants of that in the Kevin Owens/Shane McMahon Hell In A Cell.
