Bryan is a comedy goof during his matches, during his promos, during his segments, during his everything. He doesn't have any genuine main event moments that actually put HIM over as a winner for casuals to have faith in nevermind a decade. When he got scared of Big Show's finger and hid behind Kane as being legitimately intimidated and scared instead of mock fear like any real star would've been booked to do, that was the moment he became Eric Young.
