Which is one of the dumber things about this hall of fame really. Drawing is an aspect of candidacy, not the deciding factor but seems to be so heavily weighed in the eyes of voters. Probably because it can be objective. But the era we're in now, it's more subjective than ever as to what is the draw. Especially in WWE.

Great draws, but bad workers get in. Not great draws, but great workers struggle to. They shouldn't based on the criteria, but they do. Because subjectivity.

Bryan has net positives in the influence and draw categories, but his strength and what ultimately will get him in is his work. If you looked at his working resume and there were no other aspects of candidacy, he's a slam dunk and probably the strongest US candidate.
