Daniel Bryan and The Miz are both 35 years old.
Bryan started wrestling in 1999 and actually signed a developmental WWF contract in 2000, he also wrestled in WWE in 2003, however he spent most his time in the independent promotions from 2001-2009. Then on to WWE.
The Miz started wrestling in 2003 and was on Tough Enough in 2004, went to developmental from 2004-2006 before making his WWE debut.
Bryan
18 different independent championships
WWE world heavyweight champion
WWE world champion 3x
WWE intercontinental champion
WWE tag team champion
WWE US champion
The Miz
DSW heavyweight champion
OVW tag team champion
WWE champion
WWE US champion 2x
WWE intercontinental champion 5x
WWE tag team champion 6x
I think both were very successful,
I also think if Bryan stayed in WWE when he first came in, he might not have gotten the chance to learn in the independent scene and his career may have been more like the Miz's than his own. He might still be wrestling, but there wouldn't have been the "yes" movement, or the WM moment in that way, because the "story" of making it after all those years played such a huge part.
