There's too many very skilled wrestlers from the past for Bryan to qualify, I'd say. Too many to name, even - I'd probably put Bryan at the level of someone like Mr. Wrestling II. A great technical wrestler, a big name in his home territories, but he didn't have the height or star power to become a national name and there were dozens of other wrestlers who were more than a match for him on the mat. Seriously, the golden era of wrestling was inundated with amazing technical wrestlers who really knew how to work a hold. Bryan stands out today because there are so few like him, but back then they were comparatively a dime a dozen.
Dragon Gate stream their iPPVs via Nicovideo;
secure.live.nicovideo.jp/event/dragongate
The site's in Japanese, but registering is easy enough (use a fake Japanese address) and it accepts US/EU credit/debit cards to buy points (which are then used to purchase the shows). They haven't got any listed for January yet, but I expect the first live iPPV of 2015 will be Korakuen Hall on January 15th, iirc.
DGUSA probably isn't worth it, especially the more recent shows that have been very light on Japanese talent, but some of the original DGUSA 'supershow' events were really good. As for Dragon Gate recommendations, there's a bunch of matches on Dailymotion if you search - any tag matches with T-Hawk & Eita are worth a shot, great young tag team who made a good case for Japanese tag team of the year. Also, YAMATO had a good year, his title reign was very enjoyable.

Yoshiaki Fujiwara tried to wrestle a bear. Not a trained bear, not a wrestling bear. A wild bear;

Goldeneye Reloaded is a really good Call of Duty game with Daniel Craig in. I enjoyed it.
Strobogo, I'm going to go with one you haven't even mentioned. My recommendation is 007 Racing for the PS1!

I actually remember liking this. It's probably terrible, but I had fun with it as a kid.

I played it again a year or so ago. It doesn't hold quite as well, but it's still fun.

Shadow Warrior is pretty dang fun. Quite campy but much more fun than I was expecting.

Man how has no wrestler done the never dude gimmick yet?

I have a feeling my GAF SS got me a wrestling t-shirt then saw my post in here saying 'I hope I don't get a wrestling t-shirt from my GAF SS lol'... as I got nothing in the end haha
I don't play FPS shooter games so I'm easily satisfied with shitty ones. My liberried almost always had Legends in so I'll probably get that when I take back the movies.
Maybe I'll just....play them all.

I like Tenryu's, but it's more of a derisive look that says "you ain't shit" before he absolutely batters you.

I've only played agent under fire and nightfire. Agent under fire is pretty good, but nightfire is great

The Goldeneye made by Activision is good, not the one by EA. The good EA one is the original entry with Brosnan and Heidi Klum.
or this

How much did you like Brosnan? Everything or Nothing is a fantastic game and I thought Nightfire was pretty decent. Don't know much about anything else.
Looking back in this year in games; I really loved the shit out of Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Didn't come out this year but it was one of the most thoroughly enjoyable games I've played this year.
I'm going to play EoN and FRWL on PS2 and then 007 Legends for 360. I'm also convinced the E to C transition from Goldfinger is the greatest of all time. I haven't been able to get it out of my head for a week. Just the E to C over and over.
I did CTRL+F for "- A" and the only result was one of Bootaaay's posts.

They used to do this shit all the time during the beginning of the brand split and I never understood it. They ran Smackdown house shows on Monday nights.

Much better, straight away I knewIn Your House 12: It's Time - C was the one with Vader! I sort of enjoyed those themed IYHs in a strange way though they were very 80s/90s by nature.
EDIT:
Oh shit it isn't the Vader one! I know nothing. Shame on my house. Much learning to do.

That would sell out colosseums in Mexico. So sad.
I didn't expect to like Inoki/Brisco as much as I did. I love Jack Brisco, especially tagging with Geralrd, but his one on ones can be a bit slow because Jack works a mat style like nobody else. I mean, you watch Jack Brisco wrestling, and it's almost like a completely different set of rules. And I'm so-so on Inoki. He works well with the right opponents or the right storyline, but I wasn't expecting much from this one.
It's great. Watch it if you haven't seen it. Make no mistakes, it is a mat wrestling exhibition. It's so much a mat wrestling exhibition that there's a part where Jack elbows Inoki to get out of a hold and Inoki acts like 'oh you wanna fight for real now?' then Jack gets ready to go to fisticuffs, but they resume back to constant lockups and transitions. Jack even does what looked like a DDT(in 1975) but it was a switch into a pin that I had never seen before. It has the same pacing and wear and tear on the wrestlers like a typical wrestling punch kick affair, but it's so much more scientific. It's almost like they're wrestling for points. There's a part with Inoki grounding Brisco with a headlock and Jack constantly transitions it to a pin attempt, multiple times. It's actual wrestling transitions rather than 'ok hold my hand and i'm gonna do some moves then i'll hold your hand and you can do some moves.' There's a part with Inoki where he's got Jack set up for some submission move, and I didn't even see him roll into it and suddenly he had this great leglock. I don't even know what you'd call it, but he makes Brisco beg for him not to fall back and apply pressure.
At this point, it's clear it's become more heated than an exhibition. When Inoki had Jack in the hold earlier, Brisco resorted to socking him in the face and choking him to get out. So it's not just mat wrasslin. I thought this transition that followed was awesome.
Inoki transitions this into a bow and arrow which I didn't show because it would run on too long, but it looked great. Inoki also followed those with a beautiful butterfly suplex.
It is pre-Hulk Hogan wrasslin. Hell, it's pre-Ric Flair wrasslin. It is wrasslin. Everything about this match is a hundred times more believable than the insanely spot driven matches of today that are clearly made with a set time limit and as many spots as possible. You can see why people thought this was real. Jack's done a good job of turning my opinion on pre-80s wrestling. Obviously Jack is an exception(a lot of wrestlers from that era called him the greatest technician of all time) and he's working with an amazing prime Inoki who's constantly learning and getting better and better, but it gives me the exact vibe of that era of wrestling and shows how it can work and how it can be competitive and dramatic rather than slow and pointless.

Vader wasn't on it. It was named after him and then he got injured. Zach is going to realize Vader's whole WWF run was garbage. He was booked TERRIBLY.
