I really have a hard time judging the overness of a lot of today's guys in the grand scheme of things. Is Daniel Bryan more over and a bigger star in the wrestling business than someone like, say, Scott Hall? Whatever period you consider to be the height of Scott Hall's career.

Scott Hall in the early NWO was way bigger and more over than Bryan has ever been, but whether or not he as an individual was as over is debatable.

Honestly it's difficult to compare guys from two different eras. The most you can really do is compare stats such as house show attendances of shows they headlined/were heavily advertised for, pay per view buyrates of shows they main evented, and merchandise sales of one guy compared to the other. And those exact numbers aren't readily available to the public for the most part so it's quite difficult to calculate.

I can never remember the arena audience reacting to Hall like they do for Bryan.
But I'm still not sure. The crowd loved Hall during a very hot time in wrestling. He didn't have a 'Yes!' that got the crowed worked up into a frenzy, but his crowds loved the interactive 'surveys' he did.
It's tough to say who is more over. Wrestling felt so much hotter back during Hall's run in WCW.

During the nWo days a rolling tumbleweed was over like crazy, but Bryan is more over with the crowd in a time when its VERY difficult to gain/keep momentum.
Like, with today's audience, I question how over a Hall in his prime would be.

It's important to note that today's superstars have less than half the audience of 90s stars.

Cena is kind of the exception, but I'd still say he has less fans than, say, Mick Foley or even a Booker T. I don't know if that quite translates to "overness" but it's worth considering.
