Danielson has charisma, though. In the ring, he conveys emotion, he can keep people entertained and drawn into the match. Out of the ring, he CAN work the mic a lot better than they let on. No, not on a John Cena level, but on a level that is good enough for WWE, I feel. More than enough for the midcard at the very least.
As for why some people need wrestlers to have charisma (and by charisma, I'm going by the wide used definition in terms of mic and acting skills and that intangible "it" and NOT in-ring charisma), honestly, it's what sells. Blandy McBland isn't going draw people in, people aren't going to be able to relate to them. They aren't conveying enough of the right emotion to sell a gimmick or an angle. He can be awesome in the ring on a technical standpoint, but if no one gives a shit about him, on a national, WWE-level scale, it doesn't matter.
Danielson I feel is a bad example in this, because people misconstrue his booking for being a bad "entertainer". And trolls aside, you can't really blame them.
