Bryan is a very articulate and intelligent guy. He may not have an abundance of sizzle on the mic, but he's much better than Jeff Hardy, or Lesnar, or Batista, or Rey.

He's become quite good IMO. He's not dazzling like Punk and Cena but he's above a lot of guys.

Agreed.

 

[TheFuture]

I love how they only seem to apply this "but is he good on the mic?" mantra to the smaller guys, because **** knows I've had to endure them constantly and unrelentingly forcing talentless meatheads down my throat over the years.

Something tells me that even if Reigns REGRESSED on the mic, they'll still be pushing him to the moon and in our faces.

I always feel Bryan's biggest problem is they won't let him be himself on the mic. He is a intelligent, low key guy, with a good bit of wit and humor. But he is asked to go out there and be loud and typical babyface, and it doesn't come off as natural imo.

Another source for PWInsider says that Punk’s final WWE goal was to headline a WrestleMania. Prior to Batista signing, Punk was indeed scheduled to win the Royal Rumble and main event the big show against Randy Orton. Most likely, this change is what set him off.

He should have main evented against Cena. Granted Orton and Punk do have good in ring chemistry, but Punk vs Cena is always just magic.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Punk walks out?!!



I'm guessing he's pissed off Batista won the Royal Rumble instead of him (he was originally going to win it.) I don't blame him.

I'm not shocked.

At all.

I'm shocked that he only now walked out. Also, that many others have yet to walk out.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It should have been Bryan vs. Punk.

 

[Wheels]

If this is true then a big **** you goes out to Vince and Head of Talent and Live Events Triple H.

 

[Lobo]

Well apparently the only reason this guy wasn't on the roster is he was too CM Punkish looking

Maybe he'll get the call up. But seriously, they need to make a change, before Ziggler, and others follow Punk out the door. And when they do, this time it won't be a storyline.

This.

Punk vs. Cena was the planned main event all year long. Hence, why Punk and Cena never faced each other last year following WrestleMania 29.

Now granted, one believes Punk would've been more than glad to give up his spot to Bryan (who became massively over this past year), or work a program w/ Bryan, but to get passed over, AND have his buddy get screwed over (despite how over he is) is likely too much.

Mania should've been Best in the World vs. Most Popular in the World (because face it, that's what Bryan is.

Or, it should've been Punk/Bryan/Cena, which they were planning in October , before they decided to **** all 3 over in favor of Orton/Batista.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Triple threats are never the answer imo. WM XX is like the one exception.

 

[Lobo]

.Remember when we thought Triple H being in charge would help things? Now we have his Evolution buddies main eventing Mania 30 for the title, his DX buddies as tag team champions of the world, Bryan and Punk shafted out of spots that they've worked years for to be in. I can really see Ziggler, and maybe even ADR taking a leave of absence as well.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

People thought that would help things, really? HHH is the king of nepotism.

Look at NXT and the tag division. It's not hard to see why people had hope.

[DarthSkywalker]

I just figured out how to fix WM. They need to go WM X, and have Bryan vs. HHH, and if Bryan wins he gets to take on the win of Batista/Orton in the real main event.

Play to HHH's arrogance and lack of confidence in Bryan. No way Bryan could beat him anyways, so why not make it a stipulation.

HHH is acting like he always has. To think he would actually not play the buddy card is crazy.

Yeah but the guy has been behind some really great things as of late. People were willing to give him a chance based on that.

 

[Rincewind]

People thought that, at the very least, Triple H wouldn't be as out of touch as Vince is and that him being a (semi-retired) actual wrestler would mean that he'd push the company in a better and a more sensible direction. To a certain degree this has happened, if we see the relatively rejuvenated Tag Devision and the new talent like the Shield or Bray Wyatt etc. Not to mention NXT.

But, yeah, Triple H seems to be as inept as Vince with the Main Event guys - nobody gives a damn about Orton, Batsta's return backfired badly, Lesnar is a has-been with limited dates, Cena is stale as s**t, Sheamus is just Irish Cena and so on. Bryan is HOT right now, but I fear that they will murder his momentum.
And, if the rumors are true, Punk has walked out. Which is bad.

And that is on those foolish enough to believe it. Fool me once... with HHH this is time 3000.

Fair enough. NXT is booked and put together damn well though and it's his baby. He and Dusty run that.

That is because Triple H doesn't have a ton of friends to populate NXT. He is too busy putting them in the main event and giving them titles.

They could do like Jim Ross did back in the '90s and have Michael Cole go heel again and introduce him as "CM Punk".

Of course I am just joking because that is a terrible idea, and I'm pretty sure Punk owns the name.
