This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]474951[/split]
Interesting. It has now gotten to the point where it has become a raw talent for Bryan and as long as he keeps doing it, the crowd is gonna be more invested in his character.
Dang it, looks like everyone has went to bed
He sure has evolved in so many ways,improved
And just like that, I now want to buy WrestleMania. See how simple it is,WWE?
It speaks volumes on Daniel Bryan's drive and love for the art form that her he willing to improve in every way and maintain a gradually evolving character.
Someone who some considered as "boring/vanilla" as a talker/character has become one of best talkers in wrestling during his time in WWE and possibly has become the best All-Around talent in the US period.....or close to it
Pretty funny that Bryan basically got screwed at the last two Mania's, and now he might go an hour this year. Also funny that so many thought this wasn't going to happen. They had to do it, especially once they turned Batista. No Face in the main event of WM?
Your best worker was left with a sub-10min tag match on a Wrestlemania which lacked compelling matches.How'd he get screwed last year?

Not quite the top 10 I'd have chosen but an interesting read.
The WWE used to have a pretty consistent pattern with their PPVs. You would get one that was dominated by the heels and the next was almost always dominated by the faces. Given how long the heels have been dominating the PPVs, we're due for a "Faces Win" PPV. Also, given this is the first PPV to stream on the WWE Network, if they have the heels win, those subscribers are going to drop it once their 6 months is up.Liked the 'Occupy Raw' stuff. Common sense says WrestleMania has to end with Daniel Bryan lifting the belts, leading a chant of "YES!" with 75,000+ people.
But that's common sense......and this is WWE.
Yes.- Will HHH really put Daniel Bryan over clean?
- Batista came back, much like the Rock, because I'm sure he was guaranteed a title win at Mania. So how does that work?
See above.Unless WWE have agreed to pay Batista a 'compensation' type payment for going back on their deal (if Bryan wins), is he really going to be happy with losing at Mania?! Also, what comes next? So Bryan wins. OK great. Wonderful. Does he then feud with Batista? Orton? HHH? Cena? Does the Authority storyline finish? If Bryan wins, it's hard to see what the next angle is. But if he DOESN'T win, it's the biggest screwjob ever, and you've got months of story leading to SummerSlam......

I don't buy the idea that Batista was promised a title win at Mania - I know it's a popular opinion online, but I just don't see it personally. That being said, I do think he'll get the title at some point in his two-year run. Right now just isn't the time for two main reasons:
1) He's not yet in ring-shape
2) It's Daniel Bryan's time
And now, it's time for an UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT - while Daniel Bryan is unquestionably deserving of leaving Mania with the title, I think a long reign as champion isn't the best booking decision for his character. I love the guy to death and he deserves a top spot on the card, period. But I truly believe the money for him will always be in the chase & not necessarily as "the guy." Kinda like Jeff Hardy's WWE career... Jeff got the title a few times, but never had a lengthy reign. Now there's probably other reasons for that (a history of being unreliable being the main one), but a lot of was because he was a great underdog.
Daniel Bryan may be the best (and probably most successful) underdog in the history of WWE. While he's certainly capable of being "the guy," since he proved it in ROH, it makes me wonder the best course of action for him. I really have no clue how they're going to book him, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a 2 or 3 month title reign before getting screwed over by Batista. I know fans won't like it, but I'd understand it from a storyline perspective. I don't think we'll see Bryan get a reign like Punk (if anyone ever does again), but I'm certainly curious to see how long they'd run with him as champ.
What are people's thoughts on this? What's an acceptable length reign of Bryan as champion to you?
