What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
We're on the same page here. Vince didn't believe in Bryan as champion and had it not been for the injury, it would have been one of the WOAT title reigns.
What did you miss from my comment?

INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
Thanks for clarifying this.
Agree to agree.
Not going on any Daniel bryan, bryan danielson slander or neg style anything.
If not for d bry.
Wwe would have never been watchable.
after roh tv on direct TV debuted. Where bryan was plucked from.
to try to bury roh.
like their raids of other promotions.

Everyone in the 80s came from somewhere, if we being honest... nobody except promoters' kids started at one place and stayed there forever. Savage was a star in one state (where his father ran the show)... let's not act like he was already Ric Flair level when he got to the WWF. A lot of their top stars from that era, whether they wrestled elsewhere before or not, are most known for their time in the WWF- that's just a fact. Even someone like a Ted DiBiase- is he the great heel from Mid-South with the black glove or is he the Million Dollar Man? Saying Hogan or (especially) Savage were already the stars they became while in WWF is like saying Sting isn't a WCW star because he already had that gimmick under Bill Watts. "Organically created stars" is a short-ass list in any company... they all became stars after years of development and promotion, usually after they've performed in more than one company. It's not a cut-and-dry thing with any of these. I'd never say it was all 100% Vince, but it isn't 100% anybody.

That’s unfair to say. Austin had a feud with Mick/Dude Love after he won and Mick wasn’t even in the main event scene. It wasn’t until late 98 Mick actually became a popular wrestler in that scene.
But Danielson did end up having a nice run as champ twice: the yes/no reign is what elevated him and the Planet’s Champion was gold even if it didn’t last long.

Austin was undeniable and he was going to be fine regardless. Vince didn't need to cave to the fans to put him in the main event. Bryan was going to face Sheamus at WrestleMania and didn't even enter the Rumble. It took a lot for him to end up in the position he was in. Then he's just a placeholder until Brock comes back and squashes him at SummerSlam.
Even when Bryan came back from injury, he was in the midcard again. His reign as the Planet's Champion was the first time it felt like he had the belt as an established main eventer. Even if he went back to the midcard after that, he was a made man, so it wouldn't have mattered. His first two title reigns were sketchy in comparison.
This made me look up Brock selling Buffalo steaksBryan is an elite talent and he can deliver MOMENTS that make you remember why you love this business.
Bryan is NOT the guy you send on press junkets and TV shows for the majority of the year because he's too authentic, too honest, and doesn't fit in a corporate setting. He'll come out of Good Morning America with the execs in his ear like
"Daniel WTF do you mean we support veganism and sustainable products?! Muthafukka have you seen our sponsors? We slinging beef jerky and Brock's line of buffalo steaks! I'm not even going to touch that condemnation of Donald, Twitter and TikTok are already memeing our entire executive board at Mar A Lago. Get your ass back to HQ and Hell no (No Kane) you can't bike there so don't ask again."
He'd have this company in shambles, banned from Saudi inside a week.
Apparently Brock gave Cody a whole cow worth of steaks after their feud

You’re arguing stuff unrelated to what you said. You think his reign woulda been weak based on a “what if” and only one short program with Kane. A feud with Kane made sense because they were a tag team that were actually fan favorites. You don’t know how the program would have went since it didn’t last long.
I countered your reply based on his success as the Planet’s Champion and his rise with yes/no on top of how Austin’s first defense program went.

But we know the plan was for him to get squahsed by Brock as a "reality check." Given how Vince has booked technical guys who he doesn't see as true top guys when they're world champions, it's almost guranteed he would've had a Rey Mysterio/08 Punk type reign.

Brock and Bryan ended up having a match at SS and it wasn’t even a squash.
We don’t know if he woulda got that Kofi treatment because it didn’t happen, just like his first double title reign didn’t even have enough time to progress.

An entire four years later, in a match that wasn't even for the title. Vince booked CENA to get squashed by that dude, it was happening to Bryan and the story about that being planned for Bryan originally had leaked around that time

Ah yeah, forgot about that. Him getting squashed is irrelevant if Cena got that treatment.
Still not fair to judge something (his second title run) when it didn’t even have time to cook. It doesn’t matter anyways since he ended up having 2 runs as champ that helped his career.
