"Dan-iel Bry-an...Dan-iel Bry-an...Dan-iel Bry-an" WWE Raw 2-8-16 Live From Seattle, WA

There's a difference between popularity and recognisability, yall. To be popular, you have to be liked. DB is more beloved, thus he is more popular. Maybe cena is more recognizable, who knows, but that's not the argument.

Sad that this has to be explained to grown adults.

Bryan would have shot up to my favorite wrestler in history had he hit Brie with a flying knee when she got in the ring

Not to get ahead of myself from watching more (decided to entertain myself for a bit this week), but I'm at the opening segment and I see a sign in the crowd about threatened marine turtles from Australia. I'm over here like, what does that have to do with wrestling? Is there an outside storyline I missed?

 

[Zero]

Recognizable? People know of Cena but POPULAR WISE? No fukking way he's more popular than Daniel Bryan. This isn't 2005, folks.

Breh, I don't fukk with Cena at all but if he retired next week, it would be a much bigger story than this here.

I haven't watched yet but this news overshadows the rest of the show, I'm only going to skip to this part then turn the show off...It sucks he had to call it quits so early in his wwe run but concussions have been overlooked for too long in sports... Lets hope AJ, Sami or Nakamura can be the next guy cause roman aint it..

it would be a bigger STORY but I don't think the reactions amongst the fans would be the same, he really isn't that popular amongst the "wrestling fans" the wwe "universe" love him but they don't cheer him like they cheered Bryan.

No. It wouldnt. He would get mocked and hate celebrations like never seen before for a top star. Probably some "Good Riddance" and "Stay Retired" chants...during whatever speech he gives.

Roman is going to be the top guy whether people like it or not. He's winning at Wrestlemania and he's going to have a long title reign and most likely will be filling Cena's role in the company. I think he has the potential to be better than Cena and already is showing signs of that.

The fans are gonna get behind Cesaro big later this year though...so Roman has a hard long road ahead.

 

[jackswstd]

Y'all couldn't wait 24 hours before turning this shyt into a pissing contest about whose retirement will mean more?

He's going to have a long road regardless. He'll be fine.

I don't want to get into a back and fourth, but I find it hard to believe that whoever the wwe considers it real fans or whoever they feel spend the most money on their product, 100% buy Roman Reigns.. The reaction Bryan got was authentic he had random colleges and other people outside of the wwe doing that yes chant without in major push or verbal support from wwe.. Until you can get love from all of your fans and not just kids and women that think they are hot then you are'nt that guy... Wwe can push and get behind all of the people they want, they can get these dudes all the sponsors and make them look like superstars but Cena and reigns aren't loved like Hogan, savage, warrior, stone cold rock or even taker was. Bryan would have got their if not for injuries, but Cena was only popular to a certain extent he is respected but not on anyone's top 5 list.... You see what I am trying to say, you cant force people to just get behind a certain guy

 

[MenacingMonk]

So I ended up shedding some tears when I saw the speech; a little more than I thought.

A grown ass man shedding some tears over wrestling.

It's still real to me, dammit.
