Daniel Bryan can pull a CM PUNK, but it could backfire on him. It reminds me of that scene in HEAT when DeNiro faced off against Pacino: "there is a flip side to that coin".
What if Daniel Bryan confronts McMahon and McMahon and company decide to ruin his character?
It wouldn't be difficult to do. IN fact, they could spend more time on Bryan's burial then they would on his Push.
Think back to 1997/98 when Ric Flair confronted Eric Bischoff. Flair had held out for months and the fans grew "smart" about his absence. They chanted his name and hijacked matches. Bischoff and he eventually struck a deal, but it came at a great cost.
The Horsemen got a push just before Flair came back, and then WCW buried Flair. First Flair lost to Bischoff in a wrestling match--think about that. Eric Bischoff beat the 15 time world champion in a WCW wrestling match.
Later they turned Hogan face and forced the fans to choose between him and Hollywood--and the turn took place in a wrestling match as part of a double turn.
Then they buried Flair and his legacy as WCW shifted into the post-NWO era.
That's when
I stopped watching every week. Nitro allowed WCW politics to dictate bookings and storylines, and I decided to divest from WCW wrestling.
