They're obviously not trying to sabotage him. They're completely behind him now..

My thing is though the roster is stacked with talent but they run Bryan's first two title defenses against Kane of all people? The dude was jobbing in a wifebeater and dress pants less than one month ago. This isn't the days of the roster split where you can plug in Kane/Big Show/Henry into the title picture at any point. The belts are unified now.. The world title matches should never be filler now that they only have one world title. They should be running with Bryan/Cesaro or Bryan/Sheamus. Both guys aren't doing anything of note, are more over than Kane and have chemistry with Bryan. This Kane shyt just feels lazy.

...why would we do that? Just for them to job right now in meaningless main events. This shyt is all a network of people building one another up.

They're building Cesaro up and trying to give him legitimate moments against former champions in Swagger/RVD and getting the Hogan rub.

Sheamus has been busy putting heels over so they can look legit down the line. He laid down for BNB and Bray in the past month alone. Then, he takes Dean's title and gets smug about it. The turn's coming, but you can't build Rome in a day. You've got a load of characters to build. You see them trying to build The Shield up as individuals by scoring dubs on former champions, don't you? :ld:

Bray just went over Cena and he has a win over Bryan. This'll come into play later, but you've got to build the guy up as a legit threat before you send him for the gold.

Everyone needs to be legit before they come at Bryan or else we'll have a bunch of feuds at meaningless PPV's with predictable endings. "Super Bryan wins. LOL." :ld:

Let the books cook for a sec. :cook:

Also, maybe it's just my interpretation but it doesn't seem like :bryan: is being booked as if he's afraid of Kane. It looks like he's more afraid FOR Brie, since he just got married. He got out the car, but got back in b/c he didn't want Brie getting hurt. Dude gave Kane the fukking beats at ER.

:dead: at this revisionist history of Kane being the reason why D-Bry is relevant. That Team Hell No stuff was actually losing viewers due to Kane's involvement. D-Bry didn't become a consistent ratings draw until he broke free of that bum. If anything, D-Bry is the one keeping Kane relevant at the moment, and guys like The Shield and The Wyatts wouldn't even be where they are today if it wasn't for their programs with Bryan.

Daniel Bryan fans strike again. :mjlol:

Eh everyone acts scared of Kane. They just need to keep Brie away from any storyline involving Bryan. We know that's wifey she doesn't have to be by his side every minute of the show.

I don't dig it when for the past year or so they've been pushing Bryan as this little guy with the big heart that won't back down from anyone. They have this nikka running from Kane. I do agree that Brie doesn't always have to be there.

Come on, they had 2002-05 era Evolution era HHH shook of Kane. I remember he was ranting and raving in Bischoff's office and Kane just came and stood behind him on some :demonic: shyt and HHH just got quiet. Couldn't even turn around to face him. :wow: EVERYONE is shook of Kane at some point. Who the fukk is Daniel Bryan to break the trend? It doesn't matter anyway as he's going to go over Kane....AGAIN. So just sit back and deal with it.

I see, I see... :patrice:
Fell off of The E around those times so I can't recall those moments. Thank you for pointing out the error in my argument. :leostare:
I guess I'm sitting back and dealing with it then.. :ld:

Bray Wyatt was floundering before his feud with Bryan :ld:

Fans didn't start caring about The Shield until after Bryan ran through them :ld:
The first is for sure true. That whole feud brought Bray up. The Kane feud was pretty heatless and he was floundering around with Kofi Kingston until he started feuding with Punk and D Bry. He still hasn't matched the heat was getting a few months ago. Cena's getting him face pops for some reason so I can't count that.

Fans always cared about The Shield though but they were most over as heels facing Bryan.

I agree that some of the Kane-D-Bry stuff seems lazy. They could have built the Team Hell No relationship a little better - but maybe that was for the best if you think about it. But the Extreme Rules match was dope and I actually don't mind if they do one more rematch at Payback. I though they were actually going to have Shield-Evolution as the ME on Sunday but fortunately they knew better.

He's not really running. If your daughter was in harm's way, you not gonna fight and keep her in harm's way. It was just booked dumb. He doesn't fight Bryan str8 up...just like Cripple H didnt. They got Kane attacking a woman to get an advantage....what a monster heel is. Lesnar will fight Bryan str8 up...Brie or not.

The fans cared about the Shield cause Bryan and Kane kept putting them over in those 6 man's leading to Mania 29. That's why fans really cared and gave a fukk about them. Ryback took alot of ass kickings to build them up too.

Damn brehs, 100 replies in and no one mentioned his dad dying and how the bookers likely gave him a lighter storyline to work with so he could grieve.

D-bry is better than most to stay and continue to to be the face of a company while your dad died and not really miss any shows.

Like someone said, if he still facing bytch ass Kane by Summerslam then he sucks but i think booking is giving Daniel a break from his hard schedule last fall and his Road to Wrestlemania and his dad dying thats why alot of focus is on ''Cena vs Bray'' and ''Evolution vs Shield''

Summerslam is where we will see a big time title match....Cena Bryan II is quite fitting

Whoever said nobody cared about The Shield before Bryan is wrong, but the point about Bray is spot-on.

Damn near everybody in here was talking about how awful Bray was in the ring before his match with Bryan. Plus, that was The Wyatt Family's first meaningful feud (though CM Punk was also involved in the beginning).

Bryan is sabotaging Bryan.

When Russo pitched HBK a bad idea, this happened: (00:46)



Bryan is too concerned with being a dirt sheet darling. He needs to step on toes or he will be stomped.

I said it before, the guy needs to learn how to politick.
