That was in the Summer when Bryan was injured, not on TV and his merch wasn't as pushed at everyone else for obvious reasons (he wasn't n TV).
Before that. He was the n°2 behind Cena.
The reaction to that shouldn't be "see, he's not a difference maker!". Instead is should be "how can we make this guy who gets the biggest reactions and has people hijacking shows reach the n°1 spot". THAT'S the problem I and many other have with the way Daniel Bryan is booked. Instead they just half ass - by giving him a push, not THE push - it with him and get mediocre results. Makes no sense.
That's the mentality that makes no damn sense breh.
As a promoter you shouldn't go "eh, he's the most over dude in my roster but he's not blowing everyone away drawing wise. Let's cool him down". Your job as a promoter is make the most out of someone that gets the reactions that Bryan has.
Rock and Austin weren't selling out places from day 1. shyt, it took a year for Austin to skyrocket.
in the post you quoted I specifically said they do push Bryan. Just not as much as they should for a guy who was as over as he was.
I'm not talking about Reigns or any of that shyt, don't know why you are bringing him up. It's funny though how no one in WWE holds against Roman the fact that he's the n°3 or 4 most over babyface. Has no merch numbers to show and isn't being given the responsibility to draw house shows. That double standard is worthy of criticism, right?
where are you getting your figures from if not dirt sheets ?? Micheal Hayes ?stock report ? Meltzer isn't cosigning reigns so stop it maybe bryan isn't doing the numbers you think he is .if he was doing Austin /rock numbers ok but if he's doing comparable numbers to others even after maineventing last mania idk what to say .Bryan got put over cena clean for the belt and headlined mania yet you act like he's being rydered. Maybe if bryan had better shirts his stuff would sell more. I can't wait for some negative report on reigns from meltzer that you run in here and post .
but to me I think the way people are acting is if they just fired dbry . He can get another chance all we have to do is keep supporting him and let reigns flop ( now if he doesn't flop then I guess vince was right ) this mania build to me isn't the best nor worse . People complain about stuff like orton , he got jumped by the authority and his character is a conniving psycho why would he run out and then get out numbered again ? He has no allies in the locker room storyline wise so it was smart to weasel his way close to Seth. And the wyatt feud he has a better reason to fight taker than punk , hhh or lesnar yet people act like his logic is stupid . ( I have no idea how the match will be but that's neither here nor there ) some of this is just complaining
