It doesn't matter who you put Bryan with at Mania...it's gonna be a near classic. He's one of the greatest workers of the last two generations. He's been held back in tag matches and pre show bullshyt with pale looking motherfukkers. Punk has had multiple matches at Mania..the ones anyone cared about were spotfests and the usual good Taker match that we see every year these days.
If we focus on just his singles matches Punk's had at mania. I think they were Orton, Jericho, and Undertaker. All 3 matches were good to me. With Punk, it seems like if he's into the fued or match he usually goes all out, but you give him bullshyt, he just goes through the motions. You put him in a feud with somebody he likes to work with, you usually get good to great results.
And let's not act like Punk ain't been put in bullshyt either the first title feud with the WHC belt which lead to him getting jumped by legacy and punted by Orton, he had to forfeit the title, and no payoff came from that, the second run with the WHC title and the whole "suitgate" shyt with Undertaker, and especially after the whole pipebomb shyt, Punk was at the top of his shyt, and dude had everybody going nuts, and the whole storyline had potential to be great, but then he was put into the Boxcar Kids mystery trying to figure out who put the call into Nash, which lead to a shyt match match with HHH and then with Del Rio, good match, but shytty story.
