Punk leaving is literally the only way bryan got here. They were not putting bryan in the main event and I don't know why people can't understand thag. Punk essentially sacrifices his spot maybe to save his body or whatever but all people were Asking for for years was some one new and talented to get a mania shot. Miz was terrible and wasn't what anyone wanted except vince and now he doesn't even exist so idk how that isn't the greatest fall of ever.
Bryan owes a lot to punk for leaving and forcing the company's hand along with the fans cheering but make no mistake...yall saw how that hijack raw shyt worked when the fans tried...trips and them basically rubbed it in yah faces and made money at the same tjme.
personally,..
I hope the occupy raw moment.
gave hhh and steph long term clarity in being malleable.
when, it comes to better understanding booking.
where, they stop being scared of making new stars.
or just trying to be ric flair with book.
or, flair having ole in his pocket with the book.
when, it is clear hhh missed a number of lesson with flair in the evolution days.
to learn how to properly handle having absolute power.
hopefully, it seems..
quite possibly, hhh has learned the one lesson flair did not really know.
when, flair buried sting, luger and steiner as singles stars.
was that as a heel champion..
plus, dually having control of the book.
you have to create vulnerability of the heel.
then, give the proper payoff when it was due.
to the proper workrate based talent that is significantly over, like bryan is.
as the nwa suffered when they did not elevate steiner, luger and sting to title holders, over flair.
that when they finally did get the title.
it was to long and overdue...
plus, the initial draw to see them go over fanbase wise had regressed to non-drawing levels.
as nwa never offered the proper payoff on time, for steiner, luger, sting versus the horsemen.
the wwe was headed in the same way.
before they got privy to the possible fiasco on their hands.
then, decided to book bryan's win on the fly.
dictated by how over he is,.......
not, by spreadsheet management or any other deflection based admin practice to limit bryan, erroneously.
the lesson hhh, showed in green lighting the occupy raw angle.
you would have thought maybe flair would have picked that up when duhtay was booker.
yet, I think that lesson was lost on the fact duhtay was viewed as self serving.
when, in reality...
duhtay was just trying to give nwa a certain look with a face champion.
who had a different look and story that was compelling.
to compete against the movie endorsed hulk Hogan wwf franchise, that was a larger draw.
hopefully, hhh has learned this lesson.
plus, how to book on the fly.
if hhh, learned from the lesson of the Hollywood blondes long term booking fiasco.
plus, the rick/ole, rick has control of the book situation.
he could long term do this company a lot better profitability wise.
if hhh, never learns from those distinct lessons.
the wwe could suffer another run.
where the indy heros of wrasslin had to single handidly save wrasslin.
which was singlehandedly damaged by the clique.
coupled, with hhh destroying the last boom period in the wwf, to wwe, in the 2000's.
except,..there are no indy guys from a boom period.
who are that passionate and determined to be high quality workers.
similar to that period in time...
the wwe needs a boom period, because it creates the energy.
that makes it possible to have talent that care that much to be that good as the indy heroes of wrasslin were.
if, hhh learns and is able to be objective.
when, it comes to booking and not just putting his friends in positions they don't deserve.
plus, can create new stars.
the wwe could create a new boom.
the only issue the wwe has if hhh finds how to do that is.
the wwe needs to connect with an indy like they did ecw.
as their talent raiding of stampede trained guys, or former roh guys to help nxt.
won't be able to help them, quality wise in the long term.
as the grassroots wwe template to train wrasslers is not diverse or good enough quality/experience wise.
to actually make their grassroots talent good enough to sustain a possible boom.
on top of not being good enough to sustain the quality.
of the roh talent raided guys,...
who have single handidly elevated the quality of the wwe smashmouth style.
to the point the current high quality product of the me smashmouth style.
can not be reproduced by inhouse wwe talent that have no external experience.
