people fall back on this logic all the time. But does anyone ever come to the conclusion that maybe they simply just value and see more in Punk than they do Bryan? It's something to consider given how things have played out for him to this point.
also as much as he likes to play the "rebel/victim" to the media/fans. do they really treat Punk that badly? i mean really?
Why do y'all believe Bryan has been reated poorly, or any worse than Punk? Because they didn't have him win the title at some random fall PPV nobody ordered? Because they said on air "you're not championship material"? C'mon bruh, I expect kids to get worked but y'all been watching wrestling for years. And
I mean to an extent that y'all care about backstage shyt and internal meanings behind stuff that most casual fans don't care about. How many times have we seen the "guy they don't want on top goes thru numerous setbacks but eventually defies the odds" story play out? I'm really surprised that y'all don't see that shyt coming by now.
Aight, I'll put it like this: if Bryan doesn't turn up in the Rumble (and I'm just entertaining the idea cause y'all seem to have bought into it), he still ends up in the title picture for Mania by some hook or crook. I'll believe that before I believe some bullshyt report about Sheamus.
