Does the word summary even apply to how you reply here? Learn to reply without a 300 word essay response.

It should be well known by now that I have a sickness that doesn't allow me to make short posts. I always feel I'm leaving something out or that I'm not elaborating my point enough. But if it makes you feel better, here's the shorter version:

Wrestlemania has been the end of the great journey to finally capture the WWE Championship (sometimes for the first time, sometimes for the second/third/fourth/etc. time) for a good number of superstars, including Austin, Bret, Triple H, Undertaker, Michaels, Batista (technically the WHC for him), and of course, John Cena. Considering that and considering Bryan has already been screwed enough over the past several months and being screwed again would just be more of the same old, they should have the good sense to book this as the big moment where Bryan finally captures the gold and gets an actual run with it.

lmao save that bullshit response for when you close the thread and i cant respond.

There is no bigger WWE man than HHH. He has two of the 3 biggest crowd pops of all time. Lesnar is a part timer who HHH put over and Taker is going to be winning in a walker a few years from now.

Oh, I definitely expect Triple H to get involved, just that he won't succeed in keeping Bryan from winning the championship.
exactly, WWE won't let DB go big over Triple H and then compete for the championship on the same night just to have him lose. Once he beats the game, it'll be over. But, if there's going to be an attacking, or even a possibility of DB not winning, it'll happen in the title match. He's guaranteed to beat the game now.

If we're looking at scenarios where Bryan doesn't go on to win the belt, then I think the most likely would be Bryan being attacked by Hunter with a sledgehammer, after he's beaten him, until Bryan is laid out, covered in blood. Bryan can't compete in the title match and Taker v Brock closes the show. But, I don't see Bryan not winning the title here, otherwise making this stipulation is pointless as it has ruined his feud against Hunter for myself and many other people. The whole thing is so shit. They're paying the price for months of terrible booking decisions.

I can't see Bryan not competing in the title match, but it could be a good idea if after Triple H lost to him, he laid Bryan out with the sledge hammer and caused Bryan to miss at least around the first half (or about the first quarter) of the championship match between Orton and Batista. The match starts and Bryan doesn't make an entrance, only Orton and Batista do. So the fans are worried that Bryan is too hurt to compete and they start booing the hell out of Orton and Batista and keep chanting Bryan's name, hoping desperately that at any moment, he will. And then around midway through the match, he finally does (hurt and all) and manages to just barely pull off a victory and win the gold.

Bryan wrestling and winning two matches in the same night is one thing, but surviving HHH's brutal and physical attack on him and STILL managing to limp out and pull off the victory of a lifetime? He'd look like the resilient underdog more than ever before.

Couldn't agree more...

Here is my problem with the stipulation.

HHH is supposed to be the fucking man, right? He goes HARD at Mania. It is enough of a stretch for me to buy DB going over him, OK, fine, its wrestling, let me suspend that disbelief.

So DB goes over HHH in what we imagine will be a war. Anyone remember Mania 27?? The fucking GOD of Mania had to be taken out on a STRETCHER after beating HHH in a Mania match... but I'm supposed to believe DB can not only beat HHH at Mania but compete in a triple threat match afterward? Sorry, its a fucking stupid stipulation.

I agree somewhat but I learned to accept those sort of inconsistencies in wrestling a long time ago. The problem is that Bryan should have won the Rumble and been in the championship match from the get-go and held off his match with Triple H till later, or they should have just booked the match between he and Triple H as the main event of the show (since it is the hottest feud in the company right now) but I guess the latter option wasn't preferable given that they'd want the championship to headline an anniversary Wrestlemania.

so dumb to think that way. Some things are bigger than the title, who cares? DB going over HHH to end Mania in the main event would have been great for everyone. I really doubt as the fireworks go off and Cole is like DB TAKES DOWN HHH! HE TAKES DOWN THE AUTHORITY! the marks are really going to be sitting there with their arms crossed like "I wanted DB to win the championship. :(( "

I don't agree with the mentality either, just saying that's how WWE sees it. If anything, they could have played Bryan headlining over Batista and his world title match with Orton into the feud between the two immediately following Mania. Batista wins the strap and then says the next night (or sometime in the following weeks) that despite the fact that he won the Rumble and earned the shot to compete for the world championship, Daniel Bryan still got to headline Wrestlemania over him. It could only make Batista's disdain for Bryan (and the audience who cheers him) grow even more. The fans showed him no respect when he won the Rumble and also booed him mercilessly when he won the strap at Mania and continued to cheer for a vanilla midget (I'm surprised they haven't used that term on-screen yet) over a real superstar like him. This sort of causes him to flip his shit and target Bryan and attempt to destroy him (imagine a beat down akin to what he gave Rey Mysterio in 2009) and end his career just to spite both him and the fans. The two then feud over a 2-3 month period and it all culminates in Daniel Bryan winning the title. I actually would have preferred they booked it this way actually.
