Daniel Bryan vs Reigns was good

Bryan went straight Malenko last night. First time he wrestled like the American Dragon. I want heel Bryan embarrassing everyone by out wrestling them. Without a doubt the best

When he said "I've got till 5" I thought to myself "Well, Danny surely just marked out"

 

[Prince Bálor]

Is there any comfomation that that shitty BR is happening again? People seem to be assuming it will happen, but I haven't found and can't find a murmur about it.


The only thing that can save Ziggler's Mania season is if the DB rumors are true. I'd say it is more likely he faces Sheamus, but we can hope for DZ vs DB

I thought they mentioned at last year's Mania this BR was gonna be an annual thing. I could be wrong, though.

Yeah, Bryan seems to be DZ's savior at WM. If that happens, which I don't think it will, then MITB 2015 might be Ziggler's salvation.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Well...

 

[Danielson]

When he said "I've got till 5" I thought to myself "Well, Danny surely just marked out"

I couldn't believe it. The entire match was vintage Danielson and that's the best way for Bryan to be. His heel stuff in ROH is so good. Last night The smacks, I have till 5, and sayimg cmon big guy was great to see. I want to see I am better than you attitude, but instead of like cm suck just talking about it and sloppy as all heel in ring, he just proves it and toys with opponents. The cheap yes fans leave, but I swear if wwe idea of a heel run is him saying" no" I'll stop watching. Stupid as fuck

They mentioned it as an annual thing but that doesn't mean shit. Have you actually heard anything about it since then?

Nope.

Would love it if that thing was gone for good.

I loved the battle Royale itself. I didn't like that nothing came of it. What opportunities did it afford Cesaro? It's taken almost a year to get him back on track.

I wouldn't say he is back on track at all. He had way more momentum last year but it was all fucked up completely by his booking post-Mania. Had they properly booked his break up with Zeb and Swagger it would have been a money feud. The crowd was ready for Cesaro to turn face, they just needed the Zeb/Swagger beatdown turn segment and following feud and he was on his way.

I think WWE shied away from that angle because the crowd was liking "we the people" and they thought trying to keep Swagger/Zeb heel while getting that crowd involvement was somehow bad. Typical WWE retardation. What they wound up doing to him with Heyman instead is nothing short of criminal. Seriously whoever booked that should be arrested for attempted murder of Cesaro's career

 

[KITT]

I like how during the Stone Cold podcast, Vince just blames Cesaro's situation on his nationality.

 

[Wacokid27]

Danny wasn't the only one who marked when he pulled the "I have until 5" out of his hat.

I think they mentioned the Andre Battle Royal a couple of weeks ago on Raw, but it was just a passing remark, so no knowledge on whether or not it meant anything.

I dont see why he needs to be a heel to wrestle like he was wrestling last night. Just let him wrestle like that and be cheered for it

This is true. Dragon wrestled a great match last night (and so did Roman...don't discount how well he worked that match) and the crowd, for the most part, was behind him, as they're always behind him. His in-ring style isn't what gets people cheering for him; it's his natural charisma and "underdog vibe".

So, he could wrestle just like he did last night and still be a face....or he could work heel. I just hope, as has been mentioned, that a heel run for him is a serious heel run, not the mainly comedic heel we saw last time he worked that way.

Yeah I don't get what he did that was heelish at all. I've seen the match twice now

 

[Green Jesus]

WWE has seriously made Bryan more edgy for this feud. I'm not sure if this is a permanent thing or not, anyway, I like it. His in ring demeanor was great, his limited yessing was great. They are probably giving up on making him a classic good behaviour babyface, which is really cool. Even though I think douchebag Bryan is the best Bryan, Edgy Bryan is the next best thing.

Also kudos to wwe for making the right thing and awarding Reigns. Hope they make this build worthwhile
