Remember in 2014 when everyone wanted Bryan to win the rumble too and when poor Rey Mysterio came out at #30 they booed the fuck out of him bc it meant Bryan wasn't even in the match

That was Rey's return from long-term injury too

so what ur saying is bryan was always the most over guy on the roster when healthy and they just refused to pushhim like they did the otherguys they liked?

 

[Comrade Khan]

poor rey tho

 

[Smart Marx]

not pushing danielson is always a mistake

I mean, he just won the title the year prior and had to vacate it a month later.

I don’t blame WWE for going a different way. Bryan was never going to be their top guy.

Just be happy he got that 30 win.

 

[Comrade Khan]

thats harsh a.f lol

I remember Daniel Bryan entering the match and the fans were SO hype and then he randomly gets eliminated after like five minutes and I just shook my head in disbelief and I was like “welp here we go. This match is fucked.”

That's the problem - the idea that there has to be one top guy, one ace, one figurehead

 

[Comrade Khan]

and now bryan is a fucking GOD

 

[Leon TrotSky]

One reliable guy that you build around

 

[Leon TrotSky]

And there really doesn't? That inherently limits the booking

Welcome to wrestling since forever.

 

[Sabretooth]

And then the fans booed THE ROCK when he came out to help Roman lmao. How do you manage that

 

[Comrade Khan]

to be fair NJPW used to book like that too until very recently

 

[Comrade Khan]

it just doesnt make sense for wwe to do it when they had 200 on the roster and 5 brands to run
