The match doesn't interest me much because the storyline doesn't interest me. I hate to be over-analytical and suck the fun out of it, but I generally don't like just watching people wrestle, I usually like for there to be a strong angle behind it, and short of Rock turning heel (which would probably feel arbitrary if it happened before WM31), I don't see a whole lot of sense for it to happen this year.
And to be honest, I doubt I'd care much for this at all unless The Rock were a heel, and I don't know if he can ever be one again. Even when he tried being one again in 2003 with his awesome Hollywood Rock persona, it took the audience all of about three months before they started cheering him again.
If The Rock were a heel though, this feud would be gold. Daniel Bryan's looks, personality, silly YES chant, and neckbeard fan-base would just be too easy for The Rock to make fun of and make derogatory and disparaging remarks about. Not to mention offering The People's Strudel to his wife, Brie. In return, Bryan could proclaim that he is the real People's Champion (which he kinda is present day since he has almost undying and unwavering support from the people) and end up challenging The Rock to a big match at Wrestlemania to prove he deserves to be in the same echelon as The Great One, etc. But I don't see any remote chance of this happening at WM31.
The storyline doesn't interest you? Well, mine was just some example quotes of The Rock talking trash. But they could easily develop an angle on this....For example, Bryan could come out after beating Kane the following week on Raw and say that he may not main event Mania but he promises the fans that, going forward, he will win and be in WrestleMania. Triple H's music will hit and he comes out and states the usual, "you're a B+ player and you won't make it to Mania....I'll prove it tonight.....you're going to be teaming with a guy who's an A+ player....I don't like him very much, personally, but he's much better than you, nonetheless...that match is in the main event tonight, Bryan....you'll be facing Rollins, Big Show, and Kane.....and I know the rock will outperform you"
Later on that night, everyone will come out and DB will wait for his partner to show up....it's quiet and then you hear, "if you smell!!! what the rock is cooking!!!" The crowd of course erupts and loses it....big pop...the rock and DB shake hands...DB continues to smile as it seems to be a dream come true.
the 2 on 3 handicap match begins with The Rock....he begins kicking ass and destroying the Authority for about a good 5 mins...he then tags in DB....who dominates the Authority as well....Seth begins to mount some offence on DB....only to have DB start kicking all their asses again....the crowd will love both the rock and DB as a team.
All three members of the Authority will come in and try to attack DB....which will then lead to The Rock coming in and beating all their asses....tossing out Big Show and Kane....Rollins will slowly get up as DB prepares for a Knee Plus. At the last second, Rollins will duck causing DB to smash into the Rock with the Knee Plus. DB will try to help the Rock up and keep saying "im sorry" then Rollins will try to roll up DB... DB kicks out and lands a stiff kick to the head of Seth.
The Rock is weary as DB helps him to his feet... When The Rock gets up, he pushes DB away from him.... Seemingly talking trash... DB pushes him back... They're both face to face... Which would get a good crowd reaction I'm sure.
Seth then kicks both of them after flying off the top rope... DB is the legal man... And gets backed into the corner... He boots Seth in the face and drop kicks him down... Setting up for another Knee Plus... The Rock then tags himself in slapping DB's back... He comes into the ring and begins whooping ass.... Taunting the authority and then as he begins to nail a rock bottom... He stares at DB as he does it... He then knocks down Rollins and show... Then sets up Kane for the people's elbow as DB just keeps watching.....
The rock states at DB again right before he lands the people's elbow then he gets the pin and the win. Not keeping his eyes off DB.
The Rock wins and DB begins clapping and trying to be supportive. Then, The Rock will attempt to shake DB's hand and then quickly nail a rock bottom on DB.
Pounding his chest yelling "you don't put ur hands on me kid"
DB will come out the following week to address the situation only to be interrupted again by the authority. Triple h will state that last week proved that Daniel can't handle the A + wrestlers thus he can't be at an A + PPV... Then, as hunter walks away, DB will say "I thought you're about what's best for business, hunter? .... You always claim that you'll do what would and will sell and you're all about the WWE universe, right?" Hunter says, "yes, what's your point?" DB says, "Well, hunter, I feel that these people want to see myself not only perform at WrestleMania, but face someone he never has before: The Rock!" He continues, "last week was the second time I've felt a Rock Bottom from the Rock....he did a couple years ago to make a statement and last week he did it again to make a statement...all because I accidentally hit him with my knee....come on, Hunter....these people want to see it....I need this to happen...." He pauses as Hunter seems to be thinking.....DB yells, "come on, Hunter! I not only stole the show last year....but I beat your ass and the rest of Evolution in the same night! I can beat The Rock and you know it! ask them, Hunter....Ask these people if they want to see DB vs. the rock!!" Triple H looks as if he's going to ask....DB interrupts him, "Everyone!!! Do you want to see me fight The Great One?!!?!?" Of course the fans would cheer and want it....chanting "YES!!"
Triple H will have no choice but to make this match happen and say, "congrats kid....you have your match...only this time around....you will lose, unlike last year....lighting doesn't strike twice...good luck MR. B +....you're gonna need it!"
If the feud was built in a fashion like this...I feel it would be pretty good....DB will have something to prove and overcoming the Rock would do just that.
