The way they wrote Bryan out

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Makes Kane look a massive threat, so it was a good way imo.

Even a 10 year old wouldn't buy Kane as a threat to DB's title.

I guess that leaves the 8 and 9 year olds.

Of course he's not going to win the title. I think this segment was more of a notice that Kane won't be lying down in the title match, that it will be a tough fight.. but yeah, there is no threat to Bryan's title in this match. WWE is so predictable nowadays that it is few and far between that a true fan can't guess the outcome of a match, what happens in the ring before a win or loss is what matters and I think it will be an entertaining match from both wrestlers before Bryan retains.

Hope you enjoy it man, doubt I check it out.

I'm just hoping WWE gets it right and puts that shitty match on in the middle of the show. Wyatt/Cena and Evolution/Shield are bigger matches.

Good segment, but it was just the standard "my gawd, Kane's a monster again!!1!" How many times have we seen this, and how long does the reinvigoration of Kane's monstrosity ever last? In this case, it looks like it'll last all of two weeks since that's the amount of time between Raw this past Monday and Extreme Rules... unless they go and book a rematch between them at Payback ( I have a bad gut feeling over that one for some reason), but I'm really hoping my intuition is wrong on that one. If the Bray/Cena feud ends at ER, then I'm thinking Bryan/Wyatt happens at Payback.

The match should be good, though. And I guess it's cool that the history between Daniel Bryan and Kane is wrapped up for good exactly one year after they last teamed together on the same PPV.

Personally I think the idea of Kane beating the shit out of your world champ in 2014 sucks, or being involved in a title feud at all... fuck Kane lol. Go away. Retire bro.

Let me play the hipster role here, or the D'Z role from earlier this year, or the NFL Rain role, or... whatever lol

In a perfect world, we could get HHH vs Bryan, Hunter's lackies + Flair vs the Shield, and Kane vs some veteran at a libertarian rally off our TV. Apparently Triple H has a leg injury going into this feud with the Shield, and he won't be nearly 100%. So maybe it's better off that he is limited in a tag match and appreciate him even doing that for us.

And while it would technically be better for this IC title tournament to be for the World Title since there's 6 world champs in it + Barrett and Cesaro (who could win and give us an IWC dream match), that would make no sense in kayfabe. And while nobody could possibly care about Bryan vs Kane, it keeps the Authority storyline alive and even makes it better by pissing off the IWC yet again.

Smarks are the new marks.

I don't see too many people complaining about Bryan v Kane. It's The Authority's last chance to take Bryan down, unleashing their monster, so it makes perfect sense. There's no one else to face Bryan right now that could fit in the angle. Also, there are two other sick matches happening in Evolution/Shield and Cena/Wyatt.

 

[Snowman1]

Much of the complaining I see is because Dolph's is right, Evolution vs Shield has to be the ME of this show.

How does it make sense? Kane doesn't make a pimple on HHH's gorgeous ass in kayfabe booking. Kane jobs his ass off, so if HHH can't get it done "unleashing their monster" of Kane is like "well, our samurai sword didn't work, let's see if we can kill it with this rusty spoon!"

Because the remasking represents a fresh start for Kane, making him look stronger. Of course, kayfabe HHH is more of a threat but he lost at WrestleMania. Bryan has no recent wins over a masked Kane, as lame as that sounds.

 

[The GOAT]

I don't really have much of a problem with Bryan/Kane happening either. Of course Bryan/HHH II would have been much better (especially given that HHH seems to really excel in gimmick matches), but I can't really complain about The Shield versus Evolution.

 

[Prince Bálor]

I'm amazed Bryan even wanted to go to work after receiving such devastating news about his father's passing.

But, 'the writing off' was done very good, even though I'm not a fan of Kane. Can't wait to see DBry back at ER!

 

[Leo C]

I really hope we get HHH challenging DB for the belt again later.

 

[Prince Bálor]

^ Yeah, that'd be good for business. What would be really cool is if DBry broke CM Punk's title run of 434 days.
