WWF was drawing insane numbers because of Austin/McMahon.

I don't think you waste a money maker like Strephanie getting her comeuppance on a Raw....a mixed tag would draw.

She can appear on PPV just not in a headline match, the jury is still out on if she would draw in that role.

My point on the attitude era thing is that the product was so over than it didn't make that much difference who Austin was against at the time. Also I am willing to bet than just as many people ordered that rumble for Foley-Rock. Some feel than the Austin-Mcmahon feud had peaked.

Rumble 99 drew monstrous numbers and so did St. Valentines Day massacre. Both were based off Austin getting his hands on MacMahon. Rock/Mankind was B plot and didn't even mainevent.

I certainly think Triple H, Stephanie,Bryan and Brie could mainevent a PPV and bring in good numbers.

Honestly I'd rather Bryan be kept away from the Authority/WWE Title for a while after he returns, this feuds gone on for nearly a year already and I'm sorry but Bryan just doesn't have the charisma to make it as interesting as Austin did. HHH and Orton constantly putting the guy over got stale.

i think there is plently of juice left in this feud. I mean after everything, the Authority did win. It would be awesome to see DB go on a rampage and terrorize everyone in an angry fashion. YOU GOTTA GET MEANN...

So their lack of top heels is your issue and not the storyline itself. Solidify Swagger as a threat, test the waters with Cesaro in a one off PPV match, turn Sheamus because there are too many faces lately, and they have history. Blame the lack of depth.

Anyways, I could see the mixed tag working best as a return angle. Add the Brie gets her job back stip, last minute reveal the tornado tag street fight so Nicki can beat the crap out of Brie and cost her job for abandoning her.

Part of it, but Bryan doesn't really appeal to me, underdog gimmick which we've seen a thousand times before, he's a great in ring wrestler but meh everywhere else to me. I'd rather not have the WWE revolve around him like it has the past year.

As long as they give Bryan fresh guys to face then I can still see legs in that feud.

Thats for sure...but I think we may find out at MITB now that DB is kicking off the show.

Bryan looks and plays the victim to a tee, you cant make a guy like that into a badass because it has no credibility. He weighs 150lbs soaking wet, only guy he could terrorise is that midget messican mascot.

If they gave Bryan a pedophile or wife beater gimmick I think he could get over as an opening match guy, time to admit he was a colossal failure and repackage imo.

You trippen! Are you undercover for the Authority?? B+ player? HMMMM
Bryan could easily terrorize all of em! Drop em in a yes lock, and make em tap quicker than you could say RKO.

Word is that Daniel Bryan may now need shoulder surgery. A full exam recently revealed a lot of different shoulder and neck issues that Bryan has.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding Bryan’s condition, he is out of all WWE plans and there is no internal estimate on when he will be back.

Looks like he ain't coming back anytime soon......bi=ut it's the Observer, take it with a grain or two.

Lame but we kind of already knew that there was no time table for his return.

Seth Rollins can't replace him, couldn't in Ring of Honor with his lackluster title reign and he won't be able to here but in the meanwhile WWE is still puttin' on some fantastic matches so eh, whatever.
