Rone Rivendale Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 <p>I think it was a test. They wanted to see how a crowd would react to him winning the belt. This is both good and bad.</p><p> </p><p> It's good because the crowd ate it up. So obviously from a popularity standpoint, Bryan is ready to be the champion.</p><p> </p><p> It's bad because when he does eventually win the belt, it won't have the same magic to it anymore because it's been done before (even if it was taken back).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanityisforbidden Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 So not only did they pillmanize JoMo they gave him a concussion as well as a way to write him off.

OldStingberg Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 <p>I must say, I've really been enjoying the WWE lately. It seems crazy that the company of the last few weeks is the same company of the last few months.</p><p> </p><p> Survivor Series was good. I thought it could have been great if they would have done more with Zack Ryder and more with the main event, but still, it was good, and it was easily the best PPV since MitB.</p><p> </p><p> And the shows since then have been very good. Guys like Ryder, Barrett, Ziggler, Rhodes, and Bryan are getting smart pushes, Punk is doing great cutting promos against actual heels, all of the angles are simple yet effective, and they've been showcasing quality wrestling in the ring. I can't really ask for more. I hope this pays off for the WWE in the short term in terms of ratings, merch sales, and whatnot, because I'd like to see them continue in this direction.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like of all the former WWE guys other than Angle and Anderson he is the best. Never thought Jeff Hardy or RVD were really main eventers.

jjohns44 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 <p>What a match in the main event too. I'm definitely looking forward to tonight's match with D-Bryan and Mark Henry. Guess this doesn't mean it's a MITB cash-in either, but another test of the water.</p><p> He really showed he could be taken seriously in his promo with Cole and Henry last night. I would've loved to see him put Cole in a Lebell Lock just to add to the hilarity of him getting put into the Anaconda Vice, but kickin Mark in the bad leg was just enough.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldStingberg Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Bryan was awesome last night. I really hope they play out a story where he gets increasingly frustrated about not being able to win the title before finally snapping and cashing in on whichever unsuspecting face takes the belt from Henry. I think Bryan as an intense, bad ass heel would be amazing. I'm much more interested in Bryan turning heel than Cena at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtplaystew Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 <p>Bryan is definitely more aggressive and fun to watch. I hope they go with it as well. </p><p> </p><p> I'm just hoping they push him to be at that status where he CAN headline wrestlemania. I love the guy's work. I'm deeply hoping for some kind of intense Punk/Bryan feud. The two have wrestled before in the indys but I'd love to see it on the grandest stage of them all someday. Probably won't happen this year but who knows? The brands are closer together now than they've been since the split so we'll see.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now he is treading water when it comes to his WWE storylines. He knows he is getting the Rock at WrestleMania so what does he do for the next 4 months? This is going to be one of the most crucial things leading into WM. He has to stay relevant with out actually feuding with someone since we all know he is going to WM to face Rock. I am just curious what they do with him at Royal Rumble? What's the point in having him in the Rumble since we know he won't be taking on the World Champ?</p><p> </p><p> So that means he is going to need a match at Royal Rumble. Do we have him face Punk for the title to keep them both away from the Rumble? I think that's the best bet. </p><p> </p><p> I also love that they are allowing Orton to look human instead of super Cena like. Orton has reached that level that he doesn't need the title or wins to stay on top. I like how he is elevating Barrett by feuding with him. I have liked Barrett since his debut on Nxt. I think the guy has all of the 4 tools. He has a good look, good on the mic, passable in the ring, and a passion to be in the business that drives a person to be the best. I really think Barrett, Sheamus, Miz and Cody Rhodes are the future of WWE in the next 3-5 years.</p><p> </p><p> Del Rio did look good. One thing I noticed that I guess I never really paid attention too was how big Del Rio was. Especially for a former luchadore, this guy has some good size to him. I think Del Rio will be the future Ted Dibiase type. He is always going to be in that upper mid card range that can float back and forth between Main Event and Mid Card. I don't think he will be entranced in the main event scene like Cena, Orton, Edge or guys like that in the past.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be a great PPV main event, really ratchet up the Rock/Cena heat, and allow a relatively long build for Punk's WM opponent without having them touch each other at the PPV before WM, really building the anticipation. Plus, if they really plan on playing up Cena's mixed reactions leading up to his match against the Rock, putting him in a match against Punk on the PPV before WM would really push that angle.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggaloninjalee Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Why not have the Rock in the Rumble too and be the one to eliminate Cena? That would get the crowd to pop and create more heat between the 2. Cena could then distract Rock so he would be eliminated by whoever... Miz or Del Rio or whatever.
