In no way shape or form did I think for half a second that Bryan was walking out the Champion tonight.
I've long since accepted the fact that this company is either A) stupid B) doesn't give a flying what their adult/matured fanbase wants (and even that's a stretch because plenty of kids love Bryan too) or C) the smartest company ever
This entire Bryan saga is either a gigantic FU or one of the best long-term storyline's we've had in YEARS.
Problem is, we don't really know....and it's been on a rope getting thinner and thinner with each screwjob. Eventually if they don't give us the ending we want, the rope is going to snap and we'll be done. They are milking it to Wrestlemania 30....and if on that night the last moment we see as an audience isn't Daniel Bryan holding the WWE title with a crowd of about 70,000+ "yes-ing" their ing balls off, it will finally be time to concede, throw up the white flag and be done. Because there will be no more purpose.
Tonight was great. For the last few months this new gimmick of "hijacking" has been amazing to watch. And it's not just happening in 1 or 2 cities. It's happening everywhere. It's almost viral. And the WWE wants nothing more than to be the most social media/pop culture active entity in the world. The more the frustration builds, the more business it creates.
Or in the end, they really just don't give a flying about Bryan and are using his uber-popularity to keep heat on other guys.
Bottom line, it's safe to say at this point that absolutely NO ONE wants to see Batista vs Randy Orton for the WWE title at Wrestlemania 30
We are ready for something NEW, ready for something FRESH, ready for something EXCITING. Most of the fans watching the past 5-6 years are just flat our BORED TO DEATH with the same crap over and over and over again.
It's why on a nightly basis the guys getting the best reactions from crowds are Shield, Wyatts, Bryan, Punk, Cesaro, Ziggler....
We just want our wrestlers to be bad-ass. We want guys who can wrestle fast paced, hard hitting matches. We want guys with take-no-crap personalities. Guys with an edge. MANLY men who kick ass and take names. We're tired of cookie cutter vanilla soft serve garbage. It's NOT what professional wrestling is about.
We'll see what happens tomorrow night. I expect they will get something done QUICK with Bryan for 'Mania as they will want weeks to sell it. Whether he's in the title match or not. Once again, though most fans are left with a sour taste after spending ALOT of money on a pay per view event only to have a vince russo screwjob bonzo gonzo finish.
In the end though I'm glad Bryan didn't win tonight, because IF they really are ready to finally pass the torch to the next big star, they need to do it at Wrestlemania 30. Winning a title there is a legacy to last a lifetime (even if it's not your first major title)...winning a title at Elimination
Chamber the month before is only a memory to be left for compilation DVDs.
Oh, and The Shield are ing awesome.....especially Ro....SETH ING ROLLINS
and Swagger/Big E. was a damn good match.
