I am not trying to be Mr Negativity here... BUT... did anyone else cringe when Daniel Bryan and Brie were in the car and he says "I cant wait to get out of here". It came off so terribly to me. My heart sort of sank and I felt like "well this is the beginning of Daniel Bryan losing all his steam".
Maybe it was just me - I just sort of felt that as a face champion, you would have a little more bravado then running into your car with your beauty queen wife and looking forward to leaving an arena that you never even came out in front of at that point.
I felt as though Daniel Bryan wouldn't be running out of an arena scared of Kane (despite "protecting his wife") as much as he would come down and call him out if he has a problem. These next couple of weeks have potential to cut his legs off real real fast.

I understand exactly what you're saying. despite his win the night before - and his taking it to Kane the previous weeks before the PPV - last night he came off as scared,and weak-looking... intimidated.
they actually started this at the PPV though, when Kane sat up after the match was over and the fire exploded. Bryan look frightened. he should of triumphantly raised his Belts towards Kane in defiance, since he just,you know, BEAT him!

Every time Kane has a major storyline with anyone other then Taker there has been a point of the storyline that was corny as hell. See Shane O'Mac, Cena, Ryder,etc.
This was that point.

I wish they would tone the Brie Bella stuff down and just leave it to Daniel and Kane. I don't want another Kane/Cena/Ryder/Eve angle as that just got weird by the end.

I had 2012 heel punk flashbacks. They were not good flashbacks.

I felt the same. Bryan is my favorite currently, but he isn't a great actor and Brie is the farthest thing from a good actress.

I hate this storyline and want it to just end already. It makes no sense because Daniel is afraid of Kane yet in a few months he's rumored to face Brock Lesnar at Summerslam who's bigger than Kane. Get Brie away from Daniel and have Daniel be the champion who ends up beating all the people thrown at him.

Why would Bryan not be afraid of Kane? Look at all the things Kane has done to people over the years and at the minute he is in full monster mode.
Yes Lesnar is bigger than Kane but sometimes size doesn't matter.

Maybe I am old school.... but I think it should be the heels doing the running from the faces. I think it makes a face champion look weak as hell running away from any challenge no matter what the reason. Again, thats just me.

They are going to give Bryan a Rey run with the belt. Be careful what you wish for. Everyone wanted Bryan as the champion and they got it. Now the WWE and the "powers to be" are going to book him like crap. Like everyone has already said, it has started. Sure he'll sneak by Kane, hopefully they just don't have a Bryan/Kane feud for a couple of ppvs, then Bryan will fight Lesnar and I see no way that Bryan walks away with the title. Lesnar beat the streak, does anyone actually think the WWE won't let him go over on Bryan?! Bryan will lost the belt at Summerslam and then fade into asinine mid-card matches for nothing. And that sucks.

Yes Lesnar is bigger than Kane but sometimes size doesn't matter. Yes but as a champion Daniel should be stepping up against Kane and not running away. It makes him look weak as a champion. Daniel is soon to face Brock Lesnar the man who just conquered the streak now should Daniel run away cause he's afraid of Brock too, I think not because it'll just make him look weak. He needs to be a champion and step up against the bigger guys that are challenging him. Daniel spent almost 6 months getting beat up by The Authority cause he was stepping up against them and now that he's champion he's running away it doesn't make sense and it's stupid storyline wise.

It was all bad. Really bad. The whole concept was awkward, which in turn made Bryan look awkward, which in turn exposed Brie even more than she already normally is. The Bellas can't act to save their lives. Brie can get by with Bryan, but she was exposed horribly last night.
Not to mention, it made Bryan look like a bit of a baby. I know the idea is that he was trying to protect Brie, but regardless. It's just a weird angle all around.
Not to mention, the guy who is supposedly so intimidating was wearing suits not even a month ago and doing comedy WITH Bryan less than a year ago. Kane isn't intimidating anymore, in any capacity.
I might have been able to buy into Kane's "demon" schtick a little bit more if he had changed up his gear, went to a full mask, and stopped talking. That would at least had added some illusion or mystery back to his character.

I didn't mind it, mainly because I love watch cheesy horror films.
Stephanie all of a sudden being right next to the car was fantastic. I get the feeling that Vince just watched the first Friday the 13th movie and thought "I've got a great idea for a feud!."

Who cares really. If Bryan and Kane face-off in an awesome Buried Alive match then nobody will even remember the little nuances of the feud. Bryan isn't that kind of wrestler or performer. You largely don't remember his promos or interactions because the reason people get behind him occurs inside the ropes. He's the underdog. He is going to have to be afraid of Kane, or feel threatened by the Authority, or whatever other stupid good vs evil, contrived, idea WWE comes up with. He has to constantly face adversity or he'll just become Cena.
I thought their match at Extreme Rules was awesome and I love gimmick matches. So for that alone I'm willing to watch this thing play out towards a bigger payoff at Payback.

The segment last night, definitely cringeworthy, mainly due to Brie Bella being a complete and utter waste of space. However, Bryan has got to be scared of Kane. Kane is supposed to be an intimidating monster, if everyone is saying "it makes Bryan look weak", then how is Kane meant to ever get over as a monster if every time he intimidates someone they look "weak"? If nobody is intimidated by him, he's just another guy. But Kane is the scariest monster the WWE has ever had, in reality, people should be sh*t scared of the guy. He's huge, dangerous and willing to go to extreme lengths to haunt and torture you.
I totally understand the whole "Bryan looks like a bitch" thing, but without the intimidation, Kane doesn't really have anything to go on. When he's not in the monster role, he can rely on simply wanting to be World Champion, or wanting to beat someone who crossed him, but now he's back in the mask, ready to tear people apart, it's not believable for him to be wanting titles or wanting to just win a match.
I'm actually enjoying the storyline, hopefully they don't cut it short like they did with John Cena. It could really be great, providing they don't use Brie Bella ever again in any capacity, but I doubt that'll happen. If she's going to be included, at least tell her to just stay quiet and just look scared. It was truly terrible and ruined what could have been a great segment.
Also, the potential rumoured Buried Alive Match? Yes, please. I'm excited just thinking about that. The last Buried Alive Match was four years ago, it's time it returned.

Honestly Daniel Bryan is proving what the authority had been saying for months in my opinion .. He's a b+ player at best .. He's not a top guy and I am not at all interested In his program with Kane .. Now .. If it were punk and Bryan feuding for the title it would be different but I just feel like all I can say when it comes to Daniel Bryan since mania is .. Mehhhh
