Watching this is like seeing someone's bad idea brought to life.

I get what they are trying to do and I like the idea....but how many times can they come up with ways for him to "accidentally" lose? They've had him hurt, selling an injury, distracted, outsized, incompentpt tag team partners, and taken by surprise. I want to see him start winning soon cause I think if they keep on this losing streak, the creative team will get lazy and have him start loseing clean with no gimmick as to why he lost.

I chimed in on the NXT spoiler thread, but after watching the show, I feel even more strongly about it. The problem is that no matter how much heart and how much fight they show Bryan to have, there comes a point where people will just say, "Okay, it's been eight matches. Seriously, no more excuses for this guy. He's just a scrub." It's one thing for him to not get it done against the World Champion or against The Great Khali, but when he's losing cleanly to the people he's ranked ahead of, it almost kind of turns him heel to the kids in the crowd who will probably think, "Well that's not fair that he's number one. He loses all the time!" I know they're just building it up his eventual first victory (likely against The Miz, and for the US Title) in order to make it mean as much as a first loss. But they tried this before and it didn't work out. Or does anyone really consider Colin Delaney's ECW run a successful venture? And what if Bryan DOES win NXT without actually having won a match? I mean, apparently, as long as you give a good showing, that's all it takes to be highly ranked. So what if he actually wins this whole thing without having won? I think casual viewers (i.e., kid fans or other non-IWC members) will s*** all over it if they actually do that. But I can't think of any other way for Bryan to get a title shot against The Miz without winning NXT. But it would be retarded for him to win NXT without actually winning any matches. But his first win should be against The Miz for the US title, given how they're building it. So they've painted themselves into a bit of a corner. Only way Bryan can get a shot without winning NXT is if he pulls an Otunga and books himself into a title match. And the only way he'd have that kind of power is if he got to guest host RAW. And the only way he'd get to guest host RAW, most likely, is by earning the right by winning a match, same as Otunga. You see the chaotic circle of logistics going on here? It's like a snake eating itself. Wait, let me rethink that analogy. Okay, it's like a pretzel of some kind. Or bagel. Or some other infinite pastry of illogicality. This is seriously the same thread every week...can we just find the thread from the week before and bump it? well the Mickie threads have died down so we need a new repeating topic to discuss. As have the "Punk Did Something" Appreciation threads. I actually think we should just have official stick threads for these sorts of things. The All-Purpose Mickie James Thread The Official Whatever Punk Did This Week Appreciation Thread The Official Daniel Bryan's Losing Streak Depreciation Thread

It doesn't matter HOW he loses, all that matters is that the average WWE fan is gonna be like "pfft, this guy always loses, what do we care?"
Also, they're really not doing themselves any favors with him being ranked number one. It makes him seem undeserving, which is a heel characteristic.

The guy could be the nextwrestling messiah but if they book him to loose too often, it'll MVP him, I mean remember how LONG it took MVP to rebound after his "loser" angle?

I personally think it should have been in the rookie battle royal, and have had if the rookies VETERAN won THAT battle royal the rookie got to host. Made Otunga look more heelish by getting something he didn't deserve.

Hated the finish to his match tonight. He looked awesome, though.
I'm thinking Kane goes through the other guys until he gets to Bryan, who submits him for his first win.

I see threads/posts on here sometime saying that the heels are right most of the time. Mostly with punk and Jericho. Does that mean since Cole is playing the heel against Bryan, That Cole is right (kayfabe) about bryan?
So Cole is being hated for being right.

This is one of those instances where the heel is pretty much dead wrong, and petty besides. Calling a dude out for wearing maroon trunks is just idiotic.

I'm wondering if they're going to have him keep losing, but still be in the top percentile due to how good he looks, then it comes down to him and Otunga, and Bryant beats Otunga in spectacular fashion in his last match, and wins the whole thing?

A swerve could happen, What if the losing streak gets to bryan,Listens to Miz. Then during a match, Helps Miz win to retain the U.S. Tiltle or tag titles. Maybe a heel turn is in the making. Longshot, But worth considering.

Lame finish to the season. Guy who apparently sucks in the casual fans eyes beats guy who isn't over.

What if Daniel Bryan never wins a match, yet gets voted as the winner of NXT? I actually could see this happening, and the reasoning behind it is Bryan is the smallest threat to the pros.

Didnt he win the us title 2 weeks after? Then competed in MITB at mania? The move to raw shortly after and beat Orton in his the first match? Then defend the US title on Raw for a couple months before losing it? I'm not really seeing your point...

I dislike most of WWE's modern booking strategies, but this is one they are doing very right.
Smarks want Bryan to win, and are wondering when/if he will, up in arms because he hasn't yet, but still tuning in.
Marks are behind Bryan because he is an obvious underdog/everyman character, is great in the ring and has been capable on the mic.
This is basically Colin Delaney booked right, with the crowd actually caring and Bryan being made to look good the whole time. WWE is doing a good job of getting him over, and how many wins he gets on NXT doesn't matter. It's more what happens after NXT.
