Creative has nothing for Daniel Bryan

He's probably gotten a bigger push in his first six months (or so) in WWE than just about anybody in memory.

Yet people complain.

If you're giving someone a push, follow up on it, otherwise don't make the person US champ and not feature him.

And complaining is something you just did, btw.

Creative sucks, few of them have ever actually been wrestlers. They are just a bunch of crappy writers who have no real idea how wrestling works.

Hollywood writers to be exact. I think the WWE is better off if they start having the road agents book and write the storylines.

Start having guys like Arn, Steamboat, and Malenko book the matches and storylines. Least they understand psychology and wrestling whereas these writers try to present it like a film.

A Tyson Kidd feud wouldn't have been too bad had they not had him get destroyed by Mark Henry a week ago.

Where did I complain? I made an observation. I didn't comment on it, just stated a fact.

[Slingshot Suplay]

I think it's funny how Vince Russo and Ed Ferrera could write a RAW show and have something for almost every character to do while a team of former Hollywood writers can't find something for the U.S. champion to do.

I still don't get the logic behind that. If you have Henry beat Kidd clean at least have Andrews do something post match.

There is nothing "Glorious" about Otunga becoming Champion again.

He did do something. He got totally destroyed likely never to be seen again.

But it's inaccurrate. No-one was complaining about Bryan getting pushed. They were complaining treading water for the past couple of months or so. What, are people supposed to applaud when someone ISN'T jobbed to hell and back?

Yep.

I really ..lol..Really just don't get it these days.
I'm all for critiquing The 'E, but it seems like these days people are pulling at straws...

It's Royal Rumble Month. They don't have anything for anybody except the Divas and the main event guys, because they're all going to be in the Rumble and that's what they're all focused on. Except for maybe one feud that might make the RR undercard with the Divas and the world title matches, I think everybody in the midcard is on a treadmill right now until post-Rumble, when the build to Mania begins. That said, I expect most of the guys not to really get significant singles feuds, instead being relegated to Money in the Bank.

Bryan is one of those men I expect to be in that position.

[Dean-o]

What is Bryan to do besides beat Ted Dibaise again? There is no midcard because the rosters suck.

They really need to end this brand split. Yep, that argument again.

[Yami Daimao]

Why haven't they pulled the trigger on the "American Dragon" gimmick yet? He has dragon designs on his attire AND he's the U.S. Champion. What the hell are they waiting for?

It kinda reminds of Ric Flair first go-around in the WWF in 1991-1992. He had "Nature Boy" on all his robes, but they never called him that, in fact, they specifically never gave him a nickname. Also they gave him that weird 2001 knockoff theme.

So we can see guys like Ziggler, Morrison, Del Rio, Kofi, and Swagger get jobbed out continually and be released at some point? It's a double edged sword and it doesn't appear to be any bright side sadly.

[casualobserver]

There is a reason these writers are doing a wrestling show and not a major motion picture or popular TV series in Hollywood.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

A Bryan/Regal feud writes itself. It's classic master vs student, and it could be entertaining on that merit alone, as well as be exciting to watch from a wrestling standpoint. If they fail to use this window of opportunity, I really don't know what to say about creative at this point.

You know what though? These aren't stories. Granted it seems like they're trying again. They've got more going on than they have the past few years but stories have beginnings, middles and ends. We get a lot of beginnings and they usually start well, but some end soon after they begin. The middles are usually where the problem sets in. When we realize they have no idea where an angle is going. This spinning wheel method is about 90 percent of the creative process in WWE. Endings are the most rare, sometimes we get them but they've been really anticlimatic like the end of Legacy or the SES when we do.

[crazydom]

The problem with Raw is they refuse to have The Nexus actually do single matches and instead just stick around doing nothing. You basically have 5 midcard wrestlers who could be feuding with Bryan doing nothing but standing backstage and doing beatdowns. Then you've got A-Ri who only wrestles as a stooge for The Miz. That's 6 wrestlers, all heels, who could be feuding with Bryan but instead are basically dead weight.
