As much as those two reigns sucked for Bryan, people seem to have forgotten that Ziggler's first WHC run that lasted something like a day when Vickie handed him Edge's title is on the record books. Bryan can rebound from this. Yes it sucks but he can get past it.
Barrett when they started the Barrett Barrage seemed to have some momentum. He went on a decent winning streak for a while and seemed to be running roughshod over his opponents.
One day reigns are nothing new but yeah they do seem pretty pointless, especially when the same person wins the title back.
I kind of wish the people booking the Divas division would take a couple minutes and pretend that they were booking for the male wrestlers. Part of the reason people aren't interested in the Divas divisions (apart from having about 5 minutes a week for matches on the main shows) is the fact that most of the time their storylines are so freaking pathetic. Instead of fighting over the title half the time it's fighting over a man or some other crap. Once in a while is one thing but seriously, they're there to wrestle (well some of them anyways), stop booking them like they're high school drama queens (except maybe the ones who are).
Isn't that why the AJ/Kaitlyn feud earlier this year was a success, because it was booked and treated like a feud between Superstars as opposed to a typical Divas feud. I mean promos, backstage brawls, in-ring brawls, contract signings, etc. Instead of wrestling each other in tag matches each and every week, they were basically kept apart for the most part. That's probably as good as it gets for the Divas division.
Admittedly I missed a lot of that and this total divas silliness has greatly overshadowed things. However, I'm glad to see it was happening for a while.
