A problem I have with Bryan winning the title

[mrjl]

There's no one I want to see him feud with. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch him wrestle against anybody.

But I just can't think of anyone I want to see him in a Hogan/Andre, Flair/Rhodes type heated blood feud.

[Instant Classic]

Wyatt actually seemed like that guy imo.

[king1836]

If Bryan leaves WM30 as World Champion, then I could see him feuding with Bray Wyatt. After all, Wyatt beat him at Royal Rumble.

[Amazing Kitsune]

I too have a problem with it.

These forums are never fun when people are happy. Ever.

[Chip]

There's people you want to see Orton or Batista feud with?

[BigWill]

Turn Batista heel, and you have a new feud right there.

You could even reference their past match on Raw, back when Bryan was still a rookie.

Had they not killed him deader than Dolph Ziggler, I'd say #BadNewsBarragh would've been a good guy they'd have to have a feud with D. Bryan Danielson.

The problem is it only works really well in my mind because in my mind I already booked D. Bryan Danielson getting a title shot against Brock Lesnar at WM XXX. DBD was the 31st entrant in the Rumble after Wade engages in epic Royal Rumble trolling by being the "final" entrant.

Wade goes on a campaign to be #1 contender and there's really no way I couldn't imagine that being pretty personal, because now it's about more than winning the title or any of that vague "face of the company" shit, it's about winning it from Bryan. Barrett's got issues with DBD that should go all the way back to when he turned on the Nexus...but that's never gonna happen.

It's a shame though, as I'd totally mark out at Barrett using the gavel as a weapon sometimes.

DAHNIEL BROYAN!!! You've finally regained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and have gotten your happy ending of proving you belong at the top of the mountain...but I'm afraid I have some BAD NEWS...

Miz, Wyatt, Ziggler, Barrett, Cena, Punk, Lesnar and Cesaro are my immediate thoughts for feuds based on history or just good matches.

[Sam Punk]

Couldn't he feud with Cesaro? That would be a fresh matchup.

I like it when guys like Cena and Batista kick Orton's ass. It's fun and cathartic. I also wish he'd get another match with Taker( as a follow up to HBK and Trips double shot against him)

Bryan kind of is, but it just doesn't quite work for me for some reason. It might be because I feel Bryan's moveset needs to be modified. His only going for his running knee finisher so rarely just kind of spoils it for me, I guess. It's like he doesn't want to win or hurt them that bad if there's something he'd keep in reserve. I'd drop the diving headbutt most of the time and have his finishing sequence be his missle dropkick, followed by a kip up as his opponent rolled away to get to his feet and then bam, the Knee That Beat Cena, as it's called


Another feud with Cena would be something I'd enjoy with Batista. I'd also like to see him go against Mark Henry, face or heel, Brock, Sheamus with Batista as a heel, and Roman Reigns, a one or two match set with Brodus Clay,

[shaker]

Cesaro, Cena, heel Batista, a returning Punk, returning Jericho, Lesnar, any solo member of the Shield, Wyatt. Dude has years of possible opponents.

I'm not denying that. I'm not even saying he'd have problems getting most people into it. I'm just saying that for me, I can't imagine developing any interest in the feuds outside of them being good matches.

People wanted Hogan to take out Andre for his betraying Hogan. Same with Savage. They wanted Quake to pay for putting Hogan out.

People were out for the Flair and the Four Horsemen's blood. And they wanted WCW guys to take out the nWo.

There's no prospective feuds that fill me with that kind of passion

There really isn't a reason for Bryan's character to have those kinds of feuds.

But a bunch of assorted names on all levels of the card could easily be monthly title defenses for Bryan under the much bigger Authority storyline. Bryan and HHH/Steph could rehash their angle with the Authority throwing obstacles at Bryan to take the title from him. Heels on all levels of the card could be used as HHH's handpicked opponents. They could rehash the reluctant face thing by having the Authority put a face from any level on the card under their thumb to and forcing him to wrestle Bryan; Hell, you could even work some kind of meta angle where the Authority is supposedly making a face wrestle Bryan on purpose with the explicit intention of killing their goodwill with the fans.

The problem I have is that he will end up Benoit'ing his family because he's under 6 ft tall and likes to do a flying headbutt

you're right there isn't. But generally those feuds are the ones that make money. It'd kind of suck if Bryan became champ and it turned out the Authority was right and that Bryan being champ wasn't best for business

If this was a big concern, WWE would make him stop doing it. Or at the very least tell him to change it to a big splash or something.
