Kane and Daniel Bryan anger management thread

[Sephiroth]

Given their impending match on Monday, let us take a moment to look back and remember the comedy gold of Team Hell No going to anger management. I know these segments were not everyone's cup of tea because of how they weathered down Kane's character...again. But myself, I freaking loved it. These two played off each other far better than I ever would have imagined . The restaurant ones were my favorite, though I also got a charge from Bryan doing his entrance and trying to shush the audience as they chanted for him. I'm holding out the hope for a Dr Shelby cameo this Monday.

SHUT UP HAROLD!

It was great seeing Kane horrifying people with his exploits and then the camera pans to Bryan and he just looks thoroughly bored.

Check please!

It's going to make for a nice moment when Kane finally turns on The Authority and we get a brief Hell No (likely thus called Hell Yes) reunion for one or two matches.

I loved Team Hell No. They worked so well together. Even the little things, like when Kane would do his ring post pyro, Daniel Bryan would duck and cover his ears straight out of a Looney Toon cartoon.

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

No joke or anything here - that was my favorite tag team of all time. They were so ridiculously entertaining together.

"I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!"

Kane just blatantly corpsing in one of the sketches was a highlight of this, for me. Some of the best comedy segments the WWE have done since Booker T/Goldust.

I had forgotten until the other day when how long their reign was. I was looking at the list of tag champions, that they held the tag titles for over 8 months.

I always wonder how different things would have been if "Team Friendship" had won the poll. I remember at the time wanting that to win, but I think in the end it was better that Hell No won, I just wish that had happened at a time when WWE wasn't so obsessed with calling every team "Team ____." I'm glad they seem to be over that, I guess someone was really into Twilight at the time.

Let us not forget Dr. Shelby in all this - his interactions with them made it even better, whether it was awkward silence rom Kane's antics or finally losing his shit to sic them on the Rhodes Scholars for being called "Dr. Phil".

But will they hug it out?

[Joe Neglia]

So many great moments. Kane giving his past history in the meeting, the first hug it out, Bryan popping up out of trash cans, Bryan rising above the "weak link" stigma finally...

[Tony Schiavontay]

These two were great together. They were funny and always had great matches. Loved Team Hell No.

The second best thing about the Kane history segment, besides Kane's casually talking about his entire continuity, was Bryan going 'This is such a bad idea'. Mostly because it pretty much set the tone of what made that bit so great.

Team Hell No shouldn't have worked and it wouldn't have if the two people involved weren't Bryan and Kane.

"And for reasons never completely explained I have an unhealthy obsession with torturing Pete Rose."

Kane talking about Kaneuity in that therapy session is one of my all time favorite wrestling moments ever.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

I wish... god, in some alternate universe, Bryan Vs. Authority was booked perfectly, which means Kane was their monstrous representative, and Bryan beat him at Mania to win the title and pay off their entire history.

These segments helped make Daniel Bryan.


Everyone was bitching and moaning that he couldn't talk and had no personality and whatever.


This shut them up.

[N E O G E O B O Y S]

What I liked about this is that the whole arc was perfectly booked to help bryan overcame his mental illness produced by 18 seconds/AJ to the point that must be one of the best long term booking plans that the WWE had ever done.

It was way better than bryan suddenly being aggresive and start fighting an mma style.

Also, I love how in the hug out segment, they needed a referee to verify the hug, and the beginning was like they were studying their opponent

To add to that, God bless every person who voted for 'Hug it out' when they could have voted for one on one and team up. Whatever you can say about WWE's comedy 99% of the time, that moment was magical.
