I stopped reading at INTENSIVE PURPOSES.
Anywayz, Bryan is as popular as he is ever going to get, and that's why he's here - not to make Ziggler look bad. The goal is to elevate the IC title. So if Bryan OR Ziggler win, they are both on that same level - just underneath the main event.
Since Bryan can't be in the main event (its time to admit it, folks, he's not going to be thrust into the WWE title match), the best place for him is directly under it, showcasing the Macho Man title just under the Hogan title. If Macho Man was a B+ player, then it's a compliment. At Mania itself the IC title is underneath a bunch of special attraction showcase matches with celebs and part timers involved. Once those part timers leave after Mania, the IC title picture is for the main eventers to chase when they aren't chasing the WWE WHC.
I agree, it seems like they are trying to build both the US and IC titles up as legitimate and have main eventers hold the titles as being right under the top title instead of a few levels below. Also, why would the commentators have to justify Bryan's reasoning for going after a title many think he is "too big of star" to fight for, if he actually wasn't viewed as bigger than the title? As far as why did Ziggler beat Bryan, it's simple, to make people think he has a legitimate chance to win the belt at Wrestlemania. On another note, why are people crying so much about Bryan when Cena is pretty much doing the same thing? And this is coming from someone who really likes Bryan, but the complaining is getting a bit ridiculous.
