Daniel Bryan has friends in "high" places. He really should call one of them. {Spoiler}

Actually, I think the scrubbish assortment that Bryan has as allies works in his favor.
As Triple H pointed out in the opening promo - we're supposed to believe that these guys are fighting FOR someone else to be champion, rather than seeking the belt themselves.
Well look at who we have here:
-Dolph Ziggler: a guy who can't seem to break out of the midcard and has had several nonstarter pushes in the past
-Zack Ryder: a flash in the pan who failed big time when tossed into a main event angle, gets lost in the shuffle a lot
-Justin Gabriel: the guy who pinned several main eventers and got so little out of it.
-Kofi Kingston: the Eternal Midcard Champion
-The Usos & the Prime Time Players: rock-solid tag teams who are only just now getting any kind of push after wallowing in mediocrity for ages
-Rob Van Dam: THE first person many people think of as someone who should have been pushed sooner (before hindsight kicked in)
-R-Truth: a guy who has had some big angles, but also gets lost in the shuffle and spent years as a hugely over act who couldn't get pushed due to his criminal record
Y'know what? I BELIEVE that these guys want to help Bryan. I believe that every single one of them is thinking, "If Bryan can be champion, I can be champion," and want to see Bryan's hard work pay off in order to pave the road for themselves in the future. RVD's the exception - he comes across as someone who's been in Bryan's shoes and won't let someone else hit the glass ceiling like he did.
Moreover, I think it actually works better that it's a midcard uprising. If we were seeing established main eventers in the mix, it would look like former champions condescending to Bryan. But no - this is a group who LOOKS UP to Bryan. These are guys who see Bryan as the guy they could be, and they want him to succeed because they see themselves in him. CM Punk talked a lot about being the "voice of the voiceless," but Bryan is actually inspiring the midcarders - the guys who represent the downtrodden, the guys who never get the big opportunities and main event spots - to rise up and crash the system.

Right now it's too chaotic and random. Way too many guys and barely any of them matter.
Dolph is doing nothing, Kofi is....well Kofi. Ryder's opportunity has passed. The Usos have better things ahead of them. RVD is already in another feud. Truth is irrelevant, and PTP could be better used elsewhere.
