Exactly. Now... If you're home alone and yelling "DAN-IEL BRY-AN!!" at the top of your lungs while clapping to absolutely NO ONE and you're not watching TLC but an episode of Downton Abbey... You might be insane. That...that doesn't apply to people who do that to infomercials, right? *crosses fingers* I have some bad news...

Reading these kinds of threads makes me feel like I'm the only one who thinks the WWE WANTS the fans to randomly chant Daniel Bryan at random segments. I think the RAW ending last week was specifically booked with the expectation of those chants in mind. I think it's all HHH's possibly-too-cute-attempt to be the IWC heel and the on-screen kayfabe heel all wrapped into one character. It's kind of working, Bryan is just getting more and more popular. Would he be as hot if they put the title on him and just fed him a different heel at every PPV? I think they're building towards him being on top again towards Mania, they just want it to be exciting and kind of new still then, instead of just the culmination of an 8-month run on top.

If you're paying to be there, you don't have to be grateful. If someone's paying to be there and doesn't even want to attempt to be entertained, they're either spoiled or stupid FFS dude, no one pays to go to a show so they can just hate it. The tickets go on sale way before any matches are announced, so it's not like people can just pick and choose as soon as they go on sale. I mean if WWE ever did a televised show down here, I'd probably get tickets asap, because of the atmosphere and because I like wrestling. But then if I thought the show stunk, I'd voice my opinion. No one else gets to tell me how I'm "supposed to respond" to something I like or don't like. So long as I'm not being obnoxious to anyone around me, it's all fair game.

Yeah but that's my point, does that mean that these people would choose to NOT go to the show if X wasn't in the main event? You don't HAVE to like what's going on, but if you payed good money for it, you should at least try to and not give up before the match starts. If the match sucks, they can do whatever they want.

If that's what WWE's doing, I still don't think it's right. That's not really fair to the other wrestlers who are working hard and busting their ass to put on a good show. I don't think it would be right for two random guys trying their hardest to impress the fans and get noticed only for people to be chanting for Daniel Bryan. Screwing over Bryan just screws over everyone else for no reason.

Is there any other industry in the world whose customers loudly and clearly spell out what they want, and those in charge go "Nah"?

The crowd is the only reason I'll watch the main event. If I'm going to have to sit through another Orton/Cena match I'll be very disappointed if they don't crap all over it.

Fair nuff, but I'll be honest, for me, personally I haven't given em a red cent in years. Well not entirely true, cards on the table, I bought the Mid-South dvd, if ya wanna count that.

It's this or TNA for readily accessible wrestling content, and that seems to be up in the air how much longer it can possibly last. And, y'know, it's TNA, though this Authority shit is starting to make me think maybe Immortal wasn't so bad after all.

They were very smart to have Bryan get laid out right before the main event. That really eliminated any chance of DB or Yes chants during the match.

If Daniel Bryan is who they want they should chant for Daniel Bryan until it gets through the wax in WWE's ears. Isnt that going a bit far? I understand "we want X in main event", but this? And where will it stop. Will soon crowds crap over any main where the person they think should be there isn't. We're not a million miles away then from "This show must be booked like this____ or we riot" Fine with me. I don't remember people chanting different wrestler's names when Hogan, Austin, the Rock, Warrior, HBK, or Taker were champ. But if WWE refused to put the strap on Austin they would have been at some point.

. If I was WWE I'd place Bryan in Mania main event probably following Rumble win. That'd be a great way to really capitalise on this momentum. This whole "Bryan now, now, now, now" thing mightn't be wise and mightn't be the way WWE wants to present it. Surely there is only so much fans should be able to or think they should be able to dictate. I think the worry is they won't. At least I have it. It seems like a no-brainer, but I wonder about Creative's brain-possessing ability at times.
