okay, so a lot of people have opinions on the what's happening with Daniel Bryan
Personally, I think it's facepalm worthy, no more. I just don't want heels to ever get this kind of advantage over faces, but if the wrestler has talent I don't think it's ever possible to derail his career.

If you mean what do I think of Bryan joining them, then I choose to wait and see.

It's surprising to see you not liking something WWE is doing.

It's surprising to see you not liking something WWE is doing. see, the thing is I dislike some things WWE does. I just don't care enough to really, really bitch about it. The wrestling matches that come out of the angles are usually more than enough to make up for the angles that create them I don't like 20 minute promos. So I mute them. I don't complain that much because I also don't much care for promos either, but you need something to build the angles. Which is why I'm fine with waiting. Few matches come immeditely after the promo that builds them. I see a ton of people reacting incredibly over the top to the things WWE does, but for me the worst things they do are worth rolling your eyes or facepalming. You don't bring out the pitchforks and torches for stuff that makes you facepalm. |

I think it is completely stupid (though that's largely because I hate the Wyatt Family) and I have absolutely no confidence in much of anything WWE does at this point, but I doubt it'll damage how over Bryan is unless they make him a faceless goon for months on end.

So far I'm loving it. Bryan going through a crisis of faith only to will his way out of it and take it to the Wyatts would only serve to get him more over, as well as make the Wyatts even more despised. Bray's mic work and Harper being gangbusters in the the ring doesn't hurt things either.
As for the possibility of Cena encouraging him to snap out of it, I think that's fine too. There's a biiiiiiiiiiiiigggg difference between Bryan being stronger through the help of a good friend, and him clearly being "incapable of fighting his own battles without Cena looking out for him" the way it was obvious Ryder was. Besides, when you beat Cena clean as a sheet, you can afford to let him get you out of some jams without allegedly looking inferior to him. Hell, fans still accepted Foley and Rock as legit players even after Austin helped them, and they never got to beat Steve 1-2-3 (well Rock did, but that wouldn't be for a couple more years).
I have no idea whether or not it'll lead to Bryan winning the belt at WMXXX (and I don't care TBH, but that's me), but they're headed in an exciting direction so far.

Way too early to tell. Seems an unnecessary detour to get Bray &co seem heat, but we'll see.

I feel like all I've done this weekend is post my thoughts on this angle so I'll keep it short, I'm fascinated by what happened on RAW last week and I think the angle could go some very cool places, however if they f*** it up I'll be so angry that I crash this forum with my complaining.

When this angle started a month ago, I thought "It's a shame this is obviously filler leading nowhere, because Wrestlemania season is coming up in a few months". So I was very pleasantly surprised that they actually seem to be going through with the Wyatts brainwashing Bryan.
I'm sorry the Daniel Bryan fans hate their favorite wrestler getting a cool angle.

I'm a Daniel Bryan fan and I sure don't hate this cool angle. It's got me reacting accordingly and wanting to see the Wyatts get their asses kicked for their sins. |

The verdict on whether this angle is cool or not is still to be determined. So far, everything about it has been stupid. |

The Wyatts/Bryan program had been pretty good. Then, the end of Raw was awesome and totally hooked me. It's all in the follow-up.
I know "wait and see" gets mocked, but it's easily the most logical way to watch a show. No need to assume it will suck, or assume it will be great for that matter. Just judge it week to week on it's own merits.
Maybe we can try a new term: take it as it comes.

This angle is beneath Bryan, and it's way too soon for the Wyatt Family to be pushed as hard as they are.

I thought the Raw ending was cool. I wasn't expecting the crazy reaction to it on here at all.

Literally nothing has happened yet besides Bryan walking to the back with the group and wearing overalls at a house show.

This angle is beneath Bryan, and it's way too soon for the Wyatt Family to be pushed as hard as they are. They're pretty low on strong heels though. It's basically Orton and The Shield. There's Lesnar but he's special attraction guy who works 3 times a year. And there's Del Rio who's out with a concussion and had zero heat anyway, so him even being in the conversation shows you how dire the heel side is right now. This angle really legitimizes the Wyatts, Bray in particular, as top heels. I get that you'd probably rather see others move up the card before the newbies, but it's all in who WWE sees potential in. I love the Wyatt Family so I'm good with it, personally. |

On the one hand IT'S A TERRIBLE, TERRRRRAAABBBBLE IDEA.
On the other hand IT'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

I like it so far. Bryan can switch up his in ring style to be more strike-based and vicious.
Bryan's been demoralized by the Authority and reaches out to these crazies for help. The end game better be him using them though.
