The only things I want to see Daniel Bryan doing at WrestleMania is A: Winning the Championship or B: Ending the Undertaker's Streak. I've heard rumors of a match between he and Triple H at Mania as well, and while that would be awesome it just wouldn't be awesome enough for me. It's High Time Daniel Bryan gets the biggest opportunities possible. Batista vs Orton as a WM Main Event is a joke, and I like I'm sure a lot of you, have absolutely zero interest in that. If WM30 doesn't end with Daniel Bryan as World Champion, we riot! I mean honestly either him winning the title or ending the streak is the only things I would care to see. Other than that. I'll probably quit following WWE going forward. I just wouldn't be able to watch it knowing what a huge opportunity they blew. I get the comments that some guys had earlier about any guy that beat Taker's streak would likely be hated for it, but I don't think that would be the case with Daniel Bryan I really don't. There are a sh*t load of other guys who could end the streak and it would piss off a lot of people, and leave them disgusted, but I don't think that Bryan is one of them. He's probably one of the only people that's not. I mean Undertaker is Undertaker, he's gonna be an absolute legend and a beloved wrestling figure no matter what, but in my opinion the greatest thing he could do in his final match as the Undertaker is let somebody end the streak and push them into the stratosphere as accomplishing something that no other wrestler ever has or ever will accomplish. I mean I totally understand if he's proud of the streak and wants to hold onto it, but I don't think Taker would be so petty as to want to hold onto the streak knowing that he's going to retire, and he almost certainly will retire after this years WrestleMania win or lose. Taker has always been a team player, and he knows how much it could mean to somebody's career to have that W on their record. |

Cheap Heat Barrett, your chart is telling me that DB is receiving more search-related interest on Google than Batista was before he won the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event at Wrestlemania in 2005.  Look how Batista's numbers skyrocket after that win. I wonder what DB's would do. |

You made a great point, they need to get him over with the non-fans and casual viewers. Now, in any tv show there are a few ways. Give them a hook and catchphrase, Mary Sue the shit out of them (which can result in backlash from longtime fans), or just make them seem important to the show in an organic kind of way. Don't say "He has all the answers, he's the greatest ever!" out of left field, or have him just suddenly be able to cure cancer or some crazy shit like that. That'd be the second example. Just let him be him, and let the fan reaction grow. A non-fan that tunes in and sees people going CRAZY for something will stop and say "hey, what's all the hype about?" A non wrestling fan will be more apt to say "holy crap, I gotta see what the deal is here" if it starts making press. Lawler/Kaufman, for example, was nota "Hulk Hogan/Mr. T" kind of deal, but it caught people. My father used to tell me that, when he saw it, it made he second guess if wrestling was fake (long before kayfabe died, I know). THAT will get their attention. However, that's only if there's something interesting or good about it. If it's negative, "Fans are demanding refunds!", "Grand Jury convened", then it will not draw fans, it will make them laugh and go "Damn, Vince is an idiot" and not make anyone any money. |

For what it's worth, on just waking up I turned the TV on and it happened to have on AIM Raw at the Batista / Orton segment, and they didn't dub over the boos Batista was getting. Take that as you will.

I think booking Wrestlemania is easy at this point.
Orton vs. Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Undertaker vs. Cena
Brock Lesnar vs. Batista (No-DQ)
There's your triple main event right there. Should Punk come back, he should face Triple H.

For what it's worth, WWE.com put up this poll asking fans who they want to win inside the Chamber. I know it doesn't alter results, but just interesting to pass along:  |

I don't think they usually edit AM Raw reactions like that I can think of once when they did, in that segment when Orton attacked Dusty and the crowd started chanting for Cody, they dubbed it over with Cena chants. |

He's getting demoted from Sheamus to Kane, isn't he?

He's getting demoted from Sheamus to Kane, isn't he? No, he's been put in Punk's storyline it seems. Kane will probably be one of his obstacles on the way to HHH at Mania. Hope I'm wrong and he can get in the title match, though. |

Every f***ing time they're 'pushing' this guy they leave him lying as the last image of the show. They do know there's alternatives?

But Triple H has to fight someone at Wrestlemania, because this is WWE and they believe Triple H is a legendary megastar and tons of people will buy the card just to see him.
Though I could see them using this to set up HHH/Bryan but also holding out for the possiblity of CM Punk coming back at the last minute, in which case they'll demote Bryan to fighting Kane.

damn results are the same even if I put in Dave Batista
Look how Batista's numbers skyrocket after that win. I wonder what DB's would do.
