If Bryan isn't involved in the main event for this year's Wrestlemania, I want him to face HBK in a match. They teased it last year and it got enough backstory to sell as a marquee matchup. You really think HBK, almost 5 years removed from the ring, would be up to a Mania level match for his return? At least with his last return he had the drive and desire to repair his image, I just cannot see a one off with Bryan at Mania really living up to the lofty expectations we'd all have.

Plus HBK knows enough tricks to overcome any limitations he might have. If it's driven by emotions and showmanship, workrate can take a backseat.

A stable of young douche-bro jocks that engage in wacky sophomoric antics might actually be a good thing. Vince gets his "poop humor" fix so that guys like Cena and Ambrose don't have to drag their characters down with it, and some deserving talents get the chance to develop their own characters. Maybe one member of "D-Generation Y" can break out the way that HHH broke out of DX.

I hope WWE keep Bryan away from Brock. Because I have this feeling Brock would injure him and he'd be out for months again.

He managed to drop Cena on his previously injured neck about 20 times with Cena back in action within a week afterward. The only people I can ever recall him injuring are Holly and Taker, and Holly's more than a little debatable while Taker's probably just because he's old and frail. Hell, he managed to have a lengthy match with Angle while he was in such bad shape that they had a back-up plan already in place in case he couldn't make it to Mania.

Yeah, I don't know where this idea that Brock injures people comes from. He looked after Kurt in that match and Holly supposedly sandbagged him. Taker's is just one of those things and could easily have been his own doing.

I think it's because Brock's current character is predicated on the idea that he "pounds the shit out of people for realsies unlike all these fake wrestlers".

They need to make a new star at WM 31. Bryan is made already.
I don't care if it's Reigns, Ziggler, Ambrose, Sandow, Owens, The Bunny.....
They need to elevate some people real quick.

I've had enough of DX It has to be Bryan beating Lesnar. Nothing else. I'm all for Bryan, but surely Ziggler vs Lesnar would be the better option? Would be a VERY similar match with a similar story, but would create another star in the process.

So the way to avoid repetition is to have Bryan beat Triple H at the second consecutive Mania?
And WWE hates repetition despite Triple H and HBK rematches with Undertaker?

I think they mean repetition in the sense that Bryan doesn't need to have yet another "star making" moment at WM31. Bryan/HHH II while a repeat of last year, wouldn't be done for the sake of "making" DB. It just placates the fans by giving Bryan a program that would still be considered a "main event" level match while leaving room to put another fresh face in the title picture.

It just placates the fans by giving Bryan a program that would still be considered a "main event" level match while leaving room to put another fresh face in the title picture. I think precious few things will placate the fans enough to let them get over Bryan being on the card but not in the main event. He has been WWE champion three times and the one time he actually lost it was via a heelish cash-in. Last time he didn't even lose it in a match. I'm not talking about making DB at all, I'm talking about decent storytelling. Bryan is one of the precious few in previous years to beat Cena clean, and Brock murdered Cena. Even from a credibility standpoint virtually no-one on the roster can go toe-to-toe with Brock and justifiably have a decent match with him if he can beat Cena that easily. But then I am talking about logical storytelling in a WWE context, so we may as well be trying to guess what Vince's next fart will smell like.
