One year ago today (1/13)...

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I normally don't do these "Oh, remember when this happened" type threads, but having been reminded by the career-defining moments thread... F***ing hell, these reactions still get me. I think only him winning in the main event at WrestleMania topped it.

Shame that the angle was cut short, because it could have been interesting had it played out longer... But it was for the greater good in the end.

[Eunös ✈]

Still wish he had won the Rumble.

I know it's old news now and irrelevant but it's still baffling that they thought having some dude who had been absent for 4+ years come back just like that and win was a good idea instead of the most over dude in the company at the time.

... Whatever it's old news now.

Still glad D Bry got he big moment in the end

Hate to be "that" guy, but I just remember that Bryan was INCREDIBLY concussed on top of that cage.

Yes, he said he was so concussed that he doesn't even remember the moment

So it's probably a bit harsh to be going on here going "Hey, remember this?" when he probably can't.

I'm not sure it was the angle that produced that pop or if it was just how damn over he was and still is.

Bryan was sidetracked by this feud and I'd bet a few nickles the plan was to have the blow off be at WM.

[mcstoklasa]

Reminds me of how awesome the Wyatt character can be

I don't think so the talk for the months before was always Wyatt vs. Cena at Mania.

[Nickybojelais]

With so much happening to Daniel Bryan over the past twelve months, it feels like that moment was actually a lot longer than one year ago.

[thegame415]

It's funny how we always complain about booking while it's current, yet I'd kill to go back to that period.

One year already? Damn

Just a spectacular segment, and up there in the best segments/scenes of his career so far. Perfect in every way. Its a damn shame that Bryan won't ever be able to remember it properly

I need to find the link to the live Raw thread, because I remember marking the f*** out like nothing else in it

It was Bryan. All Bryan.

Like you said, the angle sidetracked him, I don't recall crowds acting pleased with Bryan in the Wyatt Family at all........

But the moment he kicked Bray's head around 15 ways from Sunday and got rid of that Duke Droese outfit of his, THAT. CROWD. WENT. MENTAL.

[Bang Bang Bart]

I took the non-reaction to that Wyatt thing as "are we supposed to boo him because he's a bad guy for now?"

Brilliant! Much appreciated, cheers!

Batista wouldn't actually make his return appearance until the week after, so no.

[Diamond Cutter Out of Nowhere!]

When they cut back to that shot of everyone doing the "Yes" chant as he's setting up for the big knee, I knew that was the image that had to close out Wrestlemania.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

A bright spot in what ended up being a pretty awful year, both for Bryan and WWE. 

[Capt Lunatic]

This was the moment, that if it didn't change any plans creative had, makes me happy they got that trainwreck of a Rumble.

Sooo over...nah, job him at the Rumble then a Sheamus rematch at Mania.
