I wouldn't really argue against that. But at the same time, If "Taker wants to be done, he really comes off as the guy who would want to put someone over in that final match, not necessarily go out with an unbroken streak. Who else do you think he would want to put over? Who else could he even put over?
Hell they could book the match and have someone else beat the streak and right now the fans would probably go apeshit that it WASN'T Bryan. You could have a heel do it, but whats the point? It doesn't push the brand farther.

WWE's pretty good these days. Some great matches and a good standard up and down the card. Unfortunately they seem to struggle with the final third of their promising main event storylines when they're required to break the status quo.
Oh and NXT's great.

Not even saying he should. But just having a match against Taker alone is a bigger deal then beating Randy Orton for the title at WM. People get so fixated on the belt. They let Bryan work an amazing match tonight with Bryan, which was the best part of the show. He wasn't even in the RR match and he stole the show. He's not getting buried by anybody, they intentionally chose to leave him out of the Rumble match because they knew exactly how the fans would react.
Did people really want him winning the rumble then having him have yet another match with Randy Orton at WM? That seems ridiculously lazy and honestly I'm glad they didn't go that route. I would honestly rather see them build up a feud with Sheamus because they'd put on a great match at WM.
The real problem isn't Triple H or Vince or whoever you want to blame for keeping Daniel Bryan "down" (which is honestly a ridiculous proposition in the first place). It's the fact that Randy Orton fucking sucks. I wish he'd fail another drug test already. Dude is honestly one of the most boring WWE Champions ever. His matches suck, his character sucks and nobody gives a shit about him. He's just the most indifferent champ I can remember and the real disgrace is him going into WM with the title.

There should have been a distinction for the Thumbs Up. One for actually enjoying the show and one for enjoying the crowd.

But at the same time its your golden ticket, its your Bret Hart sharpshooter with blood coming down your face moment for someone.
DBry is already made, the guy is at Austin Levels of hot. He doesn't need the massive rub.

Lol. WWE actually went through with Batista winning. So predictable and bad that I didn't think they would actually do it. They can't get anything right. Fuck this company.

I hardly ever express my frustration with WWE. Never feed into the dirtsheets about the evil Vince and H's shovel. But after 20+ years of watching wrestling i've never been this frustrated over a push. Being part of that Miami crowd in 2012 was amazing. We shoved Bryan right into their face after they tried to push him back to nothing. Then after A WHOLE FUCKING YEAR of doing nothing besides a silly tag team gimmick with Kane, he finally gets his push! Not really. 2 min title win at SS. Wait finally a win! H stripes him of the title. It's ok he'll get the title at WM right? RIGHT?
Then he floats to NOTHING for 2 now 3 fucking months. After the Wyatt swerve i thought it was an amazing build up to win the Rumble, The crowd was fucking jacked. NOPE. Lose clean and keep him out the Rumble because they know he'll get cheered. Let's give Batista a million+ dollar push and title shot at WM30. Who looks to be in worse wrestling shape than he's ever been. The fuck?
It's mind boggling. This is the EXACT opposite on how wrestlers who are OVER are supposed to be treated. It sucks that 85% of the cities WWE goes to eats up the same old boring bullshit. Cena/Batista wouldn't last a week in the attitude era. Also if the rumor WM30 card comes to light then hollllyshit is it garbage. Not even worth the 10 bucks.
/rant. Of course i'm going to watch. Maybe JUST maybe shit can change if the crowds are vocal enough. In the mean time fuck off whoever is the mastermind handling Bryan.

That wouldn't work!
Have Kane in the middle of the ring, and let him flex for an hour or two.
That's how you pull in the female demographic!
Should be Fission Mailed.
Batista's gear looked so low rent. Like Kurt Angle in TNA low rent. What the fuck was that all about?
Too late, HHH already mentioned his feud(s) with Foley as really cementing him as a top guy in his DVD.

So in other words, No one? Because there isn't anyone else in the WWE right now that, i guess deserves is the right word but not all at the same time.
'Taker won't be around forever. You can't put someone like Reigns in there with him, it's too early. But at the same time I don't want to see Reigns/Ambrose for the next year, either.

Lol at the guy who called it being Reigns/Batista as the final two like halfway through
Anyways, yeah, I rigged the Rumble so I could win my Pool.
DEAL WITH IT

Its close to bait and switch, when you have the poster like this.
Notice no Cena, Orton, Lesnar or Big Show... Hmm oh look Daniel Bryan
Fuck bait and switch, this is straight up false advertisement.
Doesn't the real poster and advertising always have a *card subject to change disclaimer somewhere?

It also makes no sense.
I think the main thing you're missing is that Daniel Bryan's reactions aren't exactly solely cheers for Daniel Bryan, but cheers against the same old shit taking up the main focus for over 10 years now. The only payoff that makes sense is for him is to cleanly beat someone in that main focus.
That said, I'm pretty sure the WWE is going to throw Bryan in the Undertaker match to both shut up the smarks and have Bryan lose at the same time.
Funny you say this because "Austin Hot" was when Austin was in a main event program against the owner of the company AND either had the title or was chasing the title for years.
D.Bry is hot (not Austin Hot) without ANY of that.

Lol what
If Batista was going to win, which everyone knew then everyone also knew it would be a heel against him at the end.
The only heel that has been pushed enough that was in the rumble was Reigns.
Reigns was pushed through the entire fued with Punk for this.
I have never understood why people think that they made some kind of Kreskin like insight with things like this.

Fuck that stupid shit, they're cheers for Bryan above all else. The Reign's chants were desperation chants against Batista but throughout the night they were chanting for Bryan over anything else.

Oh shut up nerd
Thing I noticed during Orton vs. Cena was the commentators really trying to put this over as THE BIGGEST REMATCH IN WWE HISTORY, TWO OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME. Did WWE ever have to do this back in the day for Austin, Rock and whoever? Maybe they did for Wrestlemania 17 but those guys in their prime, you didn't need to. Hype levels were at maximum because they legitimately were the best and didn't need to be told that. It's no coincidence that Orton's at his best when he's not main eventing because fuck me, he doesn't have it in those big matches.
Lance Storm is not the man to be leading a revolution. He thinks most things suck.

The one person who could make gold out of it would be a guy like Ziggs, but he has been booked like a fucking jobber for so long.
"How I would do it"
To end the streak you need more than just a 10 week booking. You need to build it for at least 6 months. Have the person fight a long side taker for a month or two, then create a split.. Taker takes his usual break for about 1 month then comes back.. Have a quick 10min match at Survivor Series with interference or what not by another faction.. Force a team up again for RR, stare down at end of rumble with WM sign behind them... then you have 10 weeks to build a match between Taker and X wrestler.

Look at the crowd, and tell me its not Austin type hot..
Del Rio is on lock down as a B lister until something drastic changes.
The only reason he was elevated before was because they were pushing into spanish speaking markets and territories, unless he can dazzle he will always be a stepping stone.

Speaking of me being out of wrestling for 10 years, can someone explain something to me? When did every other belt/division besides the Big Belt stop mattering? Someone posted some vignettes of a coked out Ultimate Warrior puling some promo's, and a lot of them were for the IC title.
Whatever happened to working up the title ranks? I mean you'd have 4-6 people gunning for this title, and people gunning for that title, and after they won their popularity would go up and we would see them wrestling towards a bigger belt.
Now it just seems like it is all or nothing. Look at Big E and the IC title. He pops in and wins over Axel, and that's it. Who's next? Where are all the up and coming stars looking for that belt, or the stupid belt Ambrose has? Logical step after the rumble is Reigns taking that title and continuing to grow in popularity. But that won't actually happen. They will try to push Reigns to the top with no middle.
I just don't understand. In the old days (yeah i know), there was storyline and build up for each division/belt. Now it seems like nothing. Even the Tag Team division just seems boring right now, there isn't enough out there.

If any of you think after this that D-Bry is beating the streak, you need your head examined.

They've made too many mistakes and booked themselves into too many corners and done too many belt changes that weren't well thought out that the prestige isn't there.

I felt bad for the crowd when Rey came out, I don't think I've ever seen such pure disappointment and frustration when Bryan failed to come out.
Reigns got a huge rub from this rumble, he broke Kanes record for most eliminations, and he lasted until the final two.
This was huge for him.
Tomorrow the rift in the Shield will be played up.
I am just trying to say I do not understand how people think that predicting Reigns and Batista as the final two was an accomplishment.
How are you a smark and not a D-Bry fan.
I wish it had been someone who kinda sucked if it couldn't be Bryan. I felt sorry for Rey. He looked like a baked potato wrapped in foil and ready for the oven but he's cool.
The Silver

no one think its actually gonna happen, its just that Bryan might the only person who could pull it off and come out better.
Its a huge huge huge huge gamble though and beyond WWEs skills
There used to be a revolving door between the IC, tag team, and heavyweight title pictures, yeah... I'm not sure exactly when it stopped... probably shortly after Cena's rise to the main event back in 03/04?
