I think we should all guess what Daniels is holding over AJ Styles.

I gotta wonder where this Joseph Park thing is heading? It's been going on a couple of months now. Atleast it's more entertaining than Abyss.

Agreed. Same thing with the Undertaker with his years of terrible in-ring work, promos, stories, and a thousand and one Kane/Taker feuds. That dong hits, he comes out with that look, it doesn't matter. Permanently over.
Speaking of which, has Kane EVER won a feud against the Undertaker?

I REALLY appreciate that TNA continues to mentions how RVD never got pinned for his title, and never really had a shot back at it.
Yes, 2010. He beat him 3 straight times. No one has done that to Taker. I'm still amazed that Kane came out on top in that feud.

Oooooooh. That's what the "We want Brooke" chants at Lockdown were for? I thought they were chanting for Hogan's daughter, LOL.

It's so weird, because Daniel Bryan is a draw on Smackdown and usually does ok on Raw. Maybe they tuned out because they knew he was going to destroy Kofi? I think it's worse than usual because Cena was at the top of the hour which usually gains viewers so there is always a drop in the next segment.

They should just have Bryan join nWo Wolf Pac. Maybe have him wear a bandana Tupac-style like Scott Hall and Konnan. I've always said in this thread that Daniel Bryan is rowdy rowdy and bout it bout it. Atleast to the same extent as Lex Luger, if not more.

The only reason they're pushing Bryan a little bit is so he can job to Ryback later. The real star of the WWE.

Who was it that said Bryan will be Zack Ryder'd by 2013? The plan is in motion
There's just no interest in the midcard. Like I said before, if you're not main event status, then you get no attention. If the WWE doesn't care, then the fans won't care. Kofi Kingston inhibits ratings, and his inhibition is stronger than Bryan's draw.

I do. He should've been champion by now, but then STUPIDgate happened.

Did you guys ever notice how Bryan lifts his right leg (Sheamus hooks the left for the pin) straight into the air when he gets pinned and starts wiggling it? It's almost as if he's subtly saluting and sending out a message to Bryan-Nation.
It's almost as if he's trying to convey a message of hope and understanding just by wiggling his right leg in the air.
Like he's saying, "It's ok, guys. I'm ok with this. I'm going to be fine. Don't cry for me."
Weird, I was told by Wrasslin-GAF marks that Rock wasn't a draw anymore due to Survivor Series. Fucking marks.
Are you shitting me, Meltzer? You shit on Punk's gains when he's with ratings killers like Miz, and then Cena has a shitty gain and its "Well, no one cares about Tensai!" Fuck you Meltzer, stick your changed plans up your changed ass.

Man there is a shitload of commercials during this Impact. They butchered the AJ/Angle match. They've had some really rough cuts or edits too.
I care about Kingston.
I care about him more than Punk.
Hell, I care about R Truth more than punk. Truth needs to be champ.
Shit, I forgot R-Truth even existed? What happened to him?
Please. Orton saved us.
No, this is what he's saying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOnDGUGNjqY

I was looking at the roster the other day, and it's a joke. The only guys they have people actually see as main event talent are Cena, Lesnar, Punk, Orton and Jericho. Then you have guys like Sheamus, Bryan, and maybe Big Show and Kane, who are guys who people kinda like, and can be put into a main event match if needed, but they aren't megastars (Kane used to be a big star, but he isn't anymore). And then there's everybody else.
Kane is a much bigger draw than Big Show, and honestly, Bryan, as well. Bryan hasn't been built well by them lately.

Even if he is, he still isn't on the level of the five I mentioned.
It's funny how there was talk that HHH wanted to lay out a plan for every guy that gets brought up from FCW so that they have vignettes to hype them up beforehand and then a feud planned out in advance. Now it just seems like they're randomly bringing up a bunch of guys at the same time (so it's inevitable that a few of those guys will get lost in the shuffle soon) and only planting the seeds for one feud (Ambrose/Foley) among those new guys.
Jericho isn't on those guys' level either. Hell, I would argue the only real draws on that list are Cena, Lesnar, and maybe Punk. There is a HUGE difference between being over and being a draw.

I'm talking about being over. In terms of fans perspective, Jericho is up there with the other four I mentioned. They actually react to Jericho, and like to hate Jericho. He's a really good heel.
Kane is somebody people barely still care about, and that's mostly because of them knowing he used to be somebody they really cared about. Same with Big Show.
Sheamus is inching closer and closer to that top level though. As much as WrassleGAF likes to trash him, the general WWE fan sees him as a somebody who is becoming a top guy. And he deserves it; he's one of the few to come out of FCW who is actually really good.
It's sad how even with all this talk, that people like Del Rio, Miz, and Henry aren't mentioned, because they were people who WWE tried to make you care about, and then gave up on.

I am with this post.
More Hunner is good news.
Hunner/Taker best of 3 at WM29
I laughed way too fucking hard at this.
Now I can't get the image out of my head of Bryan as 2pac in the music video. Damn you, bean breath.
I just don't buy that argument. They care about Jericho because he's in a feud with Punk that's for the WWE title. Kane is in a feud with Orton over a fucking handshake, and he's still over. Put Kane in the WWE title picture with a big fan favorite like Punk, give them plenty of time, and people will care. It's also easy to remain fresh and cool when you leave for year long stretches.
If we're just talking over, then Kane is on Jericho's level. I mean shit, put Jericho in some random feud with some idiot over a handshake, and see how much interest he gets. I bet it would be the same interest Kane is getting now.
But like I said, being over is miles away from being a draw. Right now, it's just Lesnar, Cena, and maybe Punk.

Look, it's not hard to figure out. "Yes" is a fun thing to chant and people cheer for Daniel Bryan in the arena because they see it as an opportunity to chant "yes." But nobody actually wants to watch that dreadfully boring performer and, without being able to chant along with 2500 other fans, people at home hear Flight of the Valkyries and it's a cue for them to watch something else for 5 minutes.
edit: as for the "but he does okay on Smackdown" -- Smackdown is on Friday nights. Only nerds are home watching pro rasslin on Friday nights, and they are the only people who think Daniel Bryan is compelling.

Smackdown draws the absolute diehard WWE crowd. These are people who will watch anything the WWE puts out.
