He lost it because they freaked out over Cena getting injured and booked him in a corner with CM Punk and pretty much had to have him lose.

Realtalk: Did anyone think Miz had a chance to kind of blossom...?
er...not asking because miz/morrison falls count anywhere wound up being one of my favorite matches of 2011 or anything... D:
in a perfect world him and punk could've had a great feud with legit heat over how they both nurtured their characters and brought it to wwe and had to fight for respect but man, miz was just a snooze in the ring.

I feel like there was a time where I sort of thought 'good on him, he's worked hard for this' and now I'm just like 'Man, he's still around...' I think it's his terrible face runs that make me not like him. Strangely.
Those people needed a firm Thesz hand shake and they would have changed their minds, hearts, and lives.

Did the most over face of all-time "Stone Cold" Steve Austin ever pander to the crowd with "I do it for these people" bullshit? I think not.
He did what he did for himself and we loved him for it.
I don't even think 'the other peoples' champion' DDP did.
He did it for the Working Man. OOOOOOOOOOHHH HEEEEEELLLLL YEAHHHH

Top faces pandering to their audience is pretty common. Hulk pandered to and did it for all his Hulkamaniacs. Sting did it for all his Little Stingers. Warrior did it for all his Little Warriors. The Rock did it for The People. Rikishi did it for The Rock. HBK did it for The Kliq.

Well for Bryan it makes sense because the people gave him all his success. If you listen to his interview with Jericho none of this was planned for him. Basically the audience had to hijack shows especially royal rumble to get vince to cave in.

I've been meaning to get to a Lucha Britania show sometime, they look like a lot of fun. Lucha Freddie Mercury just seals the deal.
It's what annoys me in all of this.
As a character they have no motivation. They do it "for the people". I get the idea but I can't relate.
If we have what we want we will be happy, there's no need to be pointed out they are doing it for us. I think it cheapens it.
We get behind character motivations and this isn't that.

God I miss that video of Austin's 3:16 promo dubbed over with cougar website plugging
I was going to add that it made sense for Bryan but then I thought about it. While it's true that the audience it's the one that push him for it they didn't have to remove the fact that he fought for it all his career.
They had that video package that showed that (the one with the Imagine Dragons song) and I loved it, but on the shows he was all "these people want this" instead of "I deserve this and they support me". I think it changed the whole attitude.

What about the people who did it for The Rock?

Besides that gimmick's already been brought to its most logical conclusion:

bullshit top face pandering is what really soured me on CM Punk for awhile.

Oh man, yeah, he was really bad for it. Face CM Punk was terrible. It was like those bedroom promo people saying all the stuff they thought Faces would say.

A perfect example of something face Punk would say.
I don't think Bryan says he does it *for* the people; but that he is able to be where he belongs given he is the damn best wrestler in the world *because* of the people. Which is true.

If anything it's the crowd who doesn't stop pandering to him.

I think it's Steph who says "he want to do it for you".

Also, AJ Lee post Daniel Bryan valet was the WORST. Fully solidified my belief that if WWE doesn't want women and men getting physical, then don't have them in story lines with each other

Nah, I ain't into lolli moe shit. I fully supported the Bravely Default "censorship" and I don't say "but she is 2,000 years old" when seeing little girls in games dress scandalously. Recettear is legit and not because of the art.
...did you ever get around to playing Katawa Shoujo or Hatoful Boyfriend?

AJ focused Raws were terrible and boring. Hated her promo style of talking slow and tilting her head. AJ as GM was a terrible idea.

I fully support Recettear. Such a great game. Just remember, the success of this game led to Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter!

not Katawa Shoujo. Thought Hatoful Boyfriend wasn't out yet. The pigeon one
That promo is his celebration after Mania so it's fitting that he thanks the fans. But it seems like he downplays himself in the process. People love him and chant FOR him. He was overlooked but he thrived because he was good and the audience saw it. I know the fans have played a part and it's good for them to recognise them but I think he downplays himself when saying that. I also hate how he says "these people" but that's just a pet peeve.
Also, that video you posted, was such an awesome moment. Could've been the start of something awesome if they hadn't put him on a feud with Kane. Imagine a HHH vs Bryan part 2 with that heat. And then the injury just threw everything out of the window. The guy had the worst luck, life is unfair.

Stro is furiously searching for an angry GIF right now.Everyone needs to pick up Recettear when it pops up during the steam sale. So dope.
That face Punk angle was a real dark period in retrospect. Like I hated it at the time, but the more I think about it the more I notice all the problems with it.
•Kane in 2011
•Heel Bryan then wasn't as good as Heel Bryan during the Mark Henry/Big Show feud because, again, he felt like a third wheel to AJ.
•Punk being a face
I think the Dolph feud before the D Bry feud was better honestly. At least we got a good match out of it. And Dolph had a great look with the short, bleached hair.

I wonder how many mental midgets think it's meant in the context of "Capitalism, you whore" instead of the obvious "onwards!" context.
