Bryan knows his place now. Underneath Big Red Sexy's boot.
You missed it Ithil. I had you beat last night! You cheated with your use of a weapon. One-on-one, I've got you beat. I'm the real Kane clone, not you, damn it!

Often times the wrestlers find out ahead of time when it's actually announced. They were going to hide Rey Mysterio's for him if he worked Wrestlemania, but they got pissed when he didn't so they announced it. R-Truth they knew over a month in advance, but held off on the suspension due to the tag program at Survivor Series.
No one can beat me. It's one of those universal facts.
Sounds like a rematch, Soulplaya vs. Ithil.
I totally call WrassleGAF dibs on AJ. Can't deny!
FORGET YOU AII.
You done goofed now. You'll never have AJ.
In order to get AJ, I must become her.
What are you kidding? I powered out of that weak chokeslam of your's, and sent you straight to hell!
It's on!
featuring She-Kane.
I got this in the bag. Get the bed ready Broad, daddy's coming home!
Its either one or the other: family issue and he wants to take care of it or WWE doctor thinks something is wrong and has ordered him to take time off.

So after watching RAW last night, I have no words. I am speechless. Its 2005 all over again.
What? Bryan push never failed, it became even better than what they thought it would be, and then when they tried to kill it at WM, it backfired and sent Bryan into stardom.

I just hope everything is ok. Cody is great and is always in my Fav Five.
I finally got his WWE Rumbler figure too.
So you are saying that Bryan overcame the odds and should be called now Bryan Cena?
The whole Punk/Bryan feud so far has been pretty old school booking for the most part. It makes me think that they probably have input in their feud and creative isn't responsible for it.
Your wrong with the whole thing with Big Show that storyline was well written and was getting alot of rave reviews on Bryan and Vinny and the podcasts I listen too. When that was happening he was giving great promos and the whole storyline combine with the Yes! was getting him over as a heel. The wins were a way to get heat and he won clean at the two pay per views at well.
I give credit to him and the WWE to make him a star before the Wrestlemania loss. The Wrestlemania loss make him a super star and thats thanks to the fans in attendance that day.
Sorry but I hated Bryan before he came the heel, he ain't playing the chickenshit heel, hes playing the 'I know all the rules so I can win matches easily' heel. And they didn't bury Bryan if that was the case you wouldn't here the 'No'/'Yes' chants.
In fact WWE has possibly booked him the best since December and created a star.
The words 'burial' and 'chickenshit' are over used

He got over due to the YES! stuff and promo work. Both of which were because of him. He created it and did it on his own. WWE did not come up with the YES! stuff. Only thing I can give WWE credit for is giving him the title at the end of 2011 and letting him hold it 4 months until Mania, which is basically the time period they don't give a shit about the title(see Miz title run). They definitely did bury him before his world title win. He lost every week for 4 or 5 months. The only person he beat was Heath Slater. They had no intention of giving the guy a continued push either. They were set to drop him back down to midcard after Mania until the fans shit all over them for what they did to him.
It seems to me SOMEONE in the company likes him. I would say that Creative seems to like him, as far as we can guess the original plan for the WHC was for Henry to keep it until WM and face Bryan, but Vince scrapped the whole thing suddenly after Henry got an injury.
It seems to me it's certain of the higher ups that don't think of Bryan as important or notable. We'll see if these next few months can change their minds for good. Until now they've more given concessions to either the writers or the fans until now, rather than looking to push him (eg, making the YES shirt after the crowd response, letting Creative do what they wanted with him for most of his WHC run, etc).
This has really been my favorite thing about the whole Bryan push. He'll take every opportunity he can get to win a match. The only thing that would really make it better for me is if they made him out to be more of a threat in the ring. Punk is always going to make him look like a threat, because he's that good. I mean in his other matches. I'd like to see him reach ***** ****** (I think this is the appropriate use of this WrassleGAF meme) levels of intensity in the ring when he gets backed into a corner and can't get an easy out. Granted, I just got my cable fixed so I haven't seen a D. Brine match since Wrestlemania, so maybe they're doing that and I just don't know. I kind of doubt it though.
Sheamoose is so over with the crowd that he'll be WHC for a while won't he
It's the only way they can justify their long build up and push of him. There's probably plenty in the company that realise they totally botched his push and title reign at WM, but they already made their bed here, it's too late.
D-Bry took the ball and ran with it. That's how the WWE has always worked though. They give someone the title and they either impress them or they don't (Swagger, Del Rio for example). When they do they're pretty much set for life unless they start doing drugs or get DUI's.
Bryan has arrived, I have no doubt about that now.

Not in this case. The storyline behind the scenes was reported to be to book Cody as the worst champion ever. Seriously, the guy never won a match as champion
It's worth noting that while Bryan is a "cowardly" type heel, he always plays it in a way that makes him seem crafty or sneaky, rather than just chickenshit. People like Miz were booked like losers their whole run.
Bryan's WHC reign was very well booked from the start, until the day before WM. He had a very gradual heel turn, and even after he was heel, the character formed slowly, and his booking with Big Show and AJ was good. Most of all it was consistent, and I can only put this down to it being on Smackdown (which Vince no longer gives a shit about so the writers have more free reign), and also during the time of year the world titles are least important at, so they have even fewer eyes on them when booking it.
His run had little to no interference from the likes of Vince until WM, which helped in a big way, in regards to making him one of the most consistently entertaining parts of WWE, in and out of matches.

I still can't totally blame Del Rio, though, he was booked horribly. Losing the title pointlessly to Cena then winning it back two weeks later? Why?
He had two incredibly short title reigns that made him look like a chump instead of one 3 month reign. It didn't help that he was booked like crap for months beforehand and his character had been stagnant for even longer.
Well they were real close to giving him the title Sunday but didn't do it which is fine because they are building the feud better with the AJ stuff. So I do expect him to get the title at No Way Out.
Del Rio should have won at WM (although, in hindsight, knowing that was Edge's last match, it's nice that Edge got a win). His whole shtick was the destiny thing, and they built it up by having him win the Rumble and it should have culminated in a the win and a "coronation" of sorts the next night on Raw. But they fucked it up and he floundered after that.
The best comparision is that Bryan is now the new Eddie Guerrero, a ring veteran who you can pretty much put in any situation and have it work.
Well he was a fraud of a champion who only cashed in a briefcase and never beat anybody*
*But all the participants in the MITB match clean, Punk Clean, Mysterio clean..
Yep, never beat anybody.
Also:
WWE only cares about plot holes when the little jimmies notice them.
Well he certainly doesn't dislike him. If he did Bryan would never have won MITB, become WHC or gotten the WWE title shots he does now.
I don't reckon that Vince thinks of him as a big star, like you say, at least not yet, (hence the misuse of him at WM, and lack of TV time in his feud with Punk). We'll see how this WWE title feud affects his image in Vince's eyes. He's definitely not Vince's usual kind of guy, but then again neither was Punk, yet Vince likes him a lot and obviously considers him a star now.
I'm sure the t-shirt sales won't hurt his opinion of Bryan.
Bryan seems to be the same height as Kurt Angle, he is taller than what Eddie was, Jericho is 5 cm taller than him, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels are 7cm taller. He doesn't need to be 6-inch taller to be the WWE champion, he just needs a few more weeks to do so.

You know it's funny of them saying it's a verbal contract and thus not legitimate when they ran a fucking angle the week before ON THE VERY BASIS THAT A VERBAL CONTRACT IS LEGITIMATE BETWEEN LESNAR AND WWE.
Although Edge is clearly responsible for screwing Del Rio push, I don't actually blame him. He got the victory which was very significant since it was the only time he retained the WWE/WHC title at WM, and that he managed to retire as a Champion. Different situations, but Bret should have retired in the same way, as champion and then vacating the title.
However they should have made Del Rio champion the next SD in a match against Christian and then have them feud for the next few months, instead of giving the title to Christian straight away. That's where I think Edge's hand went in too far, he most likely asked Vince to put the title on Christian just as a farewell favor to him after all hardworking those years.
1)Edge didn't know it would be his last match
2)Outside of a wink and now trying to piggybank on the word Si, there is no depth to the character - unlike Bryan we know he is a master of 100 submissions, a vegan, drives an electric car, trained by Shawn and Regal.
3)Miz, Dolph, Swagger, Cody, Del Rio need more depth. And outf those Cody has the most depth to his character.
The 18s match was Vince's plan all along
Exactly remember the phrase controversy creates cash, Vince used all the smarks as a viral campaign to get the word 'Yes' even more over.
d) anything goes, no holds barred!
