You aint kidding. Crowds arent going crazy for Bryan anymore because WWE is giving the audience no reason to. How often can you scream and yell for a superstar when the machine clearly doesnt want them to be it. Bryan is pretty much Superman #2 behind Cena. The guy who lost to Bray upon his return, got chumped at the rumble, and who legit made it look like he could lose to Kane? heh, ok.

Oh I agree. This is why I'm one of the people in the middle of ROMANISAMAZING and ROMANSUX. Roman looked excellent tonight, but I don't have confidence in Brock/Reigns. Especially as a WrestleMania main event. Though I do like the idea of Brock working younger guys. I believe the preferred term is Romansexuals. Be sensitive. Get in there, Roman. Nice, and deep like...

Dean was the most over of the night, this was Ziggler's or his year, not Reigns or Bryan.

In the end, this is how I feel.
Roman Reigns is improving and the match was great.
I'm still not looking forward to Brock/Roman.
See? You can feel both of those things at once and not explode.

Bryan isn't as over now as he was last year at this time, but to be fair, he was also more over then, for that 4 or 5 month period, than maybe any wrestler in history. I don't feel like I'm exaggerating there.
And since he's gotten back, what the hell is the crowd supposed to be excited about? He goes out like a chump at the Royal Rumble. He bitches about it very aggressively. He mostly works the mic like a heel when in the program with Reigns (even though Roman was, to me, a slam-dunk candidate for a huge heel push). He hits like four finishers on Reigns at Fast Lane and loses clean, no bones about it, in the middle of the ring.
Seriously, I think Daniel Bryan is the best wrestler in the world by a huge margin, but it's hard even for me to care about him as much as I did a year ago. WWE's booking has shown me that he isn't that important to them right now, and was just a vehicle to help look Roman look really strong.

He was in the ring with Bryan. Not discrediting Reigns because he played his role but everyone looks better when working with Bryan. I like Reigns but am in no way pumped for a brock/reigns match like some of the other posters on here. Reigns did not show "massive" improvement and showed nothing that would lead us to believe that him and brock will put on a good match. He actually did show massive improvement. Every he did was a lot more crisp and had a flow that was much improved than his match against Orton. It's partially because of Bryan, but mostly because Reigns got better. Cool you think it was massive. I didn't. Agree to disagree.

WrestleMania 31 > WrestleMania 29 That was the only one I didn't order. Can we pretend WrestleMania 29 didn't exist? Talk about a one match show. I quit watching regularly for a few months after that. Yah. Nothing can be as bad as mania 29. Ever.

WrestleMania 31 > WrestleMania 29 That was the only one I didn't order. The only match I enjoyed from 29 was The Shield vs. Orotn, Sheamus, and Big Show. You're right, though. WM29 sucked. I don't see 30 being any better. So far, each match confirmed has a part timer in it. Nothing against part timers, it's just becoming a WrestleMania tradition, and very annoying. WM29 had 3 part timers. So, they're equal to me as of now. Hopefully Kidd and Cesaro aren't on the pre-show AND retain their titles against whoever. Are you Rip Van Winkle? A lot has changed since you went to sleep, but I'm sure everyone can get you up to date.

And as a Reigns fan, who likes to fancy myself having some sort of logic/common sense...this is all I can really ask for. I wouldn't dream of everyone being like 'YES ROMAN YES' all of a sudden, but -- this was a glimmer of that potential I talked about being a fan of. The dude has it. Just needs to develop it. That so many are acknowledging, "Yeah, he's definitely growing. Props" -- I have a whole lot of respect for many on this board, tonight, after the past month of going back and forth. You don't work on developing "it" in the main event of Mania. You develop it and then you take the main event. Bryan did it last year. HBK did it. Austin did it. Rock did it. Cena did it. Reigns is the only guy who just gets handed the keys and gets to figure the sh*t out as he goes along. Miz main evented a Mania though in the last 10 years. So this is hardly the biggest travesty ever. But Reigns should be beating Rusev for the US Title this year. At which point he can figure out his Batista level of "it" until he's actually ready to be in the main event. So, being that Rollins/Ambrose have been around as long as he has, neither of them could conceivably deserve to main event WM, either, right? What about Wyatt? No potential there, either? And the only difference is one of those men has been out, due to surgery. Reigns. At what point do we ACTUALLY start using younger talent? Can you really tell me that after that match tonight, had he been around those few months to grow, the same as Ambrose/Rollins has had, he wouldn't be at that same level of delivering, most likely?

Only one person has kicked out of it. The finisher doesn't look bad, Roman looks great. It's the same as when only Warrior, Hogan and Bret kicked out of the Perfectplex. The elite. That being said, I agree that Bryan is not booked as a Superman.

I'm trying to watch NXT and the Network won't load. Dammit. Roman winning clearly led to so many people unsubscribing, WWE immediately shut down. Tomorrow night, RAW will be on long enough for Vince to announce they're filing for Bankruptcy while Reigns cries, on his knees, in the middle of the ring, and Bryan kicks him in the back of the skull, Heyman comes out, laughs, and the ECW banner drops... SWERVE.
