    Anyone who doesn't like Bryan doesn't like pro wrestling. The man's a genius in the ring and the fan's knew it tonight. He steals the show once again and has the crowd ****ting on the rest of the show. Brilliant stuff. Teaches WWE HHH bum buddies don't mean jack **** to the audience. Batista look gassed up after a minute. I felt for Rey coming out at 30 and getting ****ted on cause he wasn't Bryan.

    Huge Daniel Bryan fan but does he shift much merchandise? Does he sell more PPVs than the guys currently occupying the top of the card (Cena/Orton)?

    Ratings and the above stuff are important things for WWE, does he attract viewers in key segments etc....?

    Genuine question because all of this is important info as to why WWE are doing what they are doing. WWE have no interest in appeasing the niche market within an already niche market.

    And this is coming from someone who was gutted he wasn't in the rumble.


    He is not Ryder, pretty sure he moves merch. Ratings? Has had some stinker quarters but also done quite well with some. Ratings with him as champion on SD were solid.


    Although apart from Cena who really moves the needle? No proof that the likes of Sheamus, Orton or anyone has meant sweet **** all over the years.

    Was harsh that Reigns dumped Rollins out aswell considering the fact he reprimanded Ambrose for trying to dump Reigns out first off.

    I wonder will this add another edge to the angle or will WWE just run with the general idea that it's a split now between Reigns and the other 2

    Triple Threat for the United States championship at Wrestlmania, i'm calling it now, since it looks unlikely we'll get Wyatts Vs Shield at Wrestlmania.

    Nearly convinced myself to stay up and pay for this. A few hours fresher and a few quid the richer and no worse off for it. Between the Outlaws, Wyatt and Batista this was night of the undeserved pushes. Batista is going to get fierce abuse tonight. It's not even going to be a divide in the crowd like with Cena. Shaping to be one of the worst Wrestlemanias in history.

    unless hes getting to face Undertaker they're ****ing him over for no good reason
    They are doing it because he's not suppose to be over and HHH can't accept that DB can be a star with out spending 10+ years jobbing his way up...

    When you have a whole stadium chanting for a specific wrestler and reject one of your top faces (Ray) I think we've gone beyond niche market in a niche market; esp. as it's been going on for a year even when attempting to bury him with repeated losses and gimmics.
