Red posted:I would agree. Everything I/we have ever read about Vince says he respects those who are ambitious. I can see how, in his worldview, Bryan's demeanor and approach come off as being some type of lazy. Bryan took a WWE employee survey that revealed he is one of the least ambitious people they have haha At least in terms of what they consider ambition to be

Endless Mike posted:My favorite part of this is that no one can say "WWE" fast but also accurate. At the end of a JBL Show, they had Paige doing a bumper and she says "Dubber Dubberee" one time and "Dubber Dubbee" the other. Chris Jericho has somehow always been really, really good at saying WWE really fast in interviews. Next time you see a Jericho interview, listen for his "Dubyewdubyewee". I started noticing it a couple years ago. Spikeguy posted:Daniel Bryan is the Gerald Ford of wrestling. Success happens to him. "A fireball destroyed France today and Daniel Bryan is champion. Now what are the chances of that ever happening?"

Maybe Vince argues against himself on Bryan's behalf because his lazy millennial rear end won't do it which is why he's ended up a main eventer

I bet that helped?

Then again Bryan had that stretch where Michael Cole *would not shut up* about how much he sucked. Then he was fired and they went as far as to tell him to just chill for a bit and they'd hire him right back. I guess he paid his dues. Or I might be mixing up the timeframe of all that, Heel Cole is a blur of why am I watching this.

I don't get how Mercury and Noble can be such good workers and such terrible agents. At least have Bray fight valiantly and be overwhelmed by the two giants instead of "BIG SHOW IS SO BIG, HIS FIST IS LIKE A KETTLE, LOOKIT" and then dumping him like a sack of poo poo. EDIT: Nope, Heel Cole was AFTER he got rehired as a babyface and was feuding with Cole's mancrush, Miz.

DeathChicken posted:Which is astounding given how he was treated after Cena beat him and the Wyatts silly. I feel like Cena booking exists in a vacuum independently of any other WWE booking. If you keep your distance you can look amazing and strong and huge like a supergiant. Anytime you're booked to be an enemy of Cena his gravitational pull slingshots you away from any major opportunities and kills all your momentum, but otherwise you're usually booked pretty strongly and it's possible to recover afterward. If you're booked to be a friend of Cena on the other hand, he just swallows you outright and you die.

I feel like the end of the rumble wouldn't have been as bad if it wasn't Big Show's Wimpy Nerd Punch that turned everyone into sacks of potatoes. Maybe, just maybe, if it wasn't literally the worst looking, fakest garbage move in the history of wrestling it would not have been so bad.

I might have this twisted, but wasn't the word that the writers and agents are actively discouraged from interacting? How are you supposed to lay out an entertaining hour-plus match that intertwines and progresses several storylines and kickstarts others when that's the case?
