Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread
Yup. It was a plain and simple "Let's **** on DBry, while using him to try to get some heels a rub" fest.
You're telling me that having the WWE title vacant for close to a month was good for the company in general? Everyone could see what was coming as soon as HHH/Orton got involved. There was no payoff expected, so why would we even tune in/order the PPVs to see the eventual "Bryan gets beat down/screwed" again and again and again?
Maybe if they were planning on giving him a legit chance at running with the ball it would have raised eyebrows and interest... it didn't though, so they will just chalk it up as a failure on DBry's part saying "we gave him the opportunities and the numbers didn't pan out." We have Triple H, Steph mocking Bryan's "YES! YES! YES!" (not as upset about this.)
We have the Big Show legitimately using "YES! YES! YES!" to try and get himself more over. When was the last time you saw another face legitimately try and steal another faces catchphrase to get himself over? Mankind using them in jest with the Rock? Whole different dynamic there. They're trying to phase Bryan out while keeping everything he brought to the table. It's a damn shame. I didn't see Stone Cold running around hulking up while telling the kids to eat their vitamins and say their prayers.
Blah, I'm rambling. I'll stop, but just know this whole storyline was completely pointless up to this point in time. If they're smart, they'll give DBry a run at the top some time around WM season. A LEGIT shot, that is. One where we know don't know that the eventual "payoff" is just phasing him out and wasting everyone's time.
EDIT: I will say this, because I don't want it mistaken. I don't hold this against VKM, HHH, Steph, Orton or the Big Show. This falls purely on the writing/creative team. The 'E needs to take a step back and take a long hard look at who they have on that team and why we've had to put up with their failed abortions of storylines for the last few years.
