Re: Another HUGE injury for WWE!
I wholeheartedly agree. There's things they can do. Pair them with someone and let that guy get a rub for a bit. Hell, with the hoops Roman is jumping through, they could have Cena be assigned "Quality Assurance" or something by the "board of directors" and serve as a foil to the Authority while he heals, and then maybe you have Triple H vs Cena at Summerslam.
If the fans don't care, there's no reason to do the history. It's not exactly Genrico/Steen. I understand the magnitude fine. These are 4 of the biggest international wrestling stars in the world, and 4 amazing talents. But I think you are vastly overestimating how much and how quickly that ability will translate into being over. They have to find a way to connect to a new audience. They will all do it, but it'll probably take some time.
Maybe. I think the hardest of hardcore fans may be okay with that. But 2 years ago they booed Rey Mysterio and last year they booed The Rock after Bryan didn't win. If he's in the Rumble or at Fast Lane and doesn't win a spot in the Main Event, I think you'll see a similar reaction.
I think there's some truth to that, but I don't think it's necessarily "he's fine, but I'm not going to clear him anyway". I think it's more about taking a more cautious approach. But honestly, as far as any of us discussing whether or not he should be clear, it's pretty ridiculous. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a neurosurgeon. And frankly, neither is Daniel Bryan. So, we know one guy said yes, and one guy said no. Logically, does it make any sense to risk it, especially given the lawsuits and what the longterm effects on Bryan himself could be?
I just don't see it, personally. He will get over, of that I have little doubt. But really, who in history has gotten that over, that fast, in WWE? Undertaker? Brock Lesnar? Big Show? Those guys had amazing size to fall back on. Maybe the Shield or Wyatts, but they had numbers and had been in developmental. I think it just normally takes time to find that connection with fans, and expecting anyone to do that, especially someone who has never appeared regularly on American television, is asking too much.
