Why Are People Saying Daniel Bryan Shouldn't Be Pushed Because He "Already Had His Moment?"

Like, what does that even mean?

People say DB, the most over face on the roster that fans would have gone ballistic for if he won and would have cheered intensely had he been endorsed by The Rock, shouldn't have won the Royal Rumble because he "already had his moment." What? The most over guy on the roster is supposed to be limited like that? Hogan wasn't. Was Hogan supposed to midcard after he slammed Andre the Giant? The Rock was a 10 time heavyweight champion...and also a Royal Rumble winner. Austin won multiple Rumbles and had numerous high points in his career. John Cena is a FIFTEEN TIME heavyweight champ, 22 time champ overall and has won multiple special event PPVs like Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank and 2 Royal Rumbles.

Half of Undertaker's CAREER was built on Wrestlemania Moments! That angle was popular and produced great matches and made the company money for years!

So why is Bryan supposed to be suppressed because he won the belt at last year's WM?

I don't get it!

Hogan main evented 9 times I think. Austin had 2 wm main events. I think while the rock main evented 3.How much times has Cena main evented exactly?What about Triple H and it's funny because he came from a torn quad and still won the rumble.
It's just that Bryan is not their cup of tea I mean people have different tastes and have their personal favourites that they want on top

Daniel Bryan should get pushed, but he shouldn't win the Rumble because the fans want 1 specific guy to win.. WWE would be shit if the most popular guy won constantly.. WWE is trying to create new stars with guys like Roman Reigns, and the fans won't allow them to. Daniel Bryan is already a star and will be as long as he's in WWE.

It was people who don't like Bryan or Reigns marks saying it. I even heard Bryan being compared to Cena if he were to main even again :booklel

Let's see if they sing the same tune next year after Reigns main events Mania this year.


The biggest match they could have gotten was Bryan vs Lesnar. Excellent match through a story standpoint and wrestling. Just amazing how wrestling fans don't want something that could have been legendary.

:punkout

:lol @ this video. 60 seconds in and I've already called bullshit and stopped listening to this guy's "reasoning". Yeah, the entire arena boos this guy out of the building, so they send out the most over guy in the history of the business as damage control, and he somehow gets booed as well. And this is a positive thing? This is Batista last year two times over. Yeah, positive...

And this whole "Bryan can't beat Lesnar since Lesnar has destroyed everbody already" bullshit is fuckin ridiculous. This is pro-wrestling, not MMA. CM Punk had the title for over a fuckin year after beating guys like Cena, Ryback, Big Show, Kane, etc and he was usually overmatched in weight by at least 100lbs, if not more. Who seriously thinks this is an excuse for Bryan not winning the Rumble and facing Lesnar? Using this theory, Hogan stood no chance against Andre who had supposedly never lost a match up until that point, so should Hogan have been replaced with someone else? Uhh, if that was the case, this forum probably wouldn't exist.

Reigns fans are grasping at straws in order to make up for the fact that their guy can't talk his way out of a fuckin cardboard box, is mediocre at best in the ring and was far behind others in terms of deserving a Mania main event.

Okay lets go back to last year, where everyone was mad at Batista because he didn't need the rub of winning the rumble and they wanted to give someone else a chance instead of seeing someone who we've all seen main event before, aka he didn't need it we've already seen him do this before, he has had his moment.

Now we go to Bryan who just had a moment at wrestlemania and is the biggest face in the company, the most succesful face in years being liked by all even though he was gone for almost a year, but he needs to win the rumble why? You want him to main event again fine, he will if fans want it enough, but don't be a hypocrite about it, yesterday was disgusting to be a fan, spoiled brats who complain that its not going the way they want, lets push the guy who doesn't need it, but wait wwe doesn't give new guys a chance >.> Daniel did not need to win the rumble, not because he had his moment, but because he is already the biggest star in the company, it is no different then everyone bitching about Batista last year.

Ok, I'll work with this. The problem is that Reigns isn't even the 2nd best option to win the Rumble. Guys like Ambrose, Wyatt, and Ziggler are all more ready than he is. THAT is the problem.

If Reigns is indeed ready, he wouldn't have needed that over-the-top booking that he's received for over a year. His matches, character, mic work would've spoke for itself. If Reigns is as over as his fans say he is, then by gawd (Jim Ross voice) test it by having him go toe to toe with Daniel Bryan in a staredown in the center of the ring last night. If Reigns is indeed ready, they should embrace the obstacles instead of trying to avoid them.

I didn't care for back to back Wrestlemania's with the same underdog story involving Bryan. He "overcame" the odds last year by beating Evolution. If he had faced Lesnar this year, they probably would've beaten him down each week before winning again at Mania.

I have no problem with him being a main eventer. He is one and should be treated as such but the WWE has to develop new stars. The product shouldn't revolve around one wrestler. The WWE should have more than one hot babyface.

Of course, but they should be doing the opposite of what they are now. Not holding many of the current top stars down to elevate Reigns, they should be trying to elevate Reigns to their level

Bryan main eventing 2 consecutive 'Manias would not hold down any talent and would be the right decision as he is the most over guy in the company right now. It's not like with Cena where he's been hogging the spotlight for over a decade, it's more like Austin who was at the peak of their careers when being pushed constantly

It'd have been like saying Austin shouldn't have won the 01 Rumble to face Rocky because he had had his moment at the top and would be holding the likes of Angle and Jericho back, which he didn't because why would it? Austin and Rock were the top guys, so they got the top match at WM. That was no slight on Angle or Jericho, they were still top guys who would eventully get their time in the sun

He should be in the main event calibre matches again and even the main event of Wrestlemania. However. Some people want Bryan to main event everything and win everything perpetually and don't realise it will lead to a cena 2.0 type situation.

I also don't want to see Hogan / Flair > Stone Cold > The Rock > Cena > Bryan in terms of the timeline of the guy.

When people say that it's not them saying Daniel Bryan shouldn't have any more accomplishments or he shouldn't ever headline again. Some people just don't want to see the same exact story over again less than a year later. Some people think Daniel Bryan doesn't have to headline every Mania main event just cause he's popular. Some people want others to get some shine too.

Basically, "he already had his moment" ='s anyone of those things. It's also them saying it's not like he was given nothing (like some of his fans try and make it seem) "he had his moment".

Personally, I definitely wouldn't mind Bryan winning again, but I can see why people would say that. Everyone has different taste, not everyone wants it to be the Bryan show, not everyone wants to get attacked for not liking Bryan or for liking Reigns.

We'll see. Bryan gets compared to Cena and people say "main event every mania" like 2 in a row equals 5 or 10 manias. Bryan vs Lesnar made the most sense and if you didn't want another Bryan vs Authority angle then you would've been happy. I doubt it would have been the same angle, would've been the ultimate David vs Goliath story. All Bryan, Heyman and Brock unless some big nosed guy wanted to butt his head in.

I've seen enough people say he's had his moment. When Reigns has his this year I do wonder if certain people will say the same thing whether he had a successful year or not.

The best way to consolidate as a main eventer is winning wrestlemania, Bryan is amazing and the most over guy in the WWE, but if Bryan were to retire or to skip another 8 months because of an injury, WWE needs more face main eventers, Reigns appeal to the casuals specially womans, while Bryan appeals to everyone in general, why the 2 of them cant coexist?.

Bryan marks are just being greedy, if Bryan main event this wrestlemania, next year they will keep complaining saying stuff like "Its the time to make a new megastar like austin or rock, bryan to win the rumble and ME wrestlemania!.

Its pure bullshit, with the status of WWE this days, Reigns needs to be developed fast, the ring and mic skills can be poolished (to the max of reigns can bring) with time.

IT ISNT WRONG TO BE VOCAL ABOUT THE GUY YOU LIKE AND THE THINGS YOU DISLIKE, BUT TAKING IT TO THIS EXTENT RUINING THE SHOW FOR EVERYONE WHO LIKES OTHER WRESTLERS NOT JUST REIGNS,IT JUST MAKE MANY HERE LOOK LIKE HYPOCRITS, AT LEAST HAVE THE COJONES TO ACTUALLY ADMIT THAT YOU'RE BEING SELFISH BECAUSE YOU LIKE BRYAN.

I find it funny that these people say that Bryan shouldn't main event another wrestlemania because he already had his moment last year, but I bet they wasn't singing this same tune When Austin,Rock, Hogan, Michaels, Triple H etc all had multiple Wrestlemania main events. The double standards these days is insane.
 
#31 ·
It's one of the dumbest arguments I've ever read on this website. Stone Cold basically won 3 Rumbles, missed the next one on injury, and won the one after that too. Why? Because he was fucking over and that's who the fans wanted to see. He wasn't tossed out unceremoniously halfway through the 98 Rumble only for Steve Blackman to win.

Not saying Bryan has to main event every ppv for the next 10 years like Cena did, but to say "he had his chance" is the fucking ridiculous. Made even worse that the most organically over guy in 15 years just keeps getting pushed aside for hand-picked replacements.
 
#33 ·
Because Daniel Bryan himself isn't over. Only the "Yes!" "Daniel Bryan!" and "You Deserve It!" chants are over.

This fake outrage is gimmicky and short sided.

Nobody says Bryan shouldn't be pushed, and I'm convinced a lot of people don't know what a push is, because their use of the word is flat out wrong.

Also, he is already over....they are trying to get another guy over.

What's the problem? Should Bryan mainevent everything? Should he hold the title forever? Should they bring back old tournaments so he can win those too?

What exactly should they do?
 
#36 ·
I agree with this. I like Bryan, I agree he should be pushed, but losing the rumble does not mean it's end of the world. 28 other guys lost too, are they buried?
And for a while, people were mad that the WWE were not making new stars, well now they're trying. Of course, people are upset at this. Bray looked strong (though I agree he was eliminated horribly), and Seth had a great match as well.
