It was said this week by a WWE source that no matter how hard the fans rally for Daniel Bryan and no matter how much he gets over, top WWE officials are not going to see him as a top guy that can be the face of the company.

Before the news came out this week that WWE was planning on doing Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania 31, there was a feeling among many that officials would not give in like they did last year and Bryan wouldn't be getting pushed to the WrestleMania main event again.

With that said, there was a rumor that Ziggler vs. Bryan could open WrestleMania 31

This fucking company. fpalm

I hope Ziggler and Bryan steal the show and embarrass everyone else.

They really don't get it, do they?

It's not 100% about Daniel Bryan. There are many factors.

Mistreating not only Daniel Bryan, also other fans favorites like Ziggler or Ambrose.

Pushing Roman Reigns to the moon while he is clearly not ready yet.

Keeping The Big Show and Kane in the main event scene over young, fresh heels in Wyatt, Rusev, Barrett, Cesaro.

Overall terrible booking.

He doesn't have to be the face of the company just treat him like a top guy.

Yes while opening wm might seem bad the opening match usually get a fair amount of time. With the exception of wm28

So they are saying that no matter how good you are or how over you are, we will not treat you like a star unless WE like you. On the other hand, no matter how bad the fans react to you, no matter how bad you are on the mic or in the ring, if WE like you, you are being pushed to the moon no matter what. Fucking hell.

What makes it worse is what makes them like you is having DA Look or connections (or both) instead of what SHOULD matter like, I don't know, being able to talk and wrestle, or a word Vince has forgotten in his old age, TALENT.

What bothers me is that Vince has the nerve to talk about people not grabbing the brass ring. How can they when the only 2 WWE has have already been handed to Cena and Reigns, and are non-returnable?

The moment when Bryan marks read this, the moment they get a heart attack.

The WWE (or should I say Vince) really doesn't get it does he? :maury

I will be happy with Bryan/Ziggler if it is given the time it deserves, and if it opens the show, even better, b/c it will give the audience all kinds of time to show the WWE how wrong they are about Bryan's placement on the card.

I will be happy with getting to see the match, but if Vince thinks that giving us that match will pacify the Anti-Reigns sentiment or fans shitting on the show, well like I said above he really doesn't get it does he :lol

In a way it means whatever derogatory term you like to use for the MAJORITY of the fanbase that are Bryan fans "win", they get a great match and they still get to shit on WM.

:vince5 Well Daniel, You draw ratings, you sell merch and you are by far the most over guy on the roster.

You're not main event material though because you have long hair, a scruffy beard and Stephanie is taller than you. H

I'm sorry kid those are the rules. Now get out there and warm the crowd up for Roman ! :vince2
Stephanie isn't taller. It's her heels that make her look so.

Is LordsofPain a legit source??

if it is true, I wouldn't be surprised to be honest if they did stick them on first and give them 10 minutes just for Vince to stick his middle finger towards his audience for messing up another rumble. I'm going to love the shitfest his main events will get. WWE can't be this stupid, I be utterly amazed if this is true though they done some messed up things but stinking their most over guy in the opening match wouldn't be too smart.

Bryan should be treated like a big deal, he is their 2nd biggest star after all . Sorry but without D Bryan in a high-profile feud I'm downloading, not buying Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania is the show where the workhorses really shine having long matches, and if I hear from officials Bryan countain-jerking with Ziggler in a shitty 12 minutes opener I'm simply not buying the Show. It's their choice if they want to make bad business however.

Also Wyatt, dude threw Bryan over the top rope and pinned Cena and Reigns in the past. He needs a big storyline too.

WWE without pushing the right guys is kinda useless IMHO.

Smart idea. Put Bryan and Ziggler in the opening match and only give them 5 minutes so they can't steal the show.

With the rumored card, it's not even worth the gigabytes of downloading.
