Daniel Bryan vs. Del Rio could be a really brilliant inter-promotional feud.
They're so similar. Both are submission specialists, both have a gimmick which involves them being wolves in sheeps clothing - they seem happy and smile a lot but are actually ruthless and brutal. It's just that Del Rio is more heelish.
They could have an AMAZING feud. Especially if Bryan shows more tweener characteristsics, mingling his face character with the kind of intensity he showed on NXT and in the attack on Cena.
Given how good they both are on the mic, it wouldn't be a case of one guy carrying the other either. They're both just magnificent and seem very evenly matched. And it could show people how serious a threat Bryan can be.
Anyone agree?
It would be a great feud to see. The match they had at King of the Ring this year was really good and I think their matches would only get better if they were in a serious feud.
Would I like to see the fued- Yes
Would WWE make me enjoy the fued- Yes
Would WWE screw the match up- Yes
As great as it would be, both would have to wrestle under the WWE style. Thats one of the reasons why people go to FCW. Both men could probably bring it in a great fued. The mic skills between the two are great that the promos would work. The only problem I would see is the style of match that I would want to see is one of those 20+ minute matches, where it would get around 8-12 minutes max.
I'd definenetly play up the fact that both men appear harmless on the surface. Del Rio and Bryan seem equally goofy when they walk to the ring, but this underestimation works in both their favours.
So to have them turn that strength against one another is an interesting concept. Rather than just fighting guys who seem completely nonplussed by their respective antics.
What I'm trying to say is that they're evenly matched and they both share the same strengths.
It's been acknowledged on TV that people can't believe Bryan is the US Champ (Vince McMahon said something to that effect if I remember correctly.), he's constantly called a nerd and a fool but has had some impressive victories nonetheless.
Del Rio appeared out of nowhere and made Mysterio tap out. Throughout so many of his matches he just seems to be smiling and happy, like Bryan, he doesn't seem to take it seriously.
Two guys who share the same kind of approach to it all could present us with a great feud. Just saying.
I'd love to see this feud. I'm not an Alberto Del Rio fan at all, but you painted a pretty fun picture for me when you talked about playing up there similarity of a "wolf in sheeps clothing..." one bad, one good.. two sides of the same coin. Plus they are both great wrestlers.
What's wrong with them wrestling a "WWE style match". They've both had loads of great matches in WWE this year. There's no reason to believe they wouldn't have a great match with each other.
Well I haven't seen Del Rio in action all that much, but I love Bryan's matches. I think it would be good.
