See now the reaction is going to be "See, these guys aren't draws. Can 'em!"
I say, this feud has been handled POORLY. Sheamus has been treated like crap what with the stupid costume, getting annihilated by HHH, losing to Mark Henry, and hell, he was probably the most underdeveloped World Champion ever, which I don't think he ever recovered from. Daniel Bryan? Dude has been fucking directionless ever since he won the US Title. First its Ziggler...two random matches with no build, and that's it. Then its Ted DiBiase...a countless series of matches where Bryan won almost all of them, begging the question how is Ted even worth of the US Title at all? Next, Tyson Kidd was set up to be his rival...oh nevermind, he got killed by Mark Henry in the very next match. And then, Bryan has been sneak attacked by Miz what seems like a dozen times, with no pay off or anything. Its like "Hey we got have Miz kill somebody...go jump Bryan!".
By the time its over, you have tow guys I personally have been conditioned not to care about them. The BEST thing I can say about them is that they bring it in the ring, and they really do. Bryan can work with just about anybody and Sheamus stepping up pretty much saved his title reigns from being complete disasters. But when creative hands you shit, then shit is the final result.
Great writing & presentation can cover up the deficiencies of a talent, but great talent can't cover up for bad writing & presentation.
And the fact that guys like Stone Cold & The Rock are pulling in the numbers is a sign that the stars of the Attitude Era were presented well and people remember that.
