Is Daniel Bryan going to be going for the IC title too at Wrestlemania in some sort of five way match that includes R-Truth?

I mean, to be fair... John Cena is in the US Title scene right now.
Cena is moving his way down the ladder as he ages...DBry should be moving up...

what if Dark One is really Brock Lesnar disguised as someone using a Brock Lesnar avatar, i could see Brokc doing that.
what if the reason he stormed out of raw was because he read something mean someone said on tpwwforums?

Heisenberg is that u?
Multi man Ladder Match for the IC Title wouldn't be a bad thing. Sort of like a replacement MITB match. Just, Bryan doesn't seem right for Bryan.
Hopefully this was just to give him something to do on TV.
This thing with Axel is great in terms of giving him something to do. However, did they forget he went over the top rope on Raw via Ambrose? That plothole will annoy me.
Also, an issue with this IC picture is that there's a couple of the guys that could do with the so at Mania. Could Ambrose afford another loss on PPV? Does Ziggler need the win having lost steam progressively since Survivor Series? If Bryan is in the match, will the crowd accept him not winning, having already dropped down the card? Wade is fresh back, losing non-titles matches every show, can he afford to lose with the title on the line?

"You guys wants Bryan vs Ziggler at Mania? Sure, but they're in an IC title clusterfuck and R-truth is winning. Hell, toss in Ambrose too! Now stop whining and make Roman look strong"

R-Truth finds Ambrose backstage and gives him the IC Title belt.
Kind of hope it was a kids replica belt just to continue the shenanigans. Go all out with Carmen Sandiego type shenanigans until Barrett finally finds the belt by Mania and loses it again to a new champion.

Should have been put into the US title picture instead but they must feel they need more star power for the IC. Bryan is the perfect talent to build up the mid card titles.

Why the fuck is Bryan in the IC Title scene? Beyond stupid at this point. OK, granted, Bryan should want to be a champion and should want the IC Title if he can't win the WWE World Title, but he should have a personal issue at WrestleMania. But the company has no real top heel that isn't tied up to give Bryan the time of day. Oops. Should have just had Bryan beat Reigns and then do Brock vs. Bryan and Rollins vs. Orton vs. Reigns if that were the case.

Curtis Axel bringing a clock with him to the ring is pretty funny, but Axel losing to Fandango when Axel is the one with something to do is not.

The IC Title scene should be resolved with a tournament to decide Barrett's true contender at WrestleMania. Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, Daniel Bryan, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Fandango and, fuck it...Goldust (?) can be involved.
* Ambrose vs. R-Truth
* Goldust vs. Fandango
* Ziggler vs. Slater
* Bryan vs. Swagger
Truth hypes up the first round match with Ambrose by stating that Ambrose disrespected him by helping him against Bad News Barrett. It means that Ambrose doesn't sweat Truth being in contention with him. But now Ambrose is going to get got. Truth plays heel, but Ambrose wins decisively with Dirty Deeds.
Goldust uses his experience against Fandango, but Stardust costs his brother the match and Johnny Curtis advances to the show where he defeated Chris Jericho.
Ziggler and Slater actually have a good match, with Ziggler sort of toying with Slater, but it actually costing him some ground. Slater even steals the Zig Zag at one point, but it only gets two. Ziggler battles back and wins the match cleanly to advance.
Bryan and Swagger work a big man/little match match, with Swagger being the dominant one, but still remaining a face, technically. It comes down the YES! Lock vs. the Patriot Lock, and Bryan's submission wins out. Swagger and Bryan shake hands after their great match.
Ambrose forces Fandango to submit to the Crossface Chickenwing, and Rosa Mendes leaves with Ambrose instead of Fandango, because Ambrose is just that sort of guy. This allows Johnny Curtis to move on from the Fandango gimmick in time. He enters the Battle Royal to try and impress Rosa and prove that he's an alpha male here in the WWE.
Ziggler and Bryan tear it up, but Bryan gets the clean win and moves onto the finals against Ambrose, where he loses once Sheamus returns and makes Daniel Bryan his target.

Fandango has sort of turned babyface on the shows nobody watches and this Axelmania angle seems to be a bit of a comedy jobber role. Axel likely won't win a single match until Mania and then everyone will gang up to throw him out first or something. Then somebody with no build will win and be promptly forgotten about.

If you think Daniel Bryan being in the IC Hunt is stupid why are you booking him in it in your scenario?
I think the announcers sort of set up an inkling for an idea that at WrestleMania John Cena and Daniel Bryan will face off. They are both coming off big losses and need to prove themselves back into the main event scene.

I don't care who has a story going on and who doesn't, Curtis Axel should never, ever, ever, ever... ever... ever, ever... be picking up wins over Johnny Curtis.

That, too. This little gimmick he has going on right now isn't really something that requires him to win matches anyway. It's a silly gimmick where a jobber is claiming rights to the main event at WrestleMania. Just because he has a thing going on with his character doesn't automatically mean it must translate to wins.
Mr. Nerfect
02-25-2015, 08:44 PM
Cena vs. Bryan would be the best. Have Rusev defend the US Title against someone else. Rob Van Dam could be brought in to challenge Rusev. RVD has a bit of a streak at WrestleMania, and Rusev could end that with a submission. The WWE could beg Chris Jericho to work the date if he is available. The US Title is the only thing he hasn't won. Jack Swagger could find inspiration from Hulk Hogan, come out to Real American and win the title at last. Ryback could have been molded into a contender. Have Dolph Ziggler earn a US Title shot. Fuck it, bring in The Rock and play off their previous encounters.

Disagreed. At this point in time, Fandango needs a reinvention. Axel is working on his at the moment.

I think the announcers sort of set up an inkling for an idea that at WrestleMania John Cena and Daniel Bryan will face off. They are both coming off big losses and need to prove themselves back into the main event scene.
Because he's in it now. And because it would make sense that a guy would want to be a champion. But they should have put Bryan in a tag team with Ziggler against Cesaro and Kidd if they wanted him in a mid-card title match.
The truth is, Bryan should have had a personal issue all set-up and waiting for him. Even Seth Rollins mocking Bryan and reminding him that he has a shot whenever he wants, and inserting Bryan into the Rollins vs. Orton program would have been something. You could have it for the Money in the Bank contract, so that fans can still dream about Bryan possibly ending up in the main event of WrestleMania -- taking on the winner of Brock vs. Reigns.

Fandango needs to be looking good because he actually has potential. A fuckton of it. It seems like they've subtly turned him face and losing to a jobber like Axel is ridiculously counter-productive.
And again... Axel's "re-invention" is a jobber gimmick. It isn't exactly something that requires him to look like a beast to pull off. It's silly. He can lose left and right and still claim being the rightful number one contender to the world title. Fandango should be working his way FAR past Axel.
Mr. Nerfect
02-25-2015, 08:52 PM
They haven't subtly turned him face -- they've botched the fucking gimmick and now he's working face because they've got nothing for him. Reboot time. Agreed on his potential.
Mr. Nerfect
02-25-2015, 08:53 PM
They shouldn't have been booked against each other in the first place.
#1-norm-fan
02-25-2015, 08:55 PM
Listen, I'm not one to give WWE booking credit, but it's been a few weeks of him feuding with a heel and actually working more of a face style in the matches. And now this. He could suddenly be a heel again tomorrow but as long as they keep this up, I'm not gonna hope for it to end by him starting to job to heel jobbers.
Cena is moving his way down the ladder as he ages...DBry should be moving up...
because he's benjamin fuckin' button

The Only reason I could see Cena Vs Bryan is a #1 contender match but the problem is both are coming off Losses
If that happens though it basically sews up Sheamus coming back Vs Rusev

Call in The Rock. Pay him a lot of money to face Rusev.

I wish they could have a younger babyface to beat him. that's what pissed me off about the swagger push he even had reason to beat rusev after zev.
Mr. Nerfect
02-26-2015, 07:11 PM
The logical booking for Swagger would have been for him to demand another shot at Rusev at the Royal Rumble after his TLC loss. Rusev and Lana could have made Swagger put his career on the line. Have Hulk Hogan appear in Swagger's corner. Swagger wins the US Title and gets a huge moment.
Rusev could rebound in an angry way, and still confront Cena after the Triple Threat WWE Title match. Rusev could still beat Cena at Fastlane. He doesn't need to be dead in the water because of a loss to Swagger.
Mr. Nerfect
02-26-2015, 07:12 PM
I wouldn't have The Rock beat Rusev, although I don't think it would kill Rusev either. The Rock would have to drop the US Title to someone anyway. That'd make someone.
