Do you think Daniel Bryan will ever main event a WrestleMania?
 

Straight and to the point, do you think Daniel Bryan will main event WrestleMania?

Also, discuss how he has been used in WWE thus far and if you think he's on the right track to bigger and better things or not.

no

I dont think so, i hope he does, but i can see him as a world champ after a MITB win though.

I don't see Daniel Bryan ever being in the main event period. It just seems to me that he is doomed to the mid card.

it's way too early to tell. if he ever does it will be with a completely different gimmick than he has now

I can see it in my mind and I know how I would do it but the WWE won't allow it.

He would be a fantastic heel champion though, could see him mentally 'snapping' and going on a rampage of high profile tapouts. Can just imagine a match being on and suddenly the titantron coming on and him having HHH/Orton/Cena/Edge/Show/Barrett/Sheamus tapping in the back for seemingly no reason. He's not a great stickman and this gimmick would mean less of him talking and more of him dominating.

Obviously he wouldn't make The Miz tap though.

His only line would be 'Why did I do this? Because I can! Will I do it again? Yes

Yes, and within the next 2 Wrestlemania's as well. Vince is no fool, he is recognizing to establish smaller guys and he definitely feels the audience response to all those great PPV starting matches Bryan has put up.

Hmmmmmmmmm. I could see it, Benoit did it after all.

But, honestly, I don't think he will Main Event WM but that's no bad thing. Only a select few get to headline the biggest show of the year after all.

Honestly, I can wee him doing it. If he stays with WWE he has a decent career ahead of him. It may take a few years but I don't think it's out of the question.

I think there's a chance he will, but it's small, and not for awhile.

I don't want to spout cliches but "anything can happen in the WWE". He's pretty popular and he certainly could talent wise but depends on so many factors it's impossible to predict.

I'm reluctant to make any solid wrestling predictions after my "Test will be world champ by 2005" prediction made in 1999...

I think it'd be fun to see, but it doesn't seem likely. Even with Benoit, it took him 4 years in the company and getting obscenely juiced up for Vince to finally put the belt on him.

He might have a World Heavyweight title or two in him, but if it does happen, I think it'll be as a heel and I think it'll be during those "not as important" summer months. It'd still be a fun run to watch, though.

As absolutely fantastic as Bryan is in the ring, I don't see him ever being WWE's flagship guy, face or heel. I think he's going to be one of those almost-but-not-quite guys for a very long time, maybe given a transitional World Title run here and there, and used as the guy to make other main-eventers look good by having great matches with them.

So no, I don't think we'll ever see him main event a Mania. I do, however, think he will regularly have the best match on the card several times over.

No chance. And there's nothing wrong with that. Where he is right now is great - a champion on television regularly and putting on stellar PPV matches.

I see him holding the title once or twice like punk

I could see him in a World title match at Wrestlemania, but it wouldn't be the headliner. They won't build the entire event around him. Kinda like Edge vs. Jericho was for the title this year, but HBK vs. Taker was the main match hyped for Wrestlemania.

There is THE main event, and then there are main events. Edge vs Jericho was a main event.

As they always say in the wrestling industry, and WWE more specifically.. "never say never" but I am pretty sure that Bryan will not headline a WrestleMania event, ever.

Vince wouldn't put the biggest event of the year on the shoulders of a Bryan because he can't market him to everyone. Only hardcore fans appreciate Daniel Bryan. Its partially a size thing (Jericho and others could do it because they had the "larger than life" image, and charisma to back it up), as well as he's pretty generic in general.

I'd love to see it, but I don't think it will happen.

I don't see it happening... Then again Rey has had the strap...

I wouldn't put any money on it.....

What? Of course not.

<font color=goldenrod>If you mean main event as in the final match of the show? No. Unless he happens to stick around for a decade and get a Benoit-esque push.

If you main main event as in title match earlier in the show, then sure. I could see him getting a WHW Title run on SmackDown in a couple years.</font>

Maybe for WM28, I'd love to see a world title triple threat match with Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and Kaval. For obvious reasons...

I will say that if they do unify the titles then I can not see this happening.

I'll put it like this:

In the late '80s/early '90s, would anyone have believed one half of a tag team would wind up as WWF champ, especially the small member of the team? Not only did a smaller tag team guy become WWF champ, it happened TWICE.

And BOTH have headlined Wrestlemania.

Main event? As in the last match? No.

Undercard 'main event' match at WM? Possibly.

If he doesn't it won't be for lack of ability. It depends on who sticks around over the next few years. I think it's likely that a younger guy with more of a "look" (like Alberto Del Rio or even McIntyre) will get there before him. But there's really no way to tell.

Uh no. Vanilla midget don't headline Wrestlemania.

What was the question again I got distracted by Daffney.

No. I really believe the only reason WWE re-hired him was because of the fans' outrage when he was fired, not because they suddenly felt he could be a star.

I'd say it depends on how long WWE and Vince continue pushing smaller or less roided up wrestlers by the time Daniel Bryan can reach the main event scene. So far it has benefited a lot of "smaller" wrestlers but at the same time, it might be just a phase to get the negative attention away from the WWE, roids, and early wrestler deaths.

Seeing as now Wrestlemania now has about 3 "main events" per show, its possible and probably will occur especially since Smackdown tends to push and develop more main event stars than Raw since the split occurred.

I hope he does but I don't think he will. He just doesn't have anything close to a WWE look. It's not just his height but he doesn't have much a body anyway like Benoit did. And Rey Mysterio has such a unique style that Bryan doesn't really have.

Nope.

Headline? I hope so but I doubt it. Be a significant part of it and put on a hell of a show? Yes.

Depends on whether he shows some charisma.

You either have it or you don't. You can perfect your charisma, you can develop it more, you can tweek it out so it "clicks" with the fans, but bottom line is, it's gotta be there in the first place, you've gotta have it. He doesn't.

:y:

It's a shame so many people will ruin what they've got by wishing for more.

Not a shot at the general idea of him in the ME, only a commentary on the way a bunch of people tend to view the worth of wrestlers as measured by WWE.

Yes he does.

No, tbh he'll be lucky to be involved at all.
