Remember Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan at the 2014 Royal Rumble?
 

Feel like both guys left that match in an amazing position. It was kind of a perfect match. Now I never made a secret that Daniel Bryan, as much as I enjoy him, is not a headliner... but the story was told perfectly. He was the underdog who only the authority could hold back. But now here's Bray Wyatt. Scary as shit and backs up his words. He stops Daniel Bryan in his tracks at his highest point all on his own. Bryan is still over and Bray Wyatt can kill your heroes all by himself because he's a monster who is not to be fucked with.

Now they're both "meh". Maybe there's an excuse for Bryan (though he would have just taken Cena's spot at SummerSlam and been used to make Lesnar look like more of a badass... just so he could lose the title to no one.)

I guess what I'm saying is... WHAT THE FUCK, WWE!?!

Whilst I agree with your statement, you could pretty much swap "Daniel Bryan" or "Bray Wyatt" for pretty much 95% of the current roster.

I've got a smudge on my computer so please tell me if that says Macho Man or Nacho Man. If Nacho Man RIP. Hope heaven is good to you as well as the Huckster and Billionaire Ted.

Yeah, I just remember watching that match and thinking "Holy fuck, they are getting shit SO right..." And then it all went to shit.

RIP Nacho Man. Headlined the first WrestleMania pre-show of all time.

Seth is a wrestling historian. He can confirm that for me.

Also, RIP Scheme Gene.

I know, so sad. Great wrestler, even better person...I'm sorry you had to find out via this thread.

I haven't watched in months

That match was fucking titties. Sooooo good. I might go watch it right now.

Shame how the mighty have fallen.

Should have held off until after Mania as Bryan's first title feud instead of going with Kane.

Was a mistake to do the Bray-Bryan feud that early just because Vince/WWE stubbornly wanted to keep Bryan away from the title match feud. Also wouldn't have to deal with that feud being suddenly dropped for no reason because Vince/WWE finally realized how well Mania could improve with Bryan in the title match.

Bray's Mania recovery would have happened a lot sooner than it did months later with the Ambrose feud.

Now Bray feuds with THE Ryback and it feels like the biggest demotion since Lance Storm became a janitor after the Invasion story died.

I really can't believe how much WWE has strived to make me not give a shit about Bray Wyatt. Like, against all odds they have made me completely indifferent to everything he's involved in.
