I know the IWC marks will hate on me too, but I agree about Bryan not being over at all. With that said, I don't really believe it's his fault.
Perhaps it could even be punishment for his prior transgressions that led him to being cut, but has he been in ANY feud since he's been back? Even when he won the belt from the Miz, it was only done to elevate the Miz to a main event scene.
How can someone get over when he's only on two times a month and is being used more as C- graded comic relief with the Bellas half the time? The guy is being booked as a complete dork.
Why did Chris Benoit get over? Because he had the "take no prisoner, I don't need to be using catch phrases to get over" personality and WCW and WWE let him run with it. Eventually, he was so "anti-Rock" that he got over. They hardly ever booked him to be a geek needing to put two ladies on him in some lame attempt to get him over.
Continuing with the Benoit reference, how much good would it do for BOTH men if Morrison and Bryan had a Best of Seven type series for the US Title ala Benoit and Booker T which did a lot to elevate BOTH of them?
It's a problem the WWE has with Bryan and the Raw scene as well. You have all these great main event heels but they have next to none to be involved in mid-card feuds.
Bryan CAN get over, but they need to put him in a week in, week out feud(s). Have David Otunga get a minor push even against Bryan. Have Ted Dibiase be made to actually be credible. Turn Mark Henry heel against him. Do SOMETHING.
Personally, I'd LOVE to see the Best of Seven face vs face idea with Morrison. I truly believe it would do both of them good to fight each other on six straight Raws being given 5-15 minutes each time and have their deciding match be a ladder match at Wrestlemania.
