I think the two are more similar than they are different.
Danielson: took what he does best (in-ring work) and with a lack of TV exposure he travelled the world and made a name for himself, largely on the internet. This then bagged him a role in the "Big League".
Ryder: took what he does best (charisma) and with a lack of TV exposure (he's featured on a show that isn't even on TV in the US) and made a name for himself on the internet.
I'd get the issue if the hype was
all internet based but it's not, it's in the arenas every week. Plain as day for the execs to see. In fact, moreso that DB who is getting a push of sorts.
I don't get the logic from a business standpoint. In a company where people are regularly "let go" because "creative having nothing for them" (which may just be an excuse) here we have a guy that has gone out and created his own fan base. In a company where I pay people to come up with storylines to get guys over, where I feel compelled to give them winning streaks or book them favourably to do so (see Cara, Cena) here I have a guy who for the most part has done the job himself, inspite of the booking.
I am an Assistant Night Manager in a supermarket (glamourous I know) and if my staff had as much "get up and go" or showed the initiative that a guy like Ryder has I would be laughing. Instead I have to treat half the staff like children and explain to them in great detail what I need them to do (and most of the time they still don't get the required level work completed).
It just seems that Vince has some really retarded logic. Spend time building a guy up on TV in the hope that he gets over with the crowd versus pushing a guy that is already popular from his own doing. I know what I would choose and it'd be the guy that makes my job easier.
