Fortunately for Bryan, though -- losing the World Title has turned him into about as big a sensation as anything in the WWE right now. And we're at a point where The Rock and Brock Lesnar appearances are overlapping. It sucks that heel Bryan got his heat taken away by such a silly thing, but it's gotten him white-hot reactions as a potentially marketable underdog babyface for the company (like he was last year, until they losing streak'd him). Truth be told, Bryan is in the same spot as he was last year when he won Money in the Bank, but only this time with a quirky personality. That's if the WWE allows it, of course, and doesn't Christian 2005 the guy (which I don't think they will, as they seem to like Bryan).
The WWE should really jump on this "YES!" thing and put out merchandise.

lol how was he too good. Ratings for Smackdown dropped consistantly with Bryan as champ, and the WWE had to resort to having him get cheap heel heat by being mean to a chick just to get him over. He was the same horrific vanilla midget who was buried in the bush leagues.
