My thoughts on Daniel Bryan after Hell In a Cell that isn't a spoiler now.

Also, I'd say Orton and Cena were both kinda groomed to be the next big thing. I don't think either was simply an "experiment" or "pushed out of necessity". Everyone was picking Cena and Orton as being the stars of the future pretty early on and both had their journey. Neither was hotshotted out of nowhere.

Other than that, I'd agree with pretty much everything else. As for chasing the next giant, they've even kinda failed at that. Ryback had the crowd on his side AND was everything Vince usually looks for... and they dropped the ball in epic fashion.

The idea that wins/losses don't matter in wrestling is ridiculous. And yes, having your champion lose on a regular basis is also ridiculous. Just scraping the barrel of the glaring flaws in WWE booking logic that holds them back from getting people over. Plus the fact that the ENTIRE card outside of the main event is basically treated like meaningless filler for the 2 1/3 hours of the show that isn't devoted to the main event. Those guys are supposed to be your future. And you're gonna spend years and years not doing anything remotely interesting with them and suddenly when you realize you're in desperate need of a main eventer, you're gonna try to cancel out all those years of nothingness and make people think they matter in an instant. It's horrific booking.
