Also, probably worth mentioning that if all the IWC fanboys had put their hands in their pockets and PAID for any of the PPVs during Bryan's run instead of continuing to stream, maybe Vince would have a little more faith in him.

Unfortunately massive crowd reactions don't put any money in the WWE's bank account.

I purchase every PPV, except the ones I watch at Tb1's place.

Assuming Meltzer from the Observer is correct, Bryan was in a lose-lose situation regardless what happened since its very likely the WWE uses confirmation bias for those types of decisions.

Had the buys been up, more likely Randy would have been given more credit either because he was the champion and/or because the WWE views him as more important. Since they weren't, Bryan took the full blame while the horrible booking and Randy didn't.

Bryan's case is almost the same as Punk in the sense it took the WWE a long time to finally realize how popular he was and only did it because Punk managed one of the best ever years for merchandise sales for a wrestler.

Yes but nobody is comparing them to Rumble figures. The numbers were down like for like on the previous year. Don't get me wrong, it pains me to be "that guy" quoting ratings/buyrates but you can see why WWE would be hesitant from a business perspective to go all in on Bryan.

To be fair, the writing was especially subpar during that time period.
