DISCUSSION - The WWE are booking Daniel Bryan perfectly (RR spoilers)

I wasn't talking about the crowds reaction, I was talking about the internet having a breakdown over it. And the crowd reaction at Mania was a pretty significant pop for Sheamus winning (job done WWE) and that legit manic reaction for Bryan lasted for one night (the post-Mania RAW) the internet/smart crowd were always behind him and the volume went up and down depending how "smart" the crowd was in a specific town. Team Hell No showed he had a personality and was somebody to be gotten behind/when everybody else started to cotton on. And even if that 18 second match did kickstart his rise then surely that further proves that once again it was nothing to bitch about, which is what I've said from the moment the match happened.
