There are others on the roster too who are "hot" right now. Reigns may not be getting as huge a pop in recent weeks but he was voted superstar of the year for 2014 by WWE fans so clearly he is a big deal. Rollins and Ambrose much as I don't rate them as highly also seem to garner a decent enough reaction and of course Bray Wyatt, Ziggler's rep has gone up post-Survivor Series, Rusev is seemingly becoming a popular heel.

A lot of the fans merely like what is shoved in their faces and if they were placing Reigns in main events and prime feuds rather than Big Show who's a cheesesteak away from a heart attack, maybe they'd be cheering for him instead of whole "yes yes yes" rubbish.

No they shouldn't keep giving the belt to Cena either but the WWE is more than just Cena and simply putting Bryan on that pedestal because of a brief popularity fad is ridiculous.

You go on about Hulkamania. Hulk Hogan transcended the business, people who otherwise knew nothing about wrestling would know who Hulk Hogan was and he brought in new fans and still to this day generates a favorable reaction whenever he comes out to do his promos.

Bryan may be hot now because people are warming to his weedy, loser image battling against the Authority and to some extent it works well. But then what happens when the Authority comes to complete conclusion which it will sooner rather than later?

What is going to keep him relevant i.e. main-event draw, prime billing etc.?
