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.?
And you think people won't tire of Romans get beat a little then Superman punch and spear and then cut a really bland promo routine the fact that I can see it this early is telling. Bryan's "Yes" may get old his fight against the Authority cannot last but he has a certain charisma its not like the Rock its its own thing and more low key(except for his intense moments) but having said all that its Bryan's in ring-ability combined with those other factors that gets him over every time. It really is saying something in the world of sports entertainment that a crowd gets behind a guy because he can wrestle. When Bryan steps in the ring I know I'm in for a treat bell to bell and that's exciting to me. Not only that but because its the WWE there's certain popular moves a wrestler will hit with DB you know if he had to reach into his wrestling well he would he can always change it up (see vs CM Punk) Roman is a pretty face a few flashy but monotonous moves and the charisma and mic skills of a parking barrier (some of that may be Vince's meddling but the guy wasn't a strong promo to start with) And you'd rather see him vs Brock as opposed to the complete epic Brock could have with Bryan? You'd go with the guy who may or may not deliver as opposed the guy you know its gonna be awesome?
