Indeed it was. I can't imagine or take this CyNick guy seriously when he keeps saying he's "looks at the facts" but has avoided addressing that video.

Didn't Batista's relationship with the WWE legitimately sour over the Daniel Bryan creative direction that was apparently "planned"?

Listen, I'mnot doubting that Batista v Orton could have been one of the many options that was considered for Mania.

The rumour as I recall it was I believe Bryan was going to face Sheamus, HHH was to face Punk (who was teaming with Bryan prior to Punk leaving), and Orton vs Batista.

I believe Bryan is not the ideal guy that Vince would want to be champion, but neither was Chris Benoit or Eddie Guerrero and I seem to recall being at MSG seeing those guys each win half a world title. So every now and then, Vince goes all the way with a guy who doesnt fit his mold. I think its likely the whole Punk-HHH match was going to serve the same purpose that Bryan-HHH did at Mania. To get Bryan into the match. The rumoured Sheamus-Bryan match was just for The Authority to further screw Bryan (even if HHH somehow were to lose to Punk, here's this guy who beat you in 10 seconds who will lay a beating on you). Maybe Batista was never told about that plan. Maybe they knew Batista would be less than thrilled. I keep coming back to, why cocktease with Bryan, if you have no intention of paying it off either at Mania or shortly thereafter.

Because bad writers write things really badly.

Or there's a big conspiracy by Bryan and others to make the fans think the writers are bad. Because that's the preferable option to "giving away company secrets".

Call me crazy... The former seems more logical. I DUNNO.

OR

Vince booked a babyface to get screwed, and then close to Mania set something in motion that gets said babyface in a position to buck the odds and come out shining like a rose.

But nahhh

Can you please explain why Daniel Bryan lied when he said he wasn't supposed to be in the main event? You keep avoiding that point and it's rather hilarious. If it was supposedly part of the plan why is the main cog involved saying otherwise?

Kayfabe? Lol you mean kayfabe that is regularly broken to the point that it's welcome? Lol what a joke. Kayfabe? Yeah. I'm sure that's what it is. Even though telling people "they planned me to go against Sheamus", revealing a behind the scenes convo, breaks kayfabe. Lmao. You're incredible.

not kayfabe like "I'm pretending like its not a work". Kayfabe like we have a story we want the masses to believe (the YES Movement was this thing created by the fans to get Bryan something that wasnt panned).

When you call "conspiracy" you've made it so where even the guy you're talking about saying your wrong isn't sufficient evidence. So there's really no reason to even try at this point.

... and then Bryan and others went out of their way to make the fans think the writers are bad as to not "give away company secrets. That falls under that second option I listed. Jesus Christ, dude...

Just looked at the Raw thread. I'm now convinced this is either a gimmick or CyNick is on the WWE payroll.

I think I made three comments in there. One was a terrible joke. The others were just random musings.

Gimmick would be "Hey guys, that was the greatest RAW in the history of the show. Use the hashtag BESTRARWEVER to discuss on social media".

I disagree. I can't find one thing wrong that he's said in this thread.


Granted - I think CyNick should atleast admit that the current WWE product can be improved, but aside from that, everything else he's said in this thread is 100% true.


I hate getting involved in something that I was never really a part of, but this thread has legitimately shocked me. I don't think CyNick has come across as arrogant or whatever at all. Really mind boggling stuff to me. Or are people in this thread just upset that CyNick flat out destroyed people's counter-arguments in this thread?


Weird weird stuff.

Thanks dude. You're a good man.

In all honesty there are plenty of things I see on WWE TV that are not what I would book or want to see. There are times guys are pushed that I dont agree with. However I just look at the show as a whole, and this is just my opinion here, but I found WWE to be much more enjoyable when I stopped reading dirt sheets. And I firmly believe if you dont like something, you should stop watching. That sends a bigger message. But for some reason people prefer to complain than just sit back and enjoy WWE for what it is.

I don't think he's arrogant at all to be honest, I quite like the guy. I still think he's full of shit though.

The product is lacking and has been for a long time. His excuses are generally centred around a different demographic than us liking it, but I countered with the fact that good t.v. is good t.v., demographics be damned. Most of his arguments against myself are about the fact that I'm some internet fan, and don't really address the actual points I make.

Believe it or not, I don't really rate Dave Meltzer that highly on his opinions, I think him to be a bit of a blow hard, but I know sht when I see it on my t.v.

Heyman's stance on CyNick makes no sense when you read his current discussion thread and how CyNick thinks Rollin losing because he's a heel is good, the current roster's lack of stars is because of the performers not stepping up, and the wwe in general being booked just fine.

Yup. Read everything Heyman said in this thread in the same tone as "Facetious Noid" posts, as I'd just read his thread blaming WWE for their own ills.

Booking is never perfect. I do however think WWE is far and away the best at it, so when they make a collective decision on a talent, I trust their judgment. But when I say something like that, it gets twisted into "WWE is perfect".

But I do honestly believe the talent is vastly inferior today than anytime in the history of sports entertainment. I dont know if its a by product of no competition, the whole thing about the millennium generation being uninspired to reach for success, or a combination of a bunch of things.

Heyman mostly likes when someone "goes against the grain" and garners some kind of a reaction. I think there's some good to it, but when the conversations generally go no where it kind of gets silly.

The most perplexing thing to me in this thread, is CyNick's stance on Daniel Bryan (the correct one I might add), vs. Everyone else's opinions.


At Summerslam 2013, Daniel Bryan didn't just beat John Cena.........he went over the guy cleanly. Period. Then, AFTER all that, we saw the Triple H/Randy Orton screw job on Bryan, along with the birth of The Authority.


How do you guys NOT see that event as the start of a long term angle? (with the obvious intention of Daniel Bryan ultimately going over?!?). Like holy fuck.


Don't get me wrong - I have a lot of respect for many of the posters in this thread (Dale Newstead, Noid, Damien Rey, etc., etc.), but lets face it. You guys flat out tasted CyNick's penis in this thread, and especially this argument.


If the WWE really had zero intention of pushing Daniel Bryan in a massive way, they would NOT have had him go over John Cena cleanly.


If we're operating under the assumption that, "Controversy sells," then do you NOT think that Dave Batista winning the Royal Rumble was one of the most ingenious things that the WWE has ever done? (knowing full well that backlash that would occur amongst both marks AND the IWC).


C'mon people.

There were times I thought I was the only one who saw things like that.

The problem is Dave Meltzer wrote 15,000 words about how "sources say Daniel was never supposed to go over, it heh heh, just sorta happened. And heh heh, ya know, plans change"

So why would Daniel Bryan say otherwise in interviews both within and outside the company? CyNick's lame excuse was Bryan was protecting kayfabe, even though speaking about behind the scenes conversations breaks kayfabe.

So what reason does Daniel Bryan have to lie about the original pitch he received pertaining to his mania spot?

Honestly, I have no idea. I have no idea if he was protecting kayfabe, or if Daniel Bryan did in fact, feel that way.


What I do know is this: If the WWE actually felt that Bryan was a "B+" player and had no business being anywhere near a main-event, they wouldn't have had him go C-L-E-A-N-L-Y over Cena at Summerslam 2013. Period. There's just no way beating around that bush.


If the WWE really felt that Daniel Bryan was a mid-card performer, and had no intentions of pushing him long term, my best guess is that they would've had Bryan go over Cena in a completely flukey way (i.e. Orton interference?), and then have heel Orton cleanly defeat Daniel Bryan to win the title a month later.

Kevin Owens went over John Cena clean and now he's in a middling feud with Ryback after jobbing back cleanly to Cena twice. Bryan certain "got the rub" but it wasn't the kind of positioning fans wanted. They wanted him to be "THE GUY" not some other 50/50 booked guy.

Plus this argument means fuck all anyways.... it's CyNick doing his best ONCE MORE to distract from the actual point. Say they got the Bryan thing right, and it was in the cards all along, that would honest to god be one thing I can think of they got right. They also had Bret Hart win wrestlemania 10 after calling an audible on that, and they proceeded to bungle up his title reign by treating him like a mid carder. Yes, WWE has the capability to do 1 out of every thousand things right, even if they do it in an absolutely horrendous way, and SOME HOW eventually get there. But the other 999 are done pretty badly and it leads to cheap, shoddily done t.v.

In saying that, there's a reason they're the only game in town. They've obviously done a lot of things right along the way, and in certain eras were able to ignite something meaningful. But between those eras and ever since, it's all (minus some shining light) pretty meandering crap. And unfortunately as older wrestling fans, all we have is shitty ring of honor to watch, or we have to watch Japanese wrestling (which I'm not all that into).

Heyman, I believe you'd be able to understand this analogy better than anyone. WWE is like the Toronto Maple Leafs. They are able to put forth an absolutely horrendous product, and not adapt to the current landscape of quality, and still turn a profit. So nothing really changes. And even when it SEEMS thing change, it's only slightly around the corner that the same mistakes will be made, because they don't need to be all that great to turn a profit and to keep making money.

I agree with what you're saying Dale, but you guys are also making it sound like it's CyNick's stance that the WWE can't be improved in any shape or form, and that everything they are doing right now is perfect.


I think CyNick is just saying that most fans are actually happy with the current product and that our opinion (IWC) is clearly in the minority. You can't use ratings as a 1:1 indicator since the product is consumed a lot differently in 2015 than say 1999-2005.


Having said all that, I do think the WWE needs to find a way to protect their emerging mid-card talents. Guys like Bray Wyatt, Rusev, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, etc., aren't being maximized in my opinion.

Except straight from the horse's mouth, he said it wasn't the case. I get it'd be nice to think WWE was able to predict the ridiculous fan backlash to Batista winning the Rumble despite being booked as a face for a month, and that the original plan all along was to push Bryan into the main event.

However, when the subject of the conversation itself states bluntly he wasn't going to main event, there's no argument to be had otherwise. You can assume, or speculate that he'd make the company look like idiots by lying that he wasn't planned to main event, but that's all it is.

Bryan himself said it wasn't the plan. What's there to argue after that?

The main reason Bryan beat Cena cleanly was more due to Cena needing time off and WWE needing a top face to quickly take Cena's spot. Only reason Cena never got his chance to get a win back was because by the time the situation would be ripe for it, Bryan was getting derailed with injuries.

Once Cena came back, Bryan was quickly put to the side and relegated to semi-minor status in the Authority feud. Crowd began to rebell once they saw the WWE didn't really cared for Bryan and wanted the focus on Cena vs Orton/Authority only. Got worse with the rebelling once it became obvious the WWE wanted Batista to get the big win over the Authority and not Bryan at Mania.

Source?!?! How do you know that this was the case?


Surely - if Cena needed some time off, there were other faces ahead of Bryan on the depth chart. Orton was still a face before the screw job, and CM Punk was a face if I recall correctly. So - why have Bryan go over Cena?


Even if alllllll of what you said is true (which likely isn't), you have to take into account what Anybody Thrilla said:


(i.e. If the WWE realized they fucked up, they made up for it by calling an audible and having Bryan go over at Mania......and so even then, they made things right).

His elbow basically had a baseball-like swell going on at the time. Prior to the match, WWE was pulling him from house shows just so that it wouldn't get worse and let the Summerslam match be possible.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...e-that-thought

CM Punk had just recently turned face and was busy with the Lesnar feud at the time while Orton likely was turning regardless of Cena's health status. Bryan winning the belt just made it a lot more convenient for the turn to happen with the cash-in right there.

The only real wildcard was how long Cena would be out since he has freakishly fast recovery and him wanting to be back as soon as possible. Think the WWE or Cena released videos of him training almost right after getting surgery. Once he actually came back, quickly replace Bryan as the focus of Authority and WWE title feuds.

They could have easily just had Bryan lose or have a no contest and then have Orton come in to cash in MITB. The fact that they constantly screwed Bryan was part of the larger angle IMO.

Bryan beating Cena could be seen as many things. A trial, a grace, a good booking decision, an attempt at an immediate ratings spike, Cena needing time off. Granted, I've had the same conspiracy theory in my head before. Maybe, just maybe the WWE worked out that bad booking is the good booking. Maybe that's why they had Sheamus beat him in 18 seconds at WrestleMania 28? Brilliant. Maybe that's why they delayed his eventual rise by two years, despite knowing that his health couldn't have been great going into WrestleMania 31 when the best choice was to have him return and win the Rumble, so they didn't, but still put him in the match and had him drop out like an afterthought.

I'm running my sentences together here, but come on, guys. I love Heyman and do have some love for CyNick the human and the old poster, but the idea that it was a masterplan all along is pretty bullshit. Right down to them booking Orton vs. Bryan together until it couldn't probably ever do business again.

The only other time I had that same conspiracy "bad booking is the good booking" idea is when I saw The New Day start to gain traction as a heel group. No wonder Vince debuted them as bland babyfaces that could never win a match! It was the Rocky Maivia/Rock plan all along! Brilliant.

Then The New Day came out and said Vince legit thought that they would be over as faces. And there are countless other documented examples where Vince has been out of touch with reality. It's not moronic to assume that the WWE fucked up. Especially when you can see how the aftermath of it all affected the WWE's relationships with other performers, such as Batista and CM Punk (regardless of what their own egos had to do with things).

They legitimately sidetracked Bryan from the main feud which they were already dragging out. By the same token, if this were a master plan, the same thing would have been achieved by Dean Ambrose last year when he got pulled out of his feud with Seth Rollins to go against Bray Wyatt. He wasn't going to go away. But Bryan was just un-fuckable at that point.

CyNick's arguments revolve almost entirely around "Look at what happened when the WWE was critically successful! It was criticially successful, right? It must have been planned!" He beat Cena? That was huge. And it was an angle to build to something. No one is saying it wasn't. It's just that no one else is naive enough to give the WWE credit for giving someone a credible reverse push when they can't even push guys successfully.

And what good will it builds for the company to allow the credit of their product to be attributed to a conspiracy theory. It's not like NASA did a real moon landing to stage a fake.

I love Heyman and do have some love for CyNick the human and the old poster, but the idea that it was a masterplan all along is pretty bullshit. Right down to them booking Orton vs. Bryan together until it couldn't probably ever do business again.

The only other time I had that same conspiracy "bad booking is the good booking" idea is when I saw The New Day start to gain traction as a heel group. No wonder Vince debuted them as bland babyfaces that could never win a match! It was the Rocky Maivia/Rock plan all along! Brilliant.

Then The New Day came out and said Vince legit thought that they would be over as faces. And there are countless other documented examples where Vince has been out of touch with reality. It's not moronic to assume that the WWE fucked up. Especially when you can see how the aftermath of it all affected the WWE's relationships with other performers, such as Batista and CM Punk (regardless of what their own egos had to do with things).

They legitimately sidetracked Bryan from the main feud which they were already dragging out. By the same token, if this were a master plan, the same thing would have been achieved by Dean Ambrose last year when he got pulled out of his feud with Seth Rollins to go against Bray Wyatt. He wasn't going to go away. But Bryan was just un-fuckable at that point.

CyNick's arguments revolve almost entirely around "Look at what happened when the WWE was critically successful! It was criticially successful, right? It must have been planned!" He beat Cena? That was huge. And it was an angle to build to something. No one is saying it wasn't. It's just that no one else is naive enough to give the WWE credit for giving someone a credible reverse push when they can't even push guys successfully.

And what good will it builds for the company to allow the credit of their product to be attributed to a conspiracy theory. It's not like NASA did a real moon landing to stage a fake.
My reasoning for the Bryan thing being planned is A) he beat Cena clean and B) The Authority screwed him left and right for MONTHS

If you dont want Bryan is the main event picture, you have him look good against Cena, but ultimately lose. Orton then cashes in MITB. Then and this is key, you would use Bryan to heat up Orton and put him over clean until Cena is back and can chase Orton.

After Bryan lost to Orton in HIAC he lost cleanly to Orton once more on Raw (or maybe smackdown) before getting deep into his feud with Wyatt

I dont recall the result of every single match, I just know more often than not, Bryan was the one winning matches, and when he did lose, he was MASSIVELY protected. Thats not how WWE books when they want to push someone out of the main event.

But whatever, yo're not going to change your mind despite a mountain of evidence. Its cool.
