| d21lewis said: The World Championship was always a second class title when the WWE got it from ECW. Everybody knows the WWE Title was the real one. They put it on Bryan at Summerslam but, per some report, ratings went down after Cena was gone for rehab. They quickly took the belt away from DB. When Cena returned, ratings went back up. Bryan, as much as I love him (In the pro wrestling thread, I said he was my Wrestler of the Year maybe two years ago!) he's gonna be a hard sell. He's like Bret Hart in the 90's. Spectacular but not mainstream. The WWE likes mainstream and they like ratings. |
I think they will try to push Bryan as main face more times. That PPVs buy rate wasn't great, but there were a lot of other factors to that. Bryan's booking was being terrible as usual and he wasn't being booked as a menace to Orton or Cena. He was booked as the joke with a goat beard that simply got lucky to get a world title. They need to do a proper booking for him and put him in the title scene. Just that way he will have his real trial.
