You hate Daniel Bryan and I get it. I have nothing against you. You have every right to criticize the guy you hate. And you are well within your rights to voice your opinion. I am fine with you not finding Daniel Bryan fit your definition of entertainment.
I just don't get one thing though. Why you hate Daniel Bryan's popularity so much? Why you go out of your way to put down any DB fan? You like your Ortons, Batistas, HHHs, Rockys, Sone Colds and I get it. You know what, I like them too. Hell, if anyone has helped DB reach where he's gotten, it's HHH. But is it crime to be entertained by Daniel Bryan? I find him as entertaining, if not more, as HHH or Rock or Stone Cold. Does it mean I am comparing Bryan with them? I am not. He's his own person and despite his detractors, he reached where he belongs.
Daniel Bryan certainly has become the monster. The 'never say die' attitude fits him more than anyone else on the roster. The whole authority story was what Bryan isn't. It just fueled his popularity. Bryan was on fire and authority poured gasoline on it.
You know what proves Bryan is supremely talented? He turned crappy angles into entertaining ones. After losing WHC and to Punk, they paired him with Kane in that comic 'Team Hell no.' I bet any other superstar would've fizzled out. Not Bryan. In fact, he got even more over.
When people cheer for him, they cheer for the performer Bryan, not just an everyman joe that he is. Why do you hate the people for being entertained by the phenomenon Bryan has become?
I've been a wrestling fan for a long time. You're right I've a right to be opinionated and passionate about the one thing I love in Sports, which is pro wrestling and I won't ever trade it with football, basketball, or UFC. But wrestling isn't just 2 athletic guys go at it. Many a times, the wrong guys will be in the spotlight and as wrestling fans, the only choice you have is to endure, or stop watching. And so was it in 2005 with John Cena. I've never liked that guy, except for a moment or two when some better wrestler in some way resulted into me finding a John Cena match watchable. Example would be the MITB 2011 match between him and Punk, Summerslam 2008 match with Batista.
With John Cena , I've never liked the way he talks, his wannabe thug/rapper schtick, and the never-say-die and endless WWE title reign from 2006-2007. He's one of the worst wrestlers to have also been one of the most popular, and I don't say this because I want to seem like a very smart IWC member but because I've watched Rock as champion ,Austin, HHH , but I've never found a main-event mainstay so unendurable as John Cena.
Coming to Daniel Bryan, I like the guy from his ROH match i saw, as a no-nonsense technical wrestler. But I find him intolerable in his recent character change with the YES-chant and stuff. I'm not saying the wrestling world should only create characters/gimmicks that I find palatable. I'm just saying I find him ordinary, repetitive and boring and it's conspicuously because his whole thing has revolved around "being screwed", "the authority is pulling me down", "Yes-movement", etc. Well, Vince Mcmahon tried to keep Austin down, but in Austin's case, he was entertaining, he was doubtlessly the rattlesnake and he had it all. Same with CM Punk. I'm not saying CM Punk is so different from Daniel Bryan because he's so charismatic or muscular, but because he's CM Punk. I believe in him . I've liked him from day 1, throughout his face and heel runs, his promos, and everything. Is CM Punk the greatest wrestler in the world? He doesn't come close to being as good as Bret Hart or Kurt Angle. But he's good. Is CM Punk overall a very entertaining performer? Yes, he was, according to me.
I want to like Daniel Bryan, but the way they've overpushed him since Summerslam, because of some chant ,and because he's "over", his beard, his hair, everything has caused nothing but sourness, indifference or fervent dislike in me. I want to overlook his character, the idiotic chants and all and just watch the Wrestlemania XXX match with HHH, just the wrestling, no drama and story, which I soon shall. I might end up liking him for his wrestling skills instead of adding to my misery how I loathe Daniel Bryan- the character/gimmick/chants/storyline. To end on a positive note, I loved the Throwback Thursday match between Cesaro and Daniel Bryan, btw. It was a wrestlemania-calibre match, something we rarely see, even on Wrestlemania.
