It's never Vince McMahon's fault is it? To be honest, I was happy to see this reaction. Coming to Seattle for Monday Night Raw, Daniel Bryan should have been prominent. It makes sense for him to be. He's been in a top storyline since WrestleMania 29.
How Vince didn't see this coming is anybody's guess. Not only has he become bitter in his old age, he's become senseless and stupid. He's been the man since before 1985, yet still doesn't understand that the hometown hero will get the big pop. Okay.
Damn it sounds like we're hating on Vince here, but seriously, he's an idiot for not seeing it. It's like going back to Money in the Bank 2011, was Chicago really going to boo CM Punk. Not a chance in hell.
This is pretty stupid in the long run though. John Cena gets big reactions, CM Punk gets big reactions, Randy Orton gets big reactions, but that's it. WWE needs big stars, and Daniel Bryan is matching and occasionally surpassing these guys. It's the same story with guys like Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston, they got a chance, and when they had it, they ran with it, yet still got nowhere. The simple answer is WWE doesn't like what the fans like. It's one of those relationships.
On a somewhat related note, I've come to realize that Vince seems to hate a lot of guys on his roster for being successful. But you sign them, don't you Vince? You're the one giving them the green light. If he's going to be angry at anyone for the way Seattle exploded for Bryan, it should be himself for allowing him to get big.
