It's all cute and all but ... thank you WWE? For what? How about you thank the people who raised a fuss? Thank you WWE - my ass.
Thank them for what exactly? For being pressured by their fanbase to follow what THEY care about? For having fans tirelessly cheer for a guy despite WWE trying to bury him in many ways and kill off his momentum?
WWE didn't do this out of mercy, they did it out of fear. You shouldn't be thanking them, you should be blaming them for even having to get to the point where fans have to bitch to get what they want. It's not even a big thing people want, just push the little guy with the beard. That's all.
Fuck the WWE for forcing people to get to this stage. I'm not giving them any credit for anything. The rise of Daniel Bryan wasn't their idea, it was ours. We wanted him, they didn't. We thought he was good, they didn't.
WWE didn't do us a favor by doing this. They did what they should do - follow our fandom to a certain extent and give us what we want in cases when we DEFINITELY want it.
Hope they do the right thing, give the guy the belt and get it over with. Thanking them? Nope. Thank the fans, not the corporate schmucks.
When BioWare massacred the Mass Effect 3 game's ending and later on added a DLC with a tweaked one to fit our desires, did anyone thank them? Hell no. We were semi-satisfied, but we still new they fucked up big time. That's why they had to cover their asses. It's the same situation with the WWE. And no, it wasn't the plan all along. WWE hasn't been this clever since the 90's, there's no reason to think they are now. They're not.
They fucked up. People made it clear they want Bryan. They're doing damage control right now. They're still to blame, no credit given. Just another example of fans showing their influence. Sure, WWE could've said no and it's likely nothing would've happened, but they said yes (no pun intended) and they cracked. Fans 1, WWE 0.
Just sucks that we basically have to riot to get good wrestling nowadays. That's WWE for ya.
This is pure BS...Did you hear Stephanie's promo a couple of weeks ago? because she was 100% correct. DB is a wwe creation. They allow him to chant YES, they allow him to wrestle, they allow him tv time. DB won MITB without the help of the fans, he won the world title without the help of he fans, he beat Cena at Summerslam without the help of the fans, and he was headed to a match at WM with HHH regardless of this so called fan help.
This yes movement crap didnt even start until DB was booked as an underdog chasing the title, which means the fan reaction was a product of a wwe storyline. The wwe made the fans react this way. The WWE could have easily had Punk vs Cena at summerslam and this whole thing would have never happened. Making DB a star was OBVIOUSLY the point of this storyline but some fans are delusional and think that the wwe purposely sabotages their own wrestlers lmao.
WWE 1, Fans-did what they were supposed to do
