Will NO! NO! NO!..... Take Bryan to an even bigger level?

[pepentorresHHH]

I was watching Smackdown and when I watched this I lost it...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbM0A4FvAXU

In case you didnt clicked it, it was after daniel bryan won his match he went to the ringside area and started a battle with a fan who kept yelling yes and bryan kept yelling no...IT WAS THE FUNNIEST AND BEST PART OF THE SHOW IMO...

We all know how Daniel Bryan´s popularity skyrocketted after he came up with the yes thing earlier this year and that really took off and brought him to new heights, but now he has "evolved"? and came back with the NO NO NO!..... What im trying to say is that I believe this whole thing will help bryan not only remain relevant and in the spotlight but push him even further!.... the whole crowd was chanting yes yes yes yes all match long and daniel bryan just fed off it and got bigger and bigger reactions.....

Are you a fan of this whole YES NO trend or do you think its just the same thing but instead of yes just no? or do you think both catchphrases are annoying??

Discuss....

It's been said that any reaction is better than no reaction, and Daniel Bryan is getting one of the loudest reactions right now.
The guy has really taken his character to a whole new level and I find it entertaining.

I just think whenever the time comes to turn him back to a face, the YES! chant will be booming much like it was the RAW after Wrestlemania, or maybe even more.

For me, it's entertaining and I think with the chant and crowd reaction, Bryan is just going to get to bigger.

 

[Prince Punk]

I think the Yes chant to Danial Bryan is the You suck chant to Kurt Angle. It's that one thing that got him over to the point that his character was allowed to flow on screen and given the time that is needed for people to become invested. The No chant is perfect for him now as he is this mega heel and the crowed loves mocking him with yes so it becomes this VERY simple word battle that in a pg and pc world is more than acceptable.

He has always had the wrestling ability and now I feel that he has been in the E awhile he has sharpened his mic skills A LOT and has taken his gimmick and ran with it. His overall look and abilities have increased tremendously over the past year alone and I greatly look forward to seeing him continue on in the main event. (I'm thinking if he keeps steam he will have a world/wwe title run sometime in 2013)

 

[dman1373]

I think the nos are a way for wwe to try to get him or make it appear that he has heat. Cause he is over, but most of the crowd are cheering him rather than booing him. I don't see the nos going that far past summerslam, as i see a daniel bryan face turn coming not to far after.

 

[Christian Faith]

Until Friday night and maybe his bit on Monday with the doctor I thought DB was boring.

Yes yes yes annoyed me and I was not a fan at all.

But I found myself laughing at him for the 1st time ever last week. His unhealthy Charlie Sheen obsession complete with his new no no no gimmick have caught my attention and I think I might actually be beginning to like him!

The Yes yes yes chant directed at DB has the potential to be as big as What? when it was aimed at Kurt Angle.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

I know that Daniel Bryan is a fantastic wrestler, he is living his long life dream and all that stuff, but I'm getting tired of him. I have good reasons for it, first his catchphrases isn't anything original, most of people chant it because it is fun to do it, not because Daniel Bryan made him do it. I don't like to count his annoying catchphrase as a reaction, I think that it's just fun to do it. The second reason, is the TV Time that Bryan gets weekly. He is that kind of guy that gets one hour per week just to develop his character, he gets half an hour on RAW and another half an hour on SmackDown.

While he's getting that amount of TV Time, you see guys like Cody Rhodes, Zack Ryder, Damien Sandow, Jinder Mahal, Alex Riley, Drew McIntyre not even getting five minutes and you don't even see the divas anymore. I think that is bullshit, he isn't that big of a deal to get that amount of TV Time. His mic skills are at least average, his look isn't marketable so I don't get it.

He's just getting push after push, he got that World Heavyweight Championship without a good build, he was on Superstars for god sake. Then after he lost the championship, he was after the WWE Title (and I'm like WTF??), he was on of the biggest angles after Mania. Like I said, I respect his wrestling ability but he isn't the type of guy who I want to see twice a week with that same promos about "Am I gonna do that? Yes/No".

I'm sorry but you're wrong. 1 year ago Daniel Bryan had the MitB briefcase and was barely on TV, and when he was he was losing fast to mid card guys, like Cody and Drew etc etc (not specifically them but that "calibur" of opponent). Daniel Bryan did something that none of those people you mentioned could do (with the slight exception of Zack Ryder), which is he got himself over. People cared. People at this point don't really care about Drew McIntyre (as much as I agree he is better than he is shown on tv and wish he got a push), they don't care about Damien Sandow, except for he's new, and also he gets tv time, they don't care about Cody Rhodes ever since he dropped his disfigured gimmick, he's a miz clone, which is a jericho clone, which is a whoever jericho stole it from clone (I forget who but Jericho gave credit).

But Daniel Bryan GETS a reaction. Have the HEEL Daniel Bryan walk out, and the HEEL Cody Rhodes walk out, who is the crowd going to care about more? Thats who they are going to see more. He is not taking time away from anyone, he earned his time. And he got WWE title matches because his matches with Punk kick ass, and Vince noticed how into the matches the crowds were, and continued to make them, and each match was generally thought of as great.

Daniel Bryan took his "YES" Gimmick and RAN with it. Who CARES if it is simple? The point isn't to have a complicated difficult to remember or say catch phrase, its supposed to be easy and fun to say. I mean do you really think his catchphrase should be "I am a great technical wrestler"? Who is going to say that. Why does "What?" get such a reaction? Its easy and catches on. And honestly, in 2012, almost EVERYTHING is "unoriginal". Fresh and "original" are different, and Daniel Bryan is fresh, and he caused the crowds to care about him and want to see him, unlike the midcarders you mentioned (again Zack Ryder is a slight exception) have done.

 

[Wolf Pac]

It annoys me but not because I find the chant annoying, well I do, but I find it annoying because he stole it from Diego Sanchez. He's getting over on somebody else's catchphrase and "YES" will always be assosciated with him now. I wouldn't be suprised if wrestling fans watch Diego for the first time ever and accuse him of stealing it from Bryan. And Diego does it better, he gets people hyped up for the fights with it but Bryan just annoys you with it. Daniel has killed that catchphrase for Diego. If he made up his own catchphrase then I wouldn't mind.

 

[ABMorales787]

Whoever thinks a chant can elevate a talent needs to rethink. A wrestlers charisma does that. Daniel Bryan is gonna go as far as his own personal abilities can take him. Getting the crowd to go "YES YES YES", "NO NO NO" or "TAP TAP TAP" and follow along would only happen if the crowd enjoys and accept him. Learning a cute rhyme the crowd can chant isn't going to elevate you.

 

[Mongoose McQueen]

Well, I think that the YES YES YES! Stuff ran it course and naturally, YES! Has turned to NO! Which is good because it shows evolution in Bryans character. But sometimes I find it hard to take him seriously, I know he gets a decent reaction but the way he acts is difficult to take seriously. He needs a new dimension to his character, the current storyline is he is involved in is great. But he needs something more than just NO!

Having said that, I am a big fan of danial Bryan and hopefully e can recapture the world title Some stage next year. I hope he does and as long as he continues to involve, he should continue to get a loud reaction and win the world title again in the future. He is evolving his character at a really fast pace and has had a great year thus far.

He has a bright future and is still young, he has potential to be a top main eventer on both Raw and Smackdown. He is good on the mic and is a terrific wrestler and is so over.

Sometimes you just got to understand that life ain't fair. At the core of Daniel Bryan's success is the fans creating the buzz behind his character. Many of us enjoy him for the simple fact that we're the reason why he got pushed. So truthfully, if you're sick of him getting this massive push he's been getting and all of the time he's been soaking up during the shows, the people you really have a bone to pick with is us. And that's fine but lets also look at the big elephant in the room as well.

The guys you mentioned, Cody Rhodes, Zack Ryder, Damien Sandow, Jinder Mahal, Alex Riley, and Drew McIntyre, are all characters who's gimmicks were also thought up (or given the ok) by Creative. But did we get behind them the way we did with Daniel Bryan? No. We didn't all show up to the arena with paper bags on our heads, we didn't get Chosen One tees, we ditched "We want Ryder!" chants the moment Zack started getting decent time on tv, we didn't beg to see Alex Riley after we was reverted to lower card obscurity, we didn't give two flying fucks about Jinder Mahal from his inception to his delegated spot on Superstars. So as much as you're tired of seeing Daniel Bryan, it's almost necessary to be bombarded with a guy who gets this much attention. He's the hottest thing in the WWE right now whether you're a fan or not.

Take solace in knowing that he's still booked as a loser. He complains, he loses title matches and it's definitely not like he's won over Sheamus, Cena, or CM Punk for the title. So that at least shows that they're making him work his way back up for a title. Name other booked jobbers/losers in the WWE right now who they tried to push in their current gimmick yet it never worked. For the exception of Riley, that would be the guys you named. Your hate is a bit misguided. You sir, hate that the fans chose to get behind something that you aren't impressed with...and there's nothing wrong with that.

 

[Mustang Sally]

I know that Daniel Bryan is a fantastic wrestler, he is living his long life dream and all that stuff, but I'm getting tired of him.

Well, if you're feeling that way, then look out below. If the first 3-hour Raw in the new era is an indication, we're going to see more of Daniel Bryan than ever. Also, more of the guys & gals at the very top: Cena, Punk, Ziggler and Big Show. That's what we saw last Monday; more spots for the top guys and still nothing new for the mid-carders or anyone else.

No one benefited more from all this "star gazing" than Daniel. He had multiple segments on the show, most involving him with the psychiatrist. Honestly, I'm concerned the 3-hour Raw may cause us to get sick of all these guys if they're to be overused as they were last week.

To that end, whether Daniel can be taken to an even higher level will depend on the programs they create for him now that he's completed his highly successful involvements with Big Show, Mark Henry and A.J. Frankly, she was the best thing that ever happened to him; after losing his title to Sheamus, I thought his act was losing steam. Instead, his "Yes! Yes! Yes!" stuff got better reactions than ever from the fans after getting his affairs entangled with her. (Shows what a good woman can do!)

Now, Creative needs to find something new. It could be they already have; a "going insane" program for Daniel. After all, he's got to be nuts to get agitated over a fight with Charlie Sheen, no? (talk about head cases )

For starters, turning the "Yes!" chant into a "No!" is a logical step. Obviously, the writers are always looking for a program or slogan that's new and unique. It's ironic how sometimes the simplest turn of phrase can be the most effective tool of all.

 

[Pedigree1]

Gotta admit Daniel Bryan last week on raw and smackdown was highly entertaining. I just fear that the WWE is using too much too soon on him. DB chanting NO NO NO and the crowd chanting YES YES YES is funny stuff. Its awesome for DB getting over right now the guy is a fantastic wrestler a damn good one at that. Having DB right now acting bat shit crazy is the hottest thing in wrestling today IMO.

But with the 3 hour raw every week i fear that too much of a good thing will turn out to be a bad thing. Having DB seeing a psychiatrist was all too funny and his obsession with charlie sheen was golden was it not?

I respect your opinion, I really do and I can see the appeal in Daniel Bryan. He is very entertaining, however he is entertaining in small doses. We don't need to watch him take over of both RAW and SmackDown. Daniel Bryan was not getting a lot of fans behind him when he won the MITB Briefcase, I for once was rooting for a) Wade Barrett or b) Cody Rhodes. Daniel Bryan was working with Sin Cara and Hunico at that time, not that relevant and nobody cared.

About the other guys I mentioned, like I said nobody really cared about Daniel Bryan's place after he got the MITB, but he had the push and he won a lot with a "smart" crowd after Mania, because lets be serious for just a moment IWC loves DANIEL BRYAN and almost everyone that leaves ROH to a MAJOR COMPANY. He isn't the most charismatic, he isn't the best on the stick so why Bryan? In my mind he is nothing more than a midcarder, he would do wonders with the IC Title on his waist. He would fit perfectly with it. History (no pun) proved that IC Champions give us great wrestling matches and Daniel Bryan does that. I just think that Bryan gets to much TV Time, and people that could also help don't have anything.

 

[Irig]

First up i would like to say Bryan when he won money in the bank i never thought he would win the title. He won the title. After that he slowly transformed himself into a heel. I knew Shemus would defeat him but never thought he would be having the Title till wrestlemania.

IMO Bryan's pinnacle is that 18 second match and the Miami crowd on that day if it wasn't for that crowd he wouldn't have been what he's now.

I feel that he was rushed into a feud with Punk as he was affecting babyface Shemas.

With Punk he proved his mic skills too and the testimony of that is the Raw1000 segment with Rock himself never thought he would be in same ring with Rock.

He fought hard to come through and he's become versatile now. He can be like Chris Jericho/ CM Punk in sense he can be heel or face or a tweener. Very few can do that.

Hope he wins Rumble and faces Rock at Wrestlemania that would be a dream now can become reality soon.

Effectively it seems you dislike him simply to be contrarian. That's fine. It's your perogative to do that and I will not stop you.

It's simple. Daniel Bryan has phenominal matches with everyone. He can work the ring, tell a story and work the crowd. He is pretty damn close to being on a par with guys like Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels and that is something else, he is a genuinely great talent.

He's also small, really small for a WWE wrestler. Vince doesn't like that so he had Bryan steamrolled at Wrestlemania in 18 seconds. Intentionally or not from that point, from that Miami crowd going bananas for him as he entered to effectively turning on Seamus when he lost Daniel Bryan has been super over. He's becoming one of the biggest stars in the company and in a few years expect Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk to headline Wrestlemania. He is that good. Bret Hart was not a master of the microphone and he didn't need to be. Daniel Bryan is as good as Bret was in the ring and he's better on the stick in my opinion, he's a guy the WWE can rest on between megastars, much like the mid nineties when they pinned the company on Hart and HBK.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I don't know about taking him to an even "bigger level", but it's another big example of how over Bryan currently is. Bryan playing off the audience and the audience playing off of him makes for entertaining segments. I agree with the OP in regards to Bryan's "confrontation" with the fan at the security barricade this past Friday on SD! was highly entertaining. Bryan's emotions & intensity works well and it makes it all that much more fun to either cheer for him or against him.

As for WWE possibly giving Bryan too much time on Raw now than it's 3 hours, I see both sides of the issue. On one hand, you don't want to see someone shoved down your throat constantly throughout the night. WWE used to do that with Cena and it did get old after a while. At the same time however, Bryan's segments have been drawing well on Raw for months now. His segments have been among the highest rated on the show for the past few months. Bryan's very over right now, so it makes all the sense in the world to give him a lot of time. You want viewers to tune in after all and Bryan's a draw right now.

I do look for Raw to put more focus on some of the other angles as well. I think so much additional emphasis was placed on the WWE Championship scene, Daniel Bryan and a few others as a means attempting to get the three hour format off the ground with some big momentum. After all, Raw 1,001 was the first "regular" show in the new 3 hour format. There'll probably be a few kinks to be worked out here and there. I do think that if Raw continues to go with last week's formula, however, people are going to lose interest. Use of the additional time to further hype the top storylines is good here and there, but I think it'll ultimately be a waste if it's not primarily used for the hype of some of the lesser feuds, highlighting some other talent, etc.

 

[BigThunder]

NO lol

Yes, lol.

Seriously though, it depends on whether Bryan can continue to be creative with this and evolve the gimmick. The bit with the fan (and I hope he was a fan and not a plant) was hysterical, so initial signs are good. He really knows his gimmick inside and out and is playing it perfectly at the moment.

 

[cstatus94]

It is just redundant and I don't believe it truly ran its course. Looking how long "You can't see me" has run its course. But wait it is still going on. Certain chants that define a Wrestler can last for as long as it wants too. I believe Yes could of last a pretty long time but I like the No it is a nice change

By your statement about CM Punk & Daniel Bryan headlining a WrestleMania, I can see that you are one of the guys that saw both grow on Ring of Honor, which has anything wrong taking the fact that you overrate people like shit. Daniel Bryan isn't at the same level as guys like Ric Flair and Michaels, that's just one of the stupidest comparisons I've ever seen. He's at best in Owen's Hart position in 1998 when he was feuding with DX.

He isn't drawing solo like The Miz and CM Punk did when they were being pushed. For instance Miz won a million viewers with that MIZstory promo, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk is midst of a feud, in a match LOST 200.000 viewers. How in the hell is that being popular?

 

[DirtyD79]

It annoys me but not because I find the chant annoying, well I do, but I find it annoying because he stole it from Diego Sanchez. He's getting over on somebody else's catchphrase and "YES" will always be assosciated with him now. I wouldn't be suprised if wrestling fans watch Diego for the first time ever and accuse him of stealing it from Bryan. And Diego does it better, he gets people hyped up for the fights with it but Bryan just annoys you with it. Daniel has killed that catchphrase for Diego. If he made up his own catchphrase then I wouldn't mind.

Oh noooo, He stole his catchphrase? Why I'll bet that made Diego Sanchez so mad he could just wear white after labor day. Or most likely he probably doesn't give a shit and neither should you. Hell if anybody invented saying "yes! yes! yes!" it was probably some chick in a porno.

 

[AustinERA316]

Daniel Bryan deserves that massive 'push', he has worked hard, he's a tremendous in ring competitor, so over with the fans. Deserves everything because he has talent. Don't need 6 ft 5, 280-300 pound big guys, just look at Punk, Bryan, they can easily lead WWE into the future

 

[TempestH]

I agree that Daniel Bryan is the hottest thing going on in the WWE right now. However, I still feel that the guy is getting too much TV time. He doesn't need 20 minutes on BOTH RAW and SmackDown. He's feuding with AJ, to be more exact, he's feuding with the RAW GM, so he should either stay solely on RAW to continue the angle, or stay solely on SmackDown to get away from her.

 

[Dilligaf]

I think the yes/no chants have run their course now and its starting to fuck me off hearing DB arguing with fans yelling no when the fans chant yes.

At WM, hearing 78,000 ppl chanting yes inside the stadium and seeing gangs of ppl walking around the stadium chanting yes was proof enough for me he was well over with the fans.

But im thinking WWE is losing an uphill battle with the fans chanting yes, to get them to stop doing it with NO.

 

[Jenna.]

To simply put it DB, is the man. I'll be the first to admit that I hated him. He's was boring as fuck and even had a dopey boring look. I hated everything about him and didn't understand why they kept him every week on Smackdown performing. But he's a genius! Obviously you have creative writing his lines, but boy does he execute everything handed to him. Since the day he cashed in and won his title, he's just been really impressive. He's even a better wrestler, not to say it was bad before, but it was boring. Between him and AJ they're honestly a breath of fresh air to watch on the WWE right now. I honestly believe he can win the WWE title soon and carry the company for a bit, as hot as he is right now. The pops he gets are INSANE, like I can't really remember when the crowd goes in a frenzy when a wrestler comes out on a daily basis, such as with him.
