I'd say it's fairly split the opinions on him on here. I like him but it wasn't even the fact that Bryan didn't win the RR just the fact it was Reigns, if they were booked better I'd have Ambrose, Ziggler and although a heel Rollins ahead of Bryan. But booking wise would have only made sense to be Reigns or Bryan winning.
I think Bryans problem is he doesn't whine enough, according to HHH he was asking for him to go to WM main event to be cancelled, you have to be a arsehole to get to the top in the WWE, he should be using the fact he's the most over to his advantage but seems happy to just have a midcard match.

I just hope they don't try and squeeze him in the main event as the fans can express opinions, but the day Vince keels over to the fans WWE will start to die.
Yes Vinces views may be a little outdated, but the fans should never ever dictate. Reigns isn't ready like and he will win WM as Vince is so stubborn. Itll be the end of Reigns though.

I've said it on here before but they can't put Bryan in for a second year simply because of crowd reaction, just gonna make fans realise they can get what they want by ruining the show.

There's no way they can have reigns beat Bryan at fast lane remaining a face. The boos would be worse than the rumble. Only way to save reigns is to turn him heel.

Might be a bit dense here as well but why is Reigns being compared to the Rock so much, they are nothing alike at all. If anything Reigns reminds me of Kevin Nash.
Totally agree mate, an excellent angle would be to have a scenario where the Rock was involved and for Reigns to attack the Rock as he stopped him trying to beat Bryan dirty.
To turn heel beating not one but two babyfaces brutally and a dirty win to reach WM could really be the making of Reigns, wont happen though.

Just because they're cousins, although technically they're not related just both families are close. No chance Reigns has the talent of The Rock.
they had a very similar start to the wwe though!
'Johnson made his WWF debut as Rocky Maivia, a combination of his father and grandfather's ring names. He was initially reluctant to take the name, but was persuaded by

He was given the nickname "The Blue Chipper", and his lineage was played to on TV, where he was hyped as the WWF's first third-generation wrestler. Maivia, a clean-cut character, was pushed heavily from the start despite his wrestling inexperience. He debuted at in November 1996, in an ; he was the sole survivor. However, WWF fans rejected him due his out-time, cheesy character. On February 13, 1997, he won the from on . Maivia successfully defended the title at against , at against Hunter Hearst Helmsley and at against . He defeated by disqualification in a title defense on the March 31 episode of . On April 20, at , he lost to by countout, retaining the title for the final time. Though pushed as a face, audiences generally disliked Maivia. Chants of "Die, Rocky, die!" and "Rocky sucks!" were common during his matches'

If they continued to put Bryan in WrestleMania main events and have him win the belt it would completely destroy his 'underdog' character. It wouldn't be long before its all #BRYANWINSLOL and the way they're booking him is fine at the minute, especially considering he's just came back from a broken freakin' neck.
Would you really give the belt to someone whose injury has just caused you to rewrite your entire storylines for the rest of the year anyway?

Anyone that doesn't appreciate the fact that Bryan is a great wrestler doesn't really grasp what wrestling is all about IMO.

I think that's what good about him. If WWE fucked off every gimmick and just made their product more realistic, maybe more of the wrestlers would get over.

His gimmick is work hard, great wrestler, not very big underdog. I think he's doing perfectly.

Being serious though, I've heard the UFC style of character idea put forward loads of times and you can see why it might work. It'd certainly grab the attention of the casual fan.
Lucha Underground have gone down that route with the vignettes and pre tapes and it's intense viewing.

Unfortunately he has that f***ing ''yes yes yes'' gimmick which is probably the main reason I cant stand him.

This. It's had it's day, just like the 'WHAT?' chant.
He's nothing like Austin. His promos are tedious and boring. Austin had you on the edge of your seat, like Wyatt and ambrose do now. Bryan is nothing like Austin.
Banks

I don't even know how you could compare the two. Bryans anti authority only works because hes a scrawny little wrestler with a beard and doesn't fit Vinces Dominant powerful monsters.
Austin was very similar to the wrestler Vince likes, if anything you could say hes CM Punk like, but CM Punks promos blow Bryans away.
