>>16740294you can spin it all you want, but up until 2014 the ratings were relatively stable. Bryan and the yes movement get the push, it bombs hard and wrestling never recovers. the numbers don't lie.
the smarks in the crowds hijacked the show and Vince got worked. regular viewers didn't want Daniel Bryan as the face of the company.
it took WWE 10 fucking years to get somewhere respectable and they'll never be culturally relevant to the point they were in the late 2000s, let alone the late 90s. Bryan is the biggest anti draw in wrestling history.
