>>5662004Agreed. Why do all his moves and strikes look like they dont even hurt? isnt the point of wrestling to look real and believable? I can only suspend disbelief so much. Bryan Danielson was also raped by a gay black gentleman.
"Here's the thing, Daniel. I've seen guys like you come and go a million times. Guys like Jericho, Edge, Rob Van Dam. All guys that are very talented, don't get me wrong. Top guys! Very popular! But not 'the one.' Never were they 'the one.' And maybe nobody wants to say this, but it needs to be said: It's a fact. If any of those guys had been the face of the WWE back in the day, we'd all be working for Ted Turner right now. You think you're playing in the big leagues, kid? You have no idea. You step inside that Hell in a Cell and I have a feeling you're gonna prove to the world that you're a B+ player."
After that, when Bryan challenged Triple H, he responded by saying he's a "A+ player" and "a star" that only faces guys at his level like The Undertaker, The Rock or Brock Lesnar.
Why did Daniel Bryan's WWE retirement lose over half a million viewers?
02.08.16 RAW viewership: 1st Hour: 3.907 million, 2nd hour: 3.905 million, 3rd Hour ft. Daniel Bryan's retirement: 3.368 million (lost 537,000 viewers).
Former WWE writer Kevin Eck stated on PWTorch Livecast (May 5, 2016); "Daniel Bryan wasn't setting world of fire, when it came to ratings in certain segments, live attendance, same thing with CM Punk, the numbers just weren't there to support that he was over to the level that certain fans thought he was."
