Regarding Daniel Bryan and The Miz
I know some of you are loathe to fantasy booking, but I think this works.
Rather than unceremoniously move on from the fantastic angle between Bryan and Miz on Talking Smack, why didn't the WWE bring Bryan out like
they did and then have Miz come out and continue the "go back to the indies" angle. Bryan looks like he is about to blow his top, and he and Miz go
nose to nose as the crowd chants "YES!" expecting Bryan to throw down one more time. Instead, Bryan says that he can't - he just can't -
wrestle again. But if Miz has such a problem with guys who cut their teeth on the indy scene, he has a guy who CAN wrestle in his place.
Samoa Joe's music hits and he proceeds to beat the fuck out of Miz, and then celebrate in the ring with Bryan. Following week, Bryan announces
Joe vs. Miz for the IC title.
1. Miz gets the rub from Bryan.
2. Samoa Joe gets a cool, legit introduction.
3. Sets up Joe vs. Miz at Backlash
4.???
5. Print money
When it Reigns, it bores.

Well, Joe's probably got a broken jaw from his match with Nakamura, which might be a wee bit of a problem. Also, Joe's a heel. But would I
enjoy it? Yes, but I'm a Joe mark.
I still stand by my assertion that Dolph should've joined up with Miz in his hatred of indie darlings, then the two of them and Baron Corbin
could've terrorized GM Daniel Bryan (with Corbin constantly threatening him) until Bryan could summon the indie hordes to save him (presuming
that neither Dean nor Styles have an interest in sticking up for the indie guys cause...well, actually just their personalities pretty well explains
that).

Totally with Charger and GEG on their ideas. Kinda deflating if that sweet promo, and the concept behind it, is just so Miz and Dolph can have a go at
each other. Which I'm all for, but it seems like a waste if that's all they do with it considering the implications of The Promo. But,
it's early on so I'll wait and see. Bryan did give Shane shit about the Brock stuff after Shane soureyed Bryan post-The Promo. I also like
the more aggressive and less cartoony Miz. I also enjoy Maryseses silicone sex orbs.
I am a Smackdown mark. A Smark, if you wheel. Except Baron Corbin. Fuck that guy.

I think Smackdown needs something to hang it's hat on story wise, and I think this is something you could build on... Plus, you've got
Survivor Series coming up where you could spread the angle out a bit more, and give Miz a win in the feud.

If you wanted to go the indy darling route (and I like the idea), I'd do it with
a) Current WWE roster: Sami Zayn morphing in and out of El Generico. Fuck, I saw that dude wrestle twice in Chikara and he DEFINES indy darling. The
match he had with Sara del Ray was incredible
b) Former indy darling: Chris Hero. Fat gut and all. Because he's about the only indy darling that hasn't had a WWE/NXT run (I know he
was in NXT, but not when NXT was almost a legit wrestling company).
c) Former indy darling now signed to NXT: Johnny Gargano. Dude epitomizes what it means to be an under-sized indy darling.
d) obnoxious indy star: Chucky T and the whole f'n Gentleman's Club. Chuck is probably the best active comedy wrestling (I loved
Archibald Peck, but he seems to be inactive), Drew Gulak can flat out go, Orange Cassidy is ridiculous, the Swamp Monster just screams indy silliness
and the racist rants of Colonel Nolan Angus would fit right in with this Presidential election. Probably too risque for this age, but I'd love
it.
and since we're going full fantasy, I'll throw in one more
e) the Briscoe Brothers. I can't think of a bigger contradiction between the pretty boy MIZ and those two rednecks.

Because then you create a situation were neither guy can afford to lose. Either Joe has an underwhelming debut or Miz built all that hype just to get
crushed the next month.Yeah, they might have been better options than Ziggler but Miz should definently run over a few guys before butting heads with
a force like Joe.
GEG I really didn't get a homegrown guy shitting on the indie guys vibe from the Miz(yeah he insulted them, but it wasn't his focus) and
going the homegrown heels vs the indie darlings I feel would be a bit lame when a much more unique opportunity is available.
I feel WWE is close, really close to turning Miz into their equivalent of Floyd MayWeather or Good God, maybe just maybe, the brilliant version of
Cactus Jack who used headlocks to piss off the ECW mutants. People are saying they broke kayfabe last week, but Bryan putting down Miz for his style
is the same exact way many put down Mayweather despite the fact that he wins. Back when beat Pacquiao, people didn't give a fuck that he won and
still shat on him. Putting down athletes(not booing them or hating, but flat out insisting they aren't that good) because you weren't
entertain by them even though they are objectively the best of their profession is a real thing.
Let Miz run with it, be obnoxiously pragmatic and keep that fire because fans will never be on his side because he just isn't as fun as the
rest, pissing me off even further because fuck you he's the one winning!

I can't make my mind up between whether I want to see Miz crack and beat the shit out of everyone for a while, or just settle in and keep on
winning like he has done.
There is potential for a real rally behind Miz in future, he's the solid reliable guy who we have loved to hate for so long, as long as they
don't force it, it'll be fine.
The chicken suit line was sheer genius.

Well, so much for all that...
quote:
According to PWInsider, the Daniel Bryan and Miz story was cut short this week on Smackdown because the Talking Smack segment from last week
went in a direction the company didn�t expect.
The Smackdown post-show segment in question received a lot of attention online and it was a largely unscripted segment. The banter was planned ahead
of time, but Miz�s improvisation during the segment cause things to veer away from what the company planned. Daniel Bryan noted on the August 30th
episode of Talking Smack and last night�s SportsCenter that WWE intends to keep he and the Miz far apart while they�re on screen, which suggests that
the segment didn�t go how WWE planned and won�t be followed up on in terms of the interactions between Bryan and Miz.
The top comment on this article sums it up fucking best:
quote:
WWE Creative Hans Moleman: I need you to get this angle over as much as possible...no, that's too over.
Saddest part is how unsurprising it is. Something that's gotten them tons of buzz... and they say "fuck it' because it wasn't
something they 100% mapped out themselves.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

If they dump this angle because it got over, it is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with the WWE.

They dumped it because they
don't want people thinking Bryan is coming out of retirement. Hell, that segment already caused an article about how WWE hadn't shut the
door completely to Bryan returning to the ring. The more they continued with it, no matter how much they try to tell you Bryan won't compete,
will just further convince fans that Bryan will comeback to wrestle and that when it doesn't happen, they will get massive heat for not allowing
him to wrestle all over again. I don't blame them for doing what they do it in that context.
