Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Didnt see much of the show, but I just watched the Sheamus and Daniel Bryan interview segment and pissed my sides. "Shut up AJ", indeed. Bryan and Sheamus is a simple little story, but I'm looking forward to it. If it is the opener, they are guarenteed about 15 minutes, so its not all bad. People are talking about Jericho and Punk being a great match, but I think given the time, Sheamus and Bryan could tear it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhphzS3t3rg...player_embedded  "If anything she's gotten in the way ... and I mean that literally sweetheart". What a man Daniel Bryan is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted March 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'll admit I was wrong about Daniel Bryan. He's a shit face, but as a heel he's been one of the best things on Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 From what I saw of him in RoH and other indies, Bryan was always a tremendous heel character and a rather dull face. It made sense to introduce him as a babyface when he arrived in WWE, because he was the 'internet darling' and had that particular section of the audience behind him from the get go, but I always felt that it would take a heel turn for him to show what he was really capable of. He's been amazing since the turn, but I'm not surprised in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 "AJ, shut up," is superb. Â A few months ago, I said to my mate, that I hoped Daniel Bryan would fuck off sooner rather than later. Now, he is one of my favourite superstars to watch. Brilliant heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I enjoyed Bryan and Sheamus' talking bit, but there's still nothing to their feud. When Bryan spat in Sheamus' face a few weeks back, that should've been the start of something, but it just got forgotten and they're not even pretending to have any real issue.

andrew "the ref" coyne Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Awesome. Daniel Bryan is such a dick. Love it. Not had chance to watch smackdown, but that one video of him telling AJ to shut up was fabulous. Should be a good match between the two and I'm looking forward to it.

The King of Old School Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Always same isnt it? Wrestler comes in as a face, becomes as dull as dishwates, turns heel and is allowed to show some personality, everyone loves him. Hope Bryan/Sheamus does open mania, stick it in the middle of the card where the crowd doesnt give a shit and everyone will be slating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think Lenny and Chuck may be getting their D Bryan merch out for Wrestlemania. The man is the best thing going today, daddy. Â It's a shameful thing that Sheamus isn't interesting though. I hope he loses and the man with charisma and undeniable sex appeal wins.

Paid Members Foale Posted March 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah, that segment made me realise that Sheamus is pretty dull on the mic, isn't he? Next to Bryan he certainly is anyway. I think he needs more intensity and to stop coming out with generic babyface phrases: "I'm lucky to be out in front of all of these people here tonight!" Ugh. Â As others have mentioned though, Bryan is gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Aye, I agree with you. Sheamus is at his best as an arse kicker. He's just playing a generic WWE babyface (with an Irish accent) and he's not that believable at it. Sheamus has everything to be great, he just needs to sort out his character.

Doog Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It's so typical of modern day WWE though. You take a big heel like Sheamus, he's getting over as a take no shit ass kicker, he's starting to get cheered, so WWE turn him, however instead of just letting him be, they make him a happy smiling generic babyface. They do it all the time, I just dont get it. They ruined John Morrison by turning him face, they've regressed Sheamus, it's only Orton whos really been able to keep his whole character. Â On the other hand, there's Daniel Bryan, who was your generic babyface, they've turned him heel, let him come out a bit, and he's amazing. Problem is tho, he'll get cheered again soon and become just another generic babyface. Â I mean, let's take Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Ezekiel Jackson, Tyson Kidd, Big Show, what's the difference between them? Asife from look and moveset of course they.all have the exact same gimmick, they come out all happy smiley, slapping hands etc, there's no gimmick there, its dull. Â It's something that's been bothering me for a while now, at least in TNA, for all its faults, every big star has his own thing and can be himself somewhat.

Golden Eagle Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 With the WWE it is all about appealing to the masses, so while the wrestling fans may not be as enthusiastic about how a certain wrestler is being portrayed, the casual fan is lapping it up and are not as bothered.

King Pitcos Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Sheamus definitely wasn't a "take no shit ass kicker" before he turned face. And Morrison was just a moveset really, he was only ever good for stunts (which work better as a babyface) and tag wrestling to hide his weaknesses. Heels are always going to be more interesting to stage-two fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotlightmagnet1 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I liked Smackdown this week, and Daniel Bryan is the star for me. But Sheamus, I think half the reason I don't feel like watching him vs. Bryan is because he came out of nowhere. One minute he was in a half hearted feud with Jinder 'no heat in 6 months' Mahal and then he won the Royal Rumble. It really came out of nowhere and I feel he was getting over but this is too much for the time being. Â I'd rather Orton vs. Bryan and Sheamus vs. Kane, or Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, I feel that feud was killed too quickly for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'd rather Orton vs. Bryan and Sheamus vs. Kane, or Sheamus vs. Mark Henry, I feel that feud was killed too quickly for some reason. I actually really like the possibility of Sheamus vs Kane, definitely moreso than Orton vs Kane. The reason the Sheamus-Henry feud in the summer was cut off was to protect both from a proper loss. I'd like to see a proper feud between them, although a lot of Henry's aura is fucked now since the senseless losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
