AS I SEE IT: Thoughts on Daniel Bryan “occupying” RAW

From last week’s column:
“Unless tonight brings Hulk Hogan’s announcement (using the rationale that the host of Wrestlemania XX give him the right) that he’s making a match for Mania with HHH vs. Bryan, I don’t know how they avoid turning fans off once and for all.
To me, the only thing that works is Hogan making the HHH vs. Bryan match for Wrestlamania 30; and making it the opening match as a qualifier for Bryan to join Batista vs. Orton in the main event if he wins. But even if we do get HHH vs. Bryan, how do you make fans believe there’s not going to be one more screwjob finish [in that match], with The Shield, Kane, Stephanie McMahon and the 101st Airborne rushing in to interfere?”
Well….it didn’t quite happen THAT way, but the end result wound up the same. I think.
Daniel Bryan has his match with HHH at Wrestlemania 30. Presumably that results in his insertion in the main event. The way they GOT there was typical WWE, somewhat overthought, with a large helping of that campiness that WWE has been known for over the years.
