I always remember after the Punk and Cabana podcast and the whole make Roman look strong thing . The company kept him strong , his co workers kept him strong and he was given every opportunity to really shine on TV as the new top guy in WWE when at the time he wasnt ready for that position . This isnt to say he wasntisnt a hardworker and hasnt improved a lot but Bryan had the history of clawing and scratching every inch of the way of his wrestling career and the fans knew it and believed in him and really wanted to see him not only attain the belt for a short period of time but to be their top guy . He was an underdog ' s underdog and the crowds wanted him to get a good run but instead they got Reigns so they dumped on him . And if there is one thing that is true its that pro wrestling fans do not forgive easily .
