Hard to get behind booing a guy when he’s pretty much right and he’s spitting with conviction


Bryan is gonna have a hard time “staying heel” he’s one phrase away again

I was like

When he was yelling fickle at people a few weeks back because that could easily be turned into a term of endearment

Bryan is playing a GOATsso style character too and you see the marks are eating it up. Same with female playfighter Becky Lynch. People want characters not just random first name vs. last name meaningless playfights.

The WWE’s newest bad guy? A vegan who hates capitalism and consumerism.

Daniel Bryan is a "heel" who might sincerely believe in some of the things his persona is known to say.

  • Daniel Bryan has been a professional wrestler for years, but only recently made the character switch to become a heel.
  • Bryan's unique heel work has caught a lot attention and praise among fans, and it's struck a nerve online too.
  • In Bryan's critiques of consumerist culture, the lines between sincerity and parody often become blurred.
"I'm here to take you on a much-needed educational journey," professional wrestler and current WWE Champion Daniel Bryan says in a recent YouTube video.

Bryan is standing in front of a sports arena concession stand that's serving chicken tenders and soda. But according to him the "only concessions being made are to your health and to your well-being."

"Do you know why you eat this?" he says into the camera. "Do you know why? Because you're filling a void. Because your lives are so empty and vacuous that you just shove candy, you shove popcorn down your throats!"

After tossing hotdogs and a cup-full of soda at some unlucky diners, Bryan starts railing against WWE fans' relentless consumerism, the perils of capitalism, and the damage it all does to the environment. Then he enters the arena.

"I am out here making the world a better place," Bryan says with a righteous air, walking down a staircase between the roaring crowd. "But to create change, I need you people to change. You see, because all of these people, they're weak! They're submissive. They are impotent. Weak! Change it! Submissive! Change it!"

Bryan stops to stare into the eyes of a goateed, sign-holding man in the crowd.

"Impotent!"

"I am not!" the fan says.

"Change it!"

"WOO!" the fan cries.

Bryan is, of course, playing the role of a heel: a villain character in wrestling who's meant to be hated and serve as a foil to a more sympathetic hero character. The 37-year-old wrestler, once a crowd favorite, "turned heel" in 2018 after winning a match by low-blow. Now, he's stirring up crowds with his anti-capitalism, anti-consumerism and anti-boomer message.

It's striking a nerve online, too, evidenced by the fact that more than one million people have watched this clip of Daniel calling WWE president Vince McMahon and his boomer generation the "greatest parasites of this world."

Bryan isn't the first heel to do social or political commentary. But what's unique about Bryan's persona, and what's likely part of the reason why it's been successful, is that it seems he believes in most of what he's saying: he's reported to be (mostly) a vegan, he leans left in his politics, and he expresses concern about the environment.

Of course, a major reason why Bryan's heel work is so effective is because, like all heels, he's in-your-face about the fact that he thinks he's superior to everyone. But is there more to it? What's the crowd really booing: his preachiness or his message? If wrestling heels have often assumed identities and qualities that crowds can collectively root against – including a history of characters depicted in crudely racist manners – what does it mean that crowds so readily hate a character calling for an end to real problems? And how does Bryan feel about it all?

Who knows. But the answer to that last question is probably that Bryan's enjoying his character.

"I've always loved being a bad guy; there's something more fun about it," Bryan said in a 2012 interview. "It always makes me smile. Now, I'll hear my music and (the crowd) instantly starts booing. I have to keep myself from laughing, because it makes me happy."

Wtf...lol. Now I got drunks quoting me.
Fourth time and you still ain’t denied it
No wonder you love disrespecting black posters, root for self hating hoes like Vickie and ember moon

Only rock Avis with blue eyes pale skin girls or the lightest of mixed race women

Celebrate trump for being a “draw” and how him grabbing women by the p*ssy inspires you

Where your maga hat at goody

Denied it? You really trying to gimmick that I voted for Trump? No, white boy. I didnt vote for Trump. I dont vote for clowns and anti Black sentiment . Try again. I guess this better than you bytching about Bryan 24/7 like a ready made bytch. Still gets no views though.

I'm from California. Im not some little hick playing a role..we grew up around mixed girls...actual mixed girls..not the new age nyggas who sold their parents out to be with white bytches left and right. Dumb:laugh:

Trump definitely drew at WM 23 with McMahon..not the gay ass last match. Everyone knows that.
