3. Daniel Bryan Vs. Triple H - WrestleMania XXX
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY29w6SuwZI Talking of promos that fit the bill perfectly, this is one of them. The journey it takes us on is totally in keeping of the story line that took place over a number of months on television. The joy and elation through the early stages of the promo completely encapsulates Bryan's rise to the top while the sudden halt in proceedings gets HHH over no ends, and reflects how he was 'running' WWE at the time. The promo gives nothing away in terms of what was due to happen at Mania 30. We've seen in earlier entries how, in Ric Flair/Shawn Michaels case especially, the content gave away the result of the match. Even though the odds were stacked against him, the majority of the WWE Universe still expected him to go over but this wasn't apparent during the package. WWE kept up the mantra that there was no chance of Bryan going over, which only added to the pay off when he eventually won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
