We might as well continue on with WrestleMania VVXIII here!

For the second WrestleMania in a row, Daniel Bryan and Sheamus were booked for the show. For the second year in a row they were given the shaft; the second time around was much worse.

At the time, management saw big things in Sheamus, he was going to be the No. 2 babyface in the company, while Daniel Bryan was nothing but comedy fodder. Despite the crowd absolutely loving Bryan's actions, management thought they knew better.

To open up the show, Bryan did the job in 18 seconds, which was supposed to shock fans in a positive way, and get the night off to a hot start, but instead, they were angered. This was WWE's most passionate audience, and they were people who truly appreciated the talent of Bryan, and didn't want to see him squashed by the much lamer and corporate Sheamus.

This came to backfire on the company almost immediately, as the "yes!" chants really caught on the following night on Raw, basically kicking off the journey of Bryan eventually main-evening WrestleMania XXX. So while in the end things worked out for everyone (except for Sheamus), it was incredibly hard to stomach for much of the audience in the moment.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
