WrestleMania is less than a week away. That means, hopefully, Daniel Bryan's championship culmination is nearly upon us. Daniel Bryan has been on a hellacious journey and been engaged in brutal wars -- all leading to this moment. Beyond that, we've been on an arduous journey, as well. Fans have been hoping and dreaming for the day when Daniel Bryan stands firmly atop the WWE mountain. But until that day comes, and our journeys are validated and rewarded, there's always the chance WWE won't do it. There's a possibility Bryan will be beat at WrestleMania.

Quite frankly, it needs to happen, and here's why.

Stone Cold said that when he watches Bryan, he sees "a young man who work his ass off in the ring, who a lot of fire and passion for the business." Beyond those words of praise, another Hall of Famer has spent much time vocally supporting Bryan and publicly deriding WWE and its lack of willingness to get behind the leader of the #YESMovement -- going as far as even destroying his television set in an online video, after being disappointed in the lack of a Bryan appearance during the Royal Rumble match. With the support of guys like Austin and Foley, among numerous others, why is the Authority -- both on-screen and off -- reluctant to get behind Bryan? As we've heard before from people like Hunter and Vince, if you can get over with the fans, then you're set. Well...
Douglas Scarpa is a freelance writer, independent filmmaker, art school graduate, and pro wrestling aficionado -- all of which mean he is in financial ruin. He has no backup plan to speak of, yet maintains his abnormally high spirits. If he had only listened to the scorn of his childhood teachers, he wouldn't be in this situation.
