Mick Foley went on his Facebook on Monday night and wrote about the storyline from Raw involving Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella running away from Kane. Foley cautioned Bryan and said that now is the time for him to fight the forces backstage and shoot down horrible ideas. The storyline they did on Monday was very similar to the one they did with Zack Ryder a couple of years ago that helped derail his career. Foley’s post is below:
Whether Daniel Bryan knows it or not, NOW is the time that the fiercest fighting takes place for a WWE champion – and it has nothing to do with the action in the ring. Now is the time to step up and shoot down horrible ideas that can derail even the most promising of ideas. I used to joke that Daniel was the exception to the rule that every top guy in WWE has been percieved at one time or another as a pain in the neck – largely for their willingness to step up and call the creative team out on bad ideas when they see them. That thing I saw tonight – that thing with Daniel and Brie Bella and the car? That was a bad idea – one that never should have seen the light of day.
I have said on several occasions that I used up my ammo when it came to complaining about WWE storylines when I went to bat for the #YesMovement in the aftermath of the Royal Rumble. I’m going to do my very best to do just that. But I’ll first ask everyone involved – Daniel, Brie, Hunter, Steph, Vince, etc., to take a good look at the nearly identical storyline that ran Zack Ryder’s promising career off the rails…and do everything they can to avoid that same horrible stretch of track.
