2278054, It's a good story, but I don't know if it can last

Not because it's not well thought out, but simply because what makes people love Bryan so much is the knowledge that WWE won't let him be the man (this works both for real and in the storyline)

You will lose the outside the storyline love eventually and him overcoming the odds every month on PPV will simply make him John Cena. The kids will still love it but the older audience who is behind him will eventually tire of it. Right now he has the rare mix of older and younger fans loving him, that is almost impossible to have, basically him and Punk are the only ones to really nail it and run with it recently.

As soon as DB becomes the man he has peaked in the older audiences eyes. It won't be immediate, but it will only be down from there, the longer they can piss people off by using him wrong while he continues to draw people in the better for them.
