 What's good Josh? You will rock back again with another video. So we're gonna check out how good was the yes movement from 2013-2014 Yes movement easily one of the Most organic movements that has ever happened in wrestling When you think of the yes movement, you obviously kind of think of the what chance that stone cold created back in the attitude era It's it's one of those things where it transcended just wrestling and When the yes movement really came into Like its own stride it it started it started to remind me and many others of The what movement the what the what chance and what stone cold created people were saying it outside of wrestling the same here This is what got Daniel Bryan over and we all know WWE did not plan for Daniel Bryan to get that over and when he got that over it was It was great because we wanted him the fans wanted him It was what even just a hardcore fans. It was the casual fans too. They wanted him to be the guy WWE did not want Daniel Bryan to be the guy and he ended up being the guy How many shows during this this movement were taken over by the yes chance How many promos was ruined because of the yes chance? It was it was just a Organic moment and I was glad I was able to witness it when it happened man One of the better times in WWE for sure So we're gonna check this out man appreciate all love and support wrote to 60k and let's do this Different show than what we know it as today. This was a time where NXT was an elimination game show God damn instant ads gotta love them gotta love them Paired up with a WWE pro and that pro would coach them through challenges and help determine the fate of the other competitors Amongst these hopefuls was Daniel Bryan Yeah, I was well respected on the indie scene and a fan favorite the hardcore is knew who this guy was They knew about his amazing in ring ability and they were pulling for the guy to win it all Unfortunately, he'd be eliminated and for a lot of people their hopes of seeing the American dragon in WWE were dashed When WWE ran their nexus angle Yeah, Brian was brought back, but he was legitimately fired after strangling Justin Roberts We all thought this was it for him He had squandered two chances at the WWE and he wouldn't be back or if he was it would be a long road back Yeah, thankfully for him WWE saw the air in their ways and brought him back from here He'd climb the ranks first He'd win the United States title beating his former NXT pro the Miz then he'd achieve success in different aspects of WWE Everything from money in the bank and even an 18 second loss Yeah, what was the time that defined this indie darling in 2011 Daniel Bryan won the money in the bank briefcase. This came at the legendary money in the bank 2011 pay-per-view I forgot about that. Yeah, that was that same pay-per-view the infamous 2011 money in the bank pay-per-view That makes sense. He did win it there. That was man If you haven't seen money in bank 2011 definitely go check it out It's an enjoyable card through top to bottom For the most part is very it's a very enjoyable show. Everything was set WWE had their money on Bryan and he was their guy, but as loved as he was He lacked one thing critical to every WWE superstar a character Sure, he would make out with the divas But was that enough Bryan when he won the money in the bank said he'd cash in at WrestleMania the following year But he'd instead end up cashing it in at TLC that year. Now Daniel Bryan was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He'd have some successful title defenses But when Royal Rumble winner Sheamus decided to choose him as his WrestleMania opponent, it was a kiss This Single-handedly, I think jump started the yes movement the way he lost in under 20 seconds at this WrestleMania it was He was technically I believe a heel at this time But the booking of this was so atrocious and People were actually doing the yes chance because I think at this time he was doing I want to say no chance And I think the crowd was you know to and you know To be like I guess you can say His opposite to kind of annoy him in character sense. They would chant yes So you oh no, I take that back No, he was chanting yes, but he was still a heel at the time So people started getting on to that wave and then when he got squashed and he pretty much got squashed here I think the movement started to really Started really going because people wanted to see him actually do well Even though technically he was a heel at this point people still wanted to see him do well I could be a little bit off on this But I believe that's kind of what started it in my opinion I think that's kind of got the wheels of motion and 18 seconds that would finish off his first title run from there He found himself in a love story with punk and AJ. Yeah, he was doing I remember the yes chance Weren't like he was still technically heel he was doing the yes chance to annoy people and then it started really becoming more of a Positive movement and later on the formation of team hell. No gain and Daniel Bryan two polar opposites Yeah, these guys just couldn't get along and it was everything Sports entertainment should be the two would attend anger management Consistently bickered but slowly they started to appreciate one another and found themselves as tag team champions The shield would put an end to that title range But man were these guys ever entertaining hell. No, they were organically loved by the WWE universe Everything they did their comedic flair. There's somehow brilliant chemistry. It was all When these two lost the titles Bryan went out of his way to prove that he wasn't the weak link of the group He delivered a more vicious side to his character It was at this time where people fell in love with Daniel Bryan even more Organic connection to the WWE fans was unrivaled his in ring skills much the same. He was universally loved It's this admiration which led John Cena to choose Daniel Bryan as his summer slam opponent The story here was the top dog in the company. Yeah, it's the underdog Yeah, it was that simple was Bryan ready to be WWE champion Well, the McMahons didn't really think so. No, they started to poke fun at his appearance and stature saying that and this is Here's what I want y'all to understand if you don't know a lot of the stuff that they come up with in these promos Especially if it's coming from Vince and upper management That's how they really feel They just cover it up as a promo, but that's how they felt They did not think Daniel Bryan was a A plus player. They always considered him as B plus the best The fans we considered him an A plus player because we knew that he was And that's what made this whole Daniel Bryan versus authority segment one of the greater Like greater like segments we've ever had like greater programs It reminds me of the Stone Cold going against events McMahon Authority figure back in the attitude era granted Daniel Bryan wasn't you know as you know rugged and and hardcore like Stone Cold character was but he had heart he had fire we had passing like Stone Cold and Basically, this is this is literally what this was the underdog going against the authority figure Stone Cold even though technically you can say he wasn't really the underdog He just wasn't the typical champion for for the for The mainstream wrestling fans of what Vince McMahon wanted, so I like the comparisons here And as you can see there had been no one as over as Stone Cold Since Daniel Bryan Name me someone that was that over universally with the the hardcore fans and the Casual fans no one had been that over outside of CM Punk Daniel Bryan Since Stone Cold this the attitude there like it was it was cool to see that he would always come up short This was because of his height and how he wasn't a prototypical wrestling star They simply said Bryan was a B plus player and a face like his would never be the face of WWE They tried to get him to cut his hair and shave his beard But it wouldn't go anywhere. This only helped get fans more behind him The whole aesthetic of Daniel Bryan just works so well He was a guy like me and you know fought for his dreams and he didn't take no for an option Now it was summer slam time. That's what worked with Stone Cold's character people could relate back to him Stone Cold He's like a guy like you and me. He works hard You know, he likes to drink his beer, but you know saying he may not look like a traditional champion But he felt like he deserved it. He put in the work. He wasn't gonna quit. He didn't take shit from no one This is somebody you wanted to be with your bosses, but you couldn't because you would get fired You wanted to flip off your bosses do the same here Daniel Bryan looks like me and you works hard and I know Jacked up wrestler, but guess what? He's gonna go out there and give it his all and it works when you when you can like connect with people on that level The sky's the limit sky's the limit man in the main event of the show was the ultimate underdog Against fantastic mass to top dog Daniel Bryan and John Cena fantastic That's a referee though was Triple H after an amazing back-and-forth match so many close falls The underdog finally. Yeah, the company and now he was the face of the company Until pedigree cash in that's all she wrote the same night Daniel Bryan had become the WWE champion It was all taken away from him Triple H turned his back on him. And now the face of WWE was Randy Orton The authority had it out for Daniel Bryan. He just didn't fit the mold. He couldn't carry the company So Triple H Vince McMahon and Stephanie would do everything in their power to keep him away from the WWE Championship They attacked Daniel Bryan mercilessly and he just couldn't do anything about it The rules were if anyone disobeyed Triple H, there would be repercussions Now it was time for night of champions such a grind build up another chance at the WWE Championship And he earned himself another win But he was stripped of the title after a fast count the authority thought that Bryan was working with referee Scott Armstrong I remember that hired him for violating policy now The title was vacated and it would be another match between Orton and Bryan this time Man, this was a good. I'm not gonna lie to you. This was such a good build up, bro because You were getting I was legitimately get invested in this because of the bullshit They were putting Daniel Bryan through was so good great storytelling. Oh, man And to prevent from any referee shenanigans Sean Michaels would be the special guest referee This was the only one triple H could trust was his best friend He knew he would do what was best for business during the match Michaels got heated after Brian attacked Triple H and you don't mess with Michaels boy So switch in music and Randy Orton was the WWE champion once again from here Brian left the WWE title scene They were enjoying his knee versus the establishment story. They put it on the back burner though He'd feud with the Wyatt family where Bray Wyatt tried to brainwash him into joining the Wyatt family and Brian had had enough He was tired of everyone screwing him over. He was tired of fighting everyone and coming up short He knew whatever he did. He just wouldn't win So he joined the Wyatt family He was now a follower of Bray Wyatt's group, but it didn't last very long after a steel cage match Why it was about to sacrifice Brian? He was the reason they lost in Wyatt's eyes. It was all Brian's fault. So he had to pay the price It was this moment where Daniel Bryan said screw following the buzzards Yeah, you're gonna follow me He beat down the Wyatt's and led one of the greatest yes chance in the history This visual was simply stunning. Yeah, from here. It was Brian Wyatt at the upcoming Royal Rumble one of if not one of the best matches that year that year Daniel Bryan versus Bray Wyatt fantastic Fantastic, and I'm okay with at the time Bray Wyatt winning because we all thought Daniel Bryan was gonna be in the Royal Rumble So we didn't really matter. I think that would have been the most epic story But they had other plans and when I say this match was amazing Fantastic was amazing fantastic Ryan fell short once again. Mm-hmm later in the night It was time for the Royal Rumble match where we wouldn't see Brian That's all the crowd wanted was Daniel. Yeah, that's all they wanted him out in the ring The moms wanted him out in the ring dogs wanted him out in the ring He was all WWE fans wanted to see was the underdog After he wasn't in the Royal Rumble fans would continue to make their voice heard Whoo, Batista are the building when he was in Royal Rumble for the simple fact They wanted Daniel Bryan. Yep, but it was literal the authority wanted a dude like this Nowhere near the main event, but one week They said they'd entertain Brian being the face of WWE all he had to do was beat WWE world champion Randy Orton But of course it would all be for not Thankfully Brian qualified for the elimination chamber where he'd have another shot the title But he was attacked by Kane and it was another opportunity where Brian would be screwed over The same guy he won tag team gold with a few years ago was the guy screwing him out of his dream It was from here. Brian had to take matters into his own hands He had to fight for the people dare He was the voice of the voiceless WWE fans were rejecting Batista and Randy Orton as the main event Oh, yeah, no one wanted that No one No one if you said you wanted that match, bro I would have to look at you very strange like like what are you talking about? No one wanted to see this No one wanted to see Evolution boys go at it. No No If Daniel Bryan wasn't gonna be in the main event None of this mattered. Yeah, because their man was Daniel Bryan. His popularity was at a fever pitch Yeah, so Brian confronted the authority. He said clearly the authority had it in for him Now all he wanted was Triple H your WrestleMania He had screwed him over for nearly a year and he needed to take out what was causing all of this on the March 3rd 2014 episode of raw Daniel Bryan stood in the middle of the ring and told the Chicago crowd They had a voice and they would hijack raw Daniel Bryan would not leave the ring until one of two things happened either triple H accepted this challenge Or a Batista came out to fight him triple H came out and the answer was still no But when Daniel Bryan fought Batista in the main event He'd hold his own against everyone until the authority would once again get the better of him The next week as long as Daniel Bryan apologized to the authority He wouldn't be fired for his actions, but Daniel Bryan would not quit Yep Daniel Bryan and hundreds of his fans dressed in his shirts. That was pretty cool I was a cool visual hostage until they got what they wanted Triple H versus Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. That was You can't I know this is all planned and stuff, but this is organic Overness, it's not even a real word. This is how you organically get over, bro Like I don't What else is there to say? I watched I'm telling you from this span period of The yes movement beginning I was watching raw heavily because I was interested in the Daniel Bryan storyline Really interested because at this point I think see him punk was having some issues With management and I think see him punk had left. I want to say because he didn't want to face triple H I Think that's what it was originally. It was gonna be him facing triple H But he didn't want to face him. I think that's what the reason was but basically because see him punk Didn't want to show up like he was done with the direction of how things were gonna be booked This is why we got what we got because technically This match Daniel Bryan wasn't supposed to be in the spot But because see him punk left he ended up being in the spot. So it was kind of a double-edged sword We lost seeing punk who we came this so a wild sight. That's all I can say Daniel Bryan no matter what anyone said just wouldn't leave the ring He had hijacked the show and despite their best efforts They couldn't clear the ring so they had to give in and the result was it was Daniel Bryan versus triple H at WrestleMania 30 if Brian won He would be added into the title match at WrestleMania 30 everything between triple H and Daniel Bryan was just so well Executed it was the highlight of the show. Yeah, how amazing both men were at their job This is great triple H would get Brian handcuffed and just Mercilessly beat him down It did a great job at cementing Daniel Bryan as the underdog He couldn't help but cheer for and also triple H as a horrible villain. Yeah WrestleMania were a different level. Yeah segments were great now We were a few days away from WrestleMania 30 Daniel Bryan would end the go-home Raw on top of But the question was so good would he end WrestleMania 30 on the top of the the way they set it up They had to because you have him going against triple H at the beginning of the I think they were gonna have him like or they had to settle where he was gonna face triple H Prop at the beginning of the show and then later on if he wins He was gonna be added to the match It wouldn't make sense for him to lose that match because it would kill all the momentum The show would be ruined because no one would care about anything else on the show because Daniel Bryan Ross He's not gonna be in a main event. So you kind of knew how where they were gonna set it up You kind of had a feeling it was gonna go this way But you was just enjoying the ride, bro, and it made it just made for epic moment at WrestleMania 30 WWE Mountain And it was a great match great They told us that selling cars that match that first match at WrestleMania 30. It definitely got things going bro That was the perfect match Mania Brock is fighting taker seen as fighting Wyatt the Rock stone cold and Hulk all appeared But there was one question could Daniel Bryan Unthinkable could he be one of the greatest in the industry and if you want that match Could he be two more of the greatest in the industry in the first match of the show? It was Daniel Bryan versus triple H winner advances to the main event of the show This match was back and forth with the proud roaring and biting at every move the tension was high and so were the stakes and It would be a running knee that helped Brian topple the game and advanced to the main event of the show The yes movement was at a fever pitch Everyone was going wild now It was the main event of the show an injured Daniel Bryan versus to the all-time greats Randy Orton and Batista But Daniel Bryan reached the mountaintop after months of mental anguish torture and being screwed at every turn Could he finally do it Brian fought his way valiantly? He would come so close. Yeah triple H The ref out of the ring that damn you triple I'm strong the same ref which was fired a few months back had returned and now he was working for the authority But that wouldn't work Then Randy and Batista would work together to eliminate the pest the guy that they just couldn't get rid of shout out to Randy Orton Hitted a RKO from a Batista bomb and landing Flesh, I mean not flesh flush on the TV monitor Look, he landed straight on the TV monitor all his weight Back landed straight on the TV monitor. Oh my god brutal I think that hurt him more than Daniel Bryan look like they had finally done that It was a Batista bomb into an RKO on the announce table Daniel Bryan was getting carted out of the arena and his hopes of winning the title were over Then he gets off the stretch. Hey, we're building this up Final flurry as the crowd is roaring need a Batista Yeah, yes lock and the culmination of everything had come true one of the best commentary by Michael Cole ever Batista tap out but he's the tap out bro I I'm getting goosebumps because I remember watching this live Remember watching this live and losing my shit Because they did it He won they listened to the fans He got the victory. Oh my god, Daniel Bryan was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Oh Everything thrown in his way was overcame. Yeah, everyone who is a thorn in his side He'd be in this match. The crowd was going wild WrestleMania Simply turned into yes, so mania and the yes movement was complete This feud solidified Daniel Bryan as a top tier star facts There was an organic magic that he encapsulated and what that is It's still kind of hard to figure out Daniel bronze run to the WWE's mount top was simply magical Even though he got injured. Yes, well done It was long-term storytelling whether it was intentional or not Who knows but this is one of the best underdog stories ever told and everything blended together so well Everything from him losing in 18 seconds to the And him overcoming everyone in his path Organic about the yes movement. It's in two different lights Some people say that Daniel Bryan became a star during this time and without this It would have been harder for guys like AJ Styles to achieve success as quick as he did People say that Brian transcended the business for guys his size And it became okay to look the way he did Others will say it was a time that didn't do anyone any favors People say this is where fans started to get their way a little bit too much That topic is up for conversation about that one that up to you as far as the yes movement goes It was just fun to watch the product It was a storyline that got you hooked in and it was simply Magical one of the greatest story lines in WWE history the yes movement is synonymous with One of the best Endings overall endings to a story You couldn't have ended it more perfectly than Daniel Bryan went in now originally I think they had Daniel Bryan holding the straps holding the belts until Summer Slim And that's when he was going to Drop it to Brock Lesnar. That's Originally that was what what what was supposed to happen He was gonna drop the belts to Brock Lesnar and because obviously Brock Lesnar beat the undertaker streak So he's gonna drop the belts But that never happened because he ended up getting injured so he couldn't wrestle stuff like that But man, I we for those who don't know a lot of things happen for this movement to happen CM Punk leaving is one of the reasons why this actually took place and the fact that the fans We made a difference I would like to think that we forced their hand because if that show did not end With Daniel Bryan winning they would have shot. They would have destroyed that main event They would have destroyed Monday Night Raw. You wouldn't have hurt by people would have been upset And this is one of the few times where I can say the booking here was it was good I don't think it was all the way intentional I don't think they wanted Daniel Bryan to be this over but the booking here was perfect They slow built the booking with Daniel Bryan to the point to where he got and it worked beautifully so comment down below Let me know Do you guys feel like the yes movement? Well, I don't even know I can ask that because I'm I'm I'm being honest with you the yes movement it I Feel like this is a redundant question. It is one of the greater things that's ever happened.
