Well, in all fairness, the color commentator he replaced was equally as boring.
Who did he replace? He must have been really boring because I seriously do not remember.

Yup, Matt Striker.
I'll admit that Bryan isn't overly charismatic, but he is still able to connect with a significant subset of fans. There's a parallel there with Bret Hart, who also wasn't Roddy Piper on the mic, but because of his in-ring skills was able to offset his average mic skills. Same went for Benoit and Malenko more recently. But I think Bryan is significantly better than those two guys on the mic, and he's shown himself able to connect with fans at multiple levels--doing it in ROH and now in the WWE. Dibiase is just pure milquetoast. Apart from being bland personality-wise, he is nothing special in the ring, while Bryan is one of the best in-ring performers I've seen. Fans take that into account.Well, so does Daniel Bryan, but look at the push they gave him.

I dunno. To me Bryan is less appealing than 80% of the people they cut from Tough Enough this last season. BTW, whatever happened to Silent "GRRRRRRRRRR" Rage?

I remember when SCSA was singing "SILENT RAGE" like the Christmas Carol and that guy started crying and getting all pissed off.

They should've gone with Jeremiah (the perfect mix of skill and persona) for Season 5's pick. I have no clue why they went with that ******. He had zero personality and his "rage" moments induced LOL's.
While I'm sure others agree, I've been a fan of this guy for about 6 years now, and know that he's damn good. I'm glad that he's getting exposure and an opportunity, and think he's got something that the vast majority of other professional wrestlers don't, much less the amateur fitness enthusiasts of Tuff Enuff.
Having said that, I did like Jeremiah. I don't even remember this Silent Rage fellow

They seriously should have gone with Jeremiah I agree. That big baby huey's "rage moments" reminded me of an 8 year old getting pissed off at you with his face turning all red. You just cant take it serious and want to laugh instead.

Look at this guy he looks like a fool.
Like I said earlier his "mean face" is like an 8 year old mean face.

Love that Brock is back.
He is one of the few intimidating big guys that is believable as an unstoppable force. I remember when he was up and coming. WWE was high off of him being a NCAA wrestling champ and when he finally debuted, he just destroyed people. I still remember when he fought "Mr. America" Hulk Hogan and demolished him, bloodied him up and just stood over him and grabbed his head and screamed at him. Brock is the definitive image of "ruthless aggression" as Vince and Bischoff liked to say back in the day.
A column I read mentioned that John Cena needs a "Joker to his Batman" and found that interesting and somewhat true. Brock might be that "Joker". They're both from the class of 2002 from Ohio Valley Wrestling (WWE's former developmental federation) and have a long history together. And that brawl at the beginning of RAW recently was epic.
I really am not buying the CM Punk/Chris Jericho feud. I like both wrestlers, both are immensely talented, but I find it difficult to feel that the feud is THAT personal and its hard to get me involved in it. I think it feels "forced" and I think both guys feel that way as well. I wish there was some better way to get these two to dislike each other other than the typical "family insults". The "Best in the World" comments were a good start, but I think they should've gone a different direction. Like Jericho commenting that when he came to WWE it was more earth-shattering than Punk's rant. And that while Jericho is famous for his history in WCW and WWE, Punk is famous for being a locker room crybaby with Punk then dishing "personal dirt" on Jericho. Something along those lines would be better in my opinion and remind people of what made Punk skyrocket recently in the first place.
I think WWE needs to also take a page from the 1980's like they have with Brodus Clay and Lord Tensai and put that one a lot of their other talent sitting around. When wrestlers have CHARACTERS (with unique names or nicknames), they're easily more identifiable and spurn more interest. Some guys are just mediocre jobbers who just have the right "look" for the WWE (ie Ryan, Alex Riley, Heath Slater, etc.). Repackage these guys are something new!

I have a lot of respect for Williams (Stone Cold), but WTF was he thinking picking that fool?

In the past the best way to build characters was through the Tag team division, something that the WWE couldn't care less about today. Also the WWE need to get Bobby Roode out of TNA

Looks like Dean Ambrose who is one of the best wrestlers in FCW might be going to Raw or Smackdown to feud with Foley?

Ambrose certainly has character, just hope "creative" doesn't screw it up. He has a Roddy Piper with a dash more crazy when he's on the mic.
Fire Brodus Clay?
