Daniel Bryan got released day after raw some say it was cause he choked the ring announcer with his tie others say it was cause he spat on cena during the NXt beat down on raw this week. Either way hi think he'll get rehired cause the execs liked him by all accounts

Just a theory... Anyone think that this was to prevent him from upstaging Barrett before theyre ready to give him a main title push? Barrett is suppose to be like the "top guy" of NXT and Danielson was already over with everyone. This allows them to keep establishing Barrett without the chance that its cheapened have Danielson there, once they get Barrett to a point where he's set then bring Danielson back and fued with Barrett saying that Barrett was scared and had him fired and it took everything Danielson had to get back.

They put way too much time into the American Dragon to fire him over a choke.

[Phaze]

Either way it seems he got fired because he "went too far".

What the hell were they suppose to do with that angle? Tickle them all into submission?

the feather dusters were on standby.

Anyways might be an angle might be legit the rumours are that a so called powerful person outside the WWE complained to Vince about the incident and the incident being too much for WWE's PG rating. for what its worth Cena put on twitterface that he would like Bryan Danielson to come back I dunno whats true but its starting to smell like an angle

[chuckdawg1999]

Quick but a strange question, anyone buy the WWE 50 Greatest Superstars DVD, if so did it come with a booklet? Don't know where else to ask since most places that review the set don't go into details of packaging.

Looks like this thread died...here's a match from an indy promotion from Olney, IL.

...and The Rock is back.

So is undertaker and triple H. It looks like they're going to wrestle each other in the streak versus career match.

With, if you believe the IWC, Shawn as the special guest ref.

Honestly, I hope Captain Trips doesn't end the streak. Considering the political pull he has (what with his being married to Steph and all), it's very likely he'll convince Taker to do it, especially since he's rumored to be retiring this year.

[Robinson]

Trips knows the significance of the streak. I dont think he will lobby to break it. He's said in interviews before that he doesnt need that type of recognition anymore.

[Rodimus Prime]

Yeah, I've read that as well. I hope Taker retires HHH as well. He's the only one besides Orton that I care to see anymore. Everything else is so stale. That's why I was pumped up to see The Rock back, even after Cena's weak response this week. I know Cena is supposed to face The Miz at WM27, but if they change it to a match with The Rock, I hope he doesn't job to Cena. That would be a travesty. Cena sucks.

[Robinson]

Rock wont wrestle.


He may get involved physically, but he wont be in a match.


And alot of people think Cena's response rap was what was needed for his character.

[Rodimus Prime]

And alot of people think Cena's response rap was what was needed for his character.

I kind of agree, as I did like the "Doctor of Thuganomics" from 2003-2004. It was entertaining. It was good to see, but still it was kind of cheap how he went the Brokeback route. Yeah, at the moment I thought "wow" but then I realized Cena had to say that because he couldn't pick on Rock's wrestling accomplishments, because Cena is nowhere near them. And the number of times he held a title doesn't count, because that has been diluted so bad in the last 6-7 years. Ever since Orton lost it after winning it from Benoit.

But, I would like Cena to go heel and go back to rap on people that was at least entertaining. Since about 2005, he's been just trying to be like Hogan was in the 80s, a damn cartoon character. Annoying. It did work for Hogan, but it was 25 years ago, and the times and fans are different now.

Also, I think you're right about Rock not wrestling either, though he looks to be in shape for it. But a Rock vs. Cena match would be a lot like the Rock vs. Hogan match was in 2002. Except Rock should win. (I thought Hogan should have won at WM18, but I understand why they had Rock win.)

[Darth Bombshell]

Apparently, one of the Jersey Shore bimbos is going to be hosting Raw next week.

...

Can we now offically declare Vince McMahon legally insane?

[Rodimus Prime]

That's long overdue. I'm actually looking forward to WrestleMania this year. HHH vs. Taker will be good, whatever Rock and Cena end up doing will most likely be entertaining, and HBK is going into the Hall of Fame. I'm not a fan of the guy, but he deserves it. I just hope the main events will be something good, and involve Orton winning.

[Darth Bombshell]

I'm actually looking forward to WrestleMania this year.

I was, but I always wondered why Vince felt the need to get the Rock to be guest host. Then as the card started to take shape, I finally figured it out: he's clearly hoping that he, and not the matches, are going to draw.

Last years WM didn't perform as expected so Vince (read stockholders) want a better show this year.

[Darth Bombshell]

I don't understand how last year's Wrestlemania was bad. I would have figured that Taker/Michaels II would have sold the show no matter what.

And if Vince really wanted a better show this year, he should have done a better job making up a card people couldn't figure out weeks ahead of time. Honestly, does anyone think Cena's going to lose, Del Rio is going to win or that Trips will break the streak?

...

OK, that last one is something I'm honestly worried about, but let's face it. When it comes to the other two, is there really any doubt what's going to happen there?

You can't sell a $60 ppv on one match. I'm more interested in this years card although I think it should be Orton/Miz and Cena/Punk as they dropped those feuds to quickly.

[Darth Bombshell]

You can't sell a $60 ppv on one match.

I would have thought that Vince/Bret might have helped, even if it's likely everyone watching knew Vince and Bret had already patched things up professionally years ago.

True, but you also had guys like me who knew Bret had just started walking without a cane since his stroke.

[Rodimus Prime]

I thought WMXXVI was good. I looked forward to the Taker/HBK and Bret/Vince match, as well at the "triple threat" with Orton and Legacy. I actually bought the DVD set when it came out. First once since WMXXII, and the only reason I own that was because of Bret's HoF induction. Before WMXXVI the best WM was WM21. Hopefully this will be good as well.

[JBPrime]

I'm going to the last Raw before Wrestlemania thanks to a good friend, but kind of disappointed that Rock or Austin most likely won't be there.

[Rodimus Prime]

They probably will, actually. It's the last RAW before the big event, they want to hype it as much as possible, especially after the huge buildups both story lines have been getting. If Austin isn't there, I'm 99% sure Rock will be, unless he does that stupid satellite appearance again.

[Darth Bombshell]

So, apparently Vince is going out of his way to prove my theory that he's banking on the Rock's name to sell Wrestlemania rather than putting together a card with decent matches. How else can you explain the fact that one of the Jersey Shore bimbos is going to be involved?

Note to Vince: just because TNA does it doesn't mean you should, too.

[Robinson]

They always have celebritiess get involved at WM, this is no different.


I think the top of the card will end up surprising people, especially ADR and edge.

[Darth Bombshell]

They always have celebritiess get involved at WM, this is no different.

Yeah, it is. For starters, celebrities that get involved at Wrestlemania are actually celebrities...
