I'm quite aware of why you were saying you look like a jackass and I was saying that you don't. Yes, you're saying that the theory was proven wrong and you look like a jackass for saying you don't believe the theory after it was proven wrong. I get it. And I saying no you don't. You don't agree with the theory, it doesn't matter if you say it before or after he was cleared. I was aware of what you meant and I was telling you that doesn't make you a jackass. Just take the compliment.
And sorry but Daniel Bryan being cleared does not in any way prove the theory wrong. If anything, clearing him now REINFORCES the theory. He has been on the shelf for nearly three years despite being cleared by several doctors. He has been cleared by doctors for over two years and nothing has changed but they still kept him on the shelf. Now by clearing him at this point, it shows that the WWE was given the correct information by doctors YET STILL kept him on the shelf. I don't see how you think this disproves the theory. It is, in fact, the very essence of the theory.
This time period has given them ample time to advance the wrestlers they think should be at the top of the WWE. He has made it rather clear that he wants to wrestle, which means that he would have had to leave WWE at the end of August if they hadn't cleared him. Daniel Bryan appearing ANYWHERE would be big ratings for that wrestling company. And they clear him about 5 months before his contract expired. Seems like it is an incentive to keep him there. Of course if he stays, they will still have control over his career, including putting him back on the shelf should they decide to do that. So yeah, the theory has not been disproven.
If WWE had money problems at all the past three years, I could see your point. But they haven't. They've had record growth, record earnings, record stock prices and record operating income before depreciation and amortization. They could afford to keep Daniel Bryan on the shelf.
So...as much as I want to be positive about wrestling...in my short time back with
the WWE product I have heard of & seen too many "decisions" that make no sense.
~ The constant pushing of Roman Reigns no matter how much the "fans" resist it...
~ The WWE ignoring the success & momentum of Rusev Day...
~ Ryback flat out stating the WWE creative tried to take away everything that got
him over...
~ Damien Sandow making everything he was given "work" & still being released...
~ Wade Barrett stating the WWE took away his "Bad News" gimmick because it
was "Too" over...
~ The stalling of Braun Strowman...
~ The terrible booking of Bayley & Sasha Banks...
& of course...
the forced retirement & the following refusal to clear Daniel Bryan.
The Conspiracy Theory isn't that hard to buy into...especially when you look at
the timing of certain events.
Let's go back to when the true trouble started for Roman Reigns...the 2015 Royal
Rumble...& for the WWE...who caused that trouble for them?
Daniel Bryan.
And what happens over time...Daniel Bryan is TOLD to retire while the WWE
actually pull back on Roman's MONSTER push...and why is that?
Because they now know they have about 2 years to get Roman over as the
top babyface before Daniel Bryan will either be cleared or leave & wrestle for
another company.
(NJPW would treat Bryan like a King I'm sure)
For the next 2+ years the WWE try everything...literally EVERYTHING they can
to get Reigns over & into the spot they want him in...but of course...it doesn't work...
and now what happens?
Daniel Bryan is finally cleared because he'll simply walk away if he isn't & he's
the top babyface again simply because the fans care about him.
They like him...
He's a normal guy who loves wrestling...and the WWE fans can relate to that.
They can't relate to an over pushed Samoan plank of wood who is booked to
look so strong its almost laughable.
The fans can't & frankly don't want to relate to him because they know that's
exactly what Vince wants.
Its the "Negative Stone Cold" effect...Austin got over because we believed
Vince didn't want him in that top spot. Austin was a wild, trash talking rebel
who waged a war against his boss...and many fans felt like a kindred spirit
to Austin.
With Roman...we know Vince wants him in that top spot...no matter what they
show us, no matter if Roman is suspended, no matter if Roman destroyed one
of Vince's fancy sports cars by filling it with concrete (cement? whatever!)...we
know its all being done to get Roman into that top spot...and we all know Vince
wants that.
Well...FUCK what Vince wants.
That guy can have anything in the world he wants...so what about what we want
as your audience? The people that line your pockets Vince.
Well...I'm pretty sure a large portion of them WANT Daniel Bryan in that top spot...
and the YES! chants will prove that.
Your 2+ years is up Vince...
Now you have to deal with Daniel Bryan being more over than Reigns ever could...
& I hope it drives you fucking mad & keeps you up at night.
Conspiracy Theory or Not...lets see you ignore Daniel Bryan now he's back, refreshed
& ready to wrestle anyone & everyone.
I hope you hear the YES! chants even in your dreams.
