Hahaha what bs

Daniel Bryan should go to New Japan, a place that cherishes substances over style, unlike the WWE.

I'm sure it's a known fact that I don't like Daniel Bryan, at all, but even I know that WWE is doing the most underhanded tactic to get Reigns' over. They would rather have a robotic, company poster boy be there champion rather than a guy who legitimately is talented, can charm a crowd and is organically over. It's obvious to me that they're only keeping him off TV until Roman Reigns can get his chance in the spotlight. Once he does, and the WWE shoves him down the throats of the fans for long enough, or at least until he's become the status quo, Daniel Bryan will be back.

It's sad that Daniel Bryan is being thrown under the bus for Reigns' sake. I understand the WWE desperately wants the fans to like Roman Reigns but doing what they're doing now, is the wrong way to go about things. Either they are completely oblivious as to what got Daniel Bryan over or they are just plain blueberries. Bryan got over because he isn't what the WWE is looking for. He's basically running with a less pricky version of CM Punk's gimmick. If they want Reigns to get over, why not allow him to go about things organically and have him compete against Daniel Bryan in a highly competitive match where Reigns unleashes all sorts of un-seen moves, and drama.

I couldn't care less if Daniel Bryan gets another shot at glory, even though he should get one more hoorah. But WWE really needs to reconsider they're tactics of over-booking their future star. Also, I would just like to add that WWE has to appeal to the fans that will feed the machine, no matter what, to get someone over. Those fans are the Internet fans.

It may come off stupid to us, but it's actually smart on Vince's part. Reigns is Vince's pet project and for the record, I like Reigns.
But, why bring the most popular guy back from injury when it could ruin Roman's overness? So, Vince is gonna play "we're just worried about his health and we don't wanna take any risks" and "we're also currently dealing with a lot of concussion lawsuits, hence why we're hesitant to clear DB" card. It's been working out well for him thus far.

Vince also doesn't see his buffoonery could make Reigns flop as a champion and future #1 babyface of the company. The machine is too hands on with the guy. Just let him breathe, for Pete's sake.

Now, to answer this: "DB could easily sell some more seats and brig a little fire back right now."

Well, yes. But Vince's plan is to keep Bryan on the shelf as much as possible. Even if DB wanted to leave and head back to ROH or Japan, Vince would wanna milk as much as possible out of DB's contract to prevent him from leaving and making money for someone else.

I wouldn't say it was smart in the least. I would say it makes sense WHY Vince is doing it but doesn't make sense THAT he is doing it. Ideas in one's mind does not always work out as well in practice.

For example, I am sure a lot of people other than just us are wondering this exact same thing. You hear all of this stupid crap from wrestling fans about the mystical IWC but it's idiotic because the majority of wrestling fans are likely on the internet in one way or another so we're all somewhat aware of what's going on. People other than us are likely feeling that Vince is holding Bryan back in order to try and keep him from honing in on Reigns's popularity... and all it is going to do is make people fans resent Reigns even more. And it's not ever Reigns's fault!

The smart thing to do would be to bring Bryan back and push him. Push him and push Reigns. Make them both continuous valid contenders for the WHC... a lot like Austin and Rock were simultaneously the top guy in the company for a while.. that way no one is getting held down and you're not pissing off a contingent of fans. It gives the opportunity for more storylines and clears up a lot of boredom.. seems like an easy win-win but Vince isn't doing it because he's smart... he's doing it because he has to prove that he is right.

If he's not back sometime between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania then his WWE career is guaranteed done with

Who knows how long his contract is tho for a no compete clause

How big is Vince's wallet? hyeah:

BrotherJackHusband, that comment of mine about being "smart on Vince's part" was sarcastic. :smirk2:

He thinks it's actually smart in his own mind, but it's not. He's just being stubborn and telling everyone LOVE REIGNS, GOD DAMMIT!

I have no further comment to make, as I agree with everything else you said here.

With how bad WWE is hurting right now, it's funny that Vince and triple h are turning to Sheamus and reigns lol

It'll be a shame if he's forced to retire from ever competing in WWE ever again (especially since said retirement would have come literally right when his career was at an all-time high in terms of popularity and accomplishments), but I'll look at it on the bright side the same way I did with Punk's departure - it just opens up another spot for someone to "reach for the brass ring" and try and make a name for themselves.

However, I'm optimistic that he'll be back, although I feel like his main event run (at least as far as any hopes of him having a full run with the championship goes) is pretty much done with. It would be excellent to at least see him finally win the Royal Rumble, but I also wouldn't mind him becoming a main staple of the midcard scene, since workhorses like himself are traditionally the ones who carry the midcard titles and make those belts feel special.

Oh okay... I didn't realize you were being sarcastic but I should have because you're way too smart (and sexy) t think Vince is being smart.

Daniel Bryan Says He's In The Process Of Reaching A Compromise With WWE Regarding His In-Ring Future

As noted, Daniel Bryan was on a promotional tour in Asia last week. Bryan told The New Paper in Singapore this week that his WWE career may be over. Bryan also recently spoke with The Straits Times and said that he is working on a compromise with WWEregarding his in-ring future.

"Because of my history with concussions, the WWE medical doctor wouldn't clear me. We're in the process of trying to figure out some compromise," Bryan said. "They keep sending me to do more tests, brain MRIs, brain EGs and all my tests have come back great to the point where my brain is better than someone my age with no concussion."

Bryan also discussed WWE's popularity in Singapore, wanting to face Brock Lesnar and more. You can read the full interview by clicking here.

 

[Snowman1]

Didn't someone mention that he went to the doctor who was at the Super Bowl?
Granted the NFL is... hardly a sterling example of concussion research, but as much as they worry about saving their own asses concussions they had to have picked a great doctor to keep an eye out for them. I'd trust that dude over Dr. Z-Pak

 

[Leo C]

I can see the possibility of WWE being legit concerned with his health (mostly because of the shitstorm if a dude with concussions got really banged up wrestling for them), but then I see that Tommy Dreamer is in a tables match tonight and I just can't take that possibility very seriously (although I can't ignore it). I do think it's more of a "let's keep him out so Reigns can have it all" situation, especially considering what would definitely happen if you brought DB back before the Rumble. Anywho, I just hope they want him off forever, he leaves WWE and does ROH/NJPW.

Just crossed my mind that if they are indeed keeping him off TV not to outshine Reigns, having that old brand split would do wonders for them in this case, wouldn't it?
