Sure he seems like a really upstanding guy who would never throw his weight around...
I didn't say all that. :lol:

I just think it's a HUGE stretch to think one person -- I don't care if he is the face of a company -- has so much stroke that he can get another person fired just for spitting on him during a violent beat down angle. The rumor about Daniel Bryan offending a sponsor by choking the ring announcer with a tie sounds much more creditable. But, like I said, none of it matters because it's all a work anyway. We may not see Daniel Bryan again for 4 months, but it's a work.

I didn't say you did. I'm just saying that seems to be the general opinion of John Cena is that, like him in the ring or not, everyone seems to be agreed that he's an upstanding guy out of the ring.

And nobody said spitting on Cena was the sole reason. Maybe it was a Cena complaint and the tie choking and possibly more factors that went into the firing?

Maybe Cena felt guilty that he played a part in Danielson's firing? So that's why he's going to bat for him on the Web?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to Vince McMahon asking for Bryan Danielson to be hired back. In the letter PETA wrote, "I might not personally carry the same clout as other Bryan supporters like John Cena or Shawn Michaels (although I do consider myself 'The Showstopper of PETA'), but I am, along with many of my colleagues, a huge Daniel Bryan fan, not only because he humiliated the Miz and Michael Cole a few weeks back on Raw but also because he's vegan.

Just by being vegan, Bryan saves more than 100 animals a year, a feat far more impressive than any of Jack Swagger's 'accomplishments.' Savvy athletes go vegan for the health benefits, too, as they slash their risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

So what do you say, Mr. McMahon? Bring back Bryan and let him prove that he belongs. And maybe there could even be a storyline romance between Bryan and the gorgeous vegan diva Tiffany! (Who, in your PETA fans' opinion, deserves another shot at Layla.)"

I'm a huge DGUSA fan or atleast the Japanese version.

I was thinking about going to PA this summer to visit family which they've been wanting me to do. Now I have an excuse to so.

You know with the amount of replies in regards to Danielson he could have his thread.

Edit: I just came across this.

Bret Hart's on-screen "firing" as the Raw general manager is in direct relation to his status with WWE. He is reportedly having issues with his Lloyd's of London insurance policy and was scheduled to be at the WWE Supershow house show at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weekend. It's unknown if he is finished with the company or just on a hiatus.

The word going around on Bret Hart is that he has indeed left WWE for the time being. His departure is in direct relation to his Lloyd's of London insurance policy and he reportedly didn't leave on bad terms. We should have more later.


I would've thought he'd be gone a couple months ago.

Why would PETA care to have WWE hire him back because of what he does and doesn't eat? I understand he has a diet they approve of, but it's not like he'd be cutting pro-vegan promos every night or something.

"Kids...eating meat is wrong, just like what Edge did last night at the Royal Rumble..."

"Why Kelly, you look good enough to eat...just like an organic salad bought locally in my hometown."

"Every night I come out here and drink up the adoration from the crowd, just like I drink my soy milk every morning..."


PETA, you're still a fuck up organization.

Edit: Ha, and I'm still a fuck up with tags.

You win this round PETA. You win this round. :squint:

Danielson's opponent for the Dragon Gate USA show has been announced to be Shingo. I was personally hoping for YAMATO, but I'm sure Danielson and Shingo will both tear it up, too.

Coincidentally, I was actually thinking about taking a bus to Philadelphia with a buddy or two of mine to see Danielson wrestle. If you decide to visit family, let me know. Maybe we can meet up or something. If I don't wind up going to the DGUSA show, then I definitely want to see Dragon wrestle for EVOLVE in New Jersey.

Shocker! MWF President John Cena Sr. has signed the superstar last seen on WWE Monday Night Raw joining fellow NXT stars putting his son on a stretcher! That's right, NXT Season 1 standout Daniel Bryan, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, will make his MWF debut at the BIG BANG BIRTHDAY BASH in September as we celebrate our 9th anniversary! Danielson is one of the finest professional wrestlers on the planet, however, why would Cena sign the man that tried to cripple his son?? A major announcement is still going to be made at NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS Saturday night, and it's not this one! Cena informed MWF officials of the signing tonight at 7:30PM out of the blue.

PWMania has spoken with several WWE wrestlers from both Raw and Smackdown, and we can confirm there has been definite locker room buzz over the report that Bret Hart has left WWE because of an insurance policy. Amidst speculation, one wrestler even said, "Bret pretty much had the choice of staying in WWE or losing his fiance."

As many of you know, Bret is getting married for the third time in the very near future, and it appeared getting back into the wrestling business put an enormous strain on his relationship.

PWMania has learned that the conspiracy theory making the rounds in the WWE locker room is that Bret didn't tell WWE Chairman Vince McMahon that he wouldn't be showing up for the pay per view until the very end of last week, and at that point WWE had already setup the "what would Bret do with the NXT group" cliffhanger for the PPV. I was told the NXT/Bret Hart was to be a show-long story line at Fatal Four Way,

One other wrestler said he and another wrestler actually had plans to meet with Bret at both Madison Square Garden and at the pay per view, and didn't know something was wrong until he heard Vince McMahon's comments at the opening of the pay per view, and at that point he knew something was wrong and this was not planned for the show.

To make matters even more confusing, Bret Hart was gently fired by Vince McMahon on Raw, which leaves the door open for him to come back. Whether that will happen or not is anyone's guess. The theory is that Vince went easy on Bret on the air just to move the story line forward into the last-second replacement angle, which is the mystery general manager.

It is speculated that Vince McMahon also didn't want to do the screaming "You're Fired!" gimmick because it would just keep focus on him and Bret, and by just breezing through the firing and moving on to the next part of the story, which is the mystery general manager, people would forget about Bret quickly. That theory turned out to be partially correct, as Raw scored its highest rating in several months on Monday, delivering a 3.5 Neilsen Household Average Rating.

It's been confirmed that Linda McMahon's Senate campaign is part of the reason why Bryan Danielson was released from his WWE contract for choking Justin Roberts with his necktie. One member of Linda's team contacted Vince McMahon himself and informed him about how it would affect the company's policy they put into affect following the drama back in 2007 involving Chris Benoit.

Vince sat down with Danielson on Friday June 11th to inform him he was being let go for the incident. He also reassured Danielson that "he'll be rehired after the election." Vince then informed Stephanie about the release, to which she informed the creative team and other WWE officials that he has been legitimately released from the company for said incident.

Danielson does have the traditional 90-day no-compete clause in his contract, which has a special key point where he's only allowed to work independent shows in which he is able to obtain/own the footage because WWE plans to use this footage for his eventual return. Believe it or not, Danielson is also allowed to work house shows only for TNA if the two could work some type of deal out, however the explanation behind this was not given.

WWE has already been planning Danielson's return to the company. There's already been talk under wraps as to how he will return, but it's been said that Danielson has been asked by WWE officials to shoot on WWE Champion John Cena & the entire WWE product, so when he returns, there will be instant heat on his character.

There were a lot of Daniel Bryan chants in Bridgeport, CT during RAW, but WWE's production team muffled them from showing up loudly on the broadcast.

So many Daniel Bryan chants at the Smackdown/NXT tapings in Manchester. A lot of people were into it.

According to wzr radio, they are saying that Danielson will be back at the 89 day of his 90 day clause. Vince didn't wanna fire him, and for this situation they won't hand Bryan to TNA.

If WWE is hoping it will turn him heel, that might be tough.

With all the demand for his return and a lot of fans that are annoyed with what happened, like myself, having him come back and trash WWE would make him the greatest face in the company. Standing up to "the man" and it's golden boy (Cena). I know that wouldn't make me want to boo him. :lol:

Anyways...

As always, we must have our daily update on the “Daniel Bryan Debacle”, so of course, we have some more information regarding the firing of Bryan Danielson from World Wrestling Entertainment.

According to Dave Meltzer, of The Wrestling Observer, besides the necktie choking incident involving WWE Ring Announcer Justin Roberts that many seem to point to as the ultimate deciding factor in his release, another incident may have played into the decision

Meltzer says that another incident that also possibly contributed to the release of Bryan Danielson was when he spat in the face of, then WWE Champion, John Cena.

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is said to hate when people spit in opposing people’s faces. Spitting is something that has been banned in World Wrestling Entertainment for many years, although we have seen many occasions in which a wrestler fake spit on someone, including McMahon himself, during the WrestleMania 26 build with Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

With that being said, it’s not believed that Bryan would spit on Cena without getting permission from management before hand.

The one who really deserves credit here however, is “The Chain Gang Soldier” for taking a “loogie” down the throat and keeping a straight face throughout the incident and still sticks up for him publicly on his Twitter account following Danielson’s termination.

Possibly because they realize if he has a little house show run with TNA it would both garner even more buzz around his name, create an even more valuable superstar for WWE, and kind of stick it to TNA all at the same time.

At least that's how I'm reading into it.

On a slightly related note to the second part of your post, I keep getting the feeling more and more that the WWE we're seeing more of now and saw in the early-mid 1990s is the WWE that Vince has always envisioned. "Family friendly" (debatable at times), pretty corny comedy, really tame/light wrestling for the most part, etc. I'm starting to believe more and more that the Attitude Era had more to do with Vince Russo, Paul Heyman, and Eric Bischoff than it had to do with Vince. He just took the ball and ran with it until the race was won and long done and he could return back to the way he likes things.

“WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors.”

Posted by WWE.com

Since this statement was released I’ve been bombarded with messages asking me if it’s real, and by now I’m sure that most people know that it is.

WWE is very serious about adhering to their PG guidelines, and apparently my actions during the NXT attack on John Cena, namely choking announcer Justin Roberts with his tie and spitting in Cena’s face, crossed the boundaries of what is considered “PG.” Perhaps the choking was too violent or perhaps the spit was too demeaning. I apologized for both immediately following the incident; but I would be a hypocrite if I apologized for putting everything I have into the attack. I would much rather have gone too far than to come up too short.

As with anyone who gets fired from their job, especially when they feel its unjust, I am angry. Very angry. But I can’t fault WWE for how they handled my release. My contract contained a 90 day no-compete clause in the event I was let go, yet the WWE has graciously allowed me start wrestling again on any show that’s not taped for television or pay per view.

So with the negatives there also come positives. Before I got signed by WWE last October, I worked hard to bring new fans to independent wrestling. But with most of us having little national exposure the only thing we could do was wrestle our hearts out and hope for word of mouth. Now that I’ve appeared on WWE television in front of millions of new fans, things are different. My goal is to garner as much interest in independent wrestling over the next 90 days as I possibly can. I hope that some of the people who enjoyed watching me wrestle on TV will give independent companies such as Evolve, Dragon Gate USA and Ring of Honor a chance. I think most of you would enjoy the intimacy between the fans and the wrestlers and the intensity of the action; if you ask the fans who went to the Chikara or AIW shows I was on this weekend, I’m sure 99% of them had a great time. So if you’ve never been to an independent show, go ahead and dip your toes in... you might find that the water is pretty nice.

As far as what happens after 90 days, nobody knows. I’ve “heard” that TNA is interested. There are petitions going around to get me back into WWE and the last several weeks there have been fans chanting my names at their shows. People have even brought signs showing their support. And though most of the signs get taken away and though WWE may not be listening to your chants or petitions, I truly appreciate all the support over the last several weeks. It is both overwhelming and heartwarming. But regardless of what offers come in, I am in no rush to make any rash decisions. I enjoy my freedom as much as I enjoyed the benefits offered by being in WWE. My future, as usual, is uncertain. But I am enjoying my return to the independents. I’m hoping to see some of you there.

So he cannot work for ROH then? Or can he work for the company but not take part in any of the taping for HDnet? I still think it's a work, but if it isn't then he did a good job of saying he was angry about his release without burning any bridges. Some wrestlers will go off on a company that fires them and all but guarantee that they won't be rehired. I don't see anything in that message that should offend anyone at WWE Headquarters.

BTW, is it still called Titan Towers or is it just WWE Headquarters?

What will it take for you to not believe it's a work? WWE to just not rehire him and he goes elsewhere, like TNA? :lol:

WWE isn't smart enough to make a work this good. I fully believe what we have been told is the truth: Danielson was fired because of something shady (exactly what doesn't matter and is the only iffy part), WWE is letting him work to keep him relevant while they bide their time, then when they feel they can bring him back in he'll be re-hired.

If WWE was actually masterminding some grand work, I honestly don't think they would have the self-control not to promote it more in some way in WWE rather than practically give Daniel Bryan the "Chris Benoit: Now You See Him/Now You Don't" treatment.

If he shows up on TNA TV (not a house show or a dark match since he's already said he can work for a company as long as it's not for a televised or PPV match/segment), then I'll believe it. Or if the Nexus angle dies off (and without Wade Barrett as leader, I think it might) and he's not back, then I might believe it. But with this anonymous GM position clearly on the side of the Nexus, then I think the storyline has really just started. He's going to come back and cost Wade Barrett the WWE Title whenever Wade finally cashes in that title show that he won by winning NXT.
