Daniel Bryan Released *GIVE OPINIONS*

monday nights ending is what I've been waiting for for year, and because of Danielson's release I'll never watch anything to do with WWE/F again unless it's the good old days on youtube. Why cater to the kids, it's the adults that pay for this programing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I doubt the Twitter account is real... as we know, anyone can make a Twitter account and WWE have no say in who uses "wwe" as part of their name on a site they have no control over. This tweet for example "No one from NXT season 1 will be signed in WWE! They all lost, they are just bitter losers" considering the tweet was about an hour ago.

Also, absolutely no one associated with WWE is following him.


Another thing... the people saying about its not being reported on WWE corporate, and Carlito's was. Carlito's was a wellness issue, which is why its on corporate too (with all the other wellness information) notice Kennedy's release isn't on there?


Whether it's fake or not, it makes it interesting as this person seems to have a lot of info regarding the WWE. If this is the real Michael Cole, then it adds a lot to the storyline of what is going on with the NXT angle. That's what I'm saying...
 
I could care less Randy Orton is the only good thing going for them that all ages can go for. Why does everything have to be so politically correct now....good God i miss the 90s.
 
Something else to think about. I don't think HHH would have someone fired right off the bat especially when they were trained by his best friend. HBK put a lot into training Danielson and I feel like HHH would have him taken off tv for a little bit or something instead of just firing him right off the bat. I think he has too much respect for Michaels.
 
Everyone seems to be reporting it is a legtimate release.. But what I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND is why he tweeted

Just changed my twitter name to Bryan Danielson. The winds of change are stirring.

An hour and a half before his release was posted on the WWE website?

I can understand them offically letting him know about it at the same time, or maybe calling him saturday morning but nobody else seems to be tweeting to move the story line along and you would think he would at least be AWARE of enough backstage heat on him that he may be released.. Why would he plug the next invasion if he thought he might not be with the company tommorow?

Not to mention it states

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.
implying they at least contacted or talked to Bryan dainelson and his agent before posting that...


I don't know i guess he might just be that good of a guy, but if I knew I was being let go I sure as hell wouldn't be doing anything that might help hype/promote the guys who just canned me, especially for such a ridiculous reason.
 
Both the Cole Twitter and the HHH story are fakes. Why would Trippy be at a Smackdown taping when he's off to shoot a movie? Why would it matter whether it upset his FOUR YEAR OLD children? They're four-years-old! They cry at everything! And why would Danielson, a well-known class act and professional, spit on a woman? If Danielson got fired on a Tuesday, he wouldn't go to work at a house show on a Wednesday. Especially since that house show furthered the nXTWo storyline.

Oh, and the Cole Twitter is an obvious fake. No one from WWE is following him, and his Twitter doesn't follow their template.

Also, Bryan's profile is still on the WWE website. To see it, go to the NXT section and click on the box on the page that says "Season 1". Look at the Rookies and Pros. Notice something? That's right; Daniel's profile is there, but Carlito's has mysteriously vanished.

There is still speculation as to whether or not this is a work. What shouldn't be questioned is whether the Triple H story and Cole twitter are real. They're not.
 
Well, it seems at the moment that the whole thing is legit.

The reasoning behind his release leads me to believe its a work. You cannot punish one man for 'choking' a ring announcer with a tie for goodness sake. Daniel Bryan along with seven other men were booked to do what they did. You cannot say that an 8-on-1 gang attack of Cena is PG but then 'choking' a ring announcer is against the rules. Its ridiculous.

If the WWE have released Bryan then I think they are making a huge mistake. Bryan and Barrett are what makes the NXT faction interesting. Now while I like Barrett and believe he is on his way to greatness, Daniel Bryan was equally as entertaining and it really was a stupid idea to single him out.

I initially thought it was because he screamed at Cena 'You think your better than me?' but this excuse, if that is what it is is just pathetic and either ROH or TNA are going to pick up another excellent talent that has been in the mainstream TV limelight.

If its true, WWE dropped the ball here, BIG TIME!
 
There's nothing that hasn't been said already, except for a lame pun on the situation, so here goes:

Let's face it, guys. When Bryan Danielson finally made it to the big time, he choked. *rimshot*

Anyways, as much as I would love for it to be a work, my gut tells me that it's legit, and it's directly related to Linda's campaign. Like what's been said before, though, we haven't seen the last of Bryan Danielson. He'll be back at some point once the campaign is over, if he's willing to return. There's no way that the WWE isn't aware of the huge internet backlash. It just shows how over he really is, and has the potential of being.

Oh, also that alleged HHH story and Michael Cole's Twitter both seem way fake.
 
I can't believe that WWE has come to this, where choking someone with a tie is "too violent." :wtf:

This is the same company that had shown people having sex with corpses, matches with more blood spilled than a Mortal Kombat game, and people getting thrown off 20ft high cages onto a table. The wrestling I grew up with is truly dead. :wtf:
 
Wow reading all these replies will make you tired. Work or not, it will still be seen as dumb. I believe that it is legit because Vince doesn't really care about wrestlers like Bryan Danielson. Look at other wrestlers the IWC thinks should get a push. Christian is a prime example. He goes from fighting Edge on Raw to teaming with Hornswaggle??? He has been one of the most over wrestlers in both TNA and WWE but has never won World Heavyweight Gold in WWE because of hatred that Vince has. And the silly thing is that he can wrestle and put on a good show with the best of them. The WWE has lost a lot of momentum if the story is true because just like Season 2 of NXT, you have 3 potential stars. 1st season was Danielson, Barrett and Otunga (though his wrestling is bad). Season 2 is Riley, Kaval, and McGillicutty (Henning). I feel that they are dropping the ball big time if this is true. Ok, he choked an announcer with his tie, its not PG. WOWWWWWW!!! What about other things that go on in the WWE right now that's not PG:

Calling women fat.
Calling women cougars on TV.
Using tables.
Using steel chairs.
Cena choking Umaga with the ring ropes
Ladder matches
Divas with small outfits (which I like to see)
Batista trying to run over Cena with a car.
and so much more.

So why try to make an example of Danielson. This is what I don't understand about the logic of the WWE. You get rid of stars like Benjamin and Kennedy (one of the worst future endeavors I have ever seen) because of what? Kennedy almost hurts Orton. He hurt his own self for god sakes. Hopefully it is a work, because he was never technically on the FCW roster anyway, but from what I understand it about a 10% chance it is a work. Hope for the best because TNA sure wouldn't use him right. Look at Nigel (SMH).
 
Just found this:

ProWrestlingScoops.com

-- WWE has trademarked the term "The Network." No news on what it could be for, so speculate away.

Anyone think this may lead into a storyline:

- Network come in - enforcing the PG policy - say they fired DBD...
lead it on from there

Would be an interesting opponent for the NXT faction - lead by Abraham Washington maybe...
 
wwe is so stupid. nothing wrong with what he did. wwe has done worse. and if kids try it then, its the parents fault for not telling them the difference between right and wrong. and they say too violent, since when has wwe not been violent, show put cena thru a spotlight. that's not too violent??? I dont see how anyone can agree with wwe on this one

No. The Network is what they're going to call their TV Network when they get their own channel.
And as for the NXT faction being led by Abe. Are you serious? He would ruin their momentum and try and make a joke out of everything, whereas one can clearly see how serious Barrett is in his promos and in-ring work.
 
It would be interesting if "The Network" name would be used in the gimmik. Although I have to wonder...will Don Calis be used again to head up the "network"? No?......Ok well anyway. It would be intertesting.

Anyway I am still on the fence with this. One minute I think and believe it's fake and a work on the WWE's part and the next I am starting to believe it could be real. Either way WWE got people talking whether it be good or bad.

Ok - I'll concede the Network point.

By Abe - I meant the bloke from "The Network" - a la ECW - not the nXt faction leader. They've got Barrett - they don't need anyone else.

Just thought it may be a way (and we've had a fair few in this thread already) that the DBD release could be a work.
 
Interestingly i just went to WWE.com to re-watch the video from the end of raw...but it's nowhere to be seen...work or no work it seems they really are taking this seriously
 
Now I know all the reports (including this sites) are saying that the firing is legitmate, and he is done with the WWE, but I can see how it plays into a possiblity of where the WWE wants the NXT invasion angle to go.

The NWO was big because people liked them, you heard NWO cheers, and a good amount of people enjoyed watching them.

The WWE biggest problem as of late is the fact they are alienating there young adult male demograpic that they thrived on in the past. For what seems like forever they have been trying to push Hornswoggle, Cena, ect. (things loved by there newer target audience , children) as babyfaces, and get them over with everyone. this has obviously failed, Sure Cena is WAY over, people love him, but a LARGE amount of people hate the guy. They claim super-cena and there is enough of a anti-cena setiment that they actually had to ackowledge him as a "contreversial chapmion".

Instead of trying to please everybody, and force the same good guys on everybody, what if they are setting this up as more of a tweener type feud.
What I mean by that is what if, and this is a big IF , they are purposely doing everything in there might to get the NXT faction over as heels to the kids, but Faces to the young adult demographic. They know Bryan Dainelson is pretty much WORSHIPED in the IWC. He was just fired for what seems to be "backstage politics". Something the IWC absoultely HATES.

Bryan Dainelson was tweeting IN CHARCTER quoting wade barrett roughly an Hour before his release was posted on the WWE website.. It's also pretty easy to leak false information ON PURPOSE to the internet following the supposed release. Now dealing with the IWC means that it has to look legit, it can't be some on-screen firing. They have to have a reason for it. But when you really look at it it makes no sense for them to fire a guy like this. Not even a week ago he was the "perfect" backstage guy. Everyone from Cena to VKM himself were talking about how good he was.

The point of this is, the WWE has messed up alot, but they have never released somebody this way, with so little reason. There are almost always some sort of backstage heat, or the guy sees no tv time. This is a guy they centered there ENTIRE FIRST SEASON of there newly premiered show around. It makes so little sense to make him the scapegoat. If they wanted a scapegoat for shareholders you would think somebody in the creative department would be un-fairly blamed and sent packing, not somebody they have invested so much time and money into, plain and simple its not smart buisness.

What if the WWE is flat out giving up trying to please both sides, instead they just are going to pit them against each other.. Super Cena and the Kiddies vs NXT Future invasion and the IWC.. Business wise its the perfect way to appeal to both demographics on the same show, and the Bryan Danielson Firing has made him a Martyr on the internet, who wouldn't mark the hell out now to see him back on Monday night? He definatly would get one hell of a pop!

It just seems to perfect, the IWC darling was just released due to Bullshit backstage politics, the thing the IWC despise's the most.

EDIT: Also on the NXT season 2 premire the season 2 rookies were "beat down" by the WWE superstars in a very heel like fashion. NXT isn't generally watched by anything but more "hardcore" wwe fans, its viewership tends to be more of a young adult fanbase rather then a kids fanbase, thats why the show markets itself more to the IWC then Raw or Smackdown do.
 
Now I just before people come to bash this thread and claim he is released because of all the evidence around the internet. The link that was previously available to all of the internet public stating his release last night is no longer available. Also all of Daniel Bryan profile on WWE.com is still present and they have taken down the statement that he was fired. Another article on his released was posted here.

http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/15764

Now, with Carlito being fired it was on the main site and then moved to the inside wwe site. All of Carlito properties where removed. In this case, all of Bryan's properties all still there. Also, WWE is aware that while that scene was violent (not the most violent besides blood) if was not his fault for the camera angle and it was okay'd by the cameramen and production that was working on monday night RAW.

Now that I have said my piece, I wouldnt be shocked if the nXt group on Monday mentions Danielson and says that WWE has struck and thinks firing one member for the time being will stop them. They can also say that they cant fire someone who is not contracted. While this has caused the internet to blow up, think about it. Whens the last time WWE told us someone was fired and then people doubted it? Does that make sense? If WWE said John Cena was fired? We would be doing the samething. When someone is fired, it is a headline on the main site. But if he really is fired, does that mean the invasion is auto fail? You decided
 
Reading up on this article that was posted by Truemike mention's a "No Strangulation Policy" put in place after the suicide of Chris Beniot. Isn't that a little off base because of finishers like Dolph Zigglers Sleeper Hold, or for that matter any type of choke hold?

But my opinion about the "release" of Daniel Bryan is that it is a work job. I mean there is no real reason why. The best one I have is because a rookie crossed the PG threshold, and that raised the point what really is consider PG (like seriously I don't know)?

If this is real, and I was Bryan I would consider at least looking in some sort of legal action against the WWE. If he was fired for crossing the threshold than he could say that it is unjust firing. That is just my opinion though.
 
His stuff could still be up because whoever manages the WWE website is lazy and puttin back a few beers.

Whether or not this is a work won't be decided for awhile, unless they bring him up on Monday, if everyone acts like he never existed, then that could be a bad thing.

No one knows for sure, so your thread fails.

sorry
 
Hey everyone, its been a while since I have written a blog on here. I've been busy for the most part and haven't had the time. However, I felt I needed to make this blog to vent out some anger I've had over the past day. So here we go:

As we all have heard, Daniel Bryan aka Brian Danielson was released from WWE on June 11th under strange circumstances. Now many people including myself, when I first heard of this I thought it was a work as part of the invasion storyline WWE did this past monday on Raw. Little did I come to realize soon after that the firing was legit, and it was due to the fact from what the Internet Wrestling sites are reporting that someone who will probably not be named, went to WWE management and said that what Daniel Bryan did, by choking Justin Roberts with his tie this past week was "too violent for kids to watch, and thought kids might attempt to do the same thing." Apparently right after this person told WWE management this, Bryan was released and put on the future endeavored list.

First off, according to WWE storylines, these rookies beside Wade Barrett supposedly dont have contracts, so your breaking kayfabe right there by announcing it on your site that he has been released from his contract. But thats not the main issue here.
Wrestling in itself is violent. Punches are violent, everything is violent in wrestling. You cant have it both ways, you can either be violent, or not be violent. Which would make wrestling more boring then it has been if you can imagine that. There is no 50/50 here. I guess after the whole Chris Beniot thing in 2007 WWE decided that any type of strangling is banned, which is news to me, because I had never heard of it until now. Good Lord, give me a break, its been 3 years already WWE, stop trying to blame everything on Chris Beniot, people for the most part have forgotten it, it seems the only ones who haven't is you. I can understand how things were when the media jumped all over them after these murders took place, but I dont think the media is playing the "gotcha game" anymore on WWE as far as Chris Beniot goes. Its over and done with, move on!!

Another point I wanted to get to, is the chocking that Bryan did was shown on TV. If WWE doesn't want someone to be seen choking someone, then move the camera away, instead the camera zoomed in so everyone saw Bryan choking Roberts. When did this backlash happen all of a sudden on Daniel Bryan about him chocking Justin Roberts. I didn't hear anything from fans or officals complaining about it. So why all of a sudden does one persons stupid opinion get someone to lose their job? And that one person certainly wasn't Vince because he was thrilled with this angle. I guess it just goes to show hoe easily manipulated the old man is nowadays. Point of this paragraph is blame your cameraman for even showing it.

Finally, if Bryan did choke Roberts because he was doing what the creative team was telling him, then fire your creative team, not the person who is just doing his job to make it look realistic. I highly doubt the creative team just said., "Go out there and create caos and attack everything and well see how it goes." No, Im sure they went over what they wanted each of the 8 rookies to do, INCLUDING THE JUSTIN ROBERTS CHOKING! So there again, another part of the blame lies on your creative team for telling someone to do something that was "not PG."

It seems suspensions aren't in place either when breaking a rule, I guess people are just fired from 1 strike. From what I've heard WWE does want to hire Daniel back after things "cool down." I hope thats the case and if they do hire him back they need to apologize. Its been a long time since I've heard of anyone fired over something so stupid and insignificant. WWE have become very paranoid these past couple years to the point that they are blaming talent for their own problems. This is what WWE has come to under the PG era, and its scary to see where they will be a couple years from now.
 
I think im going back on the side of the fence that this is BS....last time WWE was pressured by a outside source like this it was with UPN during the Muhammad Hassan incident which was 100 times more serious then this, and if ppl dont remember hassan was never fired he was simply sent back down to the developmental league, b4 Hassan decided to quit and pursue a career in acting.....now granted that WWE was not under the "PG" Era it was still a much more serious case than this is, and hassan just had his character killed off as opposed to being "fired"
 
I believe they just sent him off TV for a while for choking Justin Roberts... Which wasn't a part of the plan that Vince had. But if he is gone for good WWE dropped the ball big time.:banghead: BD ftw:worship:
 
Now I just before people come to bash this thread and claim he is released because of all the evidence around the internet. The link that was previously available to all of the internet public stating his release last night is no longer available.

*sigh*
PEOPLE, PLEASE STOP TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASSES

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/14734694

Also all of Daniel Bryan profile on WWE.com is still present and they have taken down the statement that he was fired. Another article on his released was posted here.

http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/15764

Again.

Now, with Carlito being fired it was on the main site and then moved to the inside wwe site. All of Carlito properties where removed. In this case, all of Bryan's properties all still there. Also, WWE is aware that while that scene was violent (not the most violent besides blood) if was not his fault for the camera angle and it was okay'd by the cameramen and production that was working on monday night RAW.

When Carlito was fired, it was because of drugs and rehab issues, and they made a scene as such to look good for stockholders, as well as potential voters for Linda. It was posted on the Corporate WWE website, while other firings were not. When Anderson was fired, they also mentioned his real name, and also had images and pages of him on the website for a short amount of time.

Now that I have said my piece, I wouldnt be shocked if the nXt group on Monday mentions Danielson and says that WWE has struck and thinks firing one member for the time being will stop them. They can also say that they cant fire someone who is not contracted. While this has caused the internet to blow up, think about it. Whens the last time WWE told us someone was fired and then people doubted it? Does that make sense? If WWE said John Cena was fired? We would be doing the samething. When someone is fired, it is a headline on the main site. But if he really is fired, does that mean the invasion is auto fail? You decided

Yeah, I don't know what this is supposed to mean. It's kinda all over the place.
 
People still being dumb. I don't know who playing you best. WWE with one lousy article that is most probably fake, or Dave Meltzer making shit up as he takes a shit. I suppose the next reason is because after a drug test they found out Bryan had a third testicle and is no longer cleared to compete. Lets look at these "stories", shall we?

1) Choking Justin Roberts Was Against The Rules:


Then why did Justin Roberts, a long time employee allow Danielson to choke him, if its illegal? Also, fired on the first screw up? The man has been pushed to the moon for 4 months and it abruptly ends because he forgot one rule. Something that sudden will not happen without warning. You can argue that it happened to Mr. Kennedy, but he injured himself twice, John Cena and Shawn Michaels before injuring himself again and Orton. His release was pending for well over a year. Its also said that it was too graphic. Really now? But throwing a man off the top of a car and through a metal floor isn't? Trying to crush a man with a car isn't too graphic? How about battering a mans ribs with 16 kendo stick shots to the chest? That's not graphic or imitable, right?

2) Triple H Didn't Like It:


This one's even stupider. The man who ran over Steve Austin, invaded Randy Orton's home, battered Shawn Michaels within an inch of his life and had sex with a dead body didn't approve of a man choking a ring announcer. That very same man being the heir to the WWE. His kids cried. They didn't cry when Sheamus beat the crap out of him a few months ago, right? Or when mommy was beaten and then kissed by another man? Was it that hard for him (and Steph) to change the channel and tell them its fake? That's what my mom did when the Power Rangers lost their powers. If this is true, I'd love to visit Triple H's house. Just to see the "No Orton's Allowed" sign in his front porch. Why would he jeopardize a company he will soon own because of something his kid's shouldn't even be watching? Why would Vince himself jeopardize his company because of his son-in-law ******ed fathering?

3) Danielson Was Scolded And Then Spat Eve

This one has more holes than Spongebob. If Danielson was that upset over something that stupid, why would he spit at a person who #1 shouldn't even be there (Eve is from Raw) #2 Had nothing to do with it. What? Did he suddenly develop "I'm An Asshole" Syndrome? Or did he catch Orton's IED?

4) The Release Story

Kids go to WWE.com too, you know. That "Kids" section isn't there for the smarks to laugh at. Remember Jeff Hardy and the "attack" at his hotel room? Or the "FBI" updates on Mr. McMahons "death"? How about The Undertaker being fired by Vickie Guerrero? His Wikipedia page was even claiming that he jumped to TNA because his profile was removed.

5) He Asked For It


Its the only reason. He asked to be let go. Maybe he didn't like the schedule or maybe he had a different idea. Even so, why would it be so immediate? You can't just say "I wan't out" and *poof* "goodbye". He was given a slot on Monday to destroy and demean the face of WWE as he's walking out. Either creative was drunk that nite or its something else. Further more, if I remember correctly, last time John Cena got beaten and insulted and left a destroyed heap... Didn't we crown a new WWE Champion? Right, Sheamus?

If he really did leave, so be it. Its his life. Come on over to TNA. After that kind of exposure, no way in hell that he'll get the "Desmond Wolfe" treatment. Angle/Danielso at BFG.



One last detail.

Evan Bourne's Push:

A John Cena warranted push. Why? Because since WWE was talking about giving pushes to Danielson and Kaval, he wanted people to get used to the idea of smaller guys being potential main event players. Either he has facepalmed himself into total obscurity of the situation or the opinion of the face of the WWE, the very same face receiving the beat down, doesn't matter. He has others in mind. He's not just gonna keep his mouth shut after looking like an idiot for helping him out. He also has a Twitter account. Has it been updated?
