It was directed at posts which say something along the lines of "Omgzz WWE will be so sorry when TNA sign him and hurt the WWE!"
I think you're putting way too much focus on this. Thats fine.
I noticed you say something in your opening statement, and it reflected something of my post - I didn't think you'd target
anyONE individual - but thankfully there's no rule against who I can, and can't debate on any given subject. So I replied.
Not necessarily putting them out of business - just damaging ratings to a point where the WWE really feel something is wrong and needs doing, with the 'possiblity' of them going out of business. (Of course, I don't ctually believe THAT is possible, but them thinking of it as a consequence would be something I define as hurting the WWE).
Again, I'll even agree to saying what is just me repeating what I've already said. I can not believe ANY Company would get close enough to putting the WWE out of business, or even coming close to damaging them.
Is it possible for a show to steal ratings? Yes, absolutely. Will that cause them to believe they lost something they had? Well, I'm sure it will if the result of the ratings shift comes off a guy they had - and let go.
It's not like Danielson is the ONLY str though, if he actually has left - he hasn't stood out on NXT as being the best, esspecilly with all this hype surrounding him.
I get that you're viewing this from an NXT only focus-point. But Bryan Danielson, you know the name you keep using, is a far bigger star than the entire NXT show. You keep going on about how he hasn't "stood out" from any of the rest of the rookies.. but, uhm, Becca..
HE HAS.
And even in comparing him to the other rookies. He took Batista, Chris Jericho & other "Pro's" to their limit. When the rest of the group was just screwing around with each other, and the mid-card Pros from that show. He has defeated the sole guy he had a feud with. (Miz) He lead his entire team to a victory in a *whatever man* tag match.
SO, yeah, he kinda has made some type of stand-out point. And you know, besides all that - he's been IN THE BUSINESS for over a decade. And not for nothing, it all began with him training partly under the guy you wet yourself over on a nightly basis. I'm kinda shocked you didn't point that out any sooner.
Wow. I finally understand how you have long replies to everything - you take things completely out of context, THEN completely misinterpret them, throw in a few stupid comments, and bang, we have a Will post. My POINT had nothing to do with MY friends, it's exactly as I said earlier - those who don't watch anything other than WWE (Maybe TNA) and don't read wrestling news on the internet aren't as 'in love' with him as half this forum is, thus, if he DID go to TNA it wouldn't be a huge deal.
*sigh* You're being naive, you think you're funny. In truth, you're being laughed at.. .. a lot.
You mentioned friends of yours who weren't members of this forum (or any wrestling forum) who purely watch wrestling on tv ONLY. Indicating, they don't know the "inside works" they just know what they see.
Well, duh, then he wouldn't be someone "known" because ROH (until this year) never had a national television deal. But thankfully, your friends aren't the only people who watch this "sport" and know of him.
So, as much as I respect your friend's opinions to not think he's "anything special".. unfortunately, just because they think that way - doesn't mean the majority of the group feels the same. Again, you know, the thousands and
millions of internet wrestling fans - that KNOW of Danielson and enjoy him very much so.
Is that clear enough for you, or did I mention something about Hannah Montana moving to Iowa and having sex with your boss?
Oh, is this what we're doing now? Randomly coming up with slap-stick humor and back-talking, flaming, stupid comments that have nothing to do with the thread?
Is this where I should make some witty comeback remark about how you should stick to what you know, and just post 'xxx' pictures of yourself since thats the only way people are ever gonna give you the attention you feel you deserve? Are we done with the stupidity, or would you like to add anything else that just continues to make you look foolish and silly?
To be honest, Danielson isn't that great anyway, but, this is kind of my point - if those people haven't seen anything more than his NXT performances, which were solid but nothing amazing, very few people are going to jump ship to TNA if he goes there, and I very very much doubt he's the next Austin/Hogan, with the power to actually draw large amounts of people away from the WWE.
The thing is though, one of the loudest "pops" that was heard for any NXT member - was during the Danielson/Jericho and Danielson/Batista matches. So, again, he's kinda bigger than what you want to admit.
As for people jumping ship to TNA, a lot of people are already watching both. So no, I doubt a huge flux in ratings is going to shift because of Danielson. But the point I was making, that you continue to un-smoothly try to avoid - is that Danielson could be a big potential future star.
And while WWE wants to rest hope on the likes of Morrison, Miz, Rhodes & Dibase.. TNA could have Danielson, and the same pops (if not bigger) that helped him to out-shine the rest of the NXT talent. (and some current Pros)
Oh, as for the drawing power.. yeah, I never said he'd come to that point of being like Austin or Hogan. Now who's trying to put words in who's mouth? Not to mention, misunderstanding everything and trying to turn things around.
Millions? I think that's taking it a bit far. Danielson is talented but overrated here. I never said the WWE weren't LOSING something, it's just not a big deal, and nothing that will ever hurt them, or cause problems.
Becca, look around. KB posted an ad to JOIN this forum a few pages back, all because this very subject has caused massive waves of conversation and debate. The very same amounts of people flocking to discuss this issue - are watching WWE and wondering what will happen, with Danielson, next.
Contrary to whatever
YOU have come to believe, its because people are in awe and unsure what to think, if Danielson is truly gone. (Which I still highly doubt)
So, yeah, he kinda does have a huge fan base the likes of which you seem to be unwilling to believe in.
ON an ending note - you sly minx you, I almost missed this post. Which I'm sure you hoped I would.

Buried among the tons of randomness of this thread. I can only come to believe you'll be happy to know, I replied.
