Daniel Bryan Released *GIVE OPINIONS*

[Bigmac1892]

Okay, I may be wrong but I thought that on Wednesday Wade Barrett was on the Raw Roster on WWE.Com

Now he isn't on Raw or anywhere even mentioned from what I see.

So, I'm guessing that this is just a work.
And If they do have a Wade Barrett getting released, you can know that this is just pure storyline.

I hope they bring Daniel Bryan back as Bryan Danielson, but who knows. He could pull a Miz. With the contract match Miz wrestled last year during his Cena feud.

 

[alistahr]

this is fucking ******ed... even if this is a work, "daniel bryan" never had a contract so how can he be released?
another unnecessary move on this plothole fest of angle

 

[Total Impact]

I hope it's fake, but remember the WWE is the company that fired Shelton Benjamin, so it could be real. However the WWE has used WWE.com to fire a wrestler that turned out to be fake. When Matt Hardy came back to the WWE, he did a losers leave RAW angle with Edge and the storyline played out on WWE.com. Hell even Vince being blown up in the limo was played out on WWE like a real death. I hope it's a work, but why would only Danielson be the only one mentioned if it's a work?

 

[Bigmac1892]

I'm just wondering now, since when has Daniel Bryan been a actual WWE superstar, I thought only Barrett got a contract.

And if you look, Danielson was released 1 hour ago, he said he was changing his name 3 hours ago, which is odd because if they had released Bryan, before his "name change" would they have still mentioned Bryan Danielson's name in the release.

This means to me, the Bryan will say, I was never under contract, so you cant fire me or something to that effect.

 

[WWE Manster03]

Dave Metzler reported earlier today that it is a work. He changed his Twitter name to BryanDanielson before the news broke earlier..They started this in motion when he said Daniel Bryan was done in WWE but we hadn't seen Bryan Danielson yet. This is just part of the angle that is going to continue on monday.

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

If this is a work, it's great. I mean, technically speaking, Wade Barrett is the only rookie with an actual contract to wrestle in the WWE, but if they go one step further and "faux-release" all of the rookies, then the angle becomes that much better. When they start invading shows, they can't be governed by the laws of WWE Superstars. They can't be suspended or fired. They'll run roughshod over the WWE until everyone is forced to accept them as the best. gives them the whole outlaw feel. That is unless it's real, and that piece of garbage Heath Slater gets to stay in the angle and Danielson is booted. You would think they'd fake-fire all the other rookies too wouldn't you?

If it's legit, then I'll be quite upset. Not for Danielson mind you, but rather that they just wasted months and months of Cole's precious heat that could have been used on someone better. I was just as upet when they wasted The Boogeyman.

 

[legenddkiller]

This makes little to no sense to me. If WWE planned to repackage him as DB wouldn't it have been easier to do so on TV? Plus, a few weeks back I read an article that WWE had trademark the name "Daniel Bryan". So was it just to fire DB in order to let BD come back and "fight for a contract" against another wrestler on RAW? NXT rookies just completed destroyed Cena and the set so to think WWE would switch him before the storyline ended is odd if its really kayfabe. Ultimately, I hope its a part of the storyline for invading RAW, if not its a huge loss for WWE, and would look forward to seeing him on TNA.

 

[JBK2008]

If Daniel Bryan is indeed released, Vince and the rest of the WWE are a bunch of damn fools. You want to make the product more based towards smaller guys who can actually wrestle and not roided up fools, yet you release perhaps one of the best technicians in the industry? I hope to God it's a work because this guy has most if not all the momentum from the first season of NXT rookies.

 

[Dr. Stinger A. Zoidberg]

Ok, now I know it's a work because they took down the story on WWE.com. Either now, theyre going to play it off to the IWC on Raw, or just drop it all together. Either way, it seems to me now, that this is definitely a work, it's fake, and he is not released. This could be a case of the WWE fucking with the Members of the IWC again.

 

[Mark0820]

This has to be a work. There's no way in hell they'd release him in the middle of this angle. Also, all the NXT rookies were employees of WWE and could be released. The winner of NXT got a title match on a PPV, not a WWE contract since they already are under contract.

 

[Sean Valjean]

This has to be a work. As legitimate as the release looks (I just looked up the official release on WWE.com), it just has to be fake.

After what happened on Raw, it'd make sense for the WWE to release some or all of those involved excluding Barrett, who probably has some form of immunity thanks to his NXT win. Remember, NXT is reality-based so it wouldn't surprise me if the WWE posted an official release to make it look legitimate and to fuck with the IWC. We could see the other rookies get released in the coming days, unless Bryan is made to be the scapegoat or something. Bryan could be gone for a few weeks, come back under his real name, and go from there.

However, if it IS real, then FUCK. The only reason for this is that Danielson pissed someone off backstage or something as I highly doubt he'd fail a drug test.

What scares me is that a big reason that this could be real is that, kayfabe, Danielson was never actually employed. He was eliminated from NXT and thus didn't have a contract from the company. From a storyline perspective, it'd make no sense to release a guy who technically never had a contract to begin with. I know the WWE doesn't always apply logic to their storylines, but you never know.

I don't know what to think. Right now, we're at the mercy of the WWE. If this is fake, they're doing a damn good job of making it seem real. They've got us by the balls and we're just going to have to wait in fear and anticipation to see if it is or not. I just hope it isn't.

Are you sure? I still see the story posted in the news tab on the website, and I've reloaded the page several times. I still think it's a work, but they haven't taken the story down yet.

 

[The Jabroni]

I think it's a work. The WWE knows their fans, to an extent. And they know that Danielson is an internet sensation, so what better way is there to misinform and mislead fans for plot purposes than to use the internet? They're most likely going to present him as Bryan Danielson soon. This "release" might just be to get rid of Daniel Bryan. There are a few hints:

1. The Twitter Name- If he really was released, he would make a personal twitter as opposed to changing the name on his NXT twitter. And why would he say what he said about the "winds of change" if there wasn't a major change coming?

2. The Interview- In the post-NXT interview, he mentioned how Daniel Bryan is done, but Bryan Danielson's still got a chance.

3. The Beatdown- Why would the WWE release someone who's so important in one of their most intense storylines ever? They wouldn't.

They're most likely intentionally misleading the fans so they don't expect his return as Bryan Danielson.

another unnecessary move on this plothole fest of angle

Ok, well technically you're wrong. See, they were vying for a contract to the MAIN roster. Technically, every rookie IS under contract to the WWE, they just have developmental contracts. So, he did have a contract and can be released from it.

As far as Bryan, I can't believe that they would release him after all the work they put in. He was eliminated early, but never left and was the most talked about NXT rookie the whole time. ............thing is, the fact that it is in WWE News makes it really hard to see it as fake. If WWE wanted to make a storyline out of it, wouldn't they use the main page that everyone can look at? And if you didn't see a date or you think it leads to a name change you need to look a little closer. here is the exact article:

"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."

 

[naimliss]

1 up for TNA if it's true! I think it's all kayfabe to build on the current storyline, the funny thing is he was never signed to an actual deal so the wwe.com post is bullshit!!! It's a work and if not, best believe TNA will capitalize! WWE signed danielson and buried him as a rookie while TNA signed Wolfe and immediately pushed him as a top contender so if WWE really did release him.....score 1 more for the bad guys, fuck the E, I watch it because TNA ain't on! YODEL

 

[Mitch Henessey]

This.....this can't be real. Why in the hell would WWE just drop Danielson in the middle of a huge storyline/feud with Michael Cole? It just doesn't make sense to me. Even if Danielson pissed off a big name backstage, that shouldn't be a reason to release him so soon. I have to believe this is a work, and we will see the return of Byran Danielson ROH style. But if this is real, then just wow. WWE has let go a real talent, because I believe Danielson is definitely worthy of being a US, IC, or tag team champion.

It's FAKE! The last update to the wwe news page was june 1st. Look: http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/

Ok, wrong. It's still there. And the WWE news page doesn't update as much as the WWE news section on the main page. None of the main page updates are there yet.

Oh, and there is that fact that they edited out the Bryan/Roberts segment on the replays. Of course, the flip side of that is they DID NOT edit out Bryan yelling at Cena that he is not better than him.

They also edited out when Bryan spit in Cena's face, for what its worth.

*screams*

(I'm assuming this is not a work)

Why!? Why would you release the best wrestler in the company, he had the most to offer out of the entire NXT season 1, and it was really sweet having someone who was "different". Someone who was popular but did'nt have the look. It was refreshing to see next to all the high-fliers and the powerhouses to have A legitimate submission wrestler again.

When Bryan Danielson was eliminated from NXT, I stopped watching until I heard what he did to Michale Cole. That shows that he has the power to persuade A fans decision to watch a show or not. If Bryan supposed to be in the show A fan like me would watch the show to see him, if not i would change the channel. He was the guy who was able to "put the butts in the seats" for NXT.

Why one earth would the WWE do this!?! I mean who would slander the best thing about the NXT faction. It would have to be someone with his own agenda, someone with a good amount of stroke in the company, someone who has a mind like Vince (or IS Vince) who believes that if your not big then your not WWE.

I am now boycotting the NXT rookie faction angle if this is legit. If it's live on RAW I'll be changing the channel when they're on screen, and if it's on DVR, fast forward. I suggest fellow Danielson marks do the same.

I am praying that the WWE is only doing a work here because if not then they have tarnished an amazing idea with a mentally unstable decision to release the best person out of the group. It's like if WCW released hulk hogan a week into the official formation of the NWO.

WWE: FAIL!

 

[ABMorales787]

If people truly believe that Bryan Danielson was "released" due to being too real on Monday, you are idiots. He made the segment look real. He was clearly made to look like the mastermind. In kayfabe, none of the NXT Season1 rookies are under contract, with the exception of Wade Barrett. The editing of the segment was to keep it child friendly. Remember, reports of parents not being pleased with the level of violence on Raw. Of course they'll edit out the more "mature" parts like choking Justin Roberts and spitting on Cena. Even though Danielson was the one doing the most damage, that does not warrant a release. He was doing his job. He did it best. He's the mastermind. Somebody must be punished. Since NXT is based around realism, nothing is more realistic than firing the mastermind for corrupting the others. However remember that in Kayfabe, he isn't supposed to be under contract, which is why WWE may have removed the story.

Do you really believe a man who had a whole show centered around him would get fired for being "too rough" or for "rubbing the wrong guy"? WWE would have to be extremely stupid to toss off all that hard work in a heart beat.

This is a storyline... and by doing that, theyre fucking up any sort of continuity this storyline had... he never had a contract because thats what NXT was all about and he was eliminated from it. Don't speak of FCW because theyre not part of this, they never acknowledge them... everyone knows danielson has a contract with wwe but thats not part of this story..is it? suposedly they found these assholes out of nowhere because most of their programming is aimed towards the general public who has no idea what FCW is.
dont try to lecture me cause you sound even more ******ed than this entire angle.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Update on WWE stories
Within WWE, the word has been sent out internally that the Bryan Danielson firing is legitimate. All the higher-ups in the company were informed that he was gone before the item that everyone assumes to be a work was put on the web site. It's difficult to believe given the timing that it could possibly be legitimate. The idea they would work Donna Goldsmith and Michelle Wilson on a wrestling angle is also hard to fathom, and we've already seen examples of companies trying to work its employees and they are never good in the long-run. This news is from f4wonline.com

YOU are assuming that this is a storyline. Keeping that out, like a SMART person, you realize that FCW IS relevant because we are talkling about all WWE TALENT, not a storyline. So, ******, sometimes with more known talent in developmental WWE will quietly announce a release on their site......like they DID. Oh, and jackoff, the NXT stars weren't battling for a contract, they were battling to become "the next breakout star" and earn a title match. How 'bout we learn what we're talking about before trying to call others dumb.

 

[Total Impact]

It's been reported on other sites that higher ups/executives were informed on his release prior to the posting on WWE.com. So I doubt that the WWE would want to "Work" the guys in the suits. It wouldn't make sense, it could something to were Danielson wanted out or maybe he got in trouble.

im gonna make this quick cause im tired of your dumb ass:
WWE NXT is a professional wrestling television program produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) which debuted on Syfy on February 23, 2010.[2] Described as a hybrid between reality television and WWE's scripted live event shows, the premise of the show follows select talent contracted to WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in a competition to become a contracted member of the Raw roster with the help of mentors from WWE's Raw and SmackDown brands

another one:
The ultimate prize for one of the Rookies at the end of the season is a contract to perform on the Raw brand as well as receiving a championship match at an unspecified pay-per-view against any champion of his choosing
