Daniel Bryan Released *GIVE OPINIONS*

The only way I can see this working as a 'work' would be if it's mentioned that Danielson was made the scapegoat by Wade Barrett who is the leader of the 'NXTWO'. Leading to the following scenarios:
Barrett will interfere in the main event at Fatal Four Way, Barrett will win the Money in the Bank ladder match (ahead of Kofi - who is on the poster - and Evan Bourne) and then Cena-Barrett at Summerslam and this is where we'll see the 'NXTWO' try and beat down on Cena (and Bourne) and then the return of Bryan Danielson to level the numbers.

If it isn't a work then the IWC gets some ROH or TNA matchups. Either way both sides win... the only way you can say this 'hurts' the WWE is that Danielson now has a higher profile than he did beforehand but considering the main audience didn't get to see him wrestle much then he won't be that much of a loss.

Put it this way - it'd be a better surprise if we saw Batista in TNA rather than Danielson.

EDIT: Level the numbers? What the hell was I saying - I meant clear house and then ultimately cost Barrett the title.
 
Daniel Bryan has been fired for real, it was because he choked ring announcer Justin Roberts and then spit in Cena's face, they said it was to violent for WWE's PG environment, they even edited those spots off the replays. It's not a work, on WWE.com, it says "WWE has come to terms on the release of Daniel Bryan(Bryan Danielson)". It says Bryan Danielson in parenthese so it means he's gone

hahahaha bye bye Daniel, this is what you get for being a conceited idiot every week
 
It is strange about the NXT beatdown not working, as I watched it on there a few hours ago. I also remember that article saying that the rookies all received praise in boatloads for the angle when they got backstage. I also remember reading earlier in the week that WWE will be focusing more on reality-based storylines in the near future. This could be one. And if it was real, wouldn't we have heard about the repercussions of the tie-choking incident sooner? I mean, a firing seems pretty harsh considering it was a scripted styoryline....the timing is just too weird and the twitter comment doesn't show enough disappointment if he really was fired.

Then again, it could just be backstage politics...
 
I keep reading peoples comments that he's coming back as Brian Danielson, but that name was in parentheses after his WWE name. He ain't comin back guys. Hopefully TNA will put in a bid...maybe he's Dixie's secret??? Ya never know. One thing I know is he don't have any problem finding work.

Also, it doesn't take much to get fired from WWE. Just rub someone the wrong way and you're gone.
 
This is pretty legit, as we all know by the hundreds of source being posted about him using the tie was harsh, but come on, it made that night so much more memorable.

Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson is a rookie in the WWE, and he got caught up in the moment and tried to make the scene so much better, and they fire his ass.

WWE this is rediculous and if this is legit, you just lost yourself a future main eventer.

You see, that's where you messed up... Bryan Danielson is too good for TNA and will obviously go BACK to ROH, if this is not a work.

However, the fact that they use his real name means absolutely nothing. In fact, they used HBK's real name last year on live television. The whole thing is to give you the belief that he is actually released.

My problem is, how can you "release" a person who was never "contracted" in the first place? That's the evidence that lets me know this is not a work.
 
Does anyone know Bryan Danielson's actual contractual status prior to his "release?" I don't mean his kayfabe "one day contract" or his "unsuccessful" stint with NXT, I mean the actual contract he had with the WWE, and more specifically, whether or not he had a 90 day no-compete clause like is commonplace with most if not all of the current superstars in WWE. I cannot imagine he wouldn't have had a no-compete clause right from the get go, but does anyone know for sure what the situation is here contractually with Bryan Danielson?

Because here's a crazy thought. What if he became disillusioned with his time in the WWE and was unhappy with his apparent direction. What if he was unhappy or uncomfortable with the NXT invasion angle, or with his interaction with Cole, or whatever, and decided the WWE wasn't where he wanted to be. Secretly, behind the scenes, he's been negotiating with Dixie Carter for a surprise jump/defection to TNA. This is the big surprise that Dixie Carter was babbling about yesterday, that she has stolen Danielson right from under the noses of the WWE, to either pair up with, or feud against, Desmond Wolfe.

I seriously doubt this, I'm sure McMahon has enough business acumen to legally prevent such a thing from happening, but I do find it interesting that it happens right on the heels of Carter's excitement about big news yesterday. This would be very interesting, shades of an actual Monday Night war when said wars were made interesting by such surprise jumps and defections.

Most likely, it's a work, pulling the wool over the eyes of the IWC, likely under the direction of a new heel leader Michael Cole. But it makes for interesting speculation.

As cool as that would be in the first place, it would be stupid by Bryan, unless he really never wants to wrestle for the WWE again. Who knows what is when TNA may be gone in a few years? If Bryan jumps ship now, he would never have the chance to achieve anything under Vince, I assume. And that would mean he - as gifted as he is - would never achieve something legendary which you can just do in the WWE since WCW is gone and the NWA puny.
 
I think I may be the only one who finds the NXT invasion angle to be cheezy and more unbelievable than a Vince death angle. I am clearly also one of the few who doesn't get all hot and bothered when the name Bryan Danielson is brought up.

When all the NXT rookies came out on Raw and layed out a top face and a top heel and nobody from the back comes out. I know I'm supposed to be suspending belief when watching pro wrestling, but am I really supposed to believe that a bunch of nobody rookies are going to run a muck and not have anyone from Raw come out and make a save?

As far as Tie-Gate goes, It certainly wasn't to violent for the time that it aired, so the USA network would have no problem with it, and if Vince was so happy with the outcome why would he fire him? Though I do remember a thread in the wrestling spam section bringing up Parental Complaints, and if there was an overwhelming cry for some sort of punishment than I wouldn't be surprised if Vince pulled the trigger, especially with the whole Linda McMahon situation.
 
I can not believe this. I think it simply has to be a work. Think about the angle they are creating. WWE knows majority of his fans are from IWC so they spin something on the web to get fans going nuts. Lets be honest... Now I wanna watch Raw to see if this BS is true.. Think about it.. I can totally see the Miz going on a long rant promo about him getting fired.. Only for him to come back out of the audience or something. WWE trying to push the button by using their own website for a kayfabe.. Note last weeks RAW they are trying to repackage and evolve their own product with unpredictability again..


To be completely honest, I really really hope I am right.. Cause if this is legit WWE just f-ed up MAJOR. And if no more Bryan Danielson I guess you can say goodbye to Evan Bournes Push... And well... Kaval should just quit now.
 
Not to mention they just claimed they wanted to make smaller guys more believable, and Danielson was one of the guys they wanted to give a push to.
 
Sorry to tell you but it's nonsense. Choking Justin Roberts with a tie? Really? Any spots like that on moday would have been pre-planned with WWE and Roberts himself.

See, reports say that not many people knew about the invasion, including the many at ringside. It was done like that so it would come off more real. So its not like they planned to have Roberts choked to death. They had to do something. But BD will be back. Similar to when Cryme Tyme had to be fired over that spot on the ref and then were brought back later on. If this angle runs for a while, we will see a BD comeback or should i say run-in in the near future.
 
It might be legit cause since he changed his twitter to his real name maybe it means that he changed it so he no longer feels affiliated with the WWE.
 
If this ends up being true and not a work, I'm done with the E and I'll just stick to my WCW. It's better than the shit on tv now anyways.

Yeah, WCW was soooooo good they fucking went out of business. lol

This is real. It's not a work (lol how dumb are you people?). Hopefully he gets hired back like CT did.

In the meantime, this really fucks up the Invasion angle imo. After Barrett, Daneislon was the next best guy they had.

And Brian Danielson is not going to TNA.

TNA IS A GIANT FUCKING SHIT HOLE. IF YOU CAN'T SEE THAT BY NOW YOU ARE A FUCKING TNA ASS LICKER. No one gets over in TNA. No one. TNA is where shitty wrestlers go to waste away in front of 500 people a week. They aren't even a real wrestling fed.
 
I think daniel bryan will come back to the WWE as danielson at the end of nxt season 2 with a new found respect for WWE as the american dragon and will lead the nxt season 2 rookies against the nxtwo invasion!!!!! you heard it hear first !!!!
 
Wait so I'm supposed to believe Bryan Dainelson was released for choking justin roberts with his tie and "breaking PG TV" when Cena Choked out Orton with a pair of handcuffs at bragging rights not even six months ago?

This seems an awful lot like a work to me.. Especially with the recent NXT "shoot style" invasion and the Matt Hardy McIntyre Shit..

Not saying it isn't legit, but I think I'm going to wait a week before making any assumtions.. if he is still gone and edited out of WWE programing then this really sucks, and I guess I will start watching whatever promotion he jumps over too because I really did enjoy his time in WWE so-far, he's an entertaining on-screen personality.
 
This is so obviously a work. Bryan is over huge and so is the entire angle for a company that has promoted raping, blowing up, sodomizing, and outright killing people to fire someone over a choke is ridiculous. The WWE is trying to be slick, they had a lousy show end with such a dramatic turn, and are now using the internet to drum up even more interest.

Roberts had to of been in on it, not like they didn't set that up before, He didn't actually freakin choke the guy out. So why not fire Roberts for knowing and going along with it.

They proved by invading FCW that the NXT thing was more than just a John Cena ass kicking. An another thing, Bryan was there.

How do you explain that? Raw was monday the FCW show was Wendsday, if they were so angry over this choke, why didn't they fire him directly after RAW?

Why because this is a work.
 
I'm pretty sure that this is a work. It could very well just be part of the NXT Invasion angle. After all "Daniel Bryan" was someone "created" by the WWE. During the first season of NXT, a week or so after his elimination, he did an interview backstage and referred to himself by his real name. I'm very much hoping that he'll show up on Raw this Monday and that the dropping of the Daniel Bryan name is a decision he made as he's going to make it as who he is rather than be part of the WWE machine. If this is a work, it's a good one because it's got the internet completely abuzz.

If he legitimately has been released, then it may very well be the single dumbest move the WWE has made in a very long time. It makes WWE look bad, it makes NXT look like an absolute sham and puts a huge hole in the entire NXT Invasion story.
 
Whether this is a work or not it doesn't even matter at this point to the WWE. What the WWE cares about is that no one thinking about TNA or any other form of wrestling and everyone is jumping online and talking about everything that the WWE is doing. They are working us like a $2 hooker and they are loving every second of it....just as I am.

I love NOT knowing what's going on. It keeps me watching the show! Great job WWE. Whether he's fired or not, we all will watch RAW to try to see what the fuck is going on.

The "smartest" fans can be played like a fiddle just like the "casual" fans and the children.
 
Sadly, this seems legit. And once again, the McMahons have thumbed their noses at wrestling fans for the sake of a political campaign that is doomed to failure. I'm not going to get into a debate as to whether or not Linda McMahon deserves to be a Senator, I'm just going to deal with a fact: she will never be a Senator. All recent polling of her race shows her down by double digits, about 20 points in fact. The closest poll, one done by her campaign, still had her down 13. So, the McMahons have continued to weaken their product in the hopes of shutting off attacks by opponents, but instead they've ruined it & still won't win a Senate seat.

This really screws up the storyline. Barrett was the only other credible NXT rookie in my opinion. And, in the future, you could've easily seen a power struggle between Bryan & Barrett, providing more storylines. Some of the other rookies may have potential, but they aren't ready for a major storyline like an NXT invasion. Only Barrett & Bryan were, & now one of them is gone. WWE better hope Barret doesn't get injured, because none of those other guys could credibly lead an invasion at this point.

Where does Danielson go? He could go to TNA. He could feud with Doug Williams for the X divison title. Williams talks about being the best pure mat wrestler. Danielson could challenge that, & a feud could go from there. I think he could form a pretty good tag team w/Samoa Joe. He could pull off that silent assassin type character, a guy who doesn't talk much but beats the hell out of people. They could be put into a program with the Band, who don't seem to be doing anything. And it would elevate the tag titles.

All in all, WWE really screwed up here.

Exactly, this is clrearly not a work, i understand that WWE is trying to be unpredictable for some time now but this is just too exaggerated to be a work.I guess they though he overracted , although i dont know why they showed him chocking that Justin Roberts so long if they knew it wasnt good for their programming.Btw they cut down when D.B. spit in CEna's face too.
 
Wait so I'm supposed to believe Bryan Dainelson was released for choking justin roberts with his tie and "breaking PG TV" when Cena Choked out Orton with a pair of handcuffs at bragging rights not even six months ago?

That was a PPV. Although still a PG product, there are no tv parental ratings for PPV. So there is a difference.
 
If this is a work, I will eat my hat. Seriously.

But I'm starting to believe more and more that it's legit...which is sad.

Guess we'll find out Monday on RAW...
 
Did anyone stop to think Vince might be doing this to get peoples minds off the TNA "suprise"

Think about it.. we were all talking about Dixie's surprise yesterday and speculating it'll probably be a dud.. but even duds get people to tune in sometimes.

If so.. Vinny Mac is a genius because this is working.

Hope its a work though
