I think they'll let him have one last match against Cena at WrestleMania.
This post is about ethics in game journalism.
Whatever happened to Bryan saying that if he doesn't wrestle...he'll find somewhere else to wrestle?
On that note I doubt he's coming back and even if he does...they are going to stiff him to the point of being a vegetable. You seen the match with Harper. They trying to put Bryne on the shelf because "fuck that runt".

Yeah I don't see Bryan getting back into the ring. They'll forever keep him written in WWE history as a Rudy. It sucks but at the same time he was the focal point of wwe for like eight months in a time of one belt which is pretty impressive

If he's done, he should at least get his match with Nakamura on the way out at Mania.

You are an idiot.
And it's interesting, he'll just leave and go back to wrestle in ROH most likely, or NJPW. It's dangerous too, if they won't want him to wrestle again it's going to be super scary to see him wrestle in a company, or companies, which have harder, more dangerous styles than WWE in terms of stiff workers and hard hitting.

How did the review read?
I skimmed through it, I really don't want any spoilers, but they're really praising it

They want Bryan to tone his shit down because when he came back the first time, he kept getting dropped on his fucking head because that's how he takes suplexes
Once he comes back, he should wrestle a much safer style. He's over for life. Use that shit.

WHY
WHY, Goto loosin the belt

The Bryan story is indeed a tragedy because dude fought his ass off to get to the top, only to have that injury blocking his path. Say what you want about him but Bryan was trying to bring change that CM Punk failed to deliver on. The crowd embraced his never say die attitude, his matches were top notch, every gimmick and storyline that's purified shit...he ends up turning it into gold, and the whole road to Wrestlemania story felt true to the name. It really felt like this man is finally going to do it. Let's talk about that WM 30 performance. He brought out a different kind of Triple H, I mean Trips became Shao Khan overnight and it was glorious. On that night, the authority should have ended. I look at that WM like Starrcade 97. Both events could have started a new era...but the powers that be refuse to embrace change.
he main-evented WM? all I remember from Dbry is his epic feud against Kane before he got injured!

Fale's gonna get Tanadough'd for that G1 win.
I love the Nak but he should have won the G1 and Goto should be keeping the IC belt. These NJPW plot circles are frustrating as shit.

Good morning, friends. Today is a NEW DAY~!
Mr. Pantsattack we have a problem here
This avatar ain't big enough for the two of us.
Batista's program could have been good if he was a complete rumble surprise and if Orton wasn't boring as shit at the time.

Mania 30 was just all-around awesome. Bryan's entire story hit the top that night, and it was amazing. Everyone bought into it and went nuts. It was a beautiful sight and was great having him make it, finally.
not so sure about that, didn't someone say that the decision was made hours before the match?

i don't think anybody knows what they're talkin about when they say 'bryan's not coming back lol'. most 'i've got a hunch and that means you're obviously wrong lol' posts turn out to be dummies later when something else happens.
seems like they're keeping it open for him to return, he's on a bunch of their shows and comes onto raw and stuff. why wouldn't he come back? you guys privy to his medical files and secret convos with vince and the gang?

He said he might die if he gets in the ring again.

Goto's not losing, goes into WK as Champion. I'm pretty certain.
a little tough looking back knowing they had Kane in the wings ready for him.
Much like Benoit.
Wish I had time to play.

I also feel this way. Nakamura also doesn't need that IC title at all. Slowly arranging the chessboard...once Tanahashi is out, Nakamura steps in and we finally get what we want.

This was on Tough Talk, it REALLY stuck out as a shock he'd say that considering all the other stuff.

It really was. And a GORGEOUS set, too. I loved that.
I feel if Brock didn't beat Taker, WM30 would have been the GOAT WrestleMania. I still maintain that The Streak ending was an awful decision and it absolutely murdered the crowd for almost the entire remainder of the night.
Set was too big.
Set was too big.
Alien and Aliens are both great as are Terminator and Terminator 2. I feel like it's a bit of a blessing that those series had two strong entries back to back, which were also different from each other. Not many series have ever had that.
I remember MGS4 got greater praise, and I honestly hate that game. My reaction is only extreme because I like the franchise so much, but a person should know their taste, and understand what they might like or not like. People have a tendency to focus on others words too much when it comes to liking or disliking something. At the end, all that matters is your own viewpoint, and how much you like or dislike something. It's your time that's being invested, and that's precisely why that's the case.
MGSV is likely going to be great for those people who love the gameplay, and consider that above and beyond everything else (although it could also be slightly repetitive since it's not exactly a tight game). If you like open world games, and like MGS, then this game will also probably be good for you. If you're a fan of linear, and more story focused MGS, then you need to have a bit of an open mind. It's a long game, and the balance isn't quite there in my eyes. Also, for spoiler sensitive people, they should probably avoid the review thread. There's something in there that kind of hints at the ending of the game. A bit of a jabroni move since that's the strongest part of the game storywise but it is what it is.
MGS1 and MGS3 still remain the best in the series for me. Although MGSV is better purely from a gameplay perspective (although you could also say that for MGS4 too since those games are old, and have various issues in that aspect now). This feels like a MGS2. A lot of people will love it, a lot of people won't, but it's not a bad game. It's just not what I wanted, and I accepted that.
Now MGS4, that was a huge disappointment. Peacewalker was even worse but MGS4 did the damage to me. It was like those Undertaker dick kicks, except it did it to me about a dozen times.
I meant the second call. Brock flips Undertaker off, then collapses, and the referee calls for the bell pretty quickly. That's likely what confused the dude a little. It's obvious he passes out, but it's called a little quickly.
This is always how folks should think of it.

Have them bring back Double A and we are good to go.
WWE retroactively made Brock winning neat because he ended up destroying John Cena a few months later. Brock going over Taker at WM30 was stupid because the build up to the match gave Brock zero credibility and didn't make you believe Brock stood a single chance. Brock was the least threatening contender to The Streak since probably Mark Henry given how the build up to that match went.

It's a shame, I got that minor spoiler, and while it's minor, it's also one of those things that sticks out so that while I play I'll constantly be thinking "ok, here comes the part" - until it happens. Sucks. Ah well, it's more about the journey.
MGS4 was absolutely the worst in the series by a huge degree. It's gonna be interesting.

Goto winning would be dope. He's my boy. I can't see him beating nak again.
Though we should get a title shot in november for beating Okada in the G1.
Also no BIG MIKE but we get lame-o cj parker

Best Wrestlemania 30 would be:
Batista returns as a surprise entry at the Rumble, and goes on to face a defending Daniel Bryan. Turns heel, takes the title, and keeps it until Wrestlemania 31.
Best era is Brotista era.
Then my man could've done the honours for Romanian Reigns at Wrestlemania 31, and the crowd would've been fully behind the new face of this era. And then we'd get Brock vs. Reigns at Summerslam, with Barack winning, and Reigns gaining redemption at Wrestlemania 32.
Long-term booking.
Instead, there was a two month Kane fued, in the 21st century, and Bryan has been pretty much absent since then.

I think they will, I believe they'll go all the way back to Stone Cold's origins as a Stunning man, which means a Dangerous Alliance!
Don't call CJ Parker a lame-o
