I can't wait to see brayn wrestle 2 matches at the g1 climax next year before he has to bow out due to life threatening injuries.

That's more like it.

 

[somedevil]

How the fuck could he work with WWE and approve of that fucking schedule they run?

Last time I checked WWE doesn't even have concussion testing or end matches of a doctor suspects one.

They do have a concussion protocol:

He worked his ass off!

He sure did 😂

So they build up EVIL and then they don't put him on the card but just be in the corner of Naito?

[Colocho]

At this point, if Bryan ever wrestles again, they're just gonna have him come back after WM32 so Roman has someone credible to feud with after he takes the title from Brock.

Lethal's not defending the ROH title?

 

[British Monsoon]

Presumably, either that or he'll be in the Rumble - I'd guess this Meiyu Tag/Los Ingobernables thing is going to go on for a while longer, so Goto will likely get screwed over by EVIL & BUSHI at ringside and/or interfere to cost Shibata his title shot vs Ishii.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Can't believe they're actually gonna have Nakamura lose to Worst AJ

 

[Heroman]

That's more like it.

We can finally get that knee vs knee that we deserve.

 

[British Monsoon]

Lethal's not defending the ROH title?

He will likely be defending the title, but New Japan announced it a bit prematurely (there's still the matter of Final Battle, with the ROH title match and no.1 contenders match yet to happen!).

 

[slightconfuse]

Nakamjra is not losing to AJ. AJ can barely wrestle.

He should drop it to Big Mike at New Begining

 

[DMczaf]

Get hyped, DM!

King!!!!!!

 

[slightconfuse]

Meltzer reporting that if AJ can't make final battle it will be Adam Cole vs Kyle Orielly vs Lethal for the title

 

[Bronx-Man]

Meltzer reporting that if AJ can't make final battle it will be Adam Cole vs Kyle Orielly vs Lethal for the title

I'm perfectly fine with this.

...meh

 

[Data West]

Damn it. Sorry it isn't Moose. It is Uhaa/Apollo. My mistake!

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I pray to god Bryan training in joo jeetsoo just means he's trying to change his style in a wrestling ring should he ever return. Cause putting him in an MMA environment will just bust him the fuck up. Zero confidence in him thriving in that field.

 

[Data West]

 

[Shadow780]

Alexa's great at this high school alpha female with her two lackeys.

Loves KPop and Playstation, this woman would fit right in GAF.

 

[slightconfuse]

OMG TAKA PLZZZZZZZZZ

 

[slightconfuse]

What??

 

[Data West]

Wow. So the Owen Hart blu-ray has footage of Owen vs Bret from WM X from above and it looks incredible

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

that looks amazing.

think I might have to pick this up

 

[slightconfuse]

2 new young boys wil debut for. New Japan on 1/3 pre show

 

[Bluekaveli]

That's damn cool

 

[DMczaf]

Needs more Kevin Dunn cuts

 

[Hycran]

Daniel Bryan coming to a Bellator cage near you

Let him work up towards CM Punk, let the carnies go full circle to the point of staging a real fight with Punk hitting the GTS.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Wow. So the Owen Hart blu-ray has footage of Owen vs Bret from WM X from above and it looks incredible

Why doesn't WWE use camera angles like these now?

Now I know why Jeff started doing drugs, Waylon Mercy pinned his fucking head through the mat with a brainbuster.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

2 new young boys wil debut for. New Japan on 1/3 pre show

The new two new young boys are:

Hirai Kawato (18 years old!): http://www.njpw.co.jp/data/detail_profile.php?f=945

Teruaki Kanemitsu: http://www.njpw.co.jp/data/detail_profile.php?f=946

Aside from Kawato being a fucking baby, they sure look like New Japan young boys. Both are a little taller than Tanaka so should be able to make it as modern heavyweights.

Would WWE grant Bryan his release if he asked for it? Does he have a timetable for long he's willing to sit around collecting dust? Wrestling in WWE is better, monetarily, but Bryan Danielson returning to the indies would be the biggest non-WWE American wrestler in the world, making AJ's resurgence look minor by comparison.

Doubt it. Those Yes shirts probably still sell. Remember how they kept Rey hostage when he wanted to leave?

 

[slightconfuse]

Really good promo by Enzo on NXT.

I see him as DOA on the main roster unless he is a manager

Bryan Danielson coming back to ROH would be hype as hell, but Vince would never grant it. Orton's gone til 2017, so Cena & him are the only ones left on the roster that are actually over.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

As both Punk and ADR have shown, WWE knows their contracts are unenforceable. If Bryan wanted out he could lawyer up and get a release. Instead he's collecting checks and learning BJJ. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Data West]

I imagine he wouldn't want to do that with his wife still working for them.

It depends if you have a reasonable definition of DOA, e.g. not "booked like Brock Lesnar" which is what people were expecting for Kevin Owens for some reason.

That was a nice set of maneuvers right there

That's true, but they wanted Rey to wrestle to make up for all the time he spent on the shelf, whereas they DON'T want Bryan to wrestle and probably never will, given the concussion lawsuit. Dreamer's an old broken-down piece of meat that nobody gives a fuck about, whereas Bryan is a young, popular star who will make a very public splash if something happens to him in the ring.
