Probably just talking men
Just cracking on Holly, not your friend. Sorry about that.
I think this list illustrates how unfortunate Bryan's health issues are. His body of work in the WWE isn't particularly impressive in contrast to his ability, and he would've had a lot more to give over the next few years. More matches with Reigns, Lesnar, Undertaker, Cena, Rollins, Ambrose, Owens, and possibly others. It's definitely a career cut short.
It's a shame he couldn't change his style. He strikes me as someone who never needed all the flashy moves because he had good fundamentals. All the flashiness that fans love these days isn't what creates memorable moments.

Last I heard, coincidentally doing every type of indy not in Canada because he's wanted by police there for rape
Well, there goes my hope.
He's not gonna make a joke out of the loss of a man's career and passion.

The question is: how many active wrestlers would pass the battery of tests that Bryan took? Would WWE want to know?
Even with as much as we've crossed paths, I have to agree. He may have a sense of humor that not everyone gets, but he wouldn't make light of this.

You think the roster's fucked now? Ooh boy
It'd be for the best, but the roster and quality would be at 2002 levels, and every single New Japan guy that came over this year would immediately be forced back there, except mayyyyybe Karl

All of these different places confirming that this isn't a work is just gonna make it that much sweeter when it's a work.
But seriously though, they can't just let us have 3 more hours of fantasy booking?

I'm not going into it. I just showed that he might not be the best person to do a thread. I don't know the guy, just see his comments here.
I didn't even insulted him. Just said it might be good that he didn't do the thread given he made a previously thread joking with the fact he was seriously injured.
I don't know if he would made fun of it or not just that he did in the past so maybe it's good someone else does the thread.
I'm not going to discuss Sunny anymore. It was a comment about that thread. If some of you want to take it personally like I insulted your friend then cool but I won't comment more on this.
Let's talk about wrestling.

NXT touring more routinely actually makes sense to help transition the guys up to the main roster and its fucked beyond hell schedule. Less of a shock to the system.
That said, they really need to rotate wrestlers in and out in a pre-designated seasonal rotation for their own benefit and to keep the product fresh. Plus, it would force them to map out builds in advance like they did in the old days which they're completely resistent against doing.

Welcome to the Internet. Mother fuckers ruin everything!
All the same, Finn just injured his ankle at a NXT live event. Seems as though it's not serious, but still, do you really want to be putting this extra mileage on people who already have mileage before they even get called up?

Have you stopped to consider even for a second that Daniel Bryan's retirement isn't actually about you specifically Ithil and so maybe you shouldn't exploit it?
And he keeps on trucking.
For the benefit of the community could you please ease up on your cruiserweight style concern trolling?

How is Jay Lethal not in WWE?
The Bryan thing is odd for me. On one hand, I'm happy for him that he's out of limbo and there is a final decision in all of this drama. On the other hand, he's been my favorite active wrestler for nearly a decade since I first saw him on an ROH show.
2006 was a low point for me. I was really hating WWE at the time and knew nothing of the alternatives. I discovered TNA about that time, and with TNA came many new wrestlers like Homicide and AJ Styles. Those lead me to Ring of Honor and I fell in love with Bryan almost immediately. He was what I wanted in a wrestler and never saw a match that disappointed. That carried on into WWE, even with all the BS that he had to deal with early on. When he finally got his runs at the top, it was amazing. I saw 18 seconds live and felt robbed, as I wanted Bryan to show what he could do at Mania....but in hindsight it was genius. Then we got Wrestlemania 30 and it was legit one of the most magical moments I have seen in wrestling. I'm happy and sad at the same time. Happy that he's finally able to end the limbo his career has been in and move on with life and sad that one of my favorites that got me back into wrestling during a dark time has retired.

ROH offered a higher pay and bigger push

Finn's goofy social media antics are going to make it impossible for me to take him seriously as a heel on the main roster. So he'd better be getting the full face treatment.
Well, the bigger push part of that equation should have been an understood given. They didn't need to guarantee that.

Because he knows that he'll be dead in the water and for once I encourage someone to stay in the indies.

The conspiracy part of me is mighty curious at how all of these injuries are piling up one after another so close to each other. But honestly it's probably nothing.
Would you accept a compromise in a full face-paint treatment?

Odds that they'll try to throw Reigns in to this segment tonight? Because they'd totally do that.

I think they're savvy enough not to do that. Brie-Charlotte-Flair-Steph-Triple H? Sure. Reigns? No. (Outside of leading the locker room out from the back to YES chant in tribute.)
They've been intentionally dialing down the Reigns uber-push pre-Fastlane so it'll seem fresh and exciting again for the Reigns-Triple H Mania build.
This is factually correct. At least on the main roster.
You can make an argument for Bayley's win over Sasha in NXT.
Those are always riveting. Glad they trot that angle out every month in place of developing an actual storyline or feud.
Eddie's win over Barack Lesnar and Batista winning the title at Wrasslin'Mania 21 eclipse that moment for me. I don't even care for Bryan's journey at that event. As far as I'm concerned, Brotista should've won the title, and then dropped it at Wrasslin'Mania 31 to Roman Reigns after a one year run.
The only good thing about that entire debacle was the video package.
Goddamn travesty.

Rolling Stone is involved in worked storylines though. They got that Sean Penn El chapo swerve going.

I ask myself this question every few weeks.
I assume he will probably end up there eventually but he is just doing good for himself already and isnt in a rush.

Goddamn, that's a cool onesie. Anybody know if it's available for a decent price
Great buildup to a swerve I didn't see coming. Masterful booking.

Just fancied watching one of Bryan's matches..
Damn, him and Reigns had a battle at Fastlane last year.
I'm presuming that Roman was heel there (i barely had the sound on)? If so, he was far more convincing and looked really good towards the latter half of the match.
But yeah, I really hope Bryan remains on good terms with WWE and remains on screen. He'd make a great personality backstage.

Literally none of those are botches
They were both faces, and there were also some people cheering for Reigns. That's the Roman we need. The one who just wrecks fools, and gets what's his.

Why won't the WWE give us that Roman and insist on giving us goofy "pretend to be Cena" Roman, Verendus?
