They need to give Bryan the Michael Myers gimmick.

I bet they repackaged him into Erick Rowan, and silently fired the real one.

is this the real life
Lots of the lower end Quack guys quietly retired because either they had more lucrative opportunities outside the business or weren't realistically going to do anything regardless of what style they worked. DJ Skittlez was not going to carry the indies on his back if he learned to do more than some arm drags (and he wasn't very good at them). Some CHIKARA students have gone on to do rather well for themselves, whether that's immediately apparent or not. And to say they "aren't actually taught how to wrestle" is kinda insulting considering (a) they actually are, and (b) many were wrestling at a certain level before coming to CHIKARA anyway.
It got such a following online because, until about 2008 (whenever that Vin Gerard vs. Fire Ant match for the YLC was), the booking was pretty interesting and the wrestling was pretty varied and different to any of the other indies, not just "ultra basic wrestling you'd see at a local indie". It might have been basic on the earlier student shows, some 2005 stuff from the Reading venue, but that's what those shows were for. It was a nice contrast at the time to somewhere like ROH which promised a lot but was ultimately kinda disappointing. Age of the Fall, my god.
I am kinda bummed that nobody's ever picked up on Hallowicked though. He had ROH matches that were very good but never got brought in regularly. Should've tagged him with Delirious when they were a team in CHIKARA.

At this point, since I don't own WWE stock and have plenty of other wrestling to watch, I want Daniel Bryan to be buried to watch the meltdown.
He's the most cheered Superstar in WWE (as of last RAW) and they paired him with a gimmick that'll be dead six months from now. They'll totally rename him as Daniel Wyatt.
OR WORSE. They'll name him Bryan Wyatt and reveal his real first name is Bryan.
Daniel Wyatt
Oh what fresh hell is this?

I dunno seeing all you people saying Daniel Bryan's dead and buried and seeing those along the comments makes me feel so.....defeated. Like I should have zero hope for this company or else you'll only have yourself to blame.
Ehh it's just wrasslin.

indeed it is.
"buried" while dating a hot diva, traveling the world doing what he loves and possibly making close, or over, 7 figures a year.
"buried", the marks said.

He may have gotten the most cheers, but I guarantee you John Cena sold the most at the merchandise table that night.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Were the marks this dramatic when Hogan joined the NWO?

John Cena sells and probably has sold the most merchandise at every live event for years.

No, because the WCW audience never warmed to Hogan when he first came in. Also, Hogan was already hated by the IWC. Oh, and the Internet was much smaller.

the definition of the word "burial" is all over the place. if Bryan is buried, then what the fuck is Zack Ryder? or Ziggler?
Bryan got something called "demotion", from main-event singles to upper mid-card heel stable. that's it.

Because he's the face of the WWE and has been for YEARS.

And the WWE is among the most successful it's ever been. Thus, they should continue treating Cena as the Hogan/Austin/Bruno level draw he is until he gets older and/or starts to get fully turned on by even the kids in the audience (like what happened to Hogan) and Bryan and Punk should be treated as they should - major supporting stars.
Don't worry, they'll do good work putting over Roman Reigns, Big E. Langston, and Mojo Rowley.

Bullet Club are awesome, you're just clearly not reeeeeeeeal enough to appreciate that 
The NWA crowned a new NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champions last night - nice to see them pushing some young stars of the future;
Yes, that's Ricky Morton.

I bet HHH personally packed those figures together.

Yeah, I was waiting for you to show up and say something like that. Bullet Club (so far) is no better than the last iteration of the NWO in WCW. Now, I'm not at the Prince Devitt match yet, so maybe he can sway me.
This Goto/Shibata match, however, is FUCKING AWESOME.

oh geez...
So TenKoji gets the NWA tag belts tonight? It would make sense, if they are going to start touring it (and the Heavyweight Title) around.

I think Bullet Club stand out because you don't get many factions like them in Japan - sure, there's heel stables like CHAOS & Suzuki-gun, but Bullet Club are the most reviled because of how much interference they introduce into matches. That's seen as a very western wrestling sort of thing, which fits with the fact that Bullet Club are all gaijin wrestlers. Truth be told, I am getting a little tired of the constant interference and didn't enjoy the KES vs Bullet Club match as much as I was hoping to, but Devitt remains awesome and, I'm guessing you won't agree with me here, but so are The Young Bucks.

Yeah, it's pretty insane. That's definitely where business started to pick up on the card - every match after Goto/Shibata is great.
Like I said, this is my first "real" exposure to Japanese Pro-Wrestling. I've read the awesome stuff that you post and I've see a few clips here and there but I've never sat down and watched a full show. I can completely understand if the Bullet Club is doing something nontraditional, but for me, I don't know what the "normal" is over there. So it just looks like typical big-man power moves and typical heel stable stuff.
It was weird seeing Muta as an old man In my mind he's the crazy scary guy that was teaming or feuding with Sting when I was a kid.
