So jim is just going to ramble on and on for 45 minutes while ignoring colt and any of his questions. So basically just like Jim's podcast

If you're into Redditors who can't cut promos as champion, sure.
He was brilliant as a heel champion, though.

In person or via Skype?
You are right about that, it's a shame but I guess it's part of him too.
I hope they don't. But the cool thing is he probably doesn't care about that.
Also, that bracelet story. Fuck.

Are we doing a network subscriber predictions league like gaming side does for the monthly NPD?

Colt does all his interviews in person
Its no contest. Network predictions are for the lolz while gaming side is pure anarchy and bloodshed.
Yes. Because he is the one writing those promos.
He was brilliant as a heel champion and he can deliver on the mic. Material wasn't the best and he did his best.
Still, he is far from a Redditor. Unless guys on reddit are knows for being some of the best wrestlers in the world.
But sure, hate on.

I'm sure Chris Hero at this point is just trying to prove a point. They told him he was too fat for NXT, so now he's like, "No, let me show you what fat is." His weight has always fluctuated and he knows how to control it. Before NXT, he went through stretches where he's get chubby then lean and back and forth.

Bryan and Brie just legit signed up for some neighborhood email newsletter? Some Stepford Wives shit right there, DON'T DO IT BRYAN!
Naw, all the neighbors gathering around them after the robbery was nice.
Fuck and he's willing to empathize with the robber? wow what an inspiration.

Jesus christ he's got those cottage cheese legs. Can't believe he ate his way out of the WWE (and kept on eating)

His "I have to go home" speech was written by him. It was among his worst promos ever.
lol okay. You are trolling. Got it.

he's not. Bryan is complete shit on the mic. he was addressing his injuries and on the verge of corpsing.

I'm serious.
I love me some Bryan in the ring, but he's bad on the mic and i'm still pissed about that Bo-ner stuff because i know exactly what kind of a babyface someone who says shit like that will turn into, do not want

The problem isn't so much his ability with promos, it's the smiley good guy persona and the sort of promos that come with said persona. He's limited on the mic, sure, but you can still play to his strengths. More aggression, for one thing. Less starry eyed wonder as the crowd chants YES for the billionth time.
Maybe Brie can be his manager
I wanted to post this gif again
that gif is doing things to my mind.
brie as bry's manager would work since she gets astonishing feedback from her segments.

Well, bad thing is that Bryan needs another surgery. He got a call from the doctor yesterday.
Blah blah blah bad promo. Guy got over doing them, deal with it.

hell yes. those pre-recorded promos with Kane worked the marks. even Sean O'Haire looked good in those.

That really sucks. I have a feeling he may never be back. If he is his style will gave to change dramatically. But this just seems like another Edge all over again.

Sounds like this surgery will be in his arm, not the neck.

Where did you hear that?
Also, Bryan is fine on promos because if he wasn't he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today because the WWE considers that an important value. All those fans cheering him must of been doing that because he was such an awful promo.

If Bryan has to significantly change up his style, I fully welcome his glorious mat technician heel run.
Macho Madness

He said so in the press conference. Sounds like the problem is in the arm itself, so that's where this one will be.
Dr Duncan Steel
Member
yeah there's this thing he does, where he enters the arena and this bell rings and he goes to work. but no i don't like the way he talks so i dismiss everything good about him.

The template for that "I'm leaving" promo was Bryan. Bryan wrote it. Bryan delivered it.

it's like a parade of Bryan gimmick posters.
i wonder who they'll nuthug once Bryan finally leaves.

Well I can only hope it corrects the issue. He will still have to change his style. Less diving headbutts, rag doll selling, and missle drop kicks, more mat wrestling and strikes. He is damn good in the ring and should be able to adapt.

So he's writing like a top star as well as performing.
So, answering seriously, the guy was facing a possible career threatening injury that would make him lose the title he had worked so much for, after is father had passed just a couple weeks prior and he didn't give this news in the more entertaining way possible?
Of course he was corpsing. The guy was probably at a loss of words and incredibly sad. He wasn't acting.
I mean, it's one thing to hate is face promos and we can argue that (I still think his heels promos were awesome) but that moment right there? He wasn't cutting a promo he was just sad.
He probably was fed that line. Is the kind of lines Cena has been fed for 10 years. It's how WWE ruins things.
I also don't like his happy-go-lucky persona on the ring. Doesn't mean he can't deliver a promo.
He can be precise and on point and deliver the info needed with expression. He isn't an Austin or a CM Punk but he isn't bad. He is average at worst and great at his best heel persona.
He was a "nerd", a cocky heel, he did comedy sketches, he was a fearce underdog and a loveable face.
For a guy who is "only good in the ring" he sure made a ton of thing work and did tons of different character moves.
But sure, guy can't do anything more than wrestling and saying Yes. I'm not even touching on what he did at ROH because I'm not super familiar with it. Just WWE stuff.
The more amazing thing is the fact that that got cheered. People just love some D-Bry.

He's not Cena.
Also, he partly got himself over as a face by adding a bunch of highspots to his repertoire and then using them in every match. If he does end up having to scale back the risks he takes in the ring, it might be difficult to capture that same explosiveness that has marked his in-ring style as a face.
