Bryan Danielson Released
 

From Daniel Bryan's Twitter: Just changed my twitter name to Bryan Danielson. The winds of change are stirring.

Mmmmmhmmmmm

Damn you got my hopes up. i thought this boring ass colin delaney ripoff was going back to the old ladies bingo hall or maybe even school to learn how to wrestle. Fuckin yard tard.

Apparently it was Bryan Danielson who hacked StingerSplash4Lyf's shit

Honestly, I never stopped calling him Danielson and wouldn't have. "Daniel Bryan" is a fucking stupid name.

daniel bryan ripping off colin delaney is the biggest ripoff since that bruce lee wannabe played the crow who was a pathedic rippoff of the crow stinger (2nd best stinger)

lol. Kyle is a soft name. Where's Triple Naitch???

Oh wait, I see what you were doing there. :shifty:

So maybe:

Skip Sheffield --> Ryan Reeves
Darren Young --> Fred Sampson
Justin Gabriel --> Paul Lloyd Jr
Wade Barrett --> Stu Bennett
David Otunga --> David Otunga
Micheal Tarver --> Tyrone Evans
Heath Slater --> Heath Miller
and
Micheal Cole --> Micheal Coulthard

Some of them should keep their name as they work. I wouldn't change Young, Gabriel or Tarver. Skip Sheffield should probably just drop the Skip. Don't really mind the rest either way, though I'd prefer Wade Barrett.

I don't think everyone needs a name change. But I am glad that Bryan Danielson might be getting a chance to call himself such. I'd keep the others as they are. The only one I'd think about changing is Skip Sheffield. Call him "Ryan Sheffield" or something. His "Ryback" name in developmental was pretty...interesting.

He doesn't look like he could be related to

that site says Daniel Bryan is gone too

what What WHAT

:wtf: Well....FUCK!

Gotta be a work. Please. Can't believe I want Danielson in WWE, but I wanna so where this NXT angle goes

<font color=goldenrod>This has to be a work.

In fact, I can see the other rookies except Barrett being "released" this weekend. Spreading them out adds effect.</font>

they fired daniel bryan, but bryan danielson is still with them

True, but if its not a work.....:|

this is a great way to add to kayfabe and keep the interest in the angle

Yeah it has to be a work to bring in Brian Danielson. So WWE using the internet... hmmm get the IWC up in a roar and then...

ah man that is clever. I like it.

Barrett had mentioned the winds of change way back and there are a few I would suggest name alterations but not for all of them some are fine the way they are.

This is not a work, every time someone gets fired someone says its a work and it never is.

He shouldn't have spat in Cena's face.

<font color=goldenrod>NXT made constant references to the internet...Danielson is the easy target to make this angle enter the real world.

The ONLY reason I would see him being fired otherwise was if they were pissed at him for choking out Justin Roberts and/or spitting on Cena, both of which were cut out when the angle was replayed throughout the week.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>If he was fired for one of those reasons, he wouldn't have worked the FCW event and played a huge part in the storyline.</font>

Maybe Daniel Bryan is going to TNA? Maybe that's the surprise?

Excellent storyline.

They're gonna bring him back as Daniel Cole, and reveal he was Michael Cole's brother all along.

<font color=goldenrod>The only awkward thing is that they kept saying on commentary that none of them were contracted - sans Barrett. Then WWE.com says he was released from his contract, despite not supposed to have one.

Anyway, I'm hella intrigued now. I was wondering if WWE would ever use their website to conduct fake firings.

If Otunga, Gabriel, Slater, Sheffield, Young, and Tarver follow on WWE.com throughout the weekend, we'll know it's a work for sure - so I kinda think it'll just stay Danielson.</font>

WWE is obviously about fucking with the IWC lately, so of course it's Danielson first. Just to get everyone talking. Others will probably be "released" soon

I am sure it's a work but if not that is horrible.

I will avatar bet all of you that this is not a work

<font color=goldenrod>What I'm interested in seeing is if the other rookies get released over the weekend, will their real names be acknowledged in the press release too?

Using Danielson's real name is fine, since everybody knows it and they've even acknowledged it on air. But it'd be confusing as fuck if they changed everybody else's names (sans Otunga, who uses his real name anyway)</font>

i think its real...fucked up reasons to be released tho, cause supposably not that many people knew about it..

according to the largest faggot in the world, i mean ryan clark, he "failed a drug test and refused to go to rehab click here for more"

Was not aware of this. May be gone then. As much as it added to the moment, you know WWE doesn't want their golden boy disrespected like that.


Oh yeah, or people choked the fuck out.

Maybe Vince is worried he freaked out the kids and their parents. :?:

<font color=goldenrod>If WWE were pissed off at him for doing that, they'd make him the jobber in the group or something. They wouldn't just fire him and fuck up the entire storyline by having all of these unemployed guys showing up even though WWE.com says they have contracts cause Daniel Bryan got fired.</font>

While I see your point, wasn't he the jobber of the group already anyway? :p

read somewhere else that his release is all part of the NXT storyline

<font color=goldenrod>Also, Danielson saying "The winds of change are blowing" on his Twitter...not exactly something I'd be saying if I had just been released during the middle of a huge storyline.</font>

I had actually posted a title as a joke, then this appeared on WWE.com:

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/14734694

WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors.

Probably a work.

Why wouldn't it be a main feature on the front page?

That's from wiki, take it or leave it.

They don't do that with most talent. It's usually hidden away in "WWE News". Did that with the last wave of releases and pretty much everyone for the past two years.

Probably 100% real.

<font color=goldenrod>Gotta applaud WWE here, assuming it is a work (which I'm 95% sure it is).

This is the perfect way to do it. In the world of kayfabe, all of them deserve to be fired (hence, I'd have to think the others will get fired in time) - but cutting them all in one press release would be an obvious work. Doing it gradually and starting with the guy that would generate far and away the most buzz, is awesome.</font>

I certainly hope whoever left The Undertaker in the vegitative state gets released too. Or is spitting on Cena worse?

Yea but those are real releases. How many people do they think are going to actually find this?
I suppose they're just relying on the internet fans to do the promotion.

Come on guy, 'Takers situation is obviously part of a story, spitting on Cena not so much

Maybe they kayfabe released him, to introduce this totally new guy Brian Danielson, who wears not red trunks, but blue.

Don't they not even have contracts to be released from in kayfabe?

Yeah that's all I can figure. It's to piss of internet fans, assuming it's not legit.

If it's legit, wow, WWE are fucking idiots.

I'm not sure I've interacted with you much, but are you really that fucking thick to believe I'm being serious.

Now redeem yourself and support a Tazz Dan Moderation. :mad:

It's also in line with WWE releasing talent late on a Friday.

It would really suck if this was real and the reason was for spitting on Cena. You never know with Vince.

Every company makes their firings on friday to reduce the chances of any kind of workplace incidents

In this case, they were too late.

What's the story with him spitting on Cena?

FCW developmental contracts?

Bleh?

You know how the internet and sarcasm go together so well.

And NEVERRRRRRRRRR

He spit on Cena and said "You're not better than me" on RAW.

After Chris Benoit they obviously don't want to take any chances.

But the bigger deal about that is that that part and him choking Roberts were cut out of replays

People arguing that this is not a work do have some good points, but I still think it's most likely a work. Still a good idea though, if it is in fact a work.

<font color=goldenrod>Well, I was thinking that too - but in NXT did they ever explicitly say they were competing for a contract? I know they were competing for a PPV title match, but I thought it was implied that they were all signed to WWE and could still wind up getting brought to Raw or SmackDown or something.

Who knows. If this is a work though, I'd be a bit miffed if they DIDN'T "fire" anybody else, just cause it doesn't make much sense.

I'd fire all of them except for Barrett...then SHOCK OF SHOCKS - they all show up to help him win the WWE Title at Fatal 4 Way or something.</font>

Everything about the presentation is legitimate. It's common sense that says it's a work.

So apparently you're being sarcastic with that being the reason. Ok nevermind.

You have just made a powerful enemy. :mad: :mad:




Ok, not so much enemy, but still. Just don't tell anyone it's a work on my part.

Worried about this coming back to haunt Linda's Senate campaign perhaps? :shifty:

If tomorrow afternoon rolls around, and they haven't "future endeavored" another NXT rookie, the IWC is really gonna start to sweat

That may have more to do with the ridiculous look on his face while he was being choked.

Really? I don't see anyone from the IWC believing this and running around updating their fb status' ...... :shifty:

I would think thats a typical "I'm being fucking choked" face

lol @ this entire thread

Who says kayfabe is dead???

:rofl:

:lol:

Dunno about anyone else but when I saw it a first I laughed at it tbh he kinda oversold it in my estimation.

lol if Danielson really was choking him and that's why he was released.

I would think he would've been released the next day.

Yeah it was ridiculous, but I think it may have come from surprise as to how Bryan was choking him. Really did look as if he was doing some damage there

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, he would have probably been fired immediately - and certainly wouldn't have worked Wednesday's FCW show.

Plus, although the guys at ringside weren't told what was going to happen, I'd have to think they clued him in when they were grabbing him/ripping off his shirt/etc. what was going to happen. He could have said no.</font>

Now that I think about that, maybe that's why Cole ran off.

<font color=goldenrod>Within WWE, the word has been sent out internally that the Bryan Danielson firing is legitimate. All the higher-ups in the company were informed that he was gone before the item that everyone assumes to be a work was put on the web site. It's difficult to believe given the timing that it could possibly be legitimate. The idea they would work Donna Goldsmith and Michelle Wilson on a wrestling angle is also hard to fathom, and we've already seen examples of companies trying to work its employees and they are never good in the long-run.

Holy shit.

Don't think it's been mentioned in this thread, but those who are basing the "it's a work" argument on it saying Daniel Bryan was released, should check out the news posting itself:

Though it could just as easily be something to just add to the realism. We'll see in a couple days, I guess

Wow, they're really doing their best to pull a Dan Brown hear with the "this is legitimate" thing. I'm convinced this is all just an elaborate work.

Wow, this is getting pretty nuts. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

<font color=goldenrod>WWE are absolute fucking geniuses if they went to this on a work. And if it's real, well, then they just ruined the best angle they have had in 10 years and my excitement for the product has dropped as fast as it went up since Monday.

Can't wait to see where this leads.</font>

I feel like if it was real, they wouldn't have went out to their way to say "NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson)". Hello redundancy.

Do we put the IWC on suicide watch now, or wait a few days?

...what? They mentioned where he'd be known from (similar to a superstar from RAW or Smackdown) his on-screen name and his real name, same as they've done before

Yeah, why is that redundant? That is who he is.

Anyways, since the beginning of this I have been going under the assumption that this is real. I wonder what the deal is.
