Do you think the United States Dragon will be there

The whole NXT and Daniel Bryan thing is a work, for sure

Where is RAW today? Curious if the fans might care about Daniel Bryan and give him Matt Hardy-esque chants to get him rehired. Of course, even in a "good" city nowadays they probably wouldn't.

Charlotte, North Cakalakee

Oh god, R-Truth's home. :nono:

Woo's up!?

I cant stand R Truth. Too urban

<font color=goldenrod>I'm extremely eager to see where they go with this. My official guess as to what they do tonight will be either they go the normal WWE route and continue on with 7 guys as if nothing happened, OR they will go about this indirectly in a way that doesn't make it clear that they are a man short (using only Barrett tonight, or 2-3 guys, but not the whole stable).

On the off-chance that this is a work (and I don't think it is)...I can't see them blowing their load with it just days later. So yeah, if we actually were to see Danielson tonight, prepare for every wrestling board to crash.</font>

They're in Philly in two weeks. If it's a work, that's where they need to do it. Just have him run in, kick the shit out of Cole then Cena.

But they'd need to keep people guessing. Maybe throw loops, like referencing him indirectly.

My huge question is, where do things stand if they directly or indirectly mention the choke?

<font color=goldenrod>I'd be hella pumped if they reference him in some way, whether he was really fired or not. If they go on with 7 guys and act like he was never there it would be rather gay and be one of the worst instances I've seen of WWE hoping it's audience doesn't remember.</font> :o

It'd be interesting if they brought up Danielson's firing for brutality as a way to introduce the fact that the rookies have been signed to contracts by someone within the company, but not even Vince McMahon himself knows who signed them.

Thing is, the audience probably wouldn't remember. Or at least the majority of it.

NXT wasn't as widely viewed as RAW, so to most people these guys are still just a bunch of random faces and names. They won't notice when one disappears.

I still want to know why the cameraman got a shot of the choke. I guess Danielson wasn't the only one who didn't know about the no-choking-with-objects rule. If the choke hadn't been shown on TV, the firing wouldn't have happened.

BTW, I'm also still unsure whether or not Danielson (and Roberts, for that matter) knew the rule. Could someone clear that up for me?

they reveal it was shane all along

<font color=goldenrod>Nobody knows for sure. I'd also venture to guess that Heath Slater was unaware of the rule, since he got in Roberts' face as he was being choked yelling "HOW DOES IT FEEL?" rather than stopping Bryan. Not to mention the fact that he started to choke Cena with the ropes but Cena rolled over immediately, so he stopped.

Kinda funny to think about. If the roles were reversed, and Slater was fired...despite not liking the guy, I'd still think it was a gay reason to fire somebody in a stable getting a major angle. But we'd all probably be like "Oh that sucks...but lol Slater."</font>

or it was bret behind the whole thing because wrestling is too different than from when he was on top

He couldn't have. Why would he have done the choke if he knew it was against the rules?
And if the cameraman had known it was against the rules, the shot wouldn't have aired on TV.

Is that the same reason why Bret put Taker in a vegatative state? :shifty:

<font color=goldenrod>It still feels like a harsh-ass thing to fire a guy for rather than just suspend, fine, job to Cena in 10 seconds, or anything else.

Shame we'll likely never know the full truth behind who pressured Vince into sacking him, so that he "had no choice". Crazy story.</font>

The camera man just shoots what is there in front of him. Its the director who would make the call to stick on that camera or cut to a different one.

So fire Kevin Dunn.

<font color=goldenrod>lol imagine if smarks happen to be sitting behind the announcers tonight? (Justin Roberts in particular)</font>

"You got choked the fuck out" chants would be amazing.

<font color=goldenrod>Somebody should go to grab Roberts' tie again this week only to be swerved when they find that he's switched to a clip-on</font>

So you guys think Cena will over come the odds tonight?

just watching the video again of the attack, did anyone else notice what looked like a fan ringing the bell?

Look for my guys TPWW sign 8 rows back... My hometown kids...

Ya, a fan rung the bell not once but twice if I remember.

:rofl:

No way, that guy is such a JOBBER! :shifty:

The RAW writers suck!!! SmackDown produces a better show than RAW!!!

now thats funny!

Looks to be an interesting night. Feuerstein is an alright guy, but less screen time, the better.

<font color=goldenrod>Not that this really qualifies as news...but reports are coming out now saying Danielson is nowhere to be found in the script.

Well, no shit. :o Though I don't think it's a work...if it was they wouldn't put it in the fucking script after going through all of this other trouble.</font>

Comin' up on 9PM EST on Monday Night........ Let's Get Ready To Suck It! :D

Havn't completely edited Bryan out yet.

They showed the kick! It's all a fuckin' WORK!!!!!!!!! (I think?)

The kick stayed too.

<font color=goldenrod>Danielson's kick was still there. At least they don't think we're stupid.</font>

He forgot his lines

*most of the other NXT athletes

through the crowd.. love it!

NEW WORLD ORDER

<font color=goldenrod>Pleeeeeease mention him</font>

Oooooh. Coming in from the crowd. How invasion like...

HAHAHAHAHA

<font color=goldenrod>This is pretty awesome.</font>

Alright, I'll admit this is sort of bad ass.

YOU FUCKED UP

Shit Shettfield looks like a mongoloid

Anti Cena has a highly annoying voice

<font color=goldenrod>BRYAN</font>

Interesting

At least they mentioned him.

Well, there it is.

WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well no, I misspoke. Maybe he really WAS fired, but they all know he'll be back.

<font color=goldenrod>lol, there he goes. At least he'll be feuding with Barrett down the line.</font>

So, apparently, Bryan was kicked out in storyline. Huh.

lol, nice twist on why Bryan is gone from the group

Mentioned in passing means it is legit...for now.

Bret might be the worst mic man in the history of the biz.

lol Bret Hart doesn't know what the next PPV is

Well there you go, work or not, Danielson will be back and go against the NXT guys

LOL, so the man who was fired for being too violent was kicked out of the group because he had remorse?

But yeah, either way, it looks like he'll be back at some point, work or not, unless Danielson walks away on his own.

Sweet, let's make them jump through hoops to get them.

Why are they changing in hallways in front of people?

Lulz, 'WWF'

WWF!

:lol: he said WWF.

<font color=goldenrod>lmao Bret is horrible</font>

OOPS!

:rofl:

WWEF, nice one Bret

Wow Brett. Have a night why don't you.

Shit just got real.

well they made this look dumb

I wish that the locker room would empty out of all the Raw roster comes out to clean house of the NXT here.

<font color=goldenrod>lmao imagine the Internet outrage if it comes out tomorrow that they cancelled the storyline due to the lack of Bryan :shifty:

Seriously though, can't wait to see where this goes. Good start.</font>

So basically Bret fired everyone even though only Barrett had a "contract" since he won NXT.

Be nice, guys. He had a stroke, remember? Sure, he fucked up, poor guy, but that doesn't ruin the entire thing. We have to stay tuned.

So what, the NXT guys take out Bret tonight? New GM ends up being Cole, who's behind it all?

Gonna guess that the NXT guys destroy a production truck or some sort of equipment outside the arena later.

fucking weak
