I am totally worked over right now by WWE. They have me in the palm of their hand.

Danielson in that video doesn't strike me as someone with the threat of being fired hanging over him so I think we can safely say that, if true, this decision was made Thursday or Friday - based on this so-called complaint from a third party.
I'd hate to be talent in the WWE right now, one wrong move and you may not even know it was a wrong move for several days. |

If it was for being too stiff with Cena, then Sheffield should also be gone due to his Murder by Lariat of Cena.

It's gotta be a work. Or at least all signs point to it being a work.
1) If the choking thing was such a huge deal that was taken so seriously that a one time use would get a guy fired, then surely WWE would want to phase out chokeslams as well. They'd probably want to shy away from sleeper holds too. But they haven't. 2) Danielson worked an FCW show on Wednesday. They cut the Roberts clip out from NXT on Tuesday. If a guy's in trouble and in danger of losing his job, you don't let him keep working. You suspend him pending further investigation. 3) Danielson was way too calm on his Twitter for a guy who got fired. 4) The release is not on the WWE Corporate site. Carlito's is. 5) The higher ups thinking it's real means nothing. They work for a wrestling company. They can play along too. 6) Only a handful of people knew about the NXT invasion on Raw in order to add to the realism. So if realism is the goal, hey why not keep everyone in the dark on this too? Of course I could be dead wrong, but I highly doubt it. |

I think it's not a work, because I don't think WWE would want to use the Benoit rule as part of a storyline to get some guy or storyline over.
I say 75% that it's legit. I wouldn't fire him over it, but I would damn sure tell him not to do it ever again. |

It seems like the type of thing that would get you in hot water, but wouldn't get you fired. It would be the most ridiculous thing ever if what you guys are saying is true.
If it was, then I'll eat my words and probably lose a substantial amount of interest in WWE. But it's a work. |

I don't think the WWE is using the Benoit rule though. That's one of the scenarios the IWC has seemed to cook up in their panic over this being potentially legit

If it IS a work, I don't exactly know how they kayfabe-wise explain how a guy without a contract still managed to get fired, but we'll see. Raw is a must-watch this week, for certain. |

Suprised nobody has suggested that Vince's black eyes have something to do with this being real, and started up a shitstorm of speculation and panic on that front.

Because this was done to screw with the IWC. The IWC all knew Danielson was under contract and that he wasn't actually competing for a spot in WWE.

The only things that point to it being real would be that thinking WWE masterminding and IWC viral marketing campaign for their latest storyline seems to be giving them too much credit.
That's the thing here. What they're doing is something they've never done before. I wouldn't fret though, because it's a work. |

I still refuse to believe WWE would fire somebody because of a choke. If anything they'd post a message on WWE.com saying "We apologize for those offended by the graphic content when -insert content here-" or whatever.
Just doesn't feel like a "one strike and you're out" type deal, especially somebody with the experience and credibility of Danielson. If it was any other NXT rookie I could maybe see the intolerance, but not with him. |

so they were told to go out there...destroy everyone and everything....OBVIOUSLY didn't give anyone a list of things NOT to do...then fire a man for doing what he was told. NICE JOB.

I'm sorry but I don't buy that being Justin Robert's natural reaction.
He played the role, even though it was against the 'rules'. |

Kevin Dunn and the camera production cut right to it with a close up. They made a boo boo too.
Seriously, that's the type of thing that gets you a slap on the wrist or a trip to the "doghouse", or a fine, or at the very most a suspension. I can never in my wildest dreams see that being cause to fire a talent, especially one that they have plans for. Kudos to whoever cooked up this scenario and the Benoit "rule" though. They've created a shitstorm. |

Yeah, did Justin Roberts come out and say he didn't know he was going to be attacked? Seems like everyone just jumped to that conclusion.

WWE may end up being responsible for destroying the internet when every internet wrestling message board crashes simultaneously if he returns.

How would Jerry Lawler know to lie uselessly under a table after taking like two punches unless he knew? The guy doesn't regularly go to meetings.

Think the reports stated that only Cena and the NXT rookies knew what was going to happen to garner the 'real life reaction', hence why Cole ran off.
The more I think about things though, the more I think the real reason hasn't been divulged. If Danielson updates his Twitter before Monday, it's legit. if he doesn't, I'm sure he's showing up. |
