JR's comments are quite interesting, though. If he's right in saying that Vince would never be influenced by an outside source, then that would suggest that firing Danielson was his own call, not "he had no choice."
Still feels un-Vince like to simply fire a guy right after beginning a huge angle, especially since the day after the Nvasion, all signs indicated that everybody in the company was happy about it. We'll probably never see this much controversy over a release again |

And the case can now be closed:
http://twitter.com/bryandanielson "Still not the right time, other than to say this: I am now available for independent bookings." --- In before "it's still a work! he's being allowed to take bookings to work people extra hard!" |

Well, that didn't take long:
Bryan Danielson has been booked for the EVOLVE show on 7/23, and the Dragon Gate USA show on 7/24 Apparently, under the 90-day no compete clause, WWE has to approve of any bookings until it expires. But usually they'll sign off on anything not televised or TNA. So yeah, guess the more bookings we hear about until then, the better of an idea we can get about when he might return. I still think they want him to be back before the NXT angle is over, and since I think it'll end at SummerSlam maybe we'll see him screw over Wade Barrett in a WWE Title match or something. The timing of these bookings would make sense if that were the case, since you figure they'd want him doing some shows shortly before returning to get rid of any ring rust. |

There's so many possible matches for Danielson in the next 90 days. Hopefully Chuck Taylor is his opponent at evolve and Shingo at DGUSA. Beyond that I'd love to see the wwe let his use the Daniel Bryan name for Chikara ala Colin Delaney. It could be a great way to book him as a heel.

Well he ain't being a complete baby about this, or he doesn't know how to use Twitter cos he's still following loads of WWE product. No idea on if they are "following" him.

It seriously looks like a mask to me, just because of the blank stare and expressionless face.

JOHN CENA: 'IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY DIFFICULT FOR WWE AS A BUSINESS ENTITY TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT DANIEL BRYAN WILL BE ABLE TO GENERATE REVENUE'
By Buck Woodward on 2010-06-16 17:49:23 Huge thanks to Chad Mosher, who typed up the following report on John Cena's appearance on the Busted Open radio show on Sirius XM Radio today. He discussed subjects like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, the WWE Championship and his rapping persona but the most interesting aspect was his comments on Bryan Danielson. The interviewers brought up Cena’s Gillette commercial where he struck Mr. McMahon with a chair and asked, “How are you able to hit the CEO…with a chair but Daniel Bryan can’t choke out a ring announcer?.. With the NXT invasion angle… to get rid of Bryan Danielson – you came out on Twitter and said ‘listen, we want this guy back, I’ll sign a petition, where do I sign?’ Really, where does this situation stand, John?” Cena replied with: “It stands where it is. I believe Bryan was given his release, and this is just my belief, it’s complete speculation so basically you’re going off my secondhand knowledge, it’s something to do with violating our PG content agreement which is very serious… It was tough for us to get that [TV-PG] logo in the beginning. For us to violate that content agreement, we get in trouble with our TV providers, we get in trouble with our sponsors, it pretty much is not good business. I think that is the reason upon the Bryan Danielson release but on the same token, for a young man such as him to make an impact on the WWE Universe in that short a time, it says something about who he is as a person and where he belongs amongst our group. “I agree with a lot of folks who think the penalty might have been a little too severe but the best advice I can give everybody… the WWE is a business. That’s why I was one of the names on that petition… But if the fans collectively want this young man back in the company, the only way to do that is the power is within the ticket buyers. If the ticket buyers come out by the fifty thousands, by the hundred thousands and say, listen, we want this young man back, we think he has something to offer, we’re a company that worries about the bottom line. “As far as a fix to the situation, who knows what a fix is gonna be, but I’d put the power in the hands of the consumer. That’s why I was one of the first to sign that petition because I think if you show strong enough belief… it would be very, very difficult for WWE as a business entity to ignore the fact that Daniel Bryan will be able to generate revenue.” --- As much as I hate Cena's character, it's really hard not to like him. Just always seems like a genuine class act. |

I'm not entirely convinced Danielson will be back in 90 days. He could, but there's been nothing to promise that other than rumors. Everyone seems to be clinging to that, and although it's probable, I don't think it would be shocking if it didn't happen for much longer.

The Matt Hardy thing was a total work from the beginning though.

The Matt Hardy thing was not a work. If it were a work, then it would have actually been capitalised on. Hardy would have won the WWE Title that year, because there was not a single thing bigger. They put him in a match with Edge, he got his ass kicked, and Edge got awarded the match. It made Hardy look like a clown. If the Hardy thing were a work, Matt would have gotten disqualified at SummerSlam for kicking Edge's ass too badly.
Bryan Danielson will be back. The WWE will want him back, and Danielson knows that he can make a lot of money there. TNA just isn't the platform. He could return as a bad-ass babyface against the Nvasion (I like that name, actually), or he could return as a heel, complaining that he showed remorse and he was the only one who wasn't hired by the WWE. |

I would bet money that the whole thing was made up to get Edge over, and not Hardy.
And Yes Danielson will be back, but I hope he comes back apart of the NXT stable. |

I don't think so. Edge was already getting pretty over as a heel. Lita also remained a face until the fan backlash began.

Edge wasn't never nearly as over until after that whole thing. Every thing about that was planned.
