Daniel Bryan - Ladies Man
According to Ryan Clark, there are going to be more segments like Monday night's where DBD gets it going with the divas.
I hope Dean Malenko is the agent behind this gimmick. He was the best ladies man - even better than the World's Largest Love Machine. This space for rent |

My only guess would be that this will help get him over or they are going with the always popular "Adam Ryland Effect" Gimmick.

I wish they had a PIP camera on Gabe Sapolsky watching that segment.

I imagine he would be happy for his former worker/friend to be on the flagship show in professional wrestling and getting to act like a dork with a bunch of hot bitches while getting over and making a good chunk of money.

I gotta say, I was happy with the segment. I'm kinda digging the "dork that can still beat the shit out of you" gimmick and that exemplified it perfectly.

I prefer they would just make him a killer wrestling machine that doesn't act so goofy.

In all honesty, Daniel Bryan doesn't have the physique to pull that gimmick off in WWE on a global level. Also, that gimmick has only really gotten over a handful of times the biggest of which ended up being the biggest tragedy to hit wrestling a few years ago.

Yeah, that gimmick has no depth to it. It's basically what Benoit did, and whilst it got him to World Champ level I can't see the same happening for DB.

I'm am just glad they fixed the nameplate on DB's belt this week. That was embarrassing for me to see his name plate dangling off his belt a week or so ago. I can only imagine how they felt when they saw it on RAW.

I think it is good because they probably have nothing for him right now, but it keeps him on TV. Bryan is popular and can wrestle very well. This is just a filler IMO.

I'm personally loving the nerd rage character. I mean, come on, acting like a total nerd, then looking like he's ripping someone's arm off, and then acting like a nerd afterwards. Or when he had Riley in the LeBell lock and was just smiling.
More importantly though, he's getting comfortable on the mic and with the crowds. Basically, he's getting experience, so if they do try to give him a "gimmick" he'll be able to do it better. |

He should be stern, serious, no nonsense. Hell, he comes out to Yoshiaki Fujiwara's music. Being the dancing ladies man kills the vibe.

Third Reich aside,Never has invading a country had such a kickass theme song.
besides Flair comes out to "Also sprach Zarathustra" and Macho Man comes out to "Pomp and Circumstance" both of which have nothing to do with their characters but have come to fit them over time. |

Here we go again with the shoe-horning irrelevant knowledge into a discussion. Maybe 1% of people that watch US wrestling know who Fujiwara is, therefore he - and by association the music he uses - doesn't even come into the equation.

Yeah DLVH84million. I have an extensive knowledge of puroresu, but you don't see me name dropping on here, or spouting off dream matches between american and Japanese stars.
That is because no one here gives a shit. Most wrestling fans in this country, don't give a shit. Also, I would come off like a know-it-all, just like you do. |

The split was a fail. Only Melina and RVD can succeed in that.

Also, I am saying that basically ripping off Benoit's gimmick isn't good especially considering how similar their finishers are and that the media is zoned in on WWE at the moment. |

It got him over to the point where he was a huge face in the cruiserweight division. Malenko unveiling himself at that PPV battle royal got an enormous pop.
That said, we're not talking about a cruiserweight division. We're talking about a guy going up against opponents who have several inches, to over a foot on him. So the badass gimmick doesn't really work here. The mysterio type gimmick is much better suited, where he doesn't seem that threatening, but he's just so good technically, that he can hang with bigger opponents. |
