I'm sorry the WWE pulled the plug on the Daniel Wyatt experiment. I was fascinated with what could have been a great storyline. They could have done so much with it.

Uh, no, not yet, King. AWA stuff won't be available yet, which is why I'm waiting. I can't wait to watch those old Blackwell, Ventura, Crusher and Mad Dog matches.
I am not sure, but wasn't that match on a Lawler ran Memphis show? So would that be a AWA or USWA/CWA match? That being said, I don't even remember if WWE owns the Memphis stuff.
Originally posted by whateverI was curious how the youngest would take this development, given her attachment to the Wyatt family. By the end of the viewing, both daughters were standing in the family room loudly chanting 'YES! YES! YES!' along with the crowd. They *loved* it.
IJ and I just watched this tonight. And she is SO happy that Daniel Bryan is out of the Wyatt Family that her Daniel Bryan-action figure that was a Xmas gift FINALLY gets to be off the Floor of Shame™.
On the other hand, you maybe surprised to learn that, in order, these are IJ's top-5 "holy shnapples" moments of the show.
1. Randy Orton beats the crap out of John Cena Sr. "Aw, I *like* John Cena Sr." - IJ
2. KOFI KINGSTON BEAT RANDY ORTON CLEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. (Honestly I don't know if this was from Randy losing or Kofi winning something, but her jaw hit the floor when Kofi got the win.)
3. Bryan kicks Bray Wyatt's ass. (This would've been higher, except I think her 11-year old brain had a hard time processing the whole thing in real time.)
4. The New Age Outlaws bail on CM Punk.
5. Roman Reigns' Leaping Dropkick of Sheer Awesomeness to Punk from outside the ring.
(OK, I lied. #5 is mine.)
Holy fuck shit motherfucker shit. Read comics. Fuck shit shit fuck shit I sold out when I did my job. Fuck fuck fuck shit fuck. Sorry had to do it....

Misc etc sites are now reporting that not only does Bryan remember very little of what happened during (and after) the matc), the concussion is more serious than originally thought. They're all quoting from F4Wonline (which I do not have a subscription to, sadly), so the original source I guess is reputable.
Now some folks on the "newz" sites are saying that they may need to re-plan the booking of a whole bunch of stuff they had planned.

Ah, that's just the filler you add to pad out your newz paraphrase. F4's report was just that he has a concussion and some talent thought it seemed to be a serious one because of the memory loss.

I was glad they showed this like four times a row. He didn't even fall after he completed this kick, either! What a cool move and it looked awesome even in slow motion.
It's kind of mindblowing how well Reigns is coming together as their next big thing. I don't think they've had a can't miss prospect like him since...well, ever. Even Rock, Austin and Cena started out in gimmick purgatory. Reigns has got signature spots to rival anything those three had in their arsenal at this stage in their WWE runs.

What did she think of the NAO before that?
She was into them. She's seen them a bunch on Youtube and walks around going "your FIVE TIME WWE TAAAAAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOOOOOOOORLD." She also thought it was cool that they were at the Slammys. And that they both have weird hair.
As an aside, thanks, WWE for bringing back Too Cool for Old School Raw. Because even a week later IJ saying "Grandmaster Sex-aaaay" is hilarious.

Agreed! The girls loved seeing The Worm (which happens to be a favorite of their Grandma as well) live, and could not believe that Rikishi was the Usos' Dad.

Why did CM Punk need the Outlaws as tag team partners in the first place? As has been proven in the past, Super-Punk can beat all three members of The Shield on his own, right?
I don't consider Mr. Bryan Alvarez a true Rumored Wrestlemania Card Rumors-level source like his partner, but his account of the Daniel Bryan goings-on is too fun not to share.
Daniel's emancipation was supposed to play out like that but come later. There were two Wrestlemania matches being talked about, one with Daniel on a team against the Wyatts and one where he was on a team with them and would break free after the match. It is here I recall Meltzer's talked about scenarios for Hogan, one being Cena & Hogan vs. Bray & Bryan (perhaps the weirdest pair of teams of all time) and one being Cena, Hogan, and Bryan as a team vs. the Wyatts.
Obviously those plans have changed. WWE was "100% FULLY EMBARRASSED" by the Michigan State footage taking off while they were confusing the issue on their TV and realized they needed to turn him back to his primary super-popular character ASAP.
"The whole backstage was in awe," one source who was backstage at Raw said regarding the final reaction. "Vince loves Bryan."
The new idea for Mania ... is to try to get 75,000 crazy people to all be going "YES!" at the same time.

Yeah damn it. We're gonna win this.
This guy on Yahoo Sports is by and large a joker (IMHO), but he pretty much called this a few days ago:
I'm a bit concerned about how he is after the concussion though. Usually they give updates on these things, but I haven't seen anything online about his status - except he got pulled from a house show today.
Obviously he's going to factor into Wrestlemania, but it seems weird that they're giving updates on Ziggler and nothing on their current most popular guy.
Originally posted by Amos CochranNo, not at all. He narrowly squeaked a win over them due to miscommunication then high-tailed it.
That was at TLC. Since then Punk has continued to defeat The Shield in numerous house show main events - 1 on 3! Just check the latest house show results.
