Im still not buying any of his photos at comic cons.

Every DiBiase has to have a Virgil. It's some kind of unwritten rule or something.

for every generation, a Dibiase gets a Virgil.

How about Bret Hart as the U.S. Champion? Personally, I love it.

I fucking hate it. He can't wrestle anymore. Its patronizing him and the fans. It's a joke title anyway.

So I've been watching a bit of wrestling and I gotta say the WWE has impressed me. I love the Hart Dynasty. Some good matches on RAW.

Holy ass-crackers! Now that's an ending.

Last nights angle was freaking awesome. I didn't see it live, but as soo as I heard about it I wanted to see it. The angle reminded me a lot of the ROH vs. CZW war

I hope Daniel Bryan finally changes his name back to Bryan Danielson with this heel turn. I loved every minute of this and I hope they don't dick this up.

Been a long time since I was shocked by an ending, but that certainly did the trick. Wow, congratulations WWE you got me with that one, I in no way saw that coming.

Just an incredible ending, not sure what else needs to be said about it.

I just hope they run with this angle and not forget.

That ending was so freaking amazing. My main problem was why the hell didn't any of the wrestlers in the back come in for the save? Made no sense.

Looks like the WWE fought back the next night:

WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors.

I'm praying that it's a work.

^^^ Word is that it isn't a work (hopefully that's wrong) From what I've read he was fired because he choked Justin Roberts with his tie durring the end of Raw.

that fucken sucks!

Did they edit that part out of Smackdown because I was looking for it and you can barely tell what Brian Danielson did and Justin Gabriel was the first to throw that punch. And now its not even on youtube.

That stinks big time.

^I read that as well, I saw it as he was just doing his job. I liked that the guy was choked, it was pretty fucking hilarious to tell the truth. Someone should make that moment a part of their sig.

Report: Danielson release from WWE legitimate

According to a report by The Wrestling Observer, the word sent out internally within WWE was that the Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) release was legitimate and the announcement of his departure on WWE.com was as legit as any other release from the company would be.

All of the WWE "higher-ups" in the company were reportedly informed he was gone before it was posted on WWE.com. Given the timing, many were finding it hard to believe. However, the idea the company would work its own employees for an angle was another thing taken into consideration over the news. The creative team was also informed on Friday that Danielson was gone.

The latest on Bryan Danielson's release from WWE is that people who needed to know were told Danielson was cut for choking ring announcer Justin Roberts with his tie during the "NXT invasion" angle on Monday night. The shot involving Roberts was edited from replays of the show. The only thing that is being discussed right now is that WWE felt choking with a tie was too violent for what is allowed on television right now. From all accounts, Danielson was described as being well liked backstage.

John Cena posted the following comments on Twitter:

I am very upset to hear about the release of bryan danielson. Social networks were formed so people would have a voice, and an opinon. I Know you all have your own, theories and whatnot. I respect that. I have never asked any of you to feel a certain way about me. But Bryan left a lasting impression on the wwe universe in a very short time, and although it came at my expense, I agree with the majority Of you who are caught off guard by this choice.

I know I'm not exactly appreciated by all, nor do I care to be, but I believe what I believe. I would like bryan to come back to the wwe. I would like to sign your petition to bring him back. I was taught to stand up for what I believe in. I tried and failed, so I could Use some help. Tell me how to sign and I will. If for nothing else, to at least have a chance to have a match with him after what was done.

Jim Ross posted the following on www.JRsBarBQ.com:

"I was surprised to get up Saturday morning and to read that Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson had been released from WWE. I am not sure of the exact circumstances and until that information is confirmed it's hard to make any definitive comments. Bryan is a talented wrestler who is not going to have any trouble finding work. His in ring style is unique, the young man has certainly paid his 'dues,' what ever that means now days, and he's arguably the most talked about performer on NXT. Certainly Bryan leaves WWE with momentum and with more fans knowing his name than at any point in his career. Plus, who is to say that Bryan will never return to WWE? There may be a great deal more to this matter than any of us know or, honestly, need to know at this time."

^ I'm sorry but that's not a good enough reason to fire someone.

Right. Its pretty stupid. I hope its a work and they bring him back as the leader.

DickGrayson007 wrote:^ I'm sorry but that's not a good enough reason to fire someone.

Oh, I agree. I loved the guy and I saw such potential with him. I wanted to see him feud with the Miz and see Michael Cole in the Miz's corner. It would have been awesome and now it's not going to happen sucks big time.

The second I heard this I offically lost all interest in the NXT Invasion angle, without Danielson on board who the hell should I give a crap about? None of the other NXT guys are worth a damn.

This had better be a work otherwise I am seriously close to dropping Raw from my viewing schedule due to stupidity.

They already f---ked up the angle. Damn you WWE!

I dropped the show a while ago. There are much better things to watch on monday nights. Just do what I do; read the results and if anything sounds cool look it up on youtube the next day.
