It was so exciting to watch Daniel Bryan bust out with his move set. He didn't miss a beat!

Agree. Bryan/Shane vs. Owens/Zayn is ALMOST enough to make me want to see Wrestlemania.





Almost.

 

[cyclone]

So happy for Daniel Bryan. Let's hope he gets the push and the title reign he deserves.

RE Bryan/Shane vs Owens/Zayn, it's good fun but it's a bit blah. No way Bryan loses at WrestleMania on his big comeback, and Owens and Zayn losing is a bit harsh on them. It doesn't bury them but hopefully it ends this stupid story-line with them vs the WWE company.

Watched the Ultimate Deletion and Vince clearly getting Cole to bury that whole segment is just a d*ck move. Let's be honest and call that what it is - Vince asserting his ego. He doesn't 'get' it or Matt's character, so he just wants it done. Matt vs Bray at Mania is going to happen, and Matt's going to lose because he left Vince and became popular by himself, and Bray is his creation. Can see it coming a mile off.

 

[X Knight]

so Bryan is cleared to return to full competition?

 

[SuperBatman]

I think they made a mistake about Offically announcing it before the attack. ust think of the impact that he wasn't cleared and that attacked happend without people knowing WWE cleared him. That being said good for Daniel I gotta admit I did kinda cringe when he was doing those drop kicks and he was landing on his head.

Also did anybody see Miz's Twitter about DB being Cleared? Yeah they really need to touch on that maybe at SUmmerslam.

 

[Dr. Evil]

so Bryan is cleared to return to full competition?

Yes

 

[Dr. Evil]

Wrestling Inc.'s Raj Giri just says that he liked the WWE issuing the press release of Bryan being cleared because it proves legitimacy and not a storyline.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The best wrestler in the world being back is the best news wrestling has provided me in a long time. t:

They couldn't do that. Too much was made of how serious his situation was to just let him be attacked. This isn't a back injury.

 

[javonstokess]

I'm more than okay with the current Daniel/Shane vs. Owens/Zayn potential WM match, but man...


Had the Miz still been on Smackdown that feud would have been AMAZING!!!

Meh.....it was a special moment regardless, would have preferred to live in the moment without knowing they were going to assault him but I can understand their reasoning for announcing it. At least I wasn't cock teased this time like I was when they teased him getting physical with Shane.

It does feel a bit like them wanting their cake and eating it too as well though. Suits them at different times to be viewed as a generic entertainment show on TV and then others to come across as "legitimate".

 

[X Knight]

Yes

great!

No way. I might have not even watched SmackDown had the announcement not been made. WWE needed this to boost morale amongst fans. The Mania card might be pretty good, but the build is lacking and WWE must feel it.

 

[Doug_Moore]

In 2013, Stone Cold started his Podcast show on there and jump started the trend for almost every wrestler to have one.

Fast forward 5 years later and they've lost a lot of great talent on there: Bill Goldberg, Jesse Ventura, Jim Ross, Roddy Piper, Chris Jericho, and Vince Russo.

Once a great network is now becoming a sinking ship like TNA. WTF?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I read that Russo got dumped by Podcast One because he was going after Ryan Satin's girlfriend on his show and she was getting death threats from his listeners. That's not even talking about all the other Steve Bannon like stuff Russo has been saying on his show for awhile now.

More and more I am completely understanding why Jim Cornette hates him.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Speaking of Vince Russo, a part of me wants him vs. Matt Riddle in a "Bro on a Pole" match where the loser no longer says "bro" for the rest of his life.

 

[Doug_Moore]

I read that Russo got dumped by Podcast One because he was going after Ryan Satin's girlfriend on his show and she was getting death threats from his listeners.

That's what I read too, but I have yet to see Satin provide any evidence of this. No wonder Jericho and Meltzer hate this TMZ reject.

 

[Wheels]

My problem with Vince Russo is he`s a troll towards wrestling fans, and not in a good natured ribbing way, he's just an a-hole.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So what are the odds Brie Bella gets a "Thank You Brie" chant based of Bryan's speech on Smackdown Live when Brie returns?

 

[Wheels]

Conrad Thompson has done dudes a soild with the Roll Tide thing. I can't explain it but I always feel like a jackass after saying a woman is hot.

 

[TheVileOne]

Not going to feel sympathy for Vince Russo, especially after this:

So I have come to the conclusion if you are part of the NXT crowd, the people who were in Orlando, the ‘This is Awesome’ crowd, you fall in three categories. Its this simple, bro. You’re either A) homosexual. Okay, you like men. For you to react this way, you have to like men. B) You’re either no homosexual but have homosexual tendencies. Or C) You’re in the closet. Its that simple bro, because men do not react to other men that way. It’s not a normal function. Bro, I had someone tweet me after I made a tweet that Finn Balor has to hit the gym. Bro, I literally had a guy send me a picture of Finn Balor with his shirt off. Bro, you are probably a homosexual. If you are searching the internet for pictures of Finn Balor without his shirt on, and taking his time to send it to me, you fall in one of these categories.

It's Vince Russo. He doesn't deserve anyone's defense. Even if he did nothing wrong.

For all we know the latest thing could've been the last straw with PodcastOne.

 

[vantheman77]

Vince Russo posted a video update that Podcast One offered him to return after a miscommunication, but he declined and that he's returning to Relm Network starting tomorrow.

It wasn't just about this thing with Ryan Satin. According to Russo, his show Castrating The Marks had high listening numbers but no revenue from Podcast One.

 

[Wheels]

Russo just strikes me as wanting to be a heel to the "smarks" He exaggerates his actual opinion to bug people. To me it's lame when people in the business do that crap on their podcasts. They come off like certain fans who come up with crappy worked beefs so they can play wrestler on YouTuue. These people were in the business. You don't need to do fanboy **** on your podcasts to get listeners.

 

[chamber-music]

Russo hates smarks and really NXT smarks in particular.

Russo genuinely believes smarks are killing the wrestling business. He thinks kids today don't know wrestling is fake and you can win back casual mainstream audiences with big muscled top guys.

Russo got triggered by the crowds booing Cena & Roman Reigns and cheering for Balor & Nakamura.

He's an utter clown and no better illustration than the reaction Bryan got on Tuesday.

It's hard to make me want to side with Satin, like....really hard, but I'm behind him on this one.
