I don't think it will. An argument with Vince, maybe. Someone like Triple H if anything would respect Bryan for trying and wanting to carry on. He's done the same thing himself.

Angron · 19-06-2013 12:48pm

Yeah, good point.

It won't going by subsequent reports. Hunter likes and respects Bryan to the nth degree and has major plans to push him.

I kind of held off posting about it as I know what exactly I make of it but with all the on screen injury talk and discussion it seems like WWE is creating a new kayfabe of sorts.

Tinie · 19-06-2013 12:53pm

Thats the first time ive heard anyone mention guerilla in kayfabe in WWE.

Ando's Saggy Bottom · 19-06-2013 1:03pm

Wonder is this somehow tying into they concussion angle Hunter had a few weeks ago.

WWE have us guessing again at least. I like it.

starviewadams · 19-06-2013 1:04pm

Can just use it in the storyline of Bryan thinking everyone see's him as a weak link,now even WWE management!

Michael Hayes usually isn't shown in the role of backstage dude. Usually it is a referee or Teddy Long. Also RAW had Hunter making digs at Creative via Maddox and Vickie mentioning Christian had been cleared to Wrestle for six weeks.

In other words Russo is back. :pac:

Ooooh that's good!
I really hope that Trip doesn't hold it against him. He's a fantastic talent and it would be horrible to see him be thrown to the side because of a small argument.

takamichinoku · 19-06-2013 2:06pm

An argument like that could really help Danielson, imo, they like guys who stick up for themselves in that kind of way, confidence.

This is all one big work to make it look like WWE give a crap about the welfare of their Superstars.

Theres a push going on at board level to improve their image in terms of Wrestler welfare, and they will highlight the crap out of any instance where they "protected" one of their guys from injury.

Ziggler, HHH and now Bryan have all been sat out, in their own best interests.

WWE are probably aware of the sh*t storm they will face once the results of this research being carried out is released, regarding concussions. They are being proactive before the event, even funding the research.

Anything you see now is damage limitation to a certain extent, trying to paint the company in the best possible light.

So do you think they faked all those concussions or something?

no not at all. Dolph seemingly had a legitmate injury.

HHH's "concussion" will more than likely be a work though in order to show how serious they take it now.

Amazing how they care more about welfare when the reputation of the company will come under the spotlight from the mainstream.

starviewadams · 19-06-2013 5:18pm

At the end of the day they are looking out for their talents welfare now,which can only be a good thing no matter what the reason is for them doing so.

Daniel give his side in the most low key way possible:

RVD broke his silence on his RVD Live Podcast concerning his return to the WWE on July's, Money In The Bank pay per view. During his podcast he took one last parting shot at TNA for allegedly not promoting him properly. He said:

"I read this yesterday on some story. It said, 'With one 48-second video, WWE can make RVD mean more than he's meant in the last several years.' I think it's true,"

"The reason I think that's true is because like over the last several years I've had so many people say, 'RVD, you got to get back in the ring. What did you do, retire?'"

"You know, and I'm always promoting, 'No, no, Thursday nights on Spike every week.' And I've done that for three years. I don't know about you, but I get that all the time. All the time. And that's the difference between this and this,"

RVD motioned with his hands that the WWE was at a higher level than TNA.

I've decided to like RVD again. :P

RVD in previous interviews post TNA said they treated him first class.

According to sources, WWE officials are very concerned with Fandango’s recent concussion. He suffered the injury at a SmackDown television taping two weeks ago. Although he initially passed his imPACT test at RAW last week, he is still undergoing WWE’s secondary testing and has not been cleared to return as of this writing.

For those unaware, Fandango has suffered several previous concussions in WWE prior to debuting on the main roster. This was when he was working in NXT/developmental as Johnny Curtis.

DM_7 · 20-06-2013 6:55pm

Not glad he is hurt but i'm happy enough he is off tv. I find the Gimmick painful at this stage. Hate saying it, I always liked Curtis on NXT.

Expect a lot of staff changes as NXT moves from Florida to Orlando.

I am used to saying Florida sorry. The current NXT school is in Tampa and the new Performance Centre is in Orlando.

GTR63 · 21-06-2013 1:17am

Do they still have billy gunn working there?

rovert · 21-06-2013 1:31am

Haven't heard anything to indicate otherwise. The Outlaws wrestled on the house shows the past month.

I was going to say I'd take Lawler over Taz but stopped myself. As bad as Taz is, he is still better than Lawler. But pretty much anyone else will do :pac:

In regards the commentators, neither. It has no place on TV as it makes the girls out to be little more than eye candy. We all know they are hot, we dont need the commentators to be verbally **** over them every week but Taz has improved in that regard since he turned heel.
