"Funny don't equal money"

I think there is big money in a Daniel Bryan act with a more serious edge. Shit, he's already a top guy being a goofball.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Its hyperbole to say he's Eric Young...but he could be a lot more than he is now as a character.

IMO, the only way he gets over as a serious act is if he drops the beard, the Daniel Bryan name and just says he's Bryan Danielson and lets the WWE air the original Danielson-Cena video from whenever.

They know that's where the money is too. They are hinting throughout this build the "i'm a wrestler, you're a sports entertainer" thing. They've done it and it's gotten over, then immediately he's back to screaming YES YES YES and being called a troll. WWE KNOWS what to do with him but they just can't help themselves.

Reading about the possibility of Smackdown going to three hours.

If it means that it will include more than five matches and lesss recap of what happened on RAW, I'm all for it. I still see only 6-7 matches a night and too much recap. They need to truly make it stand apart. Use promo time on RAW to promote the main event for the week. Give some of the roster more time in matches earlier on. Stop making it essentially a show that rehashes RAW.

But who am I kidding? WWE gonna WWE.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I can not wrap my head around the idea of their weekly episodic program being longer than fucking pay per views.

I dont watch much smackdown but ... Raw has been amazing since they have shifted Smackdown to being the B show. I agree they need to use the show to highlight some of the NXT guys or put on some superstars rematches ... but really it should be an infomercial for Raw and the PPVs

I miss Shane-O-Mac.

The Wyatt Family is a major Triple H project right now and the feeling is that they're getting ready for a big push, in a sense they're being groomed for The Shield's spot. There is a lot of talk about The Shield being moved down. With recent Triple H projects like Kharma and Sin Cara bombing, he's likely going to go hard with The Wyatts.

Dont mind them being elevated.. but not at the expense of THE SHIELD.. whos really lost all their steam.

Word is that Eddie Edwards, Davey Richards and Midwest indy wrestler Prince Mustafa Ali will be attending the WWE tryout camp at the end of this month.

Darren Young likes the D.

Smart guy, he'll never be future endeavored now.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

TMZ just happens to catch Darren Young of all people in an airport, and they just happen to randomly ask him a random question about gay wrestlers, and he just happens to decide now is the perfect time to come out, when WWE just happens to be in the second biggest city in the U.S. for their second biggest show of the year which features a guy making $5M per year to wrestle three matches who just happened to not move the needle enough to cover his nut the last time he worked a PPV.

 

[JayDizzle]

Good for Young as a person.

Professionally? I expect some ostracisation in the locker room when the cameras aren't on.

Also, given the toxic fan base in certain area when it comes to a topic like this... he may not go on tour under threat of some crazy who's looking to harm a gay person.

Then again, Young could just be sent on a TV tour on all the major stations to tell his life story so the company looks good for keeping an open-and-out man on the payroll.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

If Young is actually gay, the guys in the locker room have probably known about it for a while.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I'm not saying he isn't gay, I'm saying its no accident he came out when he did.
