Yeah, like any wrestler, he can gain special permission from Laurinaitis, which he did.

Quote:
Fanhouse.com asked John Cena about the release of Daniel Bryan:

"Well, the release is legitimate. It was something that I don't understand. It's something that a lot of people are upset about. This is one of those things where ... you know, WWE is a business, and they chose to make a business decision. I think what is right for the WWE Universe to do is show that they have a bit of power. If they really feel so strongly about this subject -- the consumer has the largest voice here, and if they were really serious they should organize their efforts and put forth some body of work. I've even signed petitions to reinstate Bryan Danielson. But if they can get enough numbers to say, 'Listen, we would like this person back on WWE.' Like I said, they made a business decision, but at the same time, they can't deny good business. So if you get 200,000 consumers saying, 'Listen, we'd like to see this person on television,' I don't think the bean counters are gonna ignore the potential dollar signs. I just think all it takes is, all those people to organize under one roof and say, 'Listen, this is how we want to act,' because the uproar you're talking about, I have no spectrum about how big the size is."


So fishy... :glare:

couldn't it be something simple like danielson wanted to use his own name, but the wwe either wanted him to use the daniel bryan or let them trademark the bryan danielson name?

WE would be stupid to not try and sign him again...if I were Danielson I'd tell 'em to stick it though. Fuck with me once shame on you, fuck with me twice shame on me. Plus, I'd much rather see Danielson be used to his full abilities, not as some watered down caricature of his former self.

Bryan Danielson is his real name, they can't trademark that. I wouldn't have thought they'd let him mention his real name at all if they didn't want him to, so they were probably ok with it as a way of getting him over post-NXT.

Would WWE really take that risk if it wasn't a done deal? If he actually does go to TNA, how would WWE look?

Bryan Danielson said he wouldn't go to TNA, remember when TNA try to get him in he said no and this was reported...

#1 WE would look stupider than they currently do, which is saying something (which means it probably won't happen; them trying to re-signing Bryan that is)

#2 People always say that "They'd never go there/never go back there" all the time (re: Bret Hart) so take that with an asterisk and a *BUT beside it

I really doubt it has anything to do with any complaints. In fact, I just found the quote I was looking for a couple of days ago, from JR himself. It's the majority of one of his blogs, worth reading.

Today a friend sent me a link to a wrestling website that posted a anonymous email saying that Daniel Bryan's firing had something to do with Linda McMahon's campaign for the Senate in Connecticut. More specifically this unknown, unidentified person even went so far as to say that Bryan's termination was dictated by the someone of authority in the campaign. First of all, if you knew Vince McMahon as I do you would know immediately how ridiculous that theory was. McMahon taking orders from some outsider? Right.

I've heard some BS in my life and my share of conspiracy theories during my 4 decades in the wrestling business but this one ranks right up there with some of the stupidest theories I've ever heard.

...

My point in this blog is that Linda McMahon has zero to do with the day to day running of the WWE and the WWE being the public company that is it isn't so stupid as to allow a political campaign to influence the hiring or firing of a wrestler, what happens in segment 11, or what's booked on the next PPV.

Linda has been detached from WWE likely longer than most outsiders even know.

I've had plenty of personal issues with WWE, for the record I still think that I should be working on the air, and this blog likely won't endear me to some of the higher ups but let me make this clear....Linda McMahon nor any of her campaign workers or staff have a damn thing to do with how the WWE operates from a business perspective and they never will.

The decisions that are made within the WWE are made in the best interest of a public company. End of story.

For someone to be 'anonymous' and to try and take a cowardly approach to why the mysterious termination of Daniel Bryan took place and to place the blame on a political campaign is simply insane. I have great respect for all fans and their opinions regarding the many complex facets of the business but this one has struck a chord that I felt compelled to address.

This anonymous tip business was just plain stupid and as comedian Ron White says, "You can't cure stupid."

Sorry to go off on a 'political' tangent but the talented Daniel Bryan is no longer in WWE's plans. I've been there and I know how he feels. Like many fans I, too, am personally disappointed in this development and hope that Bryan returns to WWE some day.

However, if the young man does or does not return it will have nothing to do with anyone's senate campaign.

Thanks for indulging me on this one and this will be likely one of the last times that I discuss politics on this site unless it is something that I see on TV that I enjoyed like most weeks of HBO's Bill Maher show.

Good night and thanks for reading.

Boomer Sooner!

I was chatting with Primetimebear and I realized something that made me realize it had to be a legit release.

The WWE would never use anything to do with Chris Benoit for a storyline; even for a fake reason for why they would fire somebody.

I think it was a legit release; but I also think a lot of these things like the Cena blog/tweet/whatever it's called and Shawn Michaels blog are works as it may be an already set agreement behind the scenes with Danielson to soon bring him back.

Yep, I agree. The situation is closely related to Benoit, and not only would they never use anything about him in a storyline, they also take the whole thing super seriously now. So choking someone out means they 'have to' take action. It's quite clear that they didn't want to release him but their hand was forced by their own rules. They've made things as easy as possible for him where outside bookings are concerned (I'd imagine they'd let him go anywhere but TNA) and there's the Cryme Tyme understanding that the door is not only open for a return but the contract is probably all written up and waiting for him.

This is why the wrestling business or maybe just the WWE is stupid sometimes. Okay, if someone does wrong one time, they get fired. Imagine if that was like real life? Say you work at say mcDonalds and you screw up a order, you get fired, thats what the WWE is like. Come on WWE, you should have gave him another chance, god. Ruin the good things about wrestling that are still around WWE. I mean entertainment.

It was a pretty bad mistake to make though. The punishment was only as harsh as it was because anything even remotely related to Benoit is taken overly seriously...unless you're in DX. Usually screwing up just results in being doghoused and demoted to Superstars.

Screwing up one time shouldn't result in much. It's stupid. I don't care. No one even really noticed. I sure as hell didn't. Benoit happened years ago. No one remembers that shit anymore.
