Casey Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 so Mike Johnson is saying WWE is holding the status of Daniel Bryan's injury close to the vest and aren't saying a word about it to anyone. That's... not good, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's... not good, surely? That's how they treat most injuries now. I'm not sure why there seems to be no rhyme or reason for the injuries they disclose for some wrestlers, like Big E, but others they stay tight lipped about.

Casey Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 If it wasn't anything brain related you'd think they'd release the info to stop rampant speculation, though. His story was pretty high profile at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Meltzer was saying something similar this morning re: Bryan. Basically anytime he gets injured and they don’t talk about it, he gets concerned (He said Sasha Banks is the other one in that category too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see a gigantic Viking nwo loot and pillage their way through the company. Luke Harper also, if he didn't just ask for his release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I wish El Generico could take a break from running the orphanage to shut this Sami Zayn character up. Maybe Generico doesn't trust Kevin Steen with all those kids. I guess I can understand that. KILL STEEN KILL isn't a message you want to pass on to impressionable young minds. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was liking Sami's heel turn after saving KO during the match vs. Shane. This feels very blasé so far. Since last fall, we've seen similar heel runs with Ambrose claiming to be the moral compass and Bryan accusing the fans of being fickle. Ambrose's was awful while Bryan hit a home run with his. Match wise, I think the only Sami match I take over a Generico match is when he won the NXT title from the man formerly known as Adrian Neville.

SirSmUgly Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'm just getting caught up with this Viking Experience thing, which apparently is so dumb that it's getting penetration in geek-adjacent media, and all I have to give is my own crappy alternative to this naming: The Raiding Party - Erik Jotunheim and The Dane. Mostly because I think calling someone just "The Dane" is dope as fuck, don't ask me why. And I bet if I plug this shit into a game of EWR, it'll get over, too.

I thought his first CD and Comedy Central Presents "Harmful if Swallowed" was funny. I wasn't crazy about much of his stuff after that, but I hear he's grown a lot as a comedian over the last several years. I also feel for the guy, losing both parents to cancer in about a year and getting fucked out of a lot money by his brother, who was his manager.

Glad you brought up Sami Zayn vs. Adrian Neville at NXT TakeOver: R-Evolution 2014, that's a great match. I'd also recommend Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT TakeOver: Dallas 2016.
