BREAKING NEWS: WWE Release Daniel Bryan

[Chrane]

WWE.com:

WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavours.



It is also being reported that Daniel Bryan changed his Twitter name from DanielBryanNXT to Bryan Danielson today.

It is highly likely that his is a FAKE firing apart of the NXT Invasion storyline!

May be it is real as they attacked everyone on Raw.:rolleyes:

The Reason Why Daniel Bryan Was Released - Broke PG Rules!?

It is being reported by various sources that the reason Daniel Bryan was released by WWE was because he broke a WWE rule and went against the WWE PG code of conduct.

The issue WWE had was over Bryan choking ring announcer Justin Roberts during the RAW NXT Invasion with Justin's own tie. The non-choking rule was apparently put in place post-Benoit tragedy which states you cannot use ropes or other objects to choke your opponents.

Many believe this to be a work but as WWE has never staged a fake firing in this way before and made it such a public issue others believe Bryan has been released.

WWE Creative Informed of Bryan Danielson's Release

It is now being reported that WWE creative have been informed of the release of Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) for choking ring announcer Justin Roberts live on RAW during the NXT Invasion. The internal feeling is the angle was too violent for a PG WWE.

WWE are in the process of editing the shot out of all the NXT Invasion footage.

Update on Bryan Danielson

An update on Daniel Bryan's firing: it was due to pressure from an outside source following Monday night's angle. The choking with the tie and spitting in John Cena's face were the two main sticking points, and Vince McMahon is said to have had no choice. It is almost a guarantee that this is not a work, since that would mean WWE had lied to everyone with any power in WWE. They have all been told that Daniel Bryan is gone for real.

It seems very clear that Bryan is being used as a scapegoat. It also appears to me that someone from the outside (not WWE management) was the one who threw a fit and WWE had no choice but to fire him for now.

To recap, here are the key bullet points:

# The Justin Roberts spot was deemed too violent and it led to the firing, in a call made by Vince, but forced upon him by an "outside force who is important"

# Complaints came in very quickly.

# The decision was explained to the merchandise and marketing people, PR team, company doctor before it was announced that it was a legit firing.

# The person who complained was someone from the "outside, important to the company"

# Danielson is being called a "scapegoat"

# No timetable has been given, but he was said to be left with the impression that he would be welcomed back at a later time once things pass over.

# Danielson is now looking for indy dates.

# Danielson has a 90 day no-compete clause.

# With respect to the possibility of Vince working his own employees, he's definitely capable of it, and a much more "insane" situation is currently going on with a much bigger name than Danielson in WWE right now.

# Sources in WWE believe they will lose him to TNA, Once source said they just "made a TNA main eventer"

Another Update on Bryan Danielson/WWE

The latest update on Bryan Danielson is that there is the feeling that he didn't know about the so-called "Chris Benoit protocol" in which the WWE talent are not allowed to use objects to choke each other. The word is that this protocol was talked about heavily in meetings and that while some of the stars who have been around for a few years knew about it, the protocol wasn't something that was regularly talked about. It is also being reported that there is a "lot of sympathy" for Danielson right now.

What was Benoit tragedy?

What was Benoit tragedy?

Did you not hear about how Benoit died back in 2007? If not, I'm highly surprised you didn't.

John Cena Discusses Bryan Danielson's Release

John Cena on Busted Open radio:

When Asked About Bryan Danielson: "It stands where it is. I believe Bryan was given his release, and this is just my belief, it's complete speculation so basically you're going off my secondhand knowledge, it's something to do with violating our PG content agreement which is very serious… It was tough for us to get that [TV-PG] logo in the beginning. For us to violate that content agreement, we get in trouble with our TV providers, we get in trouble with our sponsors, it pretty much is not good business. I think that is the reason upon the Bryan Danielson release but on the same token, for a young man such as him to make an impact on the WWE Universe in that short a time, it says something about who he is as a person and where he belongs amongst our group."

On Fans Wanting Him Back: "I agree with a lot of folks who think the penalty might have been a little too severe but the best advice I can give everybody… the WWE is a business. That's why I was one of the names on that petition… But if the fans collectively want this young man back in the company, the only way to do that is the power is within the ticket buyers. If the ticket buyers come out by the fifty thousands, by the hundred thousands and say, listen, we want this young man back, we think he has something to offer, we're a company that worries about the bottom line. As far as a fix to the situation, who knows what a fix is gonna be, but I'd put the power in the hands of the consumer. That's why I was one of the first to sign that petition because I think if you show strong enough belief… it would be very, very difficult for WWE as a business entity to ignore the fact that Daniel Bryan will be able to generate revenue."

Former WWE Star Furious Over Bryan Danielson Release

Vince McMahon Personally Fired Bryan Danielson

- One of the stranger things about Daniel Bryan's WWE release is that Vince McMahon personally fired him via telephone late Friday night of last week, instead of having someone like John Laurinaitis do it. WWE creative and company executives were said to have no idea that any trouble with Danielson was even brewing. Some knew that there was heat from the tie incident on RAW but nobody expected that this would happen.

damn, something must have seriously happened back stage for Vinnie Mac to be doing his own dirty work for once... doesn't he usually get someone else to fire people for him? unless he is live on air of course... :)

Yes he get's his people like John Laurinaitis (WWE Worker or whatever) to do his dirty work. So yes you're right.

Bryan Danielson Comments on Fatal 4 Way Reaction


In response to the fan reaction last night at WWE Fatal 4 Way Danielson wrote the following on twitter: "Heard there were some "Daniel Bryan" chants tonight... the support from my fans is heartwarming."

PETA Urge WWE To Bring Back Bryan Danielson

PETA sent a letter to Vince McMahon, chair and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), urging him to bring back up-and-coming WWE star Daniel Bryan. In the letter, PETA points out, "Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass." The letter reads:


Dear Mr. McMahon,

On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the WWE fans among our more than 2 million members and supporters, I’m writing to toss our name into the ring as yet another proponent of the push to bring back Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson). I might not personally carry the same clout as other Bryan supporters like John Cena or Shawn Michaels (although I do consider myself “The Showstopper of PETA”), but I am, along with many of my colleagues, a huge Daniel Bryan fan, not only because he humiliated the Miz and Michael Cole a few weeks back on Raw but also because he’s vegan.

Lots of athletes, including baseball slugger Prince Fielder, the NBA’s Raja Bell, MMA fighters K.J. Noons and Mac Danzig, and Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, show that vegetarians often leave meat-eaters in the dust, gnawing on their greasy chicken wings as they wonder what hit them. But Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass. He knows that unlike WWE superstars, animals beaten to a pulp by the meat industry don’t want to be there. The worst Hell in a Cell match is nothing compared to what animals in slaughterhouses go through, such as having their throats cut and being scalded alive and dismembered, often while still conscious. Even Mick Foley couldn’t withstand that kind of abuse. Just by being vegan, Bryan saves more than 100 animals a year, a feat far more impressive than any of Jack Swagger’s “accomplishments.” Savvy athletes go vegan for the health benefits, too, as they slash their risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

So what do you say, Mr. McMahon? Bring back Bryan and let him prove that he belongs. And maybe there could even be a storyline romance between Bryan and the gorgeous vegan diva Tiffany! (Who, in your PETA fans’ opinion, deserves another shot at Layla.)

It's not only the Internet Wrestling Community and die-hard Danielson fans calling for his return. Does Vince McMahon listen to the folks over at PETA?

More Speculation on Bryan Danielson's WWE Release - Real Reason Revealed?

Despite earlier reports, it is now being said that the real reason for the release of Bryan Danielson from WWE may NOT be the fact that he choked ring announcer Justin Roberts with his own tie on-air. In fact, it now appears that the REAL reason Danielson was released is because during one point in the original segment, he spat on John Cena.

It is a well-known fact among many fans that WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon despises spitting, even going so far as banning it in WWE rings for the longest time.

Even though it's pretty much guaranteed that Danielson may have cleared this move with Cena himself beforehand, Danielson would have still been in violation of the ban set forth by McMahon, which could ultimately result in automatic termination.

Well I think that Vince did have a hard decisioning on firing Bryan Danielson. But the outcome of his choice was as you can see "Wrong" to the WWE Universe & Pro Wrestling Fans around the World. And I also think the PG-Era is Gay but hey...what can ya do at the moment. Bryan Danielson brought out that Attitude in the WWE. But WWE probably thought that if Danielson would have stay'd it'll make WWE Awesome like it was before :rolleyes:. But I have a strong feeling, this isn't the last we will see of Daniel Bryan!
