I think somebody said he'd already turned down a bunch of non-wrestling roles. Makes sense, he admitted in his book that Sara Del Ray was good despite feeling like he couldn't really figure out how to use his expertise in way that he could pass it on. Great athletes don't always make great teachers, I guess. Ted Williams had the same problem.

Here's a interesting fact: Some time ago, Bryan was in a NWA title tournament, I think the one that happened after they broke off from TNA. Rumour had it he was supposed to win that tourney until he got injured. Had he won and everything else worked out similarly, he would be the only wrestler to hold the lineal WCW title, the WWE title, the ROH title, and the NWA title.

Hahaha did he just say "gently caress off" while you geeked out? I'm picturing him just looking at a bottle of Jim Beam and not looking at you while saying it.

I haven't accidentally ran into someone I see on the teevee before so I totally spazzed out and told him he was awesome (true) and my favorite wrestler (false, but like top 3). He gave me a look like I just tried to hand him a dead bird and said "ah, hey, thanks man" and turned away. It was the correct response on his part, tbh.

So idk what happened but on Raw last night but the last half an hour was just some dude with a beard talking and doing no wrestling. I muted it and did some housework while I waited for someone to run in so they could start wrestling but nothing happened. Hope I never see that boring punk again and Vince learns that wrestling shows should be about wrestling and while that involves drama it shouldn't include 30 minute monologues.

There is some inherent comedy in the idea of Vince "realizing that a wrestling show should be about wrestling", though.

In non Daniel Bryan related news. WWE are doing a fantastic job of building up to Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar at Fastlane.

Also there's some random Samoan dude who keeps hanging around them, dunno why.

It's been a very good build that has given Ambrose a lot to work with. So much so, I find myself hoping against all hopes that he wins.

hey good brother if you're looking for hot action, check out "The Game" aka "The Cerebral Assassin"" aka "The Asskicker" aka "The King Of Kings" Triple H vs " The Icon" aka "The Showstopper" aka "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in their famous Hell in a Cell from Bad Blood 2004! It's a match with both of them in it, so it's very good!

I assumed that bus reference was to partying on the bus they rent for the whole roster when they do European tours. I've never heard about Jericho using a bus like Orton/Show etc.

Based on a very small amount of evidence my best guess is that he partied a little too hard last night and was looking for one of those little "take this enormous quantity of vitamins to feel better" drinks. Or maybe he was just fascinated by a two-story Walgreens and wanted to ride the escalator.

edit: just remembered he's actually younger than I am, now I feel like an even bigger weirdo.

There are plenty of NFL players who probably have way worse brain damage than Bryan and go on to live normal lives and not go crazy and murder people, so I wouldn't really worry too much about that. I would also bet that in 20 years we'll have a lot better understanding and treatment of CTE so as long as he stays retired and the only wrestling he does is giving his wife the best small package in wrestling he should be fine.

I'm not saying CTE isn't some serious poo poo, but I think wrestling fans have a real 'worst case scenario' view of it due to Benoit

Pretty much, there are tons of horror stories out there but that's because it was discovered only very recently and the worst case scenarios are the ones people remember. IF Bryan doesn't do anything dumb, there are plenty of chances of him having a bright fulfilling future as we learn more and more about the disease and how to treat it.
