I'm not sure how Striker ruined anything? He saw Bryan doing his signature submission, did literally his job by calling the move, and then an old man who has been accused of bad crimes yelled at him for being better at their job.

El Gallinero Gros posted: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. Wasn't he the head trainer for RoH's school for years?

I don't know if the episode of ECW with the 8-man Extreme Rules match between the New Breed and the ECW Originals is on the network, but that match was really good. Maybe I should watch it and mail Kevin Thorn a nickel.

It doesn't matter that he was a nobody, if he's on the Network he deserves to get paid. So does everyone who's on there. The current contracts are utter bullshit. Writers and actors both managed to win royalties from online streaming. The difference is they had strong unions and went on strike. That's obviously not gonna happen in wrestling so the wrestlers get hosed

And it's not as if Vince (or any other head of a major corporation) wouldn't throw a fit if they were hosed out of even a small amount of money.

Marquis de Pyro posted: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. The Benoit stuff happened because Benoit was a violent weird psychopath already before the brain damage. It might've contributed to him actually doing it but he never seemed like a happy or overly friendly person in all the accounts I remember hearing, even from his friends. Unless you have a history of being an abusive crazy man already I don't think brain damage is going to force you into it necessarily, and I don't think possibly stiffing the Young Bucks or Jigsaw counts

It actually makes Dean look really good that he's willing to have his rear end kicked by Brock. It's a weird type of "push" but I think this is the rare case where it works. It says a lot about the overall mystique of Brock and the good character work Dean has been putting in.

He is being booked better than Roman. - Stands up to the Authority - Faced off with HHH in the Rumble unlike Roman - Stands up to Brock Lesnar - Doesn't care if he has an rear end kicking as he isn't superman - But poo poo, he still gets up if he DOES get his rear end kicked!

This might be a really stupid question but couldn't Bryan just do in-ring stuff that presents near-zero risk to his head and neck? I mean he seems to really love the business and doesn't want to leave it so why not find a gimmick that'd provide some inherent protection like get into a big suit and join Kaiju Big Battel? Or only work slow-mo gimmick matches in Chikara? Or start a new brand that specializes in methodical catch-as-catch-can 1800s-style wrestling? Those ideas sound like I'm being a sarcastic dick but seriously, if he loves it so much he should just figure something out.

The way he made that brain scan sound it seems like he really really doesn't want to risk messing around in anything. It's probably not Edge level "literally can't wrestle ever again" but it's probably not a great idea for him to wrestle any kind of match.

The most basic of basic bumps still has you chucking your body at the floor, and he's too proud to want to wrestle in a style where you don't take bumps at all. If he's gonna do anything it's take the William Regal path and try to scout and mentor the wrestlers that will come after him rather than trying to work that kind of style and get whatever glory comes from being Kaiju World Champion while dressed as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. I mean, a guy like Taker or Andre were able to get by way past their best before date by working a slower style (in the latter case still looking sad as gently caress by the end) but Bryan's not a giant guy and would look silly doing that.

Even near zero risk is still a risk, and there's no "near zero" risk if you're employed by the same company who hires Sheamus.

GeneX posted:So, uh, I just watched Wrestlemania XXX on the recommendation of basically everyone. Holy poo poo. You know I just spent ages typing out this big history of everything that happened leading up to WM30 and after WM30 but really all you have to know is that both before and after it is that WWE top brass never viewed Daniel Bryan as a star. Never. They treated him like an upper midcarder before WM30 and treated him like a midcarder after WM30. The only times WWE treated Daniel Bryan like the star he could have been was at WM30 and in his goodbye speech. Originally the main event of WM 30 was supposed to just be Batista Vs Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan was supposed to be wrestling Sheamus for the thousandth time. After Bryan won the title they planned to have Bryan feud with Kane in a kooky spooky monster feud that was like watching Stone Cold act scared of Papa Shango after winning the title at Mania until they got to Summerslam where Brock Lesner was going to murder Bryan in a ten minute match that would have been the end of Daniel Bryan in the main event. After Bryan was injured during his feud with Kane he returned at the Rumble and was quickly eliminated by Bray making the fans reject the Rumble for a second time in a row and WWE top brass were shocked because they never thought that the fans really cared that much for Daniel Bryan or even thought he'd win the rumble. And that's not even going into the time they tried to give Big Show the Yes Chant. Essentially WWE captured lightning in a bottle with Daniel Bryan and they immediately tried to recreate 1guy1jar with it.

Not even then. The smartest man in wrestling still tore his back once and quads a lot. Then there is John Cena. Wrestling as safe as he had for years, taking big bumps like three times a year in a very controlled way, he was wrestling pretty wrecked. Up until his US title run where he took a years worth of big bumps within the first few weeks the inevitable happened.
