I love The New Daniel Bryan. Especially that he got actual boos by the end. I hope his daughter kicks all the groins.

After all these years, Vince finally gonna get some mileage out of "DBry is a vegan, boo this man." That's playing the long game.

Maybe this world isn't so terrible after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPScYiPhPT0&t=260s For those too lazy to watch a few minutes of that review: Sean Ross Sapp is reporting that the fact that Asuka got a massive reaction when Becky almost picked her to face Ronda surprised Vince, and now he sees a ton of potential in her.  I guess it also helps that she's apparently incredibly well liked by the women's locker room behind the scenes as well. I know Charlotte and Naomi have both done nothing but heap praise on Asuka in interviews.

The biggest conflict that interests me in WWE right now is whether Lucha House Party gets to enter in one Royal Rumble slot vs. whether they're completely forgotten about by January.

HHH may have questionable talent evaluation but we have concrete proof Vince wrote Raw 2 weeks ago and writing is by far WWE's biggest problem. Corbin was good on Talking Smack.

VJeff posted:I know it's not fair to hold it against a guy for not being able to elevate Vince's garbage material, but drat, I can't remember the last time he was a part of anything good since Talking Smack got canned. The way he sold for Demon Finn was hilarious and fun, and if the feud would have been like, two, maybe three matches instead of the 40,000 (and... somehow counting!) matches it turned into, that'd have been good. But there was just too much crap that could have been left out, and then they did the same overlong feud--but worse--immediately afterward with Cass and Bryan. I can definitively say Corbin was better in the lovely role than Cass was. The thing about Corbin is, he's frequently put into a role he's actually kind of perfect in----but for too long. Like, imagine if Corbin held the exact position he does now, only he had something like 10% of his current screentime. I mean, he's basically made for the role of fake tough guy who is actually kind of a goober. He's like Jimbo Jones in wrestler form. But we're drummed in the head with him which just makes him go from "Guy we can happily not like" to "No seriously, I don't like this guy, get him off my TV" The TEW notes of every raw for like, the last six months have ended with "You used Baron Corbin too much during this show" ~~~~ So, in regards to Bane Ambrose, uh... he did mention during one of his rants how he legitimately almost died from a massive staph infection after his surgery, right? I remember him mentioning he almost died, but do they like, explicitly spell that out? It almost feels like a key piece in his weird new persona is just sort of... uh... blurred out.

Okay actually I remember when Corbin was part of something good. During the Lesnar/Roman feud, Angle asked Roman to leave for the night so there wouldn't be a fight between him and Lesnar. Roman agreed and Corbin called in some security to escort Roman out. Corbin had this poo poo-eating grin the whole time. Roman just looked at him, popped him in the face and walked off without a word. That was neat.

Maybe if they were going for a heel Daniel Bryan basically saying "I gave everything for you people, and it cost me my job and health, so now I have a second chance I'm not going to get into stupid brawls and do the bare minimum to win because I won't jeopardize this second chance" that could work. But they're not doing that, are they?

Also running a morally and scientifically correct heel against a babyface that's a homophobic flat-earther is a bold move.

Baron Corbin was great when he failed to cash in the MitB briefcase and the booking then spent the next few months just making GBS threads on him relentlessly so go back to that

Smackdown was really good (again). The New Daniel Bryan is a great character even if hippie socialist should be a face archetype and his interactions with the Miz were great. Becky is amazing, Asuka is amazing and I really liked that they used the title feud to give Sonya Deville a big win. And I want to see an entire run of PSAs from Joe

Smackdown is the A show and will reinforce that fact in less than a year when it's in the bigtime cool network TV timeslot and has alllllllllllllllllllllll the pyrotechnics. Meanwhile, next fall, Brock will still be champion on Raw and Finn Balor will probably be dead or back in NJPW.

WWE once again makes their heels correct. I mean, I disagree with him on veganism because converting to it without culling the human population first, as well as the knock-on extinction of most of the food stock animals that follows being bad, but he's spot on if he's pissed at late-stage capitalism.

Daniel Bryan can't hate capitalism too much. He works for Vince McMahon, who pays him Saudi blood money every few weeks.
