benj Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Most current non-title WWE matches end in the champ losing. Nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I know that. It's just the fact that you have a team that's had been doing a few nostalgia appearances here and there for the past two years yet are now seemingly involved in the main company storyline and being put over the current champions.

Timbo Slice Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 They're a part of the Authority storyline so them coming back just extends that out. Seems like something that's more temporary than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Jesus, That flying kick Reigns did from the floor to the apron.....holy fuck.Fucking awesome. Texted a buddy the same while watching Raw tonight. I love that dude. I have not marked out for modern wrestling in forever. My brother and I were working on his calculus homework when it happened and we both lost our minds. Roman Reigns is a fuckin' beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidebottom Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 The ending to Raw was amazing. When wrestling is done right, it really is the greatest thing on earth. Next to family, sex and good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheGreatPuma Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 So it was confirmed Daniel Bryan suffered a concussion at some point in the cage match and doesn't even remember much of what happened. Considering WWE tends to depush people who get concussions, guess it's time for Internet Hysteria: 2 Electric Boogaloo.I remember reading that Daniel Bryan had an awful, awful lot of concussions and this was years ago. I don't know how accurate the word I heard was but it scared me.Ziggler was said to have gotten another concussion too and is being assessed by the WWE.

Sean Liska Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I don't mind the Outlaws sticking around. They look perfectly fine in the ring and I'm still a mark for Road Dogg's mic work. And bringing back old talent for the occasional run is basically the only way they can rotate in and out fresh characters like the old days.

Â Not to be an alarmist, but I think they would probably rather people not know how many concussions Bryan has had. I remember him talking about how many he had on the indies and it was a very large amount and then I know he's had at least 1 or 2 since being in the WWE.

Alucard Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Lesnar/Ziggler is such a waste of the millions they pay Lesnar. Ziggler is done. He's finished. Ziggler was beating John Cena clean a year ago. Â TLC due to AJ's interference was the only time Ziggler went over. Then Cena kicked out of all of Ziggler's finishers and Big E's too and beat him clean on RAW, then did it again in a cage on Raw. And yeah Ziggler was/is done IMO.

Mini Bennett Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think Ziggler is definitely salvageable, but probably not in the amount of time they'd need to build him up as a semi-believable underdog between now and the Rumble. Â If they could somehow build Mark Henry up to the point he was at in 2011 he could be an AWESOME opponent for Brock at Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember speaking to Danielson when he was in APW (so that had to have been 10+ years ago) and he said he'd had 8 or 9 concussions. The number seemed shockingly high, but even if he was exaggerating or wrong, let's cut that in half and think of how much else has likely happened since.

rovert Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Bryan was also involved in that gross series of matches with Nigel McGuinness which involved full force head butting each other and other dangerous nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zig Zag, the Sleeper and at the time was using a superkick as a finish that he even beat Orton with a couple of times. Also finished with the fameasser on lesser guys. Â He had abandoned the sleeper as a finish by that point, he hadn't beat anyone with it in years. Even if you want to include it, I won't argue too hard, but it's a sub and sub finishers are always escaped from. Dolph survived the STF in those matches which is a far bigger thing. Â The super kick and the fameasser were not and are not finishers by any reasonable standard of the term. Dolph beat Orton once with the superkick at Survivor Series (maybe once more on TV after that) and everyone was clamouring for him to take it as a finish, but...he didn't. He didn't beat anyone with it since, it was a signature move used as a near fall, same as the fameasser, which I don't think he has ever beaten anyone with ever. Â When they worked together Cena did kick out of all of Dolph's signature moves, and the Zig Zag. Calling his moves finishers is absurd, but I guess "all of his finishers" made for a stronger complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Did you do a formal interview posted online? For years I thought it was a Larry Goodman interview for some reason that had the "7 concussions" anecdote but I asked him last year and he's never talked to Danielson.

goc Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Prowrestling.net reports that Daniel Bryan suffered a concussion during Monday's RAW and as a result, did not work the WWE show in Hammond, Indiana on Saturday night. Bryan was advertised for the show but it was announced to the live crowd that he would not appear (refunds were offered). Just for anyone who isn't convinced WWE sees him as a top guy. I think that's more evidence that anything they've done on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Definitely says something. Seeing this, along with the note in this week's WON that Vince is determined to have the entire Superdome chant with him, I have to believe he's winning the title at Mania. I don't know if it'll close the show, as Taker or Cena (and obviously Taker vs. Cena) are likely to be pushed ahead of it, but definitely see that as a moment they're looking to get to. Not sure how else they restructure things. Taker/Cena, Brock/Batista and Orton/Bryan get you there, but a lot of the scuttlebutt has Taker/Cena being saved for Mania in Texas. Not that it matters, but I'd also hope something like Cena/Taker gets more of a sustained build than is possible at this point as opposed to how they threw together the Punk match last year.
