Tag: Daniel Bryan

2014 the year of Daniel Bryan?

Last nights Raw was one of the best finishes of the year in my opinion. In fact my sister in law who isn’t even a wwe fan was intrigued. Everything from the action in the ring to the surprising ending segment had me glued to the tv. For those who missed it lets get you all up to speed. Early in the night Bryan went to the authority demanding he face Bray Whytt. This demand was granted by Raw GM Brad Madoxx but of corse there was a twist. Before Bryan could get Bray he would have to defeat the rest of the colt (Harper and Rowan). Of corse the yes man put on an amazing performance as always. Although most of the match was dominated by Harper Bryan pulled out a flying knee finisher out of nowhere. Then of corse Rowan raced down the ramp and started pummeling on Bryan, however this match ended in a quick fashion with Bryan getting a roll up. This left Rowan irate so he starts beating down Bryan up until the point Harper calmed him down. The leader Bray then leaves his rocking chair and walks slowly towards his pray. At one point it looked like Bryan had one up on Bray when Bray turned his back on Bryan. That wasn’t the case though because the rest of the “family jumped in and did a three on one attack on Bryan. What fallowed was pure gold. Bray cuts this disturbing promo. He does his “crab walk” and starts singing what seems like a lullaby. He then tells Bryan to open his eyes and look at the dismay. “That this could’ve been easier but now this is the end” Bryan is beaten down on the floor the mic is near his mouth and he mutters the words “you’re right” Bray asks Bryan to repeat. Bryan again says “you’re right, you’ve always been right. “The machine will never let me win no matter how loud these fans chant” I’ve been chanted in every building I’ve been too and still the machine won’t let me win”
Now here’s the crazy part…. Are you ready guys??

Bryan then says “Let me join your family”
This statement is met by no chants. Bray with a sick smile on his face plants a kiss on Bryan’s head and lays him out with a “Sister Abigail” and they carry him out of the ring. Bryan hobbles up the ramp. He stops for a few seconds looking out into the crowded of no chants and shakes his head only to walk away with his new family.

Now a lot of fans on the inter web are saying this was a way to burry Bryan. But one I saw this I thought two things. 1. Bryan was more over then their beloved Cena so they had to Turn Bryan hell
2. This could take Bryan to new hights.

Think about it Cena has a match with orton for the title. Cena said if he was champ he would give Bryan a shot. So maybe Bryan gets his shot at Elimination chamber.
Also there has been talks of Cena feuding with the Whytt’s at WrestleMania 30
So what if the newest whytt member goes on to win the Royal Rumble and then capture the gold at the grand daddy of them all??

So I think before anyone jumps to conclusion and says this is the “Burial of Bryan” they should consider all the possibilities.

What do you guys think of these turn of events? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Let me know.

Until next time. Catch you later. Have a beautiful week and an even better new year

Raw Recap: July 22 2013

Brad Maddox in the ring, he talked about allowing John Cena to pick his own opponent for Summer Slam. Maddox brought out Cena to the ring for a contract signing. Maddox asked Cena why he chose Daniel Bryan . Cena said he listened to the WWE Universe & the chose was clear in his mind. Maddox said some people say you only chose Bryan because your certain that you will defeat him & he went on about Cena being bigger & stronger & said Bryan more resembles a troll than a WWE champion. Maddox said some people say Bryan is severely unstable & has relationship issues. Cena said are you sure of all of these accusations. Daniel Bryan came to the ring. Fans chanted Yes! Bryan said to Maddox it seems that you think I don’t deserve a shot at the WWE Title but these people disagree with you. Maddox asked Bryan if he thinks he has earned or deserves a shot at the championship at Summer Slam & asked why does he think Cena chose him. Cena interrupted & said you want to know why be man enough & asked John Cena. Cena said Daniel I chose you for this match because this gentleman & the dumb*sses he works for a lot of times are afraid to see God given talent & ability even when it’s beard is staring them right in the face. Cena said to Maddox you wont to run this man down for being half my size & for not being as strong as me. Cena said if size is everything that makes a WWE Champion then here(Cena tossed the WWE Title to Maddox) run to the back & give that to the Great Khali. Cena said he has got names like Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio & the late Eddie Guerrero that prove ability & passion make a WWE Champion not just size & strength. Cena said he chose Bryan because he earned it & deserves it. Cena said being WWE Champion means facing the best competition & sometimes it comes from an unlikely source. Cena said he picked Bryan to compete in the match & just because Bryan was given this opportunity doesn’t mean he is going to hand him the Title. Cena signed the contract & said Bryan is the best competition & he is going to prove at Summer Slam even the best isn’t good enough. Bryan signed the contract & started to talk but Maddox interrupted & announced the match. Bryan yelled at Maddox No! & said you don’t get to interrupt me because I have waited my entire career for this opportunity & I proven that I deserve this. Maddox said not everybody thinks you deserve it. Maddox said he is going to give Bryan an opportunity to prove he deserves it by having a match tonight, he meant matches. Maddox said do I think you are going to prove yourself worthy tonight & yelled No! No! No! The Fans chanted Yes! Yes! Yes!

Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio: Del Rio got the win.

Backstage Booker T & Teddy Long was interviewed by Renee Young about Vince McMahon hiring Vickie Guerrero as the Smackdown GM. Booker T said he was shocked. Teddy said you was shocked what about me. teddy said you would not believe the abuse he took while he filled in for booker T the last 3 months. teddy mentioned that Vickie had security kick him out of the building this past Friday. Booker T said to Teddy if he keeps running off at the mouth he will kick him out of the building tonight. teddy said if he wasn’t going to be named GM then maybe Mr. McMahon made the right decision.

Christian vs Titus O’Neil: Christian got the win.

Backstage Josh Mathews said to Ryback that people feel you enjoy intimidating others. Ryback said I do, like you, you little twirp your about average size, to me you represent everybody in the WWE Universe. Ryback said I hate average, in the law of the jungle the bigger & stronger always eat the weaker & smaller. Ryback said the big guy needs to eat & said people like you deserve to be intimidated by me. Ryback said if you’re not I will prove to you why you should be.

Mark Henry came to the ring. Henry said he is proud to be from Texas & he is proud of the effort he put into his WWE Championship match with John Cena. Henry said he is not proud of what happened to him last week with the assault by The Shield. Henry said his heart doesn’t pump Kool-Aid, he was raised from tough stuff & any man who took the whipping like he took is willing to give one out. Henry said if The Shield wants him he is right here. The Shield came down to the ring & attacked Henry. The Uso’s came out & helped Henry. The Shield retreated.

Daniel Bryan in the locker room getting ready, Cena came in & Bryan said are you here to wish me luck. Cena said tonight isn’t about luck at all. Cena said he has a hunch Maddox isn’t making his own choices. Bryan said don’t worry about him tonight he will be fine own his own. Cena said I just want you to make it to Summer Slam in one piece. Bryan said he doesn’t care who his opponents are or how many & if Cena was in his position he would say the same thing. Bryan said Maddox is right this is an opportunity for him to prove he belongs here. Bryan said he is going to fight & is going to win. Bryan said please don’t deprive me of this opportunity because if you come out there in any of my matches you prove all the things you said was just a load of crap.

Darren Young vs Dolph Ziggler: Ziggler got the win. After the match Big E Langston along with AJ Lee came out & Langston attacked Ziggler but Ziggler used his quickness to escape.

Miz TV: The Miz’s guest was the cast of Total Divas. The Miz brought up Jerry Lawler to take over. Lawler introduced himself to the 2 new Divas Jo Jo & Eva Marie. Eve Marie said she wants to make a name for herself & she slapped Lawler across the face.

Maddox backstage, Triple H came up & said to Maddox you don’t think Daniel Bryan is championship material. Triple H said it almost sounds like someone put words in your mouth. Triple H said I don’t care what the old man thinks, what I think is Daniel Bryan could be the future of the WWE. Triple H asked Maddox if he knows why he didn’t come out there & override all of his decisions. Maddox said because you like them. Triple H said no, it’s because it doesn’t matter what you throw at Bryan he is so driven he will overcome anything. Triple H said there is 2 trains leaving the station & for Maddox to chose wisely which one to get on because one train is the future & the other train is a dead end & Triple H walked off. Stephanie McMahon came in & said she feels for Maddox, her dad & husband rock hard place she has been there. Stephanie said she has an idea that might work but she hasn’t thought it through yet but she will talk to him as soon as she does. Stephanie told Maddox to make sure he gets on board. Maddox said he is on board.

Fandango vs Cody Rhodes: Damien Sandow did commentary during the match. Sandow tried to interfere  in the match but it backfired & Rhodes got the win.

CM Punk came to the ring & said last week he got his *ss handed to him by Brock Lesnar. Punk said Lesnar hit him with his best shot over & over until he was in a broken heap at ringside but he got back up. Punk talked about his injuries & said maybe he shouldn’t even be here, he feels like he was in a car accident but he is still standing. Punk said Lesnar can beat him down but can’t keep him down. Punk talked about all of Lesnar’s accomplishments. Punk said Lesnar’s biggest strength isn’t how massive of an athlete he is, his speed, his power, his technique or his fighting skills, Lesnar’s biggest weapon has always & always will be about one thing, fear. Punk said I’m not afraid of Brock Lesnar, I’m not afraid of Paul Heyman’s monster. Punk said Heyman had one decision to make & he made the wrong one & Punk said he is going to make sure he lives to regret it every single day of his miserable life. Punk said he isn’t going to stop until Lesnar lays in the same broken heap that he left him in last week. Punk said it doesn’t matter what Lesnar or Heyman thinks this is his ring & he owns it & he has proved it against people like John Cena, The Rock, The Undertaker & he would have proven it to Lesnar last week if it wasn’t for Heyman stabbing him in the back for the second time. Punk said there wont be a third time & he will get his hands on Heyman & make him pay. Punk said he isn’t going to pretend Lesnar isn’t the monster that everybody says he is. Punk said monsters where put on this earth & in his path to be slaughtered. Punk said he wants Lesnar at Summer Slam he wants the best vs the beast. Paul Heyman appeared on the big screen live via satellite, Heyman said the best vs the beast he likes it, it’s cleaver marketing. Punk said if Heyman is in the back he is going to find him & pull him out to the ring & give him exactly what he deserves. Heyman insulted the people of Texas put down the State of Texas. Heyman talked about Punk playing a hero for the people. Heyman said Lesnar has a theory about hero’s, show me a hero & I will show you a coward that ran out of options or a fool who is just to stupid to stay down. Heyman asked Punk if he is a coward or a fool. Punk said he will give that answer to Heyman & his client at Summer Slam. Heyman said it bothers him. Punk interrupted & said it bothers him that Heyman is via satellite. Punk said he will walk there & kick his *ss right now. Heyman said it bothers him that Punk doesn’t realize that we was the reigning defending WWE Champions for 434 consecutive days based on Punks talent but on his strategy. Heyman said Lesnar is in peak from as a fighter but look at you, your all beat up from the Money In The Bank ladder match & all beat up from the beating you suffered last week at the hands of the beast incarnate himself. Heyman accepted Punks challenge for Summer Slam. Heyman said stop calling it the best vs the beast because the best is the beast & he is my client & my best friend in the world Brock Lesnar.

Wade Barrett vs Rob Van Dam: RVD got the win.

Gauntlet Match: Daniel Bryan vs Jack Swagger: Swagger had Zeb Colter & Antonio Cesaro with him. Before the match insulted Texas & said shame on Daniel Bryan for taking a handout. “We the people.” Bryan got the win by submission with the Yes Lock.

Backstage Maddox with Alex Riley, Riley said Bryan survived. Maddox said so far lets see how will he does against the next one.

Daniel Bryan vs Ryback: Bryan got the win by DQ because Ryback powerbombed Bryan through a table. After the match grabbed Bryan to do more but John Cena came out to save Bryan & went after Ryback. Ryback made his way up the ramp & Cena grabbed a mic & said after a half hour fight you want to put this man through a table, how about you try doing the same thing to me. Cena challenged Ryback to a tables match. Ryback said if that’s what you want that’s what you will get.

Maddox backstage, Vince McMahon came in & madox said how about that we already got a main event for next week & I will make it official John Cena vs Ryback in a tables match. McMahon asked what about Daniel Bryan & said you ain’t going to deny him competition you ain’t going to deny him a chance to prove himself are you. McMahon suggested Bryan should wrestle someone bigger & stronger than him, someone to bring out the vicious side of Bryan like maybe a friend a best friend. Maddox said Daniel Bryan vs Kane, McMahon said you damn right.

Post SummerSlam Comments and Recap

The 25th Anniversary edition of Summerslam is now in the books and in my humble opinion it was a solid but unspectacular PPV. Some excellent matches and then there was the FIGHT that took place between HHH and Brock Lesnar. All in all, I believe we got our money’s worth and that’s what we deserve.

Here’s a recap of the matches and the winners. My comments will be in red and italics.

Pre-show:

Antonio Cesaro def. United States Champion Santino Marella

Cesaro was impressive and the humorous spot in the match was when Marella pulled out the 2nd Cobra from the rear of his tights and the announcer saying “That’s what you call a backup plan”.

Chris Jericho def. Dolph Ziggler

My personal favorite match of the night – not the best match of the night, but my favorite. I make no bones about being a huge Jericho fan, and both he and Dolph put it all on the line for us fans. It was good to see Jericho prove Ziggler wrong about not being able to win the big one any more. Right after the PPV ended, Zigglar touted his demand for a rematach. http://www.tout.com/m/yzzs1v

Daniel Bryan def. Kane

I had to step away during this match so I will let WWE.com give this recap: At SummerSlam, two hotheads collided as Daniel Bryan defeated Kane in a thrilling back-and-forth encounter that had both Superstars seeing red.

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Rey Mysterio

Great work by both superstars! Nothing more to add than you know The Miz is a great heel, because I can’t stand him!

World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus def. Alberto Del Rio

Can’t really believe I’m typing this, but Sheamus stole this one from Del Rio. Rodriquez attempted to throw a shoe to Del Rio but instead, Sheamus caught it and blasted Del Rio with it. Then on the cover, the referee missed Del Rio’s leg on the rope as Sheamus pulled his leg down after the 3 count so the ref wouldn’t see it. 

WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston & R-Truth def. The Prime Time Players

I will just take this quote directly from our live blog tonight:  “Truth and Kofi retain! What a cross body from Kofi on Titus from the top turn buckle to the floor just before the pin by Truth”. Here is  the link to the archive of the DTRT Wrestling News Live Blog of SummerSlam – http://blyve.com/event/f02d3150647a406ebc000000

WWE Champion CM Punk def. John Cena, Big Show

Show pretty much dominated until both Punk and Cena applied submission holds AT THE SAME TIME on the giant. Show tapped out, but referee didn’t know what to do. Hit Raw GM AJ Lee’s music. She skips to the ring in her business suit, and after Punk gave us a plug (well not really, but he told AJ to Do The Right Thing), she said RESTART THE MATCH, and that included Big Show who had tapped out. Cena hit the Attitude Adjustment on Big Show, but Punk quickly threw Cena out of ring and pinned Show to retain the title. Not sure Punk is going to gain that RESPECT he wanted from Cena when Cena did the work and Punk got the pin. That’s a Triple Threat Match for you though.  

It should also be noted that earlier in the match Cena was about to do U Can’t C Me on Big Show when Punk broke it up and then mocked Cena by waving his own hand in front of his face while laughing at Cena. 

I have no inside information, but I’m thinking Punk vs Cena tomorrow night for the main event on Raw. We’ll see if I’m right. 

Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar

Ok, this wasn’t a match, it was a fight. That’s what Lesnar said it would be and that is what it was. The Game held his own and when he hit his second Pedigree on Lesnar it looked like The Cerebral Assassin might pull of the stunning upset. However, Lesnar had worked over HHH’s left arm all night and when he once again locked in the submission hold that had broken both The Game’s and HBK’s arms – HHH tapped out. 

Some random observations on the match: the crowd was mostly quiet during the match, which I believe was because they were in awe of how brutal this match was; for those who think this is all fake – I would ask how did Lesnar get those big whelps under each eye; The Game seemed to be apologizing and tearing up after refusing medical attention on his left arm; Michael Cole asks if this is the end of Triple H. I was a little disappointed in the crowd chanting “You tapped out” as Hunter stayed alone in the ring at the end of the PPV.

There you have it folks. As I said earlier, a solid PPV. I wish they would have used Raw GM AJ Lee a little better tonight. Her one line of restart the match was uneventful and her talent is much better than being under used that way, and besides with Big Show tapping out, why didn’t they have Cena and Punk finish one on one? I didn’t care for the end of the Sheamus vs Del Rio match either. It just didn’t feel right to me. Other than that, put another great big thank you down to the WWE for providing a great evening of Sports Entertainment!
