No, I don't mean Hunter is leaving Stephanie for HBK. There are rumeours that DB is going to retire tonight. That would suck. He has trimmed the beard. The ultimate sign you have to get a real job.  Sin Cara is back. They probably won't know what to do with him, so Kalisto will lose and go back to a tag team. But Rey Mysterio is coming back. So he'll probably get Kalisto's push. |

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com recently revealed on the Wrestling Classics forum that Bryan “did give notice [to WWE] and was told he did not have the right to give notice.”
Meltzer added that Bryan was not allowed to give notice to WWE, as Bryan’s contract has been frozen due to an injury, a provision in Superstar contracts which helps WWE make up lost time when a talent is sidelined. If you recall, this is a similar situation Rey Mysterio found himself in when he was trying to leave WWE at the end of his last run.
In Bryan’s situation, it appears very true that he cannot ask for his WWE release at this time due his frozen contract, and the only real way he would be able to get a release from the company is if he took WWE to court.

I really don't like James Harden all that much so this thread is great news.

I wonder if Bryan being a "character" on Total Divas has anything to do with it? For some dumb reason the WWE gives a shit about that fake show, but Bryan & Brie are a pretty big part of that show. If Bryan just left, that'd be a big part of that show gone.
That makes literally no sense as to why, I'm fully aware. Just trying to make sense of any of this, but I can't.
It's heartbreaking. Especially if you've read his book & also I've been a fan since the very 1st ROH show. He's the complete package & for his career to be cut short, it sucks. This is worse than the Edge retirement IMO.
Part of me hopes this is the end of Daniel Bryan, but the debut of Lloyd Boner.

If Steph comes out in the middle of his speech, I'm finished watching WWE (except NXT). I'm 100% serious.

Could it be a work? What if AJ comes out and attacks him during Raw and they get a Wrestlemaina match out of it?

I wonder if the lackluster performance by Brie over the last year or two has had something to do with the Daniel Bryan situation and more specifically her probably being pissed at the E for dicking him around.

Now back to this horrible LCW rumor....is this really happening? Is there a fresh pair of hefty bag pants in the locker room for tonight?  |

I don't see Rey coming back.
Also I just saw the Bryan news come across the scroll on ESPN

I would be fine with LCW returning if he passes the torch to Kalisto.

I know this isn't the thread to put it in, but I felt we all needed a bit of cheering up due to today's news. Dream Weaver to the rescue!!!

I can't be the only person that still hears Taz go "well, here comes the pain" ... right?

I think, with the exception of last week, every Raw has opened with Steph and/or Roman.
Love Steph, but for fuck sake, enough is enough. It's so far past overkill at this point.
She's either unbearably bad or really good. Tonight, she's terrible. Not in a good heel way either, but in an awful way.

Truly hope Ambrose has more purpose in this main event than to just take a pin by Reigns. They could do so much with this.
Sadly I don't see it happening. They'll go the predictable route, like usual.

18 minutes into Raw & we already have a replay. So dumb.

JBL forgot to mention that another thing they share is injury concerns destroying their pushes eventually.

They are making Reigns and Ambrose so buddy buddy that it feels like they are setting up a turn for one of them.
