    I know he's super-humble and not an attention-craving egomaniac, but I can't help thinking Daniel Bryan is happy with his mid-card position as he hasn't got much time left on the clock. He never had major neck/shoulder surgery but I don't believe he's fully healed/healthy. He may have to retire in a year or two and he's already come to terms with it. As he's already peaked (winning the Main event of WM30) the best thing he can do for the company is make new stars.

    In wrestler years I wouldn't even say he's peaked quite yet. Wrestlers tend to do their best work around mid-30s. He's a couple of years off that yet. Wanting to elevate others is really noble but you have to keep up the idea that Bryan is someone you wouldn't want to f*ck with, too, otherwise beating him doesn't mean as much. Although pretty much every indication ever given says he's a nice guy, a bit of an edge wouldn't hurt either from time to time.

    He's wrecked and done physically. Sadly.

    Meltzer has twice now, on Observer radio, coyly referred to Cena using the springboard stunner and Austin's reaction to it not being a coincidence.

    Potential Mania match for next year

    Watching old Jeff Jarrett matches is infuriating. Every time I'm like "Oh, this is actually a pretty good match" and then all the nonsense kicks in. Every time.

    WWE are really scraping the barrel coming up with match ideas aren't they. A Russian chain match? That's the best they could come up with? I would have booked a table match or something. That way there would still be a feeling that Rusev could win, even if it's controversial.

    Whats the problem with a Russian chain match? It'll be like every other chain/strap match in WWE history Rusev drags a knocked out Cena to the turnbuckles and doesnt see Cena touch them after him, at fourth turnbuckle Cena turns the tables and touches first! Doesnt mean it wont be a really good match

    If WWE want to go the nationalistic route, why not a North Korean character? If they want to go with cheap heat like that, it seems an evergreen choice. NK guy could call the audience western, bourgeois pigs, and Cena could rip into Kim Jong Un for some laugh-pops. Bit dark, maybe?

    Whenever I think of old Jeff Jarrett matches I always think of my mother saying 'He's an awful bollowax that Charles'. Why she called him Charles I dunno :p

    Don't know if it's been said yet, but it seems WWE has taken to calling the IWC, the Internet Sports Entertainment Community(ISEC). Vince is the best troll ever :D

    Despite all of the criticism he gets and calls for him to step down and let Triple H run the show, I still think Vince is the greatest magician of all time and want him to keep on rolling.

    Vince won't be happy with the BEEB they call BNB a 'wrestling star' rather than sports entertainer in his predictions versus Lawro this week.

    They've been referring to them as such, or they have been doing things similar to this for years?

    Running away from calling it Wrestling or using Wrestling/carny lingo.

    If they were going to get the kind of mainstream acceptance they wanted, it would have happened.
