CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Kevin Sullivan on Benoit/Nancy:

[CarlosDelgothoes]

I don't, is there video? Also goddamn sunny made the rounds huh

in his book he mentions his wife saw this and went apeshit.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

I've actually never read Bret's book. How is it? It looks longer than the Bible.

he's surprisingly honest in it. Not that I didn't think he would be, but it's just the way of autobiographies...

talks about cheating on his wife, refusing to put certain guys over, admitting to being up his own ass etc

[Pizon]

Bryan was cleared to return, so his "retirement" angle has to be a work, no? Who interrupts his speech tonight to set up a Mania bout?

[Brougham33]

Goddamn please let this be a work. I don't think it is though...

[blastmaster]

He's under contract for like 3 more years so I don't think he can "retire" and then hop over to ROH or anything (plus I doubt he would do anything to fuck with his wife's status). I really hope he ends up back full time and in the title picture.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

I just hope he does what's best for himself health-wise.

[alpha]

He officially announced his retirement today.

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

He officially announced his retirement today.

Yea, looks like this is real....

[907]

I'm sorry to see him go, but if it means a better quality of life as he gets older, I'm glad to see him walk away while he can still walk.

Hope Bryan's turning heel tonight, come out rockin the salmon blazer

I would love for this to be a work. Not sure if WWE writers have it in them tho...

[blastmaster]

ESPN is reporting it too. :(

[Brougham33]

That was perfect and also the worst. Respect to that guy forever.

[SYM]

^ yup. My god that will go down in the books as one of the realest and most heartfelt moments ever aired.

What a mensch. Tons of respect due and all the feels tonight.

[907]

Damn, that was more emotional than I was expecting.

Bryan > everybody.

[tehgiftofgab]

100% agree with the three posts above me... Damn that was awesome and so hard to watch at the same time

[battlecatmeowstab212]

What a great exit. Touching, funny, classy. The second he came out with the beard/haircut, I knew it for absolute sure wasn't a work.

Glad wigsforkids.org got a shout too. They're who I donated my hair to as well.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Are any of you Wrestling Observer subscribers? I really want to read Meltzer's piece on Daniel Bryan, which is apparently being lauded as his finest work.

[Smithee]

That was perfect and also the worst. Respect to that guy forever.

I cried my eyes out...

[unbelievable dickhead]

good move giving KO the belt back to open things up a bit.
there's about 5 people i'd rather see him fued with than ziggler though.

Who specifically seemed more over in person that it came across on TV, and vice versa? I'm always interested in stuff like that.

Man, TNA sounds like an awful place to expect payment from. Funny quick shoot excerpt:

[907]

I'm watching Nitros from 98 on the network, it's insane how many classics take place while the announcers barely pay attention, and blather on about Hogan and the NWO. Last week it was Malenko vs Benoit tonight it's those two against Guerrero and Jericho.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Speaking of WCW, I'm on a shoot interview kick. Really enjoy hearing Bischoff's take on working with performers as individuals:

lol same. I've watched like 12 Jim Cornette videos back to back. Jesus Christ does he ever hate Shawn Michaels.

Cornettes shoot on Kenny king is an instant classic

Have you seen the Kenny King / Rhett Titus "A Full Case of Tales with the All Night Express" shoot? It's a classic from 2012, really captures the different eras of ROH, and their issues with what Cornette's 2011/2012 ROH product was.
