Daniel Bryan = Matt Hardy circa 2005

Moonlighting my split personality shifts between Catholic apologist and pro wrestling nutjob,..I often find myself without the time to blog about pro wrestling,..err sports entertainment. Hopefully a new company will be starting soon in Montreal or as my american friends call it 'Mahntreeall.' Has wrestling been good? Let's just say within the analogy of peaks and valleys, wrestling is definetly in a valley!

My last post regarded the NXT/Nexus invasion. It was awesome. Nuff said,.or is it? You see, the WWE being PG as well as being a publically traded company must answer to shareholders and thus, the angles from the attitude era that many of us remember, will be relegated for the time being to the backround. Remember Wrestlemania? IF you do, you'll remember that there was no blood. IT was still entertaining, but that 'oumphh factor' was missing. This brings me to Daniel Bryan Danielson, whatever the suits want to call him. After choking the ring annoucer with his tie, the most over guy in the NXT group was given the boot! Apparently not by Johnny Ace, but by McMahon himself via phone. I smeelllllllaaaaaaa a Matt Hardy angle, do you,..Remember when he was involved in an affair (as the victim) between him and Edge? Well, the crowd wanted Matt back and Vince obliged. I believe the same will happen with Bryan Danielson,..the 'Final Countdown' to his return is underway! (Yes pun intended!)

NXT Invasion

Yes I know, please save your 'where have you been?' questions for somebody who actually cares! I'm back, that's all you need to know. What brought me back was that this past Monday's Raw, I saw the beginning of probably what will be the hottest angle on TV. The NXT rookies came out of the stands with the exception of Wade Berrett and proceeded to beat the holy hell out of poster boy John Cena. (Yes, they beat up the entire crew, then destroyed the ring,..) The symbolism was unbelievable and I can't wait to see where they go with this angle. Its fresh, new, exciting,..I just can't wait!
