Breaking News: Daniel Bryan Fired From WWE

The following is from WWE.com:

Daniel Bryan released

WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors.

The story of Daniel Bryan’s firing from World Wrestling Entertainment continues to grow.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider the real reason Bryan was fired from WWE was because of his actions during the NXT beat down from last Monday’s RAW. He apparently went above and beyond WWE’s current TV-PG mantra when he choked out RAW’s ring announcer Justin Roberts with his own tie on the ringside floor, while Roberts was shirtless. A company protocol was put in place after the Benoit tragedy in 2007 where on-air talents were no longer allowed to use ropes or objects to choke opponents.

The decision to release Bryan was apparently made on Friday and he was informed before it went public. According to pro wrestling insider Dave Meltzer, his firing was due to pressure from an outside source following Monday night's angle. The choking of Roberts with his tie and spitting in John Cena's face were the two major strikes against Bryan. Apparently Vince McMahon and the company had no choice.

Suspicion, and only suspicion, says that either WWE’s recent association with Mattel in producing their new line of action figures and accessories influenced the decision. A top reigning toy company would not like to be associated with a live on-air choking from their cast of characters. The other thought is that Linda McMahon’s campaign for the a Senatorial seat in Connecticut also had an influence on the decision to release Bryan.

While many fans, pundits and those in the industry hope this is still a “work,” more and more this is looking like it is a legitimate release of the most popular Rookies from NXT, season one and arguably the most famous pro wrestler on the independent circuit. If this is still a storyline then it is one of the greatest ever pulled off by World Wrestling Entertainment.

Pero este Cena es todo un puñal dos caras porque hace poco abrió una cuenta en Twitter y luego del despido de Daniel Bryan empezó a escribir mensajes a favor de él e incluso cuestionó la decisión de la WWE. Según parece la gerencia le ordenó que abriera una cuenta en Twitter para que tratara de caerle mejor a los fans.

Scorpion vs. Ryu escribió:La WWE está fatal man, según ellos eso de los de NXT es buenísimo y nada que ver, fue bueno ver que le patearan el trasero a Cena pero ahora Cena estaba el lunes en pie como si nada y fijo retiene el título el domingo.

Ya no me gusta la WWE, sobre todo desde que despidieron a Shelton Benjamin y a Carlito y desde que se fue Batista, ahorita se va Jericho, no me gusta cómo lo desperdician a él y ni que se diga a Christian.

- While the tie incident with Justin Roberts is said to be the reason Vince McMahon gave to Bryan Danielson for his WWE release, some in the company believe that Danielson spitting on John Cena may have been the real reason. Vince hates spitting and has banned it in WWE’s rings for a long time. Vince has a hatred for people spitting, smoking and sneezing. At the same time, it’s pretty much guaranteed that Danielson didn’t spit on Cena without clearing the move with Cena himself ahead of time.
