Title: Strange WWE Commercial
Post by: Thin Lizzy on January 06, 2014, 08:30:31 PM
While listening to WFAN, which is the sports talk radio station in NYC, a commercial for a WWE house show came on, and one of the matches announced was Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt in a steel cage.

What's strange is that, on television, Bryan just joined the Wyatt family.

So, either the commercial gave away the storyline, Bryan turning face again, or the match is completely outside the storyline.

I believe it's the March 7 show at The Garden. So, two months from, now.

It's probably accurate - at least right now. Vince is known to have stories and angles planned months ahead of time. However, in recent years, he's also been known to make changes the afternoon of a show.

Yeah, they probably have the resolution of the storyline planned out, but it just seemed odd that they would be promoting a match based on events that haven't happened, yet.

Was it WWE's own commercial, or was it the radio's?

It had to be the WWE's.

That didn't take long. Bryan turned face on tonight's Raw.

I didn't see any of it; worked late and went to bed early.

The angle does seem awfully rushed. How did it play out?

Caught the end of the show.

Steel cage match. Usos vs Bryan & Bray. Usos win. Bray wants to punish Bryan by giving him his finishing move. Bryan resists. They face off. Punches exchanged. Bryan gets the best of it. Takes off his Wyatt outfit and reveals his regular wrestling gear. He climbs the cage and does his "Yes" chant. Crowd follows along.

While it was rushed, I must admit it was well done. I was marking out, really wanting to see Bryan beat the shit out of Wyatt.

The crowd was absolutely beserk for Bryan.

They're going to have to give him THE push soon.

I hope they recognize this.

Where would Cena fit into this?

If it was my decision, I'd have Cena step back and give his face a break for a little while. Let injuries heal up while doing some other projects and PR work for he company. But, maybe keep him off of TV just for a bit, which will likely keep him fresh and make him hotter when he comes back.

Recently caught a Jim Cornette podcast in which he basically echoes this post.

The line he used was, "We can't miss you if you don't go away."

Cornette's always had a good mind for the business. He just never had the purse strings to match Vince and Turner.

Smokey Mountain is now property of WWE. I believe that was part of the deal when Cornette went to work there full time after closing down SMW around '95.

The last I heard, Cornette and Danny Davis were operating some kind of wrestling academy for trainees.
