There was a thread on the board titled ''Does Anyone think Daniel Bryan to NJPW Is a work?'' Some of the posters were like ''think of his kid! He can't wrestle again!''

Dave posted

What percentage of Americans who worked regularly in Japan had kids?

I'd suggest 80 percent or more.

Those dirty rotten scummy Funks, Hansen, Williams, AJ Styles, Brody, Vader, Anderson, Destroyer, Thesz and everyone else.

It is not a work.

The sad thing is the one about him thinking the last test may not be valid. And I can't say 100 percent he'd wrong on that. But it is a test being used heavily on soldiers in combat and the only reason it's not used on athletes more extensively (and there are athletes that use it) is because it's new.

I can only say this. He very very badly wanted out of the contract and WWE turned him down and froze it. It's not thawing out and will expire next year. Only he in 2018 will know what he feels like doing at the time.

I'm not sure doing the AJ Japan schedule of G-1, tag tourney and a week here and there around big shows is somehow worse for a father with a young daughter than 200 dates for WWE plus more because of media and personal appearance obligations of a top star.

Anyway, I hope people bring up the daughter have lost all respect for every single wrestler on the WWE schedule as well so at least you're consistent.

Again, does anyone find it interesting that the WWE has sent exactly 0 wrestlers to be tested by Evoke since Bryan's test revealed something that all the other specialists and their own doctors could never find?

It's a CON-SPIRAC-Y. Bryan to NJPW confirmed.

This first one :dead:

"In a meet and greet in Sydney, Australia, Chae (Nitro girl) was asked if she was dating Kevin Nash. She said that she was. Kevin Nash a few weeks back on TV said he was going out after the show to 'eat a little Korean' so I guess that publicly puts one and one together" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 16, 2000

"A Tv Series starring Duggan called 'Biker's Court' was attempting to be sold for syndication at the NATPE convention last week. It was a worked cross between Judge Judy and Jerry Springer, with bikers as the jurors, a silicon implanted baliff and Duggan carrying his 2X4 as the judge. A typical episode is a midget smoker who is suing the tobacco companies claiming smoking stunted his growth and asking for compensation for a multimillion dollar NBA career that he didn't have" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: February 21, 2000

"Flair is about to be dropped from the Time Magazine Man of the Century internet balloting where he is currently in second place behind Jesus Christ. More than 20 million people have voted, making it the biggest web poll in history, with Flair getting more than 310,000 votes as of 3/31. Flair is being dropped because Janice Castro, the editor of Time.com, said his showing is due to unfair lobbying from wrestling web sites. Jesus is about to go down as well, as religious organizations have gotten members to flood the ballot box too. Time.com is planning an exit strategy, however with the God of wrestling and the Son of God removed, the big winner in the poll appears to be Adolf Hitler, who would become the front runner"

"At this point in the show, the guy on the 1-800-CALL-ATT commercial was the most charismatic performer on the show" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 13, 1999

"When Bischoff goes heel as company President, he's going to have a black woman bodybuilder and two midgets as part of his entourage" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 6, 1999

It wasn't Bret Hart driving the monster truck nor was Sid in the car that was being run over, although both were the original plan. Hart was told what part of the car to drive over and where Sid would be in the car so as to not drive over him. Hart refused saying he wasn't an experienced stunt driver. There was no problem with his decision and he was apologized to for being asked" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: January 10, 2000."

"CNN ran a special on Goldberg on 10/22. They showed Vince Russo and the booking team talking about a Nitro where Bill Goldberg would get revenge on Scott Steiner. Russo had an idea that Steiner would be in the dressing room bleaching his mustache and Goldberg would pour Clorox down Steiner's throat. Ed Ferrara noted that you don't bleach a mustache with Clorox. He then said they could use bleach instead."- The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 30, 2000

"The Giant was accused by a hotel clerk of coming up to her and saying 'Do you know why they call me The Giant?' and she responded 'Because you're so tall' and he responded by allegedly whipping it out and rubbing it on her. Because of The Giant's size, the police were scared to death and sent 24 officers to the Mid South Coliseum to pick him up"

A fan hit Goldberg with a cardboard Star of David" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: October 16, 2000

Eddie Guerrero claimed that one of the Mexicans stole his wallet but didn't know which one because they all wore masks" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: July 12, 1999
