OH. MY. GOD.

 

[Kimi]

Well then.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Lost in the amazingness of this news is the awfulness in which they've revealed this.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I’m in shock.

Both at the news and announcing it on a Tuesday afternoon via social media

Lost in the amazingness of this news is the awfulness in which they've revealed this.

should have had it announced tonight when they make the tag match. the pop would have been enormous.

with that said, holy shit.

 

[TNT87]

Talk about some major news. Wow. I certainly wasn't expecting this.

 

[BonMorrison]

Screaming

 

[SeidoN]

alrighty then

 

[Disclose]

i couldnt be happier.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

What in the blue f***?

Tempted to go multiquote all the naysayers that matter of factly said he'd never return and to stop dreaming =P

Surprises don't sell tickets.

 

[Sheppy]

Oh my god!

Don’t waste him in a tag match!

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Why would they do it like this? They should have said there was a major announcement tonight on Smackdown.

Let everyone guess but don't give it away before the show!

 

[Engebretson]

 

[Natey]

I expected it tonight but still happy. Disappointed by the way they did it.

Stupidest. Thing. Ever.

Imagine the pop if he came out for a match and no one knew?

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Surprises don't sell tickets.

Surprises keep you wanting to watch the product though. Short term pain for long term gain. A Bryan surprise return to wrestle could have gone down as one of the best WWE moments ever. Now....not.

What's going to get more ratings?

 

[dahrougem2]

Selfishly I was hoping Bryan would leave WWE because I hate their product but I'm happy he gets to come back doing what he loves

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

A ratings pop for one night vs. word of mouth and people talking about Bryans surprise return to action...I will take word of mouth and building up the WWE as "anything can happen at anytime." Incredibly short sighted IMO.

Even if they had a Bryan surprise reveal he's facing someone at WM before the event on TV it would have been better.

But just picture this for a second....They sell that AJ got injured somehow the day of wrestlemania, an attack, whatever, Nakamura needs an opponent....He waits in the ring....at Wrestlemania.....Daniel Bryans music hits and he makes his way down as his opponent.

vs.

What we just got. Whats a better moment?

 

[Disclose]

Daniel f***ing bryan is back and we're talking about how they announced it.

 

[Sheppy]

I f***ing hate how they announce it the way they did though. Like f***, let him swerve it tonight.

The company isn't smart though.

 

[Mitchy]

hooooooooooooooooooolllllllyyyyyyyy f***ing shit

Yep. WWE has been so bad and predictable for years now that I don't even bother to tune into most shows. Bryan coming out unannounced would totally peak my interest and make me wanting more. This is big news, but doesn't nearly have the same effect.
