Ironically the last people he was working with were Rollins, Bryan, and CM Punk. None of them his fault though.

The titular Survivor Series matches were meaningless. Golddust returning was nice, though.
Bros. of Destruction vs. Wyatts had a no surprise ending. Entrances were great, though.
...And Seamus is the champ. Great. An Ambrose vs. Authority story would have been the best, most entertaining route. Dean had all the makings of being a new age Stone Cold when he turned face and The Shield broke up, but like everything else, WWE Creative done fucked it up.

Well, Survivor Series is a Thanksgiving tradition. It was nice of Undertaker to bring some squash.
And of all the options they could've chosen for an ending to the main event, they chose the one the NOBODY wanted most of all. Just...wow. Fuck this company.

Now, now, @ThatNickGuy - don't write this off as the worst possible ending. We're not even close. Remember who comes back in a month or so, who is one title reign away from Flair...

Well that was a hell of a RAW. That's the kind of excitement it's been missing. I'm stunned they put the belt on Reigns tonight, though. It looked the like plan was to do it at Mania. Glad they did it, though, instead of dragging it out.
Now how do they follow it up?
-Clear Bryan; Bring him back as a surprise entrant in the Rumble.
-Bring the Rock back to face HHH at Mania. They both want to do it.
-Pit the Wyatts against the League of Nations. I was on board when they teased it.
-Put the Divas belt on Sasha. I like Charlotte as a performer, but Flair Flair Flair We get it already.
Bring back Damien Sandow. Like right SandNOW.
-Bring back Kurt Angle for a short program to take the US title off Del Rio and then retire.
-Turn Kalisto into the next Rey Mysterio. That match against Ryback was fantastic.
New Day: Carry on.

Mauro Ranallo on Smackdown highlights how shit WWE's announce team is. He's SO much better than Lawlor and Saxton it makes me think he'll be gone very quickly.
Also, how roidy magoo is Alberto Del Rio? His skin can barely contain him.
Seriously, one day on the job and Mauro is the best announcer in wrestling.

Now, now. AJ and Sami might get matches. We should get a hardcore Ambrose-Owens match. They were great. Or clear Bryan to challenge for the title he never lost. Give New Day some fresh opponents to grab the tag titles, put Neville up against Kalisto, have Stone Cold and the Rock open the show (eventually taking out HHH's backup at ringside), and bring in Samoa Joe to challenge next.
Hunter's ego puts him in the main event, but if he's got at least some creative control, he'll drop the belt in a crazy match.

So, I've given Lucha Underground a shot. Two days later I'm 8 episodes into the first season. Lucha Underground is fucking awesome. I really only have two gripes and both of them are the commentators, Matt Striker gets way too gross when talking about women and Vampiro sucks, he sucks really bad.
It's hard to take their intergender stuff seriously when Matt Striker can't stop mentioning how much he wants to fuck them.

I watched the season 2 premiere of Lucha Underground. First exposure to it and I found it fantastic. I've come very close to keeping a subscription to SlingTV just to watch it, but I can't justify $20 a month just for one show. Especially since the ads on El Rey network make me want to stick an ice pick in my ear.
Just in time for this Sunday!

At least he's getting out before he ends up like so many other professional athletes: unable to function into old age because of the knocks he took during his career. And it's good that the company is being cool about it (as far as we know anyway).

Yeah, it looks like he's done. Such a sad story, because he was as big as Hogan, Austin, and the Rock. He just didn't get the time to build it more.
There's a lot of people who think it's a work. Bringing him back now would sell some people on Wrestlemania, especially in some kind of - any - championship match. Plus, they're in Seattle tonight. Everyone remembers that Mark Henry all-time fake-out. I think he chose Seattle to say goodbye.

I hope it is, I fear that it's not.
The thing I always appreciated about Bryan is he came across as genuine. No matter what he did, he never felt like he was being something he wasn't. Even as a heel, you could tell he loved every waking minute of being there, entertaining people and performing. His love of the wrestling business shined through. And honestly, in a business like this? It's rare.
Also, those reactions, WWE? That's legitimate, earned love and respect from an audience. Not the kind of thing you're trying to force with Roman Reigns.

This was Daniel Bryan's last match before his injuries put him on the shelf and eventual retirement.
Some are speculating that he had a legit seizure during the match (around the 2:20 mark) and they pulled an audible to end the match early with a countout. If it's true, it's scary to consider, since Sheamus goes to pick him up and he's a dead weight.
