As a pro wrestling fan, I'm still really skeptical. I just can't get past the WWE showing something like that, if they were so adamantly against it.

all replays of the attack did not show that part (Danielson choking Roberts)...it was edited out on NXT and Smackdown. I didnt see Superstars to see there
I did see that Iceberg. Doesn't RAW (like most live shows) run on a few second delay? If the tie choke wasn't part of the script, then couldn't they just not show it (on the live RAW).

Most live events only are usually not delayed. I know from the live feed (on C-Band) and what I could see on USA was about 8-10 seconds but that is due to the uplink/downlink that USA does and I have a DVR.
Its possible the WWE didnt really know exactly what anybody was going to do....or how far they were going to go.
I wonder what they did in Canada. They are delayed 15 minutes on "The Score" but not to censor like it use to be when they were on TSN. TSN would edit when a guy was going to hit a woman or something like that with "random crowd shows from 5 years ago"
The Score per their license can only show X hours of live shows....delaying it 15 minutes gets around that part of the license

I guess I was under the impression that there was a few second delay. Back in March, Steve Austin was censored a few times when he said some "non PG" words.

I have to say the choking part was funny but anything to do with Cole would be stupid. Also the ratings and the show Raw as a whole sucks here lately and has been for a long time. The only thing that spikes ratings is when Austin is even mentioned or The Rock is discussed. Vince MUST bring back some older guys to spike things up a bit no matter how he does it or how much it costs. DX still lives on through Hornswaggles shirts which kinda makes me wonder if DX will return even if Shawn Michaels doesn't. Getting The Rock back would be a major plus if anything to just smack some people around for a while as a GM.
I'm getting a little tired of the Guest Hosts also, I loved the A-Team movie but the skit they did with only 2 of the cast members was just stupid. The 3rd cast member only came on stage and talked and Liam just didn't show up at all. The whole "BA" breaking the hand cuff off on the rope wasn't done very well with the camera man looking right at it while there was no stress being put on it while Rampage was faking it. Also Rampage losing his fight a few weeks ago before the movie release and coming on WWE didn't help his image none either.

Rock doesnt want anything to do with wrestling anymore. He's an actor
I agree on the hosts. Its getting stupid and should end soon but this week might be good. I dont care who it is (some guy who has a show on USA IIRC) but his co-host is the Big Show
28th is Rob Zombie
Another thing that gets old and seriously if you had a drinking game while watching RAW you'd be wasted
take a shot every time they say "WWE Universe"
take 2 shots every time Cole says "the longest running episodic show"
you'd be wasted in the 1st hour
I'm looking forward to RAW tonight to see the followup. Just a shame that Danielson won't be there. I initially thought it was all a "work", but when evidence points to the contrary, I can't anymore. I guess one positive thing to come out of this is, that the WWE is apparently open to rehiring Bryan when the situation cools down.
you have to remember a few things
-WWE is now TV-PG because....
-Linda McMahon is trying for a seat on Senate
and one other thing....for wrestling fans who read the internet
-Chris Benoit killed his wife the same way (well he used a cord) but he had his knee pressed on her back.
It might be a work with Danielson coming in from the crowd or something like that or working a few Indy shows but he'll be back
but ice remember the angle with jericho and jbl choking with a rope after the benoit death and nothing was done
It was TV-14 then so a little more edgy
Jericho/JBL I think happened before that...same year but earlier.

JOHN CENA SAYS HE WANTS BRYAN DANIELSON BACK IN WWE - UPDATED
By Buck Woodward on 2010-06-13 20:48:20
John Cena has posted the following on his Twitter account tonight. Needless to say, this should get people talking:
"I am very upset to hear about the release of bryan danielson. Social networks were formed so people would have a voice, and an opinon. I Know you all have your own, theories and whatnot. I respect that. I have never asked any of you to feel a certaint way about me. But Bryan left a lasting impression on the wwe universe in a very short time, and although it came at my expense, I agree with the majority Of you who are caught off guard by this choice. I know I'm not exactly appreciated by all, nor do I care to be, but I believe what I believe. I would like bryan to come back to the wwe. I would like to sign your petition to bring him back. I was taught to stand up for what I beileve in. I tried and failed, so I could Use some help. Tell me how to sign and I will. If for nothing else, to at least have a chance to have a match with him after what was done I know that seems a bit more fair. Give me a chance to have a fair match with him, and give him yet another chance to prove that he does Belong with us. Sorry for the long message, I know I am probally way out of line, I am sorry if I have offended anyone. But like me or not That is what Hustle. Loyalty. And most importantly Respect means to me. Enjoy game 5."
Since that post (actually a series of posts, due to Twitter limits) was made, I've had my email box flooded with opinions. Some think it is a shoot, some think it is a work, and some think it is the result of someone hacking Cena's account. I guess we'll see what it really is.
UPDATE: Several hours have passed, Cena has continued to tweet about other items, and the Danielson comments are still up, so it would appear those thinking it was a hacker are incorrect. So, now we can just wonder what Cena's true intentions are with his comments. Let the speculation continue!
