WWE: Monday Night Raw 128 - Thank You, Bryan

[Sheppy]

The most tear-inducing promo since Mark Henry was crying while reciting his poem for Owen.

Yep, that one strikes me as well. Also, Benoit on Eddie during the RAW got me badly too.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

So this whole time, WWE was right for keeping him out.

Makes you think.

Was never his biggest fan. But god damn, he was great at what he did. He's changed the wrestling culture.

I mean, for all you know bryan still believes he can go and has outside doctors to back him up. But WWE never will so what choice did he have? it's not like he would throw WWE under the bos live on their show.

We won't really know the exact truth.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Flair got a sendoff, and now Bryan. Could Taker or Cena get anything close to this when they retire?

Cena is going to be The Rock where he keeps coming back every year or so so I doubt it.

Taker definitely as once he is done he is done I imagine. Will be different emotional as he won't break kayfabe the entire time.

 

[strungout]

Needed The Final Countdown in there somewhere.

Anyways...concussions are ruining all the fun.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Firing up Raw on the DVR and I'm already about to cry

Undertaker could probably fill a stadium just of people who could be part of a curtain call.

 

[EvilCoop]

I got to see Daniel Bryan wrestle at a flea market during his brief two month release from the WWE, I also got to see Donald Trump shave Vince's hair off.

Guess which event was my favorite?

 

[Fish on The Sand]

I wish they made the roster come out on TV not on the network.

I hate to say it but vince looked like the happiest person on stage for bryan. Wouldn't stop clapping and yes'ing for bryan.

and i know this is a silly thing to complain about but, brock really couldn't come out to cheer on bryan for a few minutes? **** staying in character or if you don't like being around other people.

They did the same to protect Undertaker after Owen's death, plus he might not have even been there anymore.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I'd be shocked if Taker gave a speech.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Yep, that one strikes me as well. Also, Benoit on Eddie during the RAW got me badly too.

Too bad you weren't the last one Benoit got.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'd be shocked if Taker gave a speech.

He'll do his knee thing. Take in the crowd reaction and walk out with his fist up and its The End.

What on earth does owen's death have to do with a retirement speech?

It's not like it was blown up all over the world. He could have stayed the extra 30 mins. Just seems like a dick move.

 

[Sheppy]

Too bad you weren't the last one Benoit got.

Himself?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Flair got a sendoff, and now Bryan. Could Taker or Cena get anything close to this when they retire?

Vince won't let Taker or Cena retire. They will wrestle for him all the way to the grave.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

It's not like it was blown up all over the world. He could have stayed the extra 30 mins. Just seems like a dick move.

If they are willing to protect someone's character when one of their roster died they'd certainly be willing to do it for an early retirement. You need to calm down buddy.

Taker wasn't out there after Owen died to protect kayfabe. Possibly similar situation with Brock here...if he was even still there. Don't think Heyman was out there either.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm so grateful to have comeback to watching WWE in time to see Bryan's entire run in the company.

 

[GKJ]

Taker supposedly left to go be with the Hart family.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'm so grateful to have comeback to watching WWE in time to see Bryan's entire run in the company.

His road to Mania, and win at 30 was some of the best fun I've had watching this product in a long time both before and since.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Taker supposedly left to go be with the Hart family.

He did.

And if you go back and watch the PPV, he was clearly close to losing it before Austin made his entrance for their match.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Lesnar was probably waiting in the back for him.

Punk painted Lesnar as a pretty down to earth guy, just one that liked to be with smaller groups of people.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Taker supposedly left to go be with the Hart family.

Well I wouldn't be surprised if both were involved. Taker was being respectful, but they still wanted him off TV to keep kayfabe.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Also very possible.

Perhaps you should brush up on internet talk, no one is foaming at the mouth here.

and incase you haven't noticed they were breaking kayfabe all throughout his speech. Not to mention the biggest heels in the company were out there clapping for the man. what's the excuse "he's the beast, he doesn't clap for people off the air, damnit!"

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

My top 3 wrestlers ever
1. Owen
2. Bryan
3. Benoit

I don't see that changing ever.
