Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis, and I need you!
After finally accomplishing the Drive to Five… hundred thousand YouTube subscribers, we locked
our Terminator sights in on climbing the Hill to One Mill...ion YouTube subscribers.
Turns out that’s actually rather far away.
And I like easy wins.
So if you’ve ever watched a WrestleTalk video, if you’d enjoy daily video summaries
of the biggest backstage stories in professional wrestling, then please subscribe to this channel
now because: We’ll pull tricks for six… hundred thousand
subscribers.
Like pulling off a magic trick.
Nah, I’m pretty sure that’s the only meaning of that phrase.
Fakidor’s agreeing.
And he’s really trustworthy.
Another achievement that’s been almost as long in the making is Daniel Bryan’s near-two
year feud with The Miz.
The two infamously clashed on SmackDown LIVE’s old post-show Talking Smack in 2016 [IMAGE],
but because Bryan was retired, the tension never resulted in a match.
With Bryan being medically cleared back in March, though, and both men being drafted
to the same brand, their first one-on-one meeting is so close, it actually happened
last night.
Despite wrestling Shelton Benjamin on SmackDown’s TV broadcast, Bryan pulled double duty by
facing The Miz in the night’s dark match main event for the live Memphis crowd only.
Bryan eventually got the win, after the crowd reportedly broke into chants of “punch his
face”.
Not quite as life-affirming as the ‘Yes!’ chant, but I suppose it’ll do.
And according to Justin LaBar, we might be seeing that feud on TV very soon:
“For what it's worth it was just advertised locally here in Pittsburgh that Extreme Rules
in July would have Miz versus Bryan “Yes!
...I mean, Punch Him In The Face!
Reigns versus Jinder - OH GOD DAMM- Ronda Rousey's WWE debut match in Pitt plus Styles
and Nakamura will be featured on the card.
#RAW” Bryan reportedly has yet to sign a new WWE
contract with his current deal expiring on September 1st.
While he’s largely expected to stay with the company, a new challenge might’ve peaked
his interest.
During a live streamed Q+A session on Brie Bella’s Instagram page - which Pro Wrestling
Sheet managed to capture - a fan asked how Bryan would fare against the man who beat
CM Punk at UFC 225 last Saturday.
Bryan: Did they just ask me if I could beat Mike Jackson in a fight?
I can beat him on the ground for sure, I think.
Brie: You could definitely beat him.
Bryan: If WWE would let me fight in UFC, maybe.
Trash talking that Jackson himself quickly replied to on Twitter:
“Hey, @WWEDanielBryan, don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash.
You don’t want to get potatoed like your mans did at #UFC225.”
To which Bryan responded: “Interesting”
This is likely just Bryan trolling fa-what’s that sound?
Could it be?
But I thought it was over with when Bryan finally returned to the ring!
Dear God, it’s here!
The Counter lives, and it appears to have been reset.
Surely Bryan gives an actual Terry Funk now.
He’s back in the ring.
He’s wrestling again.
But he’s also joking about UFC.
His WWE contract expires in September.
Daniel Bryan gives…
Point 5 Terry Funks.
What does this mean?
But how would Daniel Bryan fare in the Marvel or DC Universes?!
