He only wants 50-100 matches.. No way Vince gives him that deal. He's gone. Why not? The rosters are so stacked right now, filling a house show card is easier than ever. Bryan has a history of serious injuries, and it's the smart thing to do (both for him and WWE) to limit his in-ring time. If they can have him work 50-100 matches a year, and get another 3-5 years out of him, and still fully merchandise him and feature him on TV full-time, that's the best case for everyone. It'd be so dumb and short-sighted to run him into the ground over the next 3 months, getting another career-threatening injury, and ruining his body, character, and overall value to the company. Think smarter, not harder! And you're also talking about a person that Vince let sit on the sidelines paying him, instead of releasing him so he wouldn't go wrestle somewhere else....

You mean when he was actively on TV as SD GM?

Considering how much better NJPW/ROH is to watch and how much better it's booked, I hope he leaves as soon as he can.

I don't blame him for not wanting to work a full-time schedule right off the bat. I think his mind could probably be changed if the circumstances were right, but right now Bryan has all the leverage. He could easily leave and work less dates in Japan while still making a very good living. If the WWE isn't willing to commit to using him in a feature role, why would he be in a rush to re-sign with them?

If he goes to New Japan/ROH instead of re-signing then I'm all for him leaving.

Well Impact wrestling could do with Bryan's help. He could be in a role similar to TNA Kurt Angle. Bryan doesn't want to have to go on food stamps so no Well Impact wrestling can afford to pay more than food stamps to big names eg Lashley.

I hope he leaves. WWE has screwed with him so much. Why was the WM30 build so good, and his rise so authentic?
Because it was authentic. WWE never wanted Bryan as their guy, even after he got over more than anyone since Austin, they still didn’t want him as the guy.
It’s true. It will never not be true. I hope he leaves and tells them to basically kiss his ass.

I was just at the MSG show and they said they'll be back on December 26 where Daniel Bryan will make his return to MSG after nearly 3 years.
Obviously card subject to change but if WWE knew/ thought he'd be leaving I don't think they'd be advertising him for so far in the future. He's also announced for Super Showdown on October 9.
I say he stays.

He did a great job with his spots also. His entrance really is like no other.

Reports are also that Bryan is heavily featured in this year's WWE 2K promotion. And the game doesn't come out till late October. Add that to the MSG announcement and it sounds like the expect him to stay.
So if I had to guess, while nothing has officially been signed, both sides have expressed a desire for Bryan to stay. And that they're just working out the lil details and lawyer talk now. 50-100 dates is more than fair. If they can get it close to 100, that makes sure he's on every SD and every PPV. Then he'd have left over dates for the big shows and bigger tours also.
The way I look at it is, they opened Pandora's box with Brock's schedule. So it was only a matter of time till others wanted the same treatment.

You mean when he was actively on TV as SD GM? actually a little before that, there was a story about him wanting to give notice to WWE, but WWE froze his contract because he was injured, so subsequently he didn't have the right to give notice and his contract would never run out until he returned. Later though after he was GM he did an interview where he said there were times he "thought" about asking for his release to wrestle in the independent scene, so he may not have even asked....

Daniel Bryan is not going to go to TNA. If he leaves WWE he's going to do like what Cody is doing where he does NJPW/ROH and other Indy shows at his own discretion. Yep. And he specifically said a few times that doing a Hair vs Mask match in CMLL was a career goal for him. Bryan confuses me. He wants to wrestle for the WWE, gets the green light to wrestle, and now he is unsure of wrestling for the WWE and misses his family life.... the same family life he wanted to get away from to be a wrestler again. Well he said he wanted to wrestle, I don't know that WWE was the specific goal. Plus having a baby changes everything. Wrestling was the be-all end-all of his life and now it's his little girl.

I would love to see him pop up outside wwe, but being careful is the top priority now (I changed my tune to this after Hiromu), so maybe their wrestling style may be his safest bet. He will want to go all out and put on brilliant matches in the indies, aaa/cmll, njpw, etc., but to what extent can you do that without head bumps, and would he do it that way? The man has heart, passion, and drive, but could that be too dangerous for him?
