Did anyone actually believe it was? Honestly, I did- simply because of the timing. If they said it at any other storyline, it'd be seen as a load of crap- but, if you look back at that exact storyline, it really would have explained SO MUCH about the angle if it was looked at as "Bryan was supposed to come out as the payoff for the Bella Twins angle, but someone got cold feet at the last minute". It would have probably made sense (and if any straight wrestler came out as the payoff to an angle, then Daniel Bryan may have been the only wrestler on the planet with enough street cred to pull that storyline off and get more over from it.) Hmm... Fair enough. Makes sense.

We would have had Sakamoto taking the role as AJ during the Bryan/AJ storyline.

I seem to remember some odd rumblings early on between DB and Derrick Bateman/EC3.
But then again that may have just been in my pants.

You know it could've worked. I see nothing wrong with a young handsome athletic MMA-styled badass who happens to be gay. If Bryan actually were gay he would've Made a great positive role model for gay youth. Do you really think that WWE would be able to portray "happens to be gay" though? It would be a perfectly reasonable character, but WWE doesn't really work in "perfectly reasonable". Bryan would be wearing leather chaps, pseudo biker gear, shades and dangly earrings within the month. So early road warriors?

Bryan was never on live television before, and he was scared half to death.

Gay Guy: "Want to come back to my place and listen to my Madonna collection?"
Bryan: "YES! YES! YES! YES!"

It would have been excruciating. The WWE would have played it straight at first, but you know they eventually would have gone with every outdated gay cliche they could muster because it's keyfabe, that makes it all right in their eyes just like all the horrible ethnic stereotypes. Eventually Bryan would be revealed to have been straight all along, because reasons.

I'd just like to point out that the guy who tweeted this (former writer) said that he can't believe how gullible news sites are to take a joke of his and report it like it was an actual piece of news. AKA it's not true. Pfft... that never happens... BTW did you hear that Vince decided to pass on signing someone for being Too Asian
