I'm all for it. He'd be winded by the time he hits the ring, though.

"How were we supposed to know that Khali had been embezzling money for years? By the time we caught him, we were out $2 billion and he'd managed to disappear to somewhere in the South Pacific!" - Vince McMahon
"My friends. I truly did enjoy performing in the WWE. However, my plan all along had been to secretly bleed you dry in order to fund my own personal island paradise. My bio-dome doesn't finance itself, you understand. And despite my ground breaking work in genetically modifying food to be larger and grow in harsher climates, I never received the financial backing needed to achieve my dreams. Many looked at my large, awkward form and assumed I was simple. Even more heard me speak and jumped to the same conclusion. So it was all too easy to play the fool for years, dancing with Hornswoggle, kissing women, and occassionally brain chopping Heath Slater. And I grew to love the role, but now it's time to step off stage. Goodbye my friends, do not seek me, for it will bring you only pain and sorrow." - The Great Khali, in an anonymous letter found taped to Jinder Mahal's bag.

Jack Swagger's coming back as a tea-party patriot? Oh God this is going to be a terrible gimmick. Hopefully they don't drag anybody else into it...
I heard WWE just signed Bryan Danielson. I assume he's gonna languish in FCW for a while, then get quietly released. He's a good wrestler, but he just cannot connect with a crowd to save his life. On the bright side, I hear good things about this "Michael Tarver" guy. He wears a cool mask!!!
Oh great, they just had Big Show debut as Jericho's new tag team partnet. Can't wait for them to stink up the ring.

Real answer: Similar to Punk, get as much indy footage as you can and discuss it. Mention the fact that Bryan's been fired twice from the WWE but came back better and stronger each time.
The funny thing is his first televised match in WWE (vs Jericho on NXT) is good enough that you could easily put it on a "Best of" set of matches.
Joke answer: "We though you were chanting "Yes" ironically, we're really sorry, HHH has mild autism and misses a lot of social cues because of that: The Daniel Bryan Story".

One term that always pops up in newz is word of "backstage heat". There are a lot of different things that can cause this, so I wanted to try and clarify the backstage heat I've heard of, from most nuclear to least.
Daniel Bryan level. This means you made HHH and Stephanie's children cry, and you're blacklisted from the WWE forever. Alternately, you are 100% responsible for a less than stellar buy rate and will be demoted to Superstars duty for life.
CM Punk level. You either didn't wear a suit to a press conference, or you walked around backstage with a fur coat and gold chains. Prepare to lose your title to the Undertaker and be relegated to the midard doghouse. And we mean forever, we can hold a grudge.
Ryback level. You're on your last chance here, if you don't get this bully gimmick over/draw a good buyrate vs Punk/ get over as a Heyman guy/ have a decent tag team with Axel you'll be on your way back to NXT.
Drew McIntyre level. Your girlfriend went insane and beat you up. We're either mad at you for that, or for hanging out with Chavo maybe. Despite the fact that you've gotten no reaction for months, we're going to relegate you to jobber status starting right...... now.
The SHIELD level You didn't shake somebody's hand so you're gonna lose a PPV match or two but remain a focus of both shows and be on every PPV. HOPE THIS TEACHES YOU AN IMPORTANT LESSON.
Sin Cara level Who the hell knows what you did now, we like your gimmick though. Just please don't tweet from Mexico during Raw, okay?
Mark Henry level Don't make us re-hire Tony Atlas to drive you around and watch what you eat. Cause we'll do it.

Orton reveals his ace in the hole - he's wired the arena with explosives. If anyone other than him touches the belt, then the whole place is going to explode.
Cena has no idea what to do - either save the lives of thousands of people and let Orton's reign of terror continue, or end his title reign and kill thousands. Suddenly he remembers his training from "The Marine" and "12 Rounds".
"Okay Randy, I really have to GIVE YOU A HAND for that one" As he rips of Orton's arm.
"You're looking a little DISARMED, huh buddy?" As he rips off the other one.
Then he uses Orton's arms to grab the title. Cena walks out as champ, and the building is safe. He has just one last thign to do.
"Oh by the way Randy, ICE TO SEE YOU" then he bashes him with a steel chair until he's just a stain on the mat.
"Sorry, couldn't think of a good chair based pun."

I know someone who swears up and down that when his dad saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail in theaters, at the end of the Black Knight fight, the Knight says "How about 2 out of 3?" Wait, this ISN'T in the movie? I literally read it in his voice, like I'd seen it a million times before. Here's an odd one, I remember the quote "But that's the beauty of it... it doesn't DO anything!" And a lot of people I've talked to remember it, too. But nobody knows from what, and googling it just leads to more people wondering the same thing.

I'm really digging this idea. It might not be feasible due to Lesnar's contract, but the basic storyline is good.
Lesnar as a monster that only a few top guys can even hope to go toe-to-toe with. Add in the idea that the Authority is 100% behind him, and you have a super dominant monster heel.
The only thing is, he HAS to lose at Mania. So he'd get to be champ for... what, 4 months more or less? Is 4 months long enough to build him up as someone that people cannot wait to see him get beat? He could take on Orton at the Rumble, Cena at Elimination Chamber, I guess it could work.

A very weird one from elementary school. A kid claimed he saw "The Untouchables", and proceeds to recount the entire plot of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" instead. Not sure what in the world was going on there, but it's stuck with me for decades now.
In Terminator 2, there's a scene at the very end where Arnold drags himself out of the molten metal. Also recounted in elementary school, by someone who completely missed the point of the movie.
And one more, which as a kid I remember seeing, but apparently just imagined it. In Sesame Street, I seriously remember a bit where a little green monster that kind of looked like Grover with 2 pairs of eyes would look directly at the camera and say "Hey Kids, c'mon in! It's fun on Sesame Street!" and put his hand right up against the "screen". Then the TV would flicker and cut into another segment that had already started.

Ricky Steamboat confronts intercontinental champ Wade Barrett backstage. We all assumed it was leading to Richie Steamboat getting called up, I think we ended up with Santino losing a non-title match and Ricky looking disappointed in the ring.

I don't blame anyone for forgetting this, but they tried this with Miz and Ric Flair a few months ago.
Of course, Miz is so terrible that it almost instantly flopped. And it doesn't help that Flair is a pathetic shell of his former self.
It could work though, I could definitely get behind Jake the Snake helping out the Wyatts.

Maybe Del Rio should be the new Sin Cara "Look Cole look! Sin Cara's refusing to break the headlock! I've never seen this kind of aggressiveness before!!!!!!!!!!"

Just as Orton reaches for the belts, suddenly a time portal opens up over the ring. An older Randy Orton, with an eyepatch and a hook for a hand, steps out.
"Randy, trust me on this... you do NOT want to grab those belts."

I want to see some newz story being created because of this cartoon Backstage sources are saying that due to huge sales for the WWE/Scooby Doo crossover, Vince is working with top geneticists in order to create a true talking dog. The dog is expected to be loud, angry, and have access to a time machine.

Daniel Bryan must defeat 8 WWE masters (Hillbilly-Man, Lariat-Man, SheepFace-Man, SHIELD-Man 1 through 3, Demon-Man, and Viper-Man) before taking on the evil Dr. HHH in Titan Tower.
With Cena as Prototype-Man, who you're never sure is a hero or villain.

I think he fires the crowd up pretty well during the Real Americans' entrance.
Although I really wish they let him keep that bullwhip he busted out one week. That'd be something else.

WWE, just because I can manage to get into it more. If NJPW was on TV every week? Might be a closer fight. Although I'd love to replace Cole, JBL, and Lawler with Japanese announcers.
"OOOOOOHHH FIVE-U KNUCKLE SHUFFLE-U!!!!!"
"AHHHH IS MIGHTY STRONG RED MEAT RYBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"THE BIGGGU SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNOCKOUT PUNCHUUUUU!!!!"
