Bryan Danielson Blog

- Bryan Danielson has posted a new blog, here is an excerpt…

But this coming weekend is the show I've been looking forward to since the day the WWE let me go and it was the first show I agreed to do. EVOLVE (http://www.evolvewrestling.com) was initially conceptualized by myself and Gabe Sapolsky, the former booker for Ring of Honor. We felt that wrestling needed change, as most wrestling became stagnant and many fans were losing interest. Even though I signed with WWE, Gabe forged ahead with the new product, not quite what we envisioned at first but still a great alternative to what's happening in the mainstream. EVOLVE 1 had two excellent matches with TJP vs. Munenori Sawa and Davey Richards vs. Kota Ibushi and the EVOLVE 2 main event with Chris Hero vs. Ikuto Hidaka was awesome. The one guy I was especially impressed with, though, was Bobby Fish. I'd known Bobby for a couple years and we'd toured Japan together with Pro Wrestling NOAH. When I saw the first couple DVDs I was amazed by how much better he had gotten and his match with Claudio Castagnoli on EVOLVE 2 was fantastic. I wanted my first EVOLVE match to be against someone I'd never wrestled before, but also someone I knew would push me to the limit. Bobby is that guy. He hits hard and can take it to the mat, which is which is what I love to do. I'm amped and looking forward to creating something completely different from you can see in mainstream wrestling. If there's anyone who lives in the Union City, New Jersey area, I invite you to come to the show and check it out. It should be really fun.

Dragon has a new blog up, so I thought I'd just add it to this one:

On Last Weekend's EVOLVE And DGUSA Shows: First off, I'd like to thank everyone who came out to this weekend's EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA shows. I talked to lots of people who made the journey out to their very first independent wrestling shows and they all said they had a blast, even though both buildings were about ten zillion degrees Celsius. But it was a great weekend of wrestling, and it seemed like despite the heat everybody had a great time

On Missing Air Conditioning: If there is one thing I will miss most about WWE, it will be the air conditioned buildings... and showers. On Saturday night in Philly I wrestled for close to 30 minutes and I felt like I sweated out 15 pounds. If only I could look that lean all the time, then I could really be a part of TJP's Abs Crew. Alas, that day will probably never come.

On His Upcoming Bookings: This weekend I'll be in Reseda, CA on Friday for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and in Robins, GA on Saturday for Rampage Pro Wrestling (RPW). If you've never seen PWG before, I suggest you check it out as its some of the funnest wrestling I've ever been a part of. Its often wacky and irreverent, but its carved itself a great niche in the pro wrestling world. People come up to me all the time and talk to me about an interview I did there (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSh2s_lmthI), and I even heard people "buzzing" for me at WWE shows. It always makes me smile, no matter how mean I'm trying to be. I'll be wrestling my old pal Roderick Strong, who may actually cave my chest in with his chops. Roddy is one of the main contributors to the many scars I have on my chest, and I will be bringing LOTS of Neosporin.
