Danielson Finally Speaks... Err, I Mean Blogs

The entry in question

Bryan Danielson has finally spoken about his release from the WWE, and as expected, he's gracious and professional while still emoting his displeasure with the proceedings. Say what you will about AmDrag, but whatever you've heard about him backstage is probably right if those things were positives. Anyway, here are some snippets and analysis:

Perhaps the choking was too violent or perhaps the spit was too demeaning. I apologized for both immediately following the incident; but I would be a hypocrite if I apologized for putting everything I have into the attack. I would much rather have gone too far than to come up too short.

This right here says it all. Here you have a guy that went full tilt to get an angle over. He went too far by PG standards, but if you're Vince McMahon, how can you not be impressed with that kind of work ethic, especially if this happened 5 years ago, Danielson would have been rewarded instead of future endeavored.

As far as what happens after 90 days, nobody knows. I’ve “heard” that TNA is interested.

I hope that he spurns them no matter what. I'd rather see him in ROH full-time again, retreading every path he tread before than go to TNA, get the taint of Hogan/Russo/Dixie on him for what would probably be pennies on the dollar what he was getting from WWE and something comparable to what he could get working a schedule of ROH/Chikara/Sapolsky/PWG dates (the latter being far more satisfying to fans than a TNA slate would be).

But regardless of what offers come in, I am in no rush to make any rash decisions. I enjoy my freedom as much as I enjoyed the benefits offered by being in WWE. My future, as usual, is uncertain. But I am enjoying my return to the independents. I’m hoping to see some of you there.

I think that's telling. Personally, I'm hoping that he shows up on RAW this coming week as Wade Barrett's fill-in, but hey, I've resigned myself to playing wait and see with this whole situation anymore. Sure, I want him to go back to the WWE because he'll be on my TV every week, but I think speculating on it will be pointless. He's waited this long to speak about the subject, so I don't think he'll be leaking anything publically, and I'd rather not have my source risk his/her connection to AmDrag by pestering that person to pester Danielson.

Still, it's good to hear from Danielson about the whole thing, and hopefully, he'll make one more appearance for Chikara on July 25th so I can see him before he moves on to something else after 90 days.
