SummerSlam review forthcoming, but holy crap, this is huge news, straight from the horse's mouth. Bryan Danielson is on his way to the WWE. Wow, big move, although there are several caveats. If Danielson is allowed to keep his name, his persona and mannerisms and is allowed to work in a style comparable to his indie style, albeit toned down, it might work. Danielson might be a little white-bread for the WWE audience, but he does have a sense of charisma where he can get over in such a way like Bret Hart did at first.
IF they give him a stupid name and generic him up, then it might not have a chance. If they change him up and give him a good name and persona like they did for Matt "Evan Bourne" Sydal, it could be good. I could see him coming in masked and working under the name "American Dragon". Either way, it's a coup for the WWE and a huge, huge loss for indie wrestling. Hopefully, he makes good like his brethern Sydal and CM Punk have been for the last couple of years.
