" I feel like I missed a week here – what exactly did Bryan do to AJ that was so horrible? Try to have her committed for being crazy? She IS crazy! CM Punk said so!"
What you're are forgetting is that Bryan is the one who drove her crazy. She was perfectly normal when they started dating, but Bryan treated her like crap, dumped her in a public and humilating fashion, and then kept verbally berating her for weeks after until she snapped. Basically Bryan is Dr. Frankenstein and now he is feeling the wraith of the monster he created.

Say what? DB was nothing but a perfect gentleman who repeatedly stressed how much he cared for AJ. It's hardly his fault that she continually dragged him down and cost him the World title.
And the ring was in the back!
Blame AJ, not DBry.
I did miss a week, reading the recap this whole "D-Bry is getting tested for insanity" thing still baffles me. Not in the "what are they doing, this sucks" way but more like a "I sincerely don't even understand what the fuck is even happening or what this is supposed to be and in fact am so completely confused that I can't even form an opinion on it because I have nothing equally nonsensical to compare it to" way.
ReplyDeleteI liked it better than AJ and DB were together. 8 (

ReplyDeleteI highly recommend checking out the SNL skit "What's wrong with Tanya" as a parallel to the AJ/DBry storyline
ReplyDeleteA lot of people who hate the AJ/D-Bry storyline have this weird desire to have the storyline not make sense to justify their hatred. I'm sorry, but in the context of wrestling storylines this thing has made sense if you've been following it since November and watched both Raw and Smackdown during that time. And if you haven't, then STFU. Don't be *that* guy who comes across a movie on tv that's half over and starts complaining that it "doesn't make sense" and he "doesn't get it".
ReplyDeleteAnd the motherfucking ring WAS in the back! D-Bry is NOT a teller of tall-tales.
The real problem is that the everything from the engagement on was told way too fast. One week Daniel Bryan is trying to manipulate AJ into making him champion, the next week they were engaged, the following week the wedding, and then the jilted bride's revenge. That's at least 2-4 months of story compressed into 4 weeks. The stage of the story we should be at right now is Bryan trying to gain back AJ's affections in preparation of the engagement. He should be convincing everybody that he "loves" AJ but we all should know he's up to something. Up until the engagement the story was moving at a nice pace but everything since then is going faster than it should. The WWE should slow things down a bit.
ReplyDeleteAlso Bryan didn't hit AJ and simply dumped her rather than keeping her around and continuing to abuse her emotionally and inevitably physically. In that regard, AJ should have counted her blessings and moved on with her life rather than going crazy and plotting revenge against Bryan.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we need to know how the hell AJ got to be general manager; did she fuck Vince for the job? Or was that the real endgame for her throwing herself at CM Punk, raise her profile and make Punk keep rejecting her, so that Vince would make her general manager to further torment Punk?
AJ may have lost her craziness (noooo!), but at least she still has a nice tnetennba.
ReplyDeleteGive it a few months. They'll be back together again eventually.
ReplyDeleteBlame Canada.
ReplyDeleteAt least give them a little credit for finally doing something with a bit of subtlety. The guys with the white coats got briefly introduced last week without banging us over the head with their purpose, and they let it play out for a week, giving Bryan vague bit of plausible deniability about it all, before finally showing him as the lying scumbag all along.
ReplyDeleteNot even in the context of Disney storylines does it make sense.
ReplyDeleteAnd the four guys in white WERE his groomsmen, who just happened to also be mental institution workers as well!
ReplyDeleteIt's because of the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteI think the whole thing would've come off better if she had said something like "remember when you dumped me on national tv in front of everybody...remember.......". I'm not generally a fan of the SLEDGEHAMMER OF PLOT, but I think in this instance, it would've been a nice summary of why she's doing what she's doing instead of it coming seemingly out of left field.
ReplyDeleteTHE BRYAN-LEE REGIME!!!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that's happening is a very silly twist on the GM vs. Wrestler...err, Sports Entertainer feud.
ReplyDeleteSince intentionally man-on-woman violence in WWE is now as forbidden as piledrivers and chair shots to the head, Bryan treated AJ about as badly as he possibly could have.
ReplyDeletesee thats comedy.
ReplyDeleteSince WWE has already spoiled this on their website, I'd just like to point out how much I love the idea of a guy named Booker being the Smackdown General Manager.
ReplyDeleteLet's see what happens in the next few weeks before we say for certain whether or not she's not crazy - they could always book her to change her favoritism from face to heel week by week so that nobody knows what she will do next.
ReplyDeleteIs that the one where Lifetime moms have to guess if their teen daughter is pregnant or gay or homicidal, etc.?
ReplyDeleteUh...no, Brandon is right on the money, Scott.
