How much of Bray not being a straightforward heel is his fault, exactly? Unless he's writing his own promos or given an unusual amount of creative freedom, it's more creative's problem than his.

That's actually been discussed a few times before. Bray doesn't write his own promos, but he does get to have some input with the people who do.

Can someone do a podcast on whether or not Bray Wyatt is a good heel?

Would you be my new best friends?

It was talked about a little already but I can't recommend enough the latest episode of the Austin podcast. He interviews Vader and it's really good, they cover everything from his childhood up to just as he's about to go to New Japan and he'll be back next week for everything from New Japan up. He details his childhood, his football career, how he got into wrestling (which is an amazing story) and his first day of training (which is hilarious), as well as paying his dues getting his rear end kicked by Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen. He sounds great and I was surprised at how intelligent he seems, I guess I just bought in too heavily to his gimmick as a big dumb monster who stood next to a cackling Harley Race.

Several. Transcript:

quote:

Dave Meltzer asked for a medical update on Christian or Rey Mysterio. He said he can't talk about either due to HIPPA laws but they are recovering and trying to get them under control.

H was asked about forms of training that they use. H said he had never been exposed to different kinds of training methods. He didn't play football so he did bodybuilding types of workouts. He said that he never used to warm up, etc. Then things changed in training methods and athletes noticed the changes, such as creating functional strength. He said that different training methods are a big part of the Center. He said that being functionally strong is the point. Dave asked about what kind of training methods they were doing. H said it was a combo of everything and reiterated functional movement strength is what is important. H talked a lot about training methods, which was interesting to me but if you don't work out probably wouldn't be. He talked about, in essence, working all muscles to creative a stronger overall body. He said that is why we are seeing more agile and durable guys in the ring because of it. He said that guys take care of themselves a lot better than they used to.

Meltzer mentioned that Daniel Bryan said he thinks it would be good for young talent to go to other places, like Japan, to learn other styles. He mentioned WWE having trainers with differing backgrounds working with the talents. H said that working in other places is a great learning opportunity. H talked about a guy they just let go where he told him that working somewhere else and learn some things, he could come back and employ what he learns elsewhere. H said that he learns a lot about the business every single day. The more well rounded you are the better. With that said, you can't get so ingrained in a style where you can't adapt to something else. H said that if you play for one pro team with one style of offense, if you go to another with a different style, you have to adapt. You can bring what you know and talk about it, but you have to adapt to the WWE way.

Meltzer asked about KENTA and Prince Devitt and H went WHO? Meltzer tried to explain who they were and H said he was kidding, he knows who they are. And H said no comment.

Mason Ryan? Apparently he always had a humble attitude in developmental, so it wouldn't surprise me that he'd want to go elsewhere to learn more if he's interested in coming back to WWE someday.

Don't guys they release also say they learned a lot even if they didn't make the main roster and that it definitely makes them worth more on the indy circuit?

I'm sure it does, when a local promoter can slap a WWE logo he downloaded off Google on a poster and say "Former WWE Star Mason Ryan"!

Of all guys WWE released in recent times Hero is probably the last guy that needs to learn new stuff. Someone like Ryan who spent 2 years wrestling before he signed a developmental contract is way more likely.

I can't see it being Hero since he was already experienced in both US indies and puro. Maybe one of those young British guys they released?

No one from the main roster, but a few people got cut from NXT last month. According to a google search it was Mason Ryan, Raquel Diaz, Danny Burch and Oliver Grey.
