Is This The End For Daniel Bryan?

 It seems like yesterday when the WWE universe was caught by the storm of the “Yes” movement and Daniel Bryan was all anyone wanted to see perform inside a WWE ring. His movement was so powerful that it bled into other outlets like the MLB and NHL and was chanted to get crowds of fans amped for the games. 
    
With the highs came the lows as Bryan suffered a series of concussions and neck injuries due to his high-octane offense. Eventually, he was forced to retire at the hands of the WWE and his loved ones. His efforts to comeback as a superstar to the WWE, as opposed to being the general manager of “Smack Down Live,” have been well documented, as the WWE has held him back because of his concussion history.
         
Bryan, being the fighter that he is, made the case that he was healthy to compete. His call was answered and he made his return to the ring. The question is, was it too little too late? He was cleared to fight, but the respect factor wasn't there. 
          
The WWE isn’t booking Bryan in matches and storylines that have the same edge they used to. He went from being the guy to go against The Authority to being booked as a middle-to-low card competitor. It looks as if WWE has no place for Bryan and have turned to bigger and better stars as the face of the brand. With A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe, The Miz, Randy Orton, and Rusev receiving all the fanfare from the WWE universe, Bryan should be up there on the list with the rest of them.
           
The poor booking and lack of excitement in his matches indicates that Bryan's end is coming soon. Seeing him fall from the top of the mountain and get back up is truly inspiring and motivational. He proved to all the doubters that he would come back, but it seems his comeback is short lived. There is no room on the Smack Down roster for him to be embraced, and it is a shame to see his talent get wasted.
           
 It seems like the WWE is reuniting him with Kane to form the team “Hell No” and compete in the Tag Team Championships, which might be a chance for fans to relive the moments that defined Bryan’s career. Although it seems this team could contend for titles, it might just be a gimmick for the WWE universe.
            
 Bryan's sour ending with the WWE doesn’t take away from what he contributed throughout his career. Fans should embrace his presence now more than ever because it seems like Bryan wrestling in a WWE ring won't go on for much longer.

Top 10 Best Overall Sport Cities

(10) Miami The Dolphins surprisingly have a winning record, but you would’ve never guessed that after watching they were blown out by the Ravens. And to make matters worse, Jay Ajayi is out and on his way to Philadelphia. The Heat are still trying to regain their success of the Lebron-era by building around star center Hassan Whiteside but the Heat seem set for mediocrity yet again this season. Giancarlo Stanton is another promising player for the Marlins. (9) Denver The Broncos are riding a three-game losing streak and are playing the best team in football this upcoming week. The Nuggets are looking mediocre at the moment but it is too early to tell how they will turn out come February. (8) Chicago Mitch Trubisky has entered the building! The young quarterback has a way to go before teams will start to fear him, but his first few games have not been as bad as some expected. The Bears continue to rely on their underrated defense and strong run game. The Bulls ha...

Could Conor McGregor Ever Make A Comeback?

(via mmafighting.com) By Fabrizio Salerno Twitter:  @fabriziosa1erno The UFC, being the multi-billion-dollar company that it is, needs no lesson on driving-in sales. With almost every pay-per-view promotion that UFC President Dana White conjures up, the public is intrigued to watch the end result. By elevating well-known athletes like Ronda Rousey, Nate Diaz, Chris Weidman, and, of course, Conor McGregor, the UFC has been a force to be reckoned with in the fighting world. While the success of the brand cannot be pinpointed to one individual, UFC certainly carried the wave of energy McGregor brought with him when was booked to fight. But by being out of fighting for a little over a year, does McGregor still have the spirit to get back and compete in the octagon. Conor is the main guy for UFC and any belt he wants he would go for. Whether he has to gain or lose weight, he takes on the challenge and gives the paying customers what they want. Take the "mega-...

One Deadline Move Each AL Powerhouse Needs to Make

By Zane Robidoux Twitter: @zrobidoeee Between the Red Sox, Astros, Yankees and recently the Mariners, there has been no shortage of excitement atop the American League this year. All four teams are poised to make deep October runs, but in order to do so may need to do a bit of tweaking to their rosters. Not a lot needs to be done, but one acquisition could change a team completely. In order to make that leap from one of the best, to THE best, here’s one trade that each team should make by the deadline. Red Sox:  Second Base Even though they have the best offense in baseball, the Red Sox have had absolutely no productivity out of the second base position all year. Eduardo Nunez has been filling in at second base this year in the absence of Dustin Pedroia, who was supposed to make a return at the end of May but played only 3 games before heading back to the disabled list. Nunez had been used in more of a utility man role in the past, so maybe part of the re...
