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.

A push for Bobby Lashley is needed now more than ever

By: Fabrizio Salerno Twitter @fabriziosa1erno  When Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE, it was a monumental moment for the whole WWE Universe.  Another Power house star has arrived and can potentially take our eyes away from Roman Reigns.  Though Roman is a great performer and superstar, the WWE creative is always forcing him to be in the biggest matches and that doesn't go well with the WWE Universe. Now that Bobby came back to dominate and set his eyes on the ultimate prize of becoming a Universal Champion, it wasn't going to be an easy climb up the mountain.  You have experienced superstars that are also worthy for a match like Seth Rollins, Elias, Finn Balor and you guessed it Roman Reigns.  All these superstars have the track record and the faith of the WWE Universe to become a worthy champion and dethrone the current champion Brock Lesnar. Now it has been a couple of months since Lashley made his return and though his matches were pretty much all...

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...

The American League MVP Race - Who is leading the pack?

By Scott Edwards Twitter: @scottedwards18 As we approach the half way point of the MLB season, the AL MVP race begins to heat up with most of the dominant hitters in the MLB coming from the American League this season. From the impressive, historic start to the season by Mookie Betts, to the continued greatness of Mike Trout, this AL MVP race is truly the award race to follow this season. And so, as we are at the half way point, I felt it would be a good time to give an overview of who is leading and who has a chance to take it home by season’s end. Simply put, when all is said and done, Mike Trout could go down as the best baseball player to ever step on a field. At the young age of 26 years old, Trout is already a two-time MVP and six time all-star. And if we are being truly honest, he easily could have had another three MVP’s if it wasn't for three second place finishes. Yet miraculously, this year may somehow be Trout’s best campaign to date. The Angels’ star ou...
