Guest Username Report post Posted November 20, 2003 anyone here know what the deal is with American Dragon? i just thought it was weird that he was on Velocity...do you guys know if he has any plans to sign with the WWE? that would be awesome... i was dissapointed with that velocity match though, it lasted like 2 seconds. Dragon looked good in the ring for the .5 seconds he was in there. john walters didn't do a thing either...he looks iffy...speaking of which, did anyone post that john walters match up yet?

PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Keep in mind that match was said to be cut from 6 mins down to 3 mins. But yeah American Dragon has looked very good in all of this WWE TV appearances. I hope they don't sign him though, I enjoy his Indy work too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brocklock 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Here is some news that'll probably piss everyone off. Bryan Danielson, better known as independent wrestler American Dragon, had a dark match try out at RAW in Boston. They announced him as being from Boston to get a babyface reaction for him as he faced Arch Kincaid. The crowd turned on him after he started to use too many technical holds, and didn’t really do anything big. Stupid ass WWE fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Username, could you explain to me how American Dragon in WWE would "be awesome?" Would it be awesome like Ultimo Dragon, Paul London & Spanky? Awesome like the Invasion angle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Indy guys work Velocity and Heat all the time; Dragon has been on multiple times before. There's nothing weird about it. WWE apparently did show some interest during his last round of appearances previous to the Dragon/Walters v. Spanky/London match. The story came out that the WWE encouraged him to get a tan and haircut -- "Shave those sideburns, Mattingly!" -- and then there may be a spot. But who knows how much truth there was to that.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted November 20, 2003 I would doubt the WWF would want him. His offense isn't flashy enough for a WWF crowd and he's a lot stiffer than the WWF wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ToddRoyal Report post Posted November 20, 2003 WWE had him, and Spanky a long time ago when they signed a group of kids from HBK's school. All of them were cut from the development program except one... Lance "Garrison" Cade. Which should show you what the WWE is looking for. It doesn't matter if you're pasty and have a horrible haircut, as long as you're TALL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PsychoDriver 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 In a perfect world, The WWE could book him against guys like Benoit, London, Ultimo, Spanky, Rey, Eddy, Tajiri ETC. in solid 15-20 minute matches every week.. He'd get over and have a solid uppercard slot in no time. But in reality, Brock would squash him in his debut match and he'd be sent to B-Show hell where he would job to Bombastic Bob Holly, Zach Gowen, Orlando Jordan, Palumbo and others in 3 minutes matches week after week (and if he had a good match they'd edit it down because he was making HHH look bad or they needed more time to promote McMahon Vs. McMahon Phase 429) So I think he's better off where he is now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I think he lives in Arlington) ... it's weird that they'd announce a guy as being from Boston to get him a face reaction, when they just as easily could have announced the guy from Boston as being from here. (and yes, I understand that BD was supposed to be the face in the match, so needed to make him more "likable" ... it just seems odd to announce a guy as being local when his opponent actually IS local) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
