Summary of all title defenses necessary?

I understand that it's become sort of the meat of the article, but since the guidelines of the Pro Wrestling Wiki Project suggest articles shouldn't include week by week events, should we consider cutting down on the inclusion of each title defense (past and future)?

WWE World Wrestling Entertainment

Danielson has wrestled in a few matches on Sunday Night Heat and on Velocity.

                * Heat
 	+ 	* vs Rico, February 9, 2003.
 	+ 	
 	+ 	* Velocity
 	+ 	* vs Jamie Noble, January 18, 2003.
 	+ 	* vs John Cena, February 8, 2003.
 	+ 	* Tag Match with John Walters vs Paul London & Brian Kendrick, November 15, 2003.

So what is wrong with this, why do you ppl keep deleting it? Govvy 08:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not particularly important, doesn't fit anywhere else in the article, doesn't follow the guidelines of any other wrestling pages, and we don't list a wrestlers appearance in every federation like that. --- Lid 08:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about a little paragraph under where there was WWE vs TNA bit is, I feel it be good to state that he also wrestled Cena, what do you think of that idea? Govvy 09:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about we at least make mention that he was used as a jobber by WWE in early and late 2003. This way we avoid week-by-week summary while acknowledging his past appearances. And, in answer to the question of mentioning his match against Cena, no. It has no importance at the moment to Danielson's future. Unless he suffered an injury that cost him to miss time after participating in the match, it doesn't impact his career, as he probably put over Cena, anyway. 70.21.216.202 13:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bio

While it may not have sources, this rule strongly applies here, I believe. Kris Classic 02:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. WP:BLP and WP:ATT apply. If you carry on edit warring you will be blocked. Tyrenius 02:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK! Tyrenius 03:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ECW Tag Team Champion

Bryan Danielson was not an ECW Tag Team Champion. I found now source stating otherwise. Mr. C.C. (talk) 16:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WWE Development Talent

Shouldn't it be mentioned that he was under a development deal with WWE? I'm not sure of the exact year, but I do know that it was in their Memphis territory and he was released when that was shut down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.13.220.22 (talk) 14:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was a WWE developmental talent two years into his career, that was the earliest someone was a developmental talent at that time. Mr. C.C. (talk) 18:40, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TNA

Wasn't he in TNA in like mid-2003 or something? I recall seeing him one day as American Dragon. ${\mathfrak {s}}{\mathfrak {a}}{\mathfrak {v}}{\mathfrak {i}}{\mathfrak {o}}{\mathfrak {r}}$ ${\mathfrak {s}}{\mathfrak {e}}{\mathfrak {l}}{\mathfrak {f}}$ ${\mathfrak {.}}$ ${\mathfrak {7}}{\mathfrak {7}}{\mathfrak {7}}$ 05:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

considered by many to be one of the best, if not the best wrestler in the world

Orphaned references in Bryan Danielson

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bryan Danielson's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:20, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done - problem fixed. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2007-2008, 2009

What would be good titles for these sections. They don't have to be big. I just think a summary of those years would be nice.

He signed on to wwe

check wrestling observer their pretty legit about it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.55.234 (talk) 12:23, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, according to ROH, he agreed to a contract with WWE "in principle", and in any case, it's already mentioned in the article, and has been since shortly after it was announced on ROH's website. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 14:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cattle Mutilation?

Shouldn't it still be a finishing or signature move? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.59.230 (talk) 01:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Duffs101 (talk) 15:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Bryan

This "new" name is not totally confirmed. According to some sources it's Daniel Bryanson such as on "Trent Barrett's Twitter". (current FCW wrestler) so nobodys really sure.

My guess is that it's another botch from Savannah —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.124.78 (talk) 21:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I Came to Play

He DOES use "I Came to Play" as his theme song right now, so I'll put it in the article again. --79.204.109.177 (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miz as Trainer

Hey I noticed that Mike Mizanin, aka the Miz, is not included as one of Danielson's mentors and trainers under his pic.

I've updated it to reflect his current status as a student of the Miz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.114.242 (talk) 20:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miz is not his trainer, he is just a storyline mentor. TJ Spyke 20:30, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't it still be included? I mean he's obviously taught him a lot of stuff so far in terms of personality, charisma, confidence, etc. Couldn't he also have taught him some of those moves he used on NXT? I'm not real familiar with Daniel Bryan outside of WWE, but maybe Miz taught him some of those flashier moves? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.114.242 (talk) 22:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Miz didn't teach him ANY of the moves he has used in WWE. The stuff that are saying in the storyline is true, Danielson knows more about wrestling than Miz probably ever will (in terms of wrestling skills, Danielson would be Miz's trainer). Anyways, see the section about NXT, where it mentions this already. TJ Spyke 01:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any proof he didn't teach Danielson any moves or are you just dismissing facts in favor of conjecture, lest your smark darling be tarnished? 66.63.222.198 (talk) 06:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any proof he taught Danielson any moves or are you believing that a storyline mentorship (which specifically mentions that wrestling skills is not what they are teaching) is real? TJ Spyke 21:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's rude to answer a question with a question. Being a pro-wrestler is about more than just wrestling moves. At this point, Bryan Danielson is being trained by Mike Mizanin. You can keep crying like all the other ROHbots, or you can accept reality.66.63.216.236 (talk) 23:19, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't get mad because you have no proof. It's your job to prove it's true, not mine to probe it's false. As for calling me a ROHBot, I have only seen 1 ROH match before. TJ Spyke 23:21, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The onus is on the person inserting information to source it with a reliable source. In this case, a source is required to state that The Miz is legitimately training Danielson. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 21:29, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the Miz could be listed as a manager--tired time (talk) 10:36, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Bryan a heel?

What did Daniel Bryan do to become a heel? He simply attacked an announcer who is pretty much a heel now. I'm thinking that whoever put the fact that Daniel Bryan turned heel in the process was probably putting their opinion. But that's just my suspicion. Chrismaster1 (talk) 22:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Probably Michael Cole putting it in there. Was there any mention of "Vintage" or "A kick to the skull?" 198.135.242.14 (talk) 14:52, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
