Profiles in Wrestling Match - John Cena

Profiles in Wrestling is a week long column with the goal of introducing you to both well-known and emerging talent, delivering quality coverage and notable matches. So sit back, relax, and smark out.

Today's PiW match is from an old episode of Velocity. It's not a match John Cena is famous for, but one that I think we'd all like to see again. On this episode of Velocity he worked with Bryan Danielson, AKA Daniel Bryan of NXT. This match was short, but fun, and utilized John Cena's old finisher, the Proto-bomb. He still uses this finisher, but only as one of his signature moves of doom.

Brawl O' the Day - Danielson & Aoki vs Ishimori & Kanemaru

Bryan Danielson AKA NXT's Daniel Bryan and Atsushi Aoki take on Taiji Ishimori and Kanemaru in today's Brawl. It's an exciting match from Pro-Wrestling NOAH in Japan. A great example of puro tag matches. That finisher at the end is wicked too.

WWE NXT's "Daniel Bryan" aka Bryan Danielson Released

This just in from WWE.com:

"WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors."

A bit surprising considering the massive pop the NXT Invasion got, especially with management. I'm kind of glad he can go back to the indie leagues and have real matches though. Be expecting more NXT releases, they'll probably start stacking up.
