MacGruber Tanks, Daniel Bryan-Michael Cole Storyline, ROH, More

— WWE.com features a storyline article with comments from Daniel Bryan about the incident with Michael Cole on this week’s NXT. Bryan called his actions unprofessional, but said he would do it all over again. He adds that John Cena, Batista and Randy Orton never spent a minute on the independent scene (which is not strictly true) but were made top names by WWE, but people like William Regal and Chris Jericho built themselves up outside the company and were ready to be stars when they came in. He also says of WWE management that “they can try and hold me down as much as they want. If they give me one segment, if they give me one segment like they did tonight, I will be the star of the show.” When WWE.com’s Joey Styles tried to get a comment from Michael Cole, he said simply “Get that damn recorder out of my face, Joey!”

— MacGruber, which features Chris Jericho and several other WWE superstars, did not do so well in its first night in theatres. Deadline is calling the film a bomb and estimates it will make about $4.5 million this weekend. The $1.6 million it made was good for fifth in overnight earnings, behind Shrek Forever After, Iron Man 2, Robin Hood and Letters to Juliet.
