But here's the thing he wasn't being held down he was actually getting pushed. Bryan was the best thing WWE had going for themselves now in days they really lack good wrestlers ever since Angle left and Benoit and Eddie died they have lacked good wrestlers on their roster.
Bryan was their best wrestler and he was getting over and they fire him for the stupidest reason ever.
If Danielson goes to say TNA he'll be held back there as well with Hogan and Bischoff. Hell, if Desmond Wolfe is in the midcard right now imagine where Danielson will be.
