WWE NXT Results: Rising to the Challenge
Still tending to his bruised ribs after last Tuesday’s epic encounter with World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan was given a rude awakening by his WWE Pro, The Miz. While in the middle of a session with a WWE trainer, Bryan was interrupted by the United States Champion who informed him that WWE Superstars have to compete even when they’re hurt and then sent him out to face Jericho’s NXT Rookie, Wade Barrett.
Ever the warrior, the talented Rookie stepped up to the challenge and attacked his larger opponent with everything he had. But Bryan’s amazing tenacity wasn’t enough to overcome the severity of his injury or the 270-pound bare-knuckle fighter standing in front of him. The massive Barrett focused on the wounded midsection of The Miz’s Rookie, repeatedly drilling him into the mat before picking up the pin. To add to Bryan’s suffering, Chris Jericho entered the ring after the bout and put the agonized competitor in the Walls of Jericho. Full results.

Charlie Haas: "I Decided to Choose WWE. It Was Just a Big, Big Mistake"
Recently released WWE Superstar Charlie Haas has harsh words for his former employee last night in a radio interview with Right After Wrestling Show saying "I had the opportunity to go to TNA. I decided to choose WWE. It was just a big, big mistake."
Hass who returned to the WWE in 2006 after being released in 2005 commented on WWE's backstage politic nature, "I feel 100 percent just relaxed, less stress, and I am just so happy. It sounds crazy, but you have no idea how crazy it is up there. It really is. You're always walking on eggshells. You're always looking over your shoulder. It's very political and it's something I don't miss."
Hass went on to explain how he does not fit into WWE's sports-entertainment format "I'm not a Hollywood entertainer [which is] what they want. I can't fault them for that because Vince McMahon is making billions of dollars. The company is making billions of dollars following his formula. The formula's not wrong, it's correct, but I don't fit into that formula. I'm a wrestler." Click here for the full interview.
Another disgruntled mid-carder. At least he admitted he didn't fit the WWE.
