Daniel Bryan - New Age Wrestling Superstar

If I say that Daniel Bryan was one of the most accomplished and popular wrestling superstar of modern times, that wouldn't be saying too much. Daniel Bryan today announced his retirement from active wresting on Monday Night Raw after giving his absolute all on various wrestling circuits for last 16 years. He was an absolute mat wrestler who would give five star matches day in and day out and that was the reason why he was so over with crowd. A seasoned wrestling fan likes cavalry as much as gimmick and that's why he loves both 'The Rock' and 'Kurt Angle'. Daniel Bryan was a fighter, wrestling not only his style but personal demons too and it was all too fitting that he ended his career with WWE, the very best in professional wrestling industry. He worked his body off, using it like machine, in various wrestling circuits all over the world like Japan, Europe, Canada shedding both tears and bloods and put up spectacular matches worthy of inducing awe. All of this quite obviously took toll on his body and he suffered uncountable fractures and concussions. I know for a fact that he was very eager to get back in WWE ring after he suffered from his last concussion some 8 months ago but WWE's doctors, good for him, never cleared him. But he must be happy. He is finally financially secure after 16 years of hardships and WWE has already employed him as a coach for its indy-ish promotion, NXT that's becoming more and more popular with true-wrestling fans with each passing day. Daniel himself was an NXT alumni and I am sure he would love to coach the young wrestlers and transform them into WWE superstars.

There are very few good mat wrestlers out there and there is a huge demand for them and most certainly in WWE and if WWE todat thinks like that, its all because Daniel Bryan's influence. Today WWE boasts off a talent pool that's made of Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe (long-time grappling partner of Daniel), AJ Styles and Kevin Owens and many more. They all are potential future wrestling superstars of the world, some of them are already enjoying that status and they all owe something of that to wrestlers like Bryan. Professional wresting is always considered a sport of big guys like 300-400 pounds and 6-7 feet and thus it's unbelievable to imagine the heights Daniel achieved being a 5"8' and 170 pounds guy. He was the architect of one of the most fierce movements in recent WWE history, the YES Moment and WWE realized at that moment of his career that they couldn't ignore him anymore. They cashed onto his popularity big time in Wrestlemania 30, ornamenting him with both WWE and World Heavyweight Championships in the same night thus celebrating a signature 'underdog' moment just like Chris Benoit's 10 years ago in Wrestlemania 20. Today both WWE and Daniel deserve a round of applause for their effort and I shall thus offer them both a three-fingers royal-salute.......#ThankYouDanielBryan......#ThankYouWWE

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

P.S. Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix: The Master

My infatuation with the movies is well known but my involvement with the actors and their characters is even more heartwarming. There are innumerable movies that I saw simply because they featured my favorite actors, however they themselves were not great. Examples could be infinite, however for the sake of this article I'll have to produce something here. Anger Management for Jack Nicholson (boy, isn't he a legend?), Swing Vote for Kevin Costner, Snatch for Brad Pitt, Legends of the Fall (Brad Pitt), Leon: The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Bram Stroker's Dracula, State of Grace & Prick up your ears; all for Gary Oldman (mind you, he is a chameleon). Meanwhile, I started accumulating some of the finest performances by some of the legendary actors of all time. Very recently, as anyone who follows me regularly knows, I grew very much fond of the craft and artistry of Daniel Day-Lewis. He is a fine, fine actor whose study and impersonation of a character is often pictur...

Book Review - Colourful Notions:The Roadtrippers 1.0

Soul-searching (or at least an effort to do that) has become the new go-to objective of our millennial directors and writers who try to weave a narrative involving some characters that are confused at most of the things that do and thus are 'ordinary' by greats' standards. They look out for an answer, of all the troubles they are having in their lives and thus look out for an endeavor which if not provides a satisfactory solution to their troubles, at least give them a respite for a short while from their unremarkable lives. Hollywood and Europeans are working on this issue from 90s and they visited the orientals as well in search of their lost inner-selves. They might think that they are closing in on a solution but what about the developing Asians? They are catching up fast with 'well-developed' (but ever-so-confusing) Americans and Europeans and thus are getting the headaches and 'made-up' problem of their owns. Well, the author of this book, Mr. Mohit G...
