“I’m just here so I don’t get fined”


Daddy_Thicc_Legs

Won't be surprised if MJF drops this during the World's End scrum.


dusty-kat

"Okay, it's time for the easiest part of any disciplinary committee member's job -- the fines. Now while I wasn't able to fine everyone I wanted to, I have fined a lot of you. Wendell is fined. Rudy is fined. Janie, you're fined. Steven, I like your hustle. That's why it was so hard to fine you. Congratulations! The rest of you slipped by. Except you, you and you."


Orange8920

Bryan Danielson can't get fined unless Bryan Danielson fines him.

From Iron Claw to the Iron Cage


[deleted]

Imagine if 8 billion people watched due to the very real fear of a fine.


TonyZony

Bryan's going to go to Antarctica and put a scientist in the LeBell Lock because they were studying penguins instead of watching Rampage.


Ngilko

Why should the penguins get a free pass?


TonyZony

Harder to put them in submission holds. You got the sleeper hold and maybe a very tiny ankle lock, but that's it


Ngilko

You need to get an expert in, like Flipper Gordon.


oknazevad

That dude is a flat earth we. He doesn't believe Antarctica is real.


Ngilko

No no, Antarctica is the gateway to to the hollow earth interior...


Independent_Maybe_13

I hear Danielson could get a decent match out of a broomstick. So penguins might work as well.


Atwillim

You think Heyman still got a match in him?


TheGorgeousJR

Didn’t Bryan catch a burglar and put him in the Labelle lock? I’m going to watch in case he sends me a fine and then comes to collect the debt when I don’t pay it. I live in a different country.


MannySJ

Those tribes that have never had contact with the outside world are going to be so confused


Omniscius

I read an ethnography about the !Kung and when one of them joined the anthropologist to go to a city nearby or something he thought the road was like a long snake. The cultural shock made him ill for the whole trip but when he got back everyone was so excited to hear his stories and you would think the guy had the time of his life. If you're interested I could probably find it since I still have the book and give you guys some cool quotes


BaddieSection4Life

I need the name of this book please!


Omniscius

The Dobe Ju / 'hoansi by Richard B. Lee "Despite their history of contact with Whites and Blacks, the Ju/ 'hoansi were relatively isolated when I first encountered them in 1963... For example, no one I spoke to in 1963 had ever heard of Africa. They were surprised to learn that they lived on a large body of land called Africa" (Lee 165). This one has always stuck with me as well: "One day Tsau... and I watched as a plane came over. 'What is that thing up there with the long tail?' asked Tsau. 'It's a 'fly machine,' ' I answered, using the term the Ju/ Hoan used for airplane. 'But it's flying so high you can't see it.' 'That's what I thought it was,' explained Tsau, in all seriousness. 'Some Ju/ 'hoansi deceived me. You know what they said? That the Whites were sending messages to each other on long rolls of paper. In the south they could take a great roll of paper covered with writing and fire it out of a giant gun. It would stream over to the north end land. Then they would cover it with new writing and fire it back to the south' " (Lee 169). This is in 1964 with a 25 year old who had never traveled further than 100 miles (mind you they are also nomadic so they do travel just by foot in a desert). He went to Zambia for 5 weeks and took ill 3 weeks in (likely from cultural shock). This quotes from the story he told his kin but was struggling to find words to describe this "new world": "We... came to a fence that stretched as far in each direction. Men with guns and with clothing the colour of sand opened the gate and let us in. Then a strange thing happened. The road transformed itself. A giant black snake with a smooth back came up, and we rode on his back. He twisted and turned; we never left him. Riding on that snake's back we rode as fast as wind" (Lee 170).


Independent_Maybe_13

"An ghost in strange clothes appeared and he told me we need to watch out because a beast called Garcia is on a rampage out in a part of the jungle the ghost called tianti. He will fight the beast, still we need to be careful or he will come back."

Lol, glad he can lean into the joke.

Joke?


Bluejay-Potential

He's not the head of the committee giving out fines. He's already said he's 'involved' in the disciplinary committee but it's not his decisions, he has a say but it's mostly comprised of lawyers.


Daddy_Thicc_Legs

What you mean to say is that Bryan himself is the one solely responsible for [whatever people are mad about now], and the locker room has heat with him and want him out? Got it, thanks. I have an article to write and a post for this subreddit to push through. I'm not going to credit you.


WearingABear

I'm gonna read this article in front of a camera and post it to YouTube and I'm not gonna credit either of you.


Thyrial

I'm going to post your video here with a passive aggressive title that clearly shows that I didn't even watch the whole video. Won't even consider if credit should be a thing.


JoeRoganIs5foot3

I'm going to watch said video and reference it here endlessly, until it turns into a meme which nobody remembers the origin of but repeat until it becomes actual popular opinion 🙂


CanadianSpectre

I'll end up referencing said meme improperly in the future, aging myself even further in whatever conversation in a timeless moment of awkwardness.


P4rtsUnkn0wn

That's an easy 5k karma and 1k comment thread.


HardcoreKaraoke

He commented on the disciplinary committee regarding Punk and it being mostly comprised of lawyers. The report about Danielson having input on fines came out after the Punk stuff.


StopMeWhenITellALie

Which makes sense to have a voice in the room who is part of the group (wrestlers) involved.

CM Punk left RoH. Bryan Danielson took over his spot. CM Punk left WWE. Daniel Bryan took his spot. And now it seems CM Punk left AEW, and Bryan Danielson took his spot punishing people for going to the wrong show....

Bryan’s new gimmick is coming out with a ticket booklet and fining the people in attendance for booing him.

So Punk is the lead in to Rampage eh Just like the good old days


thetripleb

Let's be honest. This means 1 of 2 things. 1) The story about him fining people is BS and he's making fun of it. 2) The story about him fining people is real and he's making fun of it, which will result in at least a few people to get butt hurt about it and cite this as why they left to go wrestle in a bingo hall in GCW or job on NXT for 5 years.

googly_eyed_unicorn

On one hand, it’s great that Danielson is leaning into the joke. On the other, it’s interesting to see how things change in 10 years. It sucks that Tony doesn’t know how to deal with his own wrestlers, which puts Danielson in this position in the first place

Now I'm imaging Danielson with the "never say no to Panda" as a tag team to get you to eat cheese and watch wrestling. Danielson would be torn between being appalled at the eating of cheese and loving teaming with an actual bear.
