Bryan Danielson has agreed in principle to a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.

Bryan has been an exemplary talent and a wonderful member of the Ring of Honor locker room and family since the inception of the company. We couldn’t be happier for Bryan and all of his successes, many of which Ring of Honor has been proud to witness first hand.

We congratulate Bryan on the beginning of this next journey in his brilliant career, and wish him all the best as he progresses. Many Ring of Honor fans refer to Bryan as the “best in the world” and we look forward to looking on in earnest as he shows everyone watching the wrestling world’s biggest stage just why that is.

Bryan will appear as scheduled at all of the September Ring of Honor events. Please join us in Philadelphia, Dayton, Chicago, Boston, and New York as we say thank you and farewell to a truly one-of-a-kind talent.

I guess I'm happy for him that this finally happened. I'm not sure what else there was for him in the Indies, but I am sad I won't see him live as often. I just hope he doesn't go the way of Cabana, Spanky, London, but rather goes the way of Punk and Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne.

Not for nothing but London and Spanky would have "gone the way" of Bourne a year ago, too. We probably shouldn't count him as a success yet, at least no more than a former CW and Tag team champion like London was or a guy who got an interim world title run last year.

That being said with the right breaks Danielson could be a Punk success story. If he gets better opportunities than Colt or plays the game better than London and Kendrick he could work out better. He could spend years as the next Jamie Noble. He could be the next Benoit. Who knows? Danielson, a dude who has supposedly contemplated retirement a few times and has taken beatings over the years, apparently decided to take on the crazy WWE schedule at a chance at success or the financial payday. So good luck to him and hopefully the next 2 years aren't spent wondering where he is and why he isn't getting a better push than Tyler Recks. But who knows?

DAMMIT! I think I'm at festival for the next ROH show in Dayton. Dammit.

Sure this could be a giant disappointment, but I prefer to look at the bright side--this could be awesome.

We shall see.
