Wrestling Wrap Up: Daniel Bryan as a Heel Could Be Great
Greetings, awesome loyal Wrap Up readers who are awesome. It's time to turn a pile of blerf into a succulent bowl of crawfish etouffee. Yup, we're still in the WWE holiday season dead zone right now and hot headlines are hard to come by.

He's so vile and annoying on so many levels - even levels you weren't aware existed. He's the perfect storm of obnoxious. He's like an airhorn with a cozy cap. What a gift.
