>Bryan is actually okay to wrestle
>This is a long read, but Im gonna recap all the information he gave regarding his injury and how he was made to retire. This can all be found by listening to his interview today with Edge and Christian on their podcast.
>So his story starts with the time of his last concussion. He gets cleared by his own doctors, but that isn't enough for WWE.
>So first WWE and Vince in particular force him to see their hand picked experts to get testing done on his brain. So they sent him to these doctors (that aren't his own doctors which already cleared him), first of which was a concussion specialist in Phoenix. They cleared him.
>That wasn't enough for WWE, and he asked WWE what more they want him to do. He said he would go get a 3rd opinion. So he went to UCLA to get testing from a team of concussion specialists who had him run a lot of different tests. They cleared him.
>He comes back to WWE, and yet again they say no you are not cleared to go, even though 3 independent institutions had already cleared him, 2 of which were doctors WWE chose.
>So they send him to go get some experimental stuff done. Testing that isn't even FDA approved. They do some kind of reflex or impact testing, so they hook stuff up to his brain and test that and whatever. So he does that, and they tell him he has a lesion in a certain region on his brain. So he calls Vince, and he tells him he has this lesion on his brain. He says he was crying when he got off the phone because his career was done. And the next week Vince calls him and tells him to come to RAW in Seattle and give a retirement speech. Initially he didn't want to do it but he became convinced it was for the best.
>>
>>3030441
>Then after everything dies down, he gets a call from one of the doctors who originally cleared him and he asks him what happened that made him retire. He tells the doctor that they found a lesion on his brain. And then the doctor tells him that in medical terminology, a lesion does not mean what it usually means. Bryan thought it meant he had a cut on his brain, but the doctor says that in medical terminology, a lesion is a very vague term. It just means that something is there. Not necessarily a cut or anything like that.
>Then that doctor looks at the report that said he had a lesion. And what he found was that Daniel's brain reflexes in that region were slower than they expected. Thats why in the report they wrote it in as a lesion.
>Now here is the really messed up part. That region of his brain had a slow reflex compared to MMA fighters and football players and athletes that they usually test at that facility. It did NOT have any reflex that is slower than what you would expect in a normal human being. And since Bryan is a performer and not really a sports person, obviously you would expect his reflex time to be closer to an average persons, not a high level sports athlete.
>In addition to that, they didnt have a baseline for how fast the reflex in that part of his brain used to be. So they had no way of even knowing if there was actually any damage there, or if that was just the normal speed at which that region of his brain functioned.
>>
>>3030442
>He went to this Joe Namath institute to get more tests done and they said his brain is no different from a run of the mill college football player. He has had some concussions, but he is not a person at risk of brain damage.
>He has had even more testing done and from certain tests they say that now, with the time he has had out of wrestling, and with continued work and treatment, his brain could look like someone who has never even played a contact sports. And he says he is sad looking back because he feels he wasted the prime years of his career.
tldr; Vince did everything he could to trick Bryan to retire
>"I had a conversation with Vince. Actually, I don’t know when it was. I don’t know if it was before WrestleMania 30 or if it was after WrestleMania 30, but it went something along the lines of this. It’s like he said something along the lines to me of, ‘we really want to push Roman to be the next John Cena.’ And I had said to him, ‘boss, I 100% support that, but I just want you to know that I want to be the next John Cena.’ Like, don’t tell me he wants some other guy to be the next John Cena!”

i havent followed WWE for years, why did vince want bryan to retire?
>>
>>3030451
Because Daniel Bryan wasn't supposed to succeed.
>>
Jesus, that's tragic.
>>
>>3030451
Because he was everything vince hated.
>>
Yeah I listened to it just now its dodgy stuff, I wonder if Vince is petty enough to make him retire to get him out of the way of a Roman Reigns push
>>
>>3030473
He was probably already salty that he had to push him to begin with. And then he had two back to back stop-and-start runs that were ended at bad times because of injury. One with the WWE title and then with the IC. After the second time, Vince was probably just like "fuck it, he's too little and he's too injury prone."

>tfw I actually predicted his injury after winning the title being a work because Vince absolutely hated Bryan as champion and told him to go get married right after he won so the heat would die down and he could get the belt off of Bryan with a worked injury without enraging the fans all over again
>tfw I knew more than Dave Meltzer without having any "insider information"
>>
I don't buy the conspiracy theories. Really it all boils down to the fact that WWE are in the middle of a lawsuit regarding concussions.
Secondly, they don't want another Benoit situation.
It's WWE being overly cautious for once. It sucks for Daniel, but he'll wrestle again anyway, so there you go. At least the time off let's everything heal properly.

>>3030486
Thats how it seemed to me. But hey once his contracts up he can go to any of their competitors and be a pretty fucking major draw so they either need to start letting him wrestle again or risk someone else getting the hottest baby face they had had in years.

I like how you think Vince and his cronies are above shit like this, and that they haven't been involved in shady shit all the way back to the 80s.
>>
This is 100% a ploy to keep Bryan out of the picture so he wouldn't fuck with Reigns. Fuck Vince, fuck HHH, Fuck Dunn, and fuck whoever else runs that company and refuses to listen to what their audience actually wants.
And no, they weren't just being careful with Daniel. Since when has this company actually treated their employees like human beings? Wrestlers get rushed back from injury all the fucking time. WWE were scared of Daniels popularity, and wouldn't keep him wrestling because he wasn't their guy. Simple as that.
>>

>Wrestlers get rushed back from injury all the fucking time.

If that were true the card during WM32 wouldn't be so thin.

This is completely forgetting the seizures he his and him not being able to move his arm.

>Cena is rushed back from injury whenever he is sidelined
>Braun came back this year way to early after getting injured
>Undertaker should have retired years ago but they keep bringing him back, and he's at major risk of seriously hurting himself
>Mick Foley was wrestling for years after he shouldn't have been
>Kurt Angle became a drug addict rather than actually take time off to recover
Should I keep going? I can if you'd like.
>>
>>3030532
I do remember a time Jhon Cina being rushed back from some type of injury. So, it does happen.
>>
>>3030545
I thought the seizures weren't a thing. Him losing feeling in his arm is, though.
You'd think 3 separate medical centers would have included that in their analysis.
>>
>>3030486
Yeah d00d they're being overly cautious.
They were fucking against him since day 1. They found an out and they took it. They had him go to some of the best specialists in the world and he was cleared and it still wasn't good enough. Could you imagine them doing this to someone they think is an actual draw like Cena? Fuck no. If they liked Bryan he would have been back in the ring a long time ago. If this was Rock, Austin, Reigns, Cena, ANYONE They consider good enough to be *the* guy they would have brought him back without a second thought. This was a way to get out of him becoming bigger than what they wanted. Fuck WWE, I hope their company dies off.
>>
>>3030486
how are they being overly cautious when they allow Tommy fucking Dreamer to wrestle in 2016?

#cancelwwenetwork this carny needs to needs to be beaten into a coma by one the guys he's fucked over the years, I'd go out of my way to take a big shit on his coffin before then put the dirt on it so he could spend then next decade under the shit of a complete loser, that's what he deserves
>>
>>3030486
They wouldn't let Lesnar, Ziggler, Balor, Asuka, Ambrose, AJ, Jeff wrestle if that is the case.

Bryan confirmed not to be an athlete. Good thing he retired. Leave wrestling to the big boys, lil guy. Pretend time is over.

>>3030451
Have you ever seen Daniel Bryan? He's the biggest hippie liberal douche you can imagine, mixed in with the entitled millennial hypocrisy philosophy. One of the worst human beings imaginable. His daughter is going to grow up to loathe him unless he shelters her from reality.

>Another "The company was against Bryan" meme
I'm sure Bryan has some appeal but it clearly wasn't getting over to a lot of people. He wasn't drawing and had the potential of being put into a critical condition (IE. his seizure)
>B-but I wanted to be Cena!
For all the hate you can give Cena, he at least looks like he could kick someones ass and has charisma to back it up, bryan is a flabby vegan chump (Even if he had a skinny ZSJ aesthetic it would be better than skinnyfat), his promos were abysmal and sounded like the kind of thing you would hear from a schoolkid being forced to do a presentation
>>
His retirement is all just a giant work in the making for him to face the Authority a second time and have to take it down when the roots run much deeper than we expected the first time.

12.14.15 RAW Viewership: 1st Hour: 4.043 million, 2nd hour: 3.786 million, 3rd Hour ft. Roman Reigns WWE title win: 3.825 million (gained 39,000 viewers).
02.08.16 RAW viewership: 1st Hour: 3.907 million, 2nd hour: 3.905 million, 3rd Hour ft. Daniel Bryan's retirement: 3.368 million (lost 537,000 viewers).
As former WWE writer Kevin Eck stated on PWTorch Livecast (May 5, 2016); "Daniel Bryan wasn't setting world of fire, when it came to ratings in certain segments, live attendance, same thing with CM Punk, the numbers just weren't there to support that he was over to the level that certain fans thought he was."

Unfortunately, the wrestling world is full of manlets now. His time has passed and the only thing he has left to contribute is dying in the ring from a concussion, which I pray nightly that happens and maggots make a small meal of his midget corpse.

he looks like a fan that hopped the railing. putting what was supposed to be the most prestigious title wrestling on someone this unathletic is why no one watches wrestling anymore. also for all the complaining smarks do about big guys having limited move sets, it's funny their darling can literally only do sidekicks.
>>
>>3030451
Bryan was the most over guy in the company, but Vince didn't want to push him. Instead he wanted to push Roman Reigns, And fans saw this and basically turned on Reigns 3 years ago.
>>
>>3030532
Cena has many times returned to injury months early. Austin himself had no business getting back in the ring after his neck injury. Kurt Angle worked a match at Wrestlemania against Brock and he needed major neck surgery going into the match.
