That's a shame, but it's for the best for him. I'm glad he's accepted it and hopefully he can stick around in a non-wrestling role.

Could this be a work?

Damn. Announcing tonight? Any chance it's a work or a job or whatever you call it?

if he was having head issues good for him. No reason to risk your future mental health for something so trivial.

Fucking hell. No.
Except WWE has blocked attempts to exit out of his contract. He's Mysterio'd.

Hate what they've done with him, but this is a shame.
I hope he's alright and it's a work.

He'll 100% wrestle again when he's legally able to. That's if this whole thing isn't a work anyway.

That is horrible to hear. I hope the WWE keeps him around. I think I would like to see him on commentary with a charismatic heel like Xavier Woods (or anyone from New Day). I could see a modern day Monsoon/Heenan dynamic working out.
That contract doesn't mean shit, ask Del rio and Punk how much it matter.

Vince was never going to let him return to wrestle as long as they were trying to get Reigns over as top face. Funny that Orton can continually come back with all the concussions that guy has had.
BOOK IT
I'm being 100% sincere when I say that Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan is one of my favorite wrestlers to watch...ever. He's one of the all-time greats alongside Eddie Guerrero & Ric Flair imo. Thank you, Bryan.
Gimmick posts like these are why WrassleGAF got nuked.

Why risk your health even if it's for something you love? Great decision for Bryan even if it's the one he never wanted to make. It sucks but this is for the best.

I guess this means that the rumors that he was fine medically-wise, and that WWE for some reason wouldn't clear him are false. But still, this sucks. He was one of my favorites, but I understand completely that he has to retire if this is an Edge-like scenario and he has no other choice to keep his health in check.
My only guess is that he announced it on Twitter first, because they might not want people getting overly-excited when his theme song hits tonight. I can't see this being a work.

No...I'm crying now, but I completely understand after last year. Daniel Bryan got me back to WWE in 2013 and I watched so many of his fantastic matches from before he joined the company and while he was working for them, 2010-2015. I had gotten fed up in 2009 after Cena. The man will always be my favorite wrestler and Wrestlemania 30 will always be a highlight. That was such an amazing and fun night. Love you Bryan. Stay healthy.
BRYAN MARK FOREVER.

This is fucking bullshit. WWE Trying to keep him down because they know if he comes back their golden boy Reigns would have no chance.
End of an era. This might be one of the most heart breaking stories in wrestling. A guy who literally was the best in the world - an innovator- and someone who completely broke all notions of what and who should be world champion. Fell victim to the sport and his own health.
Today we lost someone truly special.
It's time for Bryan to take a full on job at the Performance Center and get some of these guys and average joes up to snuff. His wrestling passion and ability can be used to infuse new talents into a more unpredictable and entertaining product.
