There's no reason to expect Daniel Bryan to pull a Mark Henry here.
It's over. It's dead. I'm so damn sad. I loved how over he was, and it's so sad to think people will never cheer him like the peak of his career. It must eat him up terribly too, because he lives for that.
I hope he can take this well and be happy with his life. I'd hate to see him in some other company if he's medically at risk.
The one wrestler that I fell in love with, like I was a kid again. No one has been so fun to watch develop

And just as soon as they sign Nakamura too!
That's just really something huh?

Not only that, but I'm really sceptical WWE would let him retire like this. Sources have said he's not remotely interested in a non-wrestling role, so what we're looking at here is a release.
He's retiring from WWE. He's made it clear that he's ready to fight, and three doctors have his corner. He'll be going somewhere else.
I just don't see WWE sending him out white hot to another promotion.

Didn't AJ Lee retire to get out of her contract? I'm sure she still had to sign a lengthy non-compete though, so if Bryan took that route, he'd still be screwed short term.
And the crowd will go into meltdown. For all the wrong reasons.
if it's a work, since this Roman Reigns face push is going nowhere, Roman would get absolutely nuclear heat if he came out and destroyed Daniel Bryan tonight during the retirement speech. it wouldn't even have to make much sense, people are just waiting for a storyline reason to boo Roman. just have him say that for the last year he's been ignored and booed by the fans because of the fan darling Daniel Bryan. then a couple of weeks showing DB in the hospital, then saying he'll fight Roman at WM. the match would be hot as hell.
it'll be what imbask said, though

You can't block someone from making a living.
Bryan probably taking advice from CM Punk on how to get out of the contract.

So is he retiring from WWE or Wrestling?
Yeah, If he really wanted to leave he would have pulled a punk or a del rio. and just leave.

The wrestlers do.
Honestly, I think some of you are truly selfish to blame the WWE for not allowing a physically compromised wrestler to continue risking his health for your personal enjoyment. If you're a fan, you should be siding with the WWE for telling an athlete when it's time to stop.
I hope he finds happiness through hobby beekeeping and organic gardening.

Thanks Vince and HHH. You fuckheads. You ruined it when he had a chance and now he doesn't. Good luck craving for the next Daniel Bryan.

At least D.Brine will be able to score sweet ringside seats for all of Nakamura's matches with his connection to the company. That'll be fun for him. He can sit beside Brock Fan.

Daniel Bryan has to die for Bryan Danielson to live again.

He's eating a pedigree from HHH for nuclear heat going into Mania and before he goes and does it a fourth Pedigree on the steel steps, Roman comes in for the save and hugs Bryan. People will love Roman. People will accept Roman. Roman is life.
Roman's not saving Bryan.

Its a work. He's going to come out, announce he's not retiring. Have a match then and there. Then get injured again and have to legit retire.

How many retirements have been reversed in the WWE?

"Retire" where are we going Japan or Mexico.
It's likely the WWE's view is that having DB around would just interfere with pushing Roman Reigns to the moon (like the Rumble last year). Since for whatever reason they're incapable of having more than one top face at a time.
Imagine today's WWE dealing with having Rock/Austin in their primes right now and how one of them would be held down due to their mentality of only wanting one big star at a time. Shit is infuriating sometimes.
It's hilarious how bad the IWC wants this to be a work.
Even if it was, how can you have faith in creative booking this guy after all the shit they've done to him? Kane angle? Roman angle? Did everyone forget where he was before he dropped the title???
All VKM and Dunn care about is getting Reigns over, and having Bryan in ANY capacity on the WM card is only going to get in the way of that.

WWE are in the middle of multiple concussion lawsuits, the WWE doctor would be factoring that in unlike the outside doctors.

Such a beautiful moment. Best thing Bryan was a part of in 2015. #TeamWorkThis guy has a mind for the business.

Steph needs the heat. Brie can then take a swing at her before getting laid out by Charlotte while D.Brine looks on in concern at his fallen wife while the announcers break out their Owen voices.
1) The IWC, as you call it, is the only thing about your comment that's a work. The IWC doesn't exist. Everyone is on the Internet. Especially casual wrestling fans.
2) The folks that USED to compromise what was the IWC back in the day (over a decade ago) no longer watch WWE.

God fuck my brain read that as Daniel Bryan has died.
Smells like a work to me though. He was going on and on and on and on and on about how he's cleared ready to go. BUT since Vince is being a complete shit head maybe he's simply retiring from WWE.

at this point, it's sounding like he'll retire from WWE and go wrestle somewhere else. He's been saying for months on twitter that he's been completely cleared by many trusted doctors... all but the WWE's doctor.
Retiring seems to be a way for him to get out of his contract.

He comes out to give the speech. Reigns comes out in support and then beats him down. Reigns get the ultimate heel turn and heat.
Cant wait for Brayn Danielson vs Okada at the g1 climax this year.
He's not going risk his life to make peanuts.
