Where was this concern for concussions when everyone was pining for Daniel Bryan to get back in the ring?
See, this kind of post is the issue I have with the way you guys are framing this. We had the same conflicting information that Bryan was clinging to, but you guys are pushing it like we KNEW FOR A FACT he was beyond repair and had no right to hope otherwise and it just makes it feel like you guys're taking advantage of the situation to build yet another internet nerd strawman to feel superior to.
Personally I've been skeptical of the WWE's medical side ever since they blatantly changed the Wellness Policy to keep from having to axe Orton that one time, and I was wondering why the hell Bryan was allowed to keep doing the diving headbutt when he was still active, and if I'd known there were more comprehensive tests like this one, would have been beating the drum that they should be used across the board much earlier. I mean do you even disagree that they shouldn't be? If not, what the fuck is even the point of saying stuff like that except to carry on some bullshit internet fight?
After all, the premise here is that we should be praising the WWE for making the right call (I basically agree, at least now) and shaming everyone who disagreed with or was skeptical of them (not so much on this) based not on the information that was available at the time, but based on what we know now. So the idea is that if you're doing the right thing, it doesn't matter what the reason is. So... With that in mind... What's the point of posts like the quoted one, again?
I dunno I wish that there could be some kind of discussion about anything wrasslin' around here anymore that didn't devolve into this smark vs. anti-smark bullshit.
