Just when the comparisons of Benoit stoppedbin my head, you say this. Fuck!
I think its possible. Forget Mania, they need people to put on a show at the Rumble, their second biggest show of the year.
I could actually see R-Truth coming out for the match only to get halfway down the walkway and have another wrestler tell him he's not in the match because he forgot to declare himself eligible.
already there
He's silly, but his grammar is fine.
Plus, his black bean noodle salad thingy seemed pretty good.
Yes please. His completely random interruption last year was his best moment.

WWE realised Bryan wanted to quit to wrestle Nakamura in NJPW, were so concerned about his health they hired Nakamura so they could stop him. Good guy WWE.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The problem is that WWE already is on notice that they think he's got a screw loose. If he murders his whole family and someone comes after them in a wrongful death suit, the fact he signed a waiver and had some doctors say it was okay isn't gonna cut it because they still had at least one diagnosis of "screw loose."
WWE is rightly concerned that any more incidence of "man kills his whole family" that's even vaguely tied to them will kill their Carny Notsport. The NFL just gets away with it because WOOO NFL
It's not so much that one huge hit could hurt him, its that the dude should 100% not be doing contact sports as even small impacts will affect him far more than the average person and the cumulative effects of the impacts will lead to a far quicker deterioration of his cognitive abilities.
Again, this is all caveated with the fact that neuroscience is an incredibly complex area and there is so much we are still learning not just about CTE and concussions but the fundamentals of how our brain works!
Thing is if Bryan's family or estate decides in 20 years down the line or god forbid, when he passes, to go after WWE "you let him back in the ring that ONE TIME and YOU KNEW it would hurt him yadadada give us money". And we all know how Bryan isn't so hot on doing anything but wrestle so....
WWE are protecting themselves and Bryan in this case imo.
The Cesaro headlock match?
I think Bryan Taker would be good. I don't know about choke slam through the table spot though.
Either or can work.
Story line doesn't have to be more than. "I WANT A MATCH!"

And it's not just about Bryan. If they clear Bryan, they expose themselves to previous members of the roster who might be looking to sue.
They're protecting themselves from those lawsuits.
headlocks, rollups and sharpshooters for 27 minutes.
fans will be on their feet the entire time.
Yeah I have no idea why that happened. Dreamer definitely knows where all the bodies are buried.

Don't confuse the fear of getting sued with any kind of legitimate concern for the health of Bryan Danielson.
No to mention he suffer from sever memory loss.
Who knows man. Just hard for me to imagine Bryan losing it and tearing up his hipster farm in the backyard and then going to binge on Carls Jr. in a V8 gas guzzler.
It just seems hypocritical that they wont let Bryan wrestle yet they gave the green light to a guy who's, by seemingly all accounts, way worse off than Bryan.
It shows they overlook it when it's convenient to them.
The ONLY reason Bryan is not being cleared by WWE is because of legal repercussions. Don't get worked, brother. Look at their fucking history. Doesn't take a genius.
Kevin Nash reality show...my god
these marks really think they care about bryan's health
this is about one thing and one thing only. making roman look strong. with bryan in the picture, all the idiot fans will just chant daniel bryan all the time and ruin everything like they've done in the past. just listen to mr. mcmahon's response to those daniel bryan chants on raw a couple weeks ago. and I quote, "SHUUUUUUUT UP".
dreamer, the walking concussion, being cleared proves none of that shit really matters. the thing is, as much as they want to make roman look strong, they need to sell out a 110k seat stadium and 90% of their fucking roster is out due to injury. they might need to bite the bullet and book someone who is more over than roman reigns at mania.
A Ric Flair reality show would probably be depressing. I'd watch a reality show around Heyman, Xavier, or Nash though.
"It's all fake, none of this matters. It's entertainment"
And Tommy went through a fucking table.

Xavier I could see getting one since they seem very keen on getting these guys to do projects that don't really have anything to do with pretending to fight.
I don't know does it make me a bad person that when I saw the Cena news I said out loud "Why couldn't it be Roman"
i know he didnt leave but did they clear him? the past few posts confused me.
or im still drunk

Hard hitting journalist Dave Meltzer had a conversation with a "neuroscience person" and now all of us get to pretend to be experts on brain trauma. Thanks for paying that fraud klonere or we might have missed out.
I think people are speculating that with some of the NJPW talent coming in and the fact that almost all of their main event roster is out through WrestleMania with injuries, that WWE might finally clear Bryan.
That falls into full conspiracy theory. I think they honestly like Bryan, who they probably view as a great hand in the ring who doesn't complain about not being in the top spot (they just get pissed when the crowd pushes him to the top).
LOL they're not keeping him back so Roman can get over.
As right now no he has gotten clear, but there a good he chance he will given the news cena is gone.
Well, Bryan outright stated he wanted to fight Nakamura as a pitch for Beast in the East last year, no?
Truthfully, I don't think this is entirely out of the realm of possibility considering Bryan being the most over guy on the roster has railroaded Vince's last two WrestleMania plans, and right now Vince has a full on "get Roman over" boner. If Bryan doesn't return by Raw After Mania, the guy is done.
I think he pitched more of a cross promotion show between New Japan and WWE in Japan with that match happening.
