What actually caused Bryan's injury?

I believe the recent neck injury all started when he got that stinger during the Orton match a couple of years ago(You know the one that was stopped prematurely, and Triple H came out to console Bryan).

 

[British Monsoon]

Samson Negro?

Billy Samson, who sometimes went by Samson Negro (but was never mentioned by that name on TV). He had a plain gimmick, the only real 'cism was with the 'all black guys have super hard skulls' thing, which Johnny Kwango popularised. There were a lot of stereotypical gimmicks in British wrestling at the time;

Average: 3.672 Million

The difference as compared to last week: Only 5.6%. Meltzer said it should have been up at least 10% by default because of other programming. Guess people didn't want to see the Authority as much as WWE thought.

And I say good. Fuck these boring-ass authority promos that get replayed over and over and over and over and over and over again throughout the show. It's not 1999, no one gives a fuck about watered-down Mr McMahon rehashes.

Good thing they continue to not advertise Brock or Bryan.

Damn, Hardy really let himself go this time.

Yep both are on next week but was that even mentioned? Plus for Bryan fans he is going to do some house shows before he does the Rumble:

Jan 16 - St.Louis, MO
Jan 17 - Abilene, TX
Jan 18 - San Antonio, TX

His advertised opponent is Kane! You can't make this stuff up.

 

[lovely ladies]

Why are they performing experiments with only their underwear on?

NOLA did an interview with Daniel Bryan about returning to New Orleans next week, and his recovery:

The World Wrestling Entertainment star had surgery — called cervical foraminotomy — on May 15, 2014, to decompress the nerve root of a lingering neck injury. When the strength wasn't returning to his right arm, Bryan, who was stripped of his championship in June, was on the verge of trying a second surgery, this time on his elbow.

That's when he took a trip to Denver to visit Greg Roskopf, founder of Muscle Activation Techniques. After two sessions with Roskopf, Bryan said not only did he notice an improvement in his strength, but it stayed.

So that guy saved his career.

What match does Bryan want for Wrestlemania 31?

"Brock Lesnar is also supposed to be on (Monday's) show," Bryan said, referring to the WWE champion who ended The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak at the Superdome and then defeated John Cena for the title at Summerslam in August. "And to me, that's still my championship. My dream match for WrestleMania this year is if Brock Lesnar keeps the title and I win the Royal Rumble, and I wrestle Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 31 for the WWE championship.

"That's the match I want," Bryan added. "That's the match that I've been thinking about this entire time that I've been injured."

"Functionally, I feel great. My movement is great. Overall, I feel good," he said. "I didn't have any hesitation (in the ring), there was nothing that I did before that I can't do now. Not only that, mentally I've been recharged. I'm going to be better than ever."

Also sounds like a second surgery for him would have been a hail mary. Either it would have worked or he'd have to retire.

Makes great sense. Kane is a very safe worker and they know each other well, so good warm up matches for him.

It's almost like Bryan is the reason why that third hour was so up last week

Kane is easy to work with. Punk said so, many said so.

Should we put him there with Ryback?

Helping with the electrocution of Mark Henry.

Just give us Bryan vs Brock nontitle if they really want the Roman Empire to begin at WM31.

I just want this match ;_;

Wait, that was legit?

Yeah, dude took a header into the padded wall that night.

Just keep the german suplex under 10 for the match.

Are they on next week?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Me too, which means WWE won't give it to you. There are still people in WWE that say Bryan shouldn't be a top guy.

To the good ones, sure. But some of those shindy posters are just fucking awwwwwwful. Here's some vintage Japanese posters;

From that NOLA interview posted above:

In a match against Randy Orton on Raw in 2013, Bryan got a stinger and couldn't feel either of his arms for the rest of the match. Bryan said he was able to wrestle through the pain, but then he lost all strength in his right arm, making surgery inevitable.
