WWE: DANIEL BRYAN RETIRES -- Thank you, Bryan

[BUCKLE UP]

If I had any money what-so-ever, I'd put it all on the line and say that it's a work.

 

[Sammy225]

I would very highly doubt that they would use a concussion as a work considering all of the scrutiny around it everywhere (NHL, NFL, Wrestling ect.....).

My money is on Vince fearing legal ramifications if something does happen to DB. Read somewhere that Vinces #1 priority in this business is money and knowing DB can make him money he would not be holding him out unless their was something else to it.

They have already done it.

This company uses dead relatives to (poorly attempt) advancing angles. Concussion is nothing.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This company is full of carnies. No one working at WWE is above using concussions as a work.

if they aren't above using dead people, they aren't above this

 

[AfroThunder396]

Bryan should go to Lucha Underground, put on a mask, and wrestle as The American Dragon.

 

[THESabreLeaf*]

Then I wonder how this will affect Brie Bella.

Baby making time.

 

[S A W F T*]

Can't wait for the pop of the year when DB returns at the RR.

 

[HeymanGuy]

If DB returns as the #30 spot... it will be incredible.

 

[WinterEmpire]

Bryan should go to Lucha Underground, put on a mask, and wrestle as The American Dragon.

Then you could re-use the Hulk Hogan/Mr. America storyline

it practically writes itself!

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Went and saw concussion, the WWE doctor does not come off well. makes you wonder if he should be making calls about head injury's especially now that he's going to be under a major microscope for a little while after this

 

[Emperoreddy]

DB posted a picture of the WWE.com article about the New Japan poaching and then left this comment

bryanldanielsonCan @WWE clear me already?!!! Article courtesy of WWE.com

He is chomping at the bit to get back in.

 

[Balance]

I feel like they really don't want to clear him (if it was Cena or Reigns they would have) but now the WWE is so handcuffed.

They don't have a drawable face that is not a part timer besides Roman Reigns. They need Daniel Bryan.

They are worried fans will hijack the RTWM again if Bryan is cleared and back on TV.

Is Reigns even a draw?

 

[Blitzkrug]

According to Wrestling forum and a very, VERY small minority here yes.

 

[Balance]

Is Reigns even a draw?

He may not get the pop's you would want for a guy with the amount of wins over top talent as he does but he is still the main man on Raw for quite a while now and he is the head liner for all the house shows and non-smark cities do cheer for him so he has to be a draw.

That doesn't mean he's a draw.

WWE shows, on TV and in person, will get viewers and attendance regardless of who the head liner is simply because it is WWE. WWE itself is a draw, albeit not the draw it once was.

It's not like the ratings have been great either.

There's a segment of the audience who will cheer for who they are told to cheer for.

I think the term "draw" gets overused however, the number of legitimate big draws is pretty small I feel.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Vince will bring back bryan with the stipulation that he turns heel and attacks reigns to dethrone him as champion

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

You know who else gets pops at house shows?

Ryback
Zack Ryder
R-Truth

All draws?

I will not judge Reigns as a draw just yet. Ask me again after mania. This is his first run as the top guy. Cena was still clearly the top wrestler last rtwm. Those numbers will not lie. If Jerryworld is full I'll be very impressed with his drawing power. Still will hate his character and promos though.

 

[RockLobster]

Good lord...

The WWE NEEDED DB back before all these injuries, now I would personally say that he's ESSENTIAL to the show. He says he's been cleared independently, he wants to go, the WWE needs to actually pay ATTENTION to their audience and put DB back in play.

 

[George Binks]

#30 at the rumble and elimates reigns right after he elimates the big show. Vince screws over Daniel and makes his life hell and puts him in an impossible match to lose the belt. Vince tries firing Daniel Bryan, but he says he will sue the WWE if he doesn't get his rematch at wrestle mania Boom wrestlemania is sold out

Career match against Lesnar. Either he walks out as Champion or gets fired. That's at least a 4 star match and your main event.
