No...No....No.

WWE Doctors are dipshits. They should lose your medical license putting the company's wishes ahead of a patients.

Nice try slik :roll:

IT'S A SWERVE! A WORK! A HOAX!

(I hope)

(but prob legit)

he's retiring from Total Divas so he can focus on his in ring career :shifty:

I knew something was up when he got a hair cut.

He goes in the ring, says he is retiring.... but then KEVIN OWENS comes out (because he's a dick) and belittles him and then beats him up.

Daniel Bryan returns a few weeks later and says that he is now OUT OF RETIREMENT and will kick Kevin Owen's ass at Wrestlemania.

He should come out with a few ties for the Docs and Michael Cole. #Unfinishedbusiness

I had the exact same thought! Must be happening.

not sure I understand this post

Daniel Bryan has been cleared by several doctors to compete. WWE doctors have been directed by Vince McMahon to not clear him even though he is probably healthy enough to return.

STD is REALLY wanting to see DB wrestle again. Multiple doctors have cleared him, medically, except for WWE's doctors.


Therefore, there is a "conspiracy" that the E doesn't want to allow DB to wrestle for various reasons (stealing the spotlight from Reigns, etc.).

STD and many DB fans want to see him get in there and mix it up again, despite the possible life-threatening/altering injury that could occur if he takes a minor bump the wrong way. Granted, that can happen at any time, to anyone but is exacerbated by his recent injuries/concussions.

If there are legit health concerns, good for him for hanging it up and not turning into a gimpy old man who can barely remember what he did in his day thanks to the damage sustained to his cerebral cortex and flux capacitor housing.

Conspiracy theory that cannot actually be proven.

Please submit your medical evidence showing that there is 0 risk with him getting in the ring again.

STD has inside sources that tell him the orders came straight from the top

I think the tinfoil hat needs to come off a bit. Now, more than ever, the WWE is desperate for recognized talent, if anything I would think they would try to push for a return more than anything to help fill out the roster

Like, that doesn't even really make a lot of sense... even from a "can't have him overshadowing Reigns" POV, are they just gonna not have any babyfaces?

No, because then people would cheer for Daniel Bryan more than Roman Reigns, and they need Roman Reigns to look strong. All other babyfaces must be supressed.

#C-O-N-SPIRACY!

:shifty:

"Daniel Bryan comes out and tell the audience it's ok. Although he won't be wrestling anymore his spirit lives on. In Roman Reigns"
wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if this actually happened


Gonna miss watching DB if this thing is legit.

I don't think I've ever seen this many top guys out either god's still pissed about losing to Vince or trying to get him to push Ambrose harder.

<font color=goldenrod>If reports are to be believed, Bryan requested his release since his own independent doctors have cleared him and he wants to continue wrestling. WWE however don't want to release him and just like Rey Mysterio the wording of his contract is such that WWE are able to freeze the contract in the event that he gets hurt. Basically time isn't coming off the contract when he's on the shelf.

And WWE are supposedly never going to clear him. So they may be holding him hostage.

Hope it ends up being an elaborate work.</font>

Well bugger, that's a shame. May watch Raw to see if it is a work though if the rumors of him being cleared by multiple doctors thing is true and WWE have cleared him finally. If it's not, I wanna watch anyway as it'll be a sad moment.

This word is literally headlining that article.




No wonder you are working at Lowe's and not doing journalistic stuff.

Mauro Ronallo is in town for Raw. Daniel Bryan will give Michael Cole the Knee for Brie and end both of their careers.

I noticed it but it seemed to make sense that it wasn't a rumor with the retirement announcement. I guess connecting the dots is too hard for you?

Speculative at best

But it is a rumor, in YOUR accusation. He is retiring due to his health.

I mean, if DB wanted to get out of his contract, he should just be caught taking a drug cocktail one night. He'll be gone fast.

Now if he goes off the rails and accuses WWE, specifically, Vince of holding him down, that'd be totally tits and shake things up a bit.


He would also most likely be sued into oblivion and actually become a hobo.

Could he not just show up on Raw and drop a bunch of F-bombs? That would be great. Would get him out of his contract pretty quickly.

He should do that anyway. Like do the retirement speech and the just lower the mic and say "fuck it" and air his grievances. Have people question if it was a shoot or a work and keep him off TV for another 3 months until he just randomly appears attacking HHH outside a building.

I think Daniel Bryan is the one with grounds to sue. Unfair practices of having a scientist (doctor) have result-based testing is unethical. A doctor answers to a patient first.

"Hey, you know who's name starts with V and is a bit of a cunt? Well let's see how quick that cunt cuts my fucking mic."

Look, Hasney and I just turned WWE programming around and made it MUST SEE!!!!


:P

You are still sticking to the rumor being true though.


WWE, as a private entity, has the right to go by the word of their doctor rather than that of Dr. Nick down the street.

Do you have a detailed report of what the WWE's doctors' grounds for clearing him are?

Dave Meltzer reported that Daniel tried to give notice.

That gif is so bad I didn't realize it was animated when I posted it.
