Jrag Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Depends on when his health turned bad. They had no problem using him to prop up Reigns in a hard hitting match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James F'n X Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not sure why he didn't just retire after the injuries last year. This feels a lot like the last working days of Arn Anderson at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 They had no problem putting him in a ladder match. He didn't really take any bumps in that match, at least any dangerous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm still not sure why people keep calling for him to retire, as opposed to, oh, I don't know, having surgery to correct the problem and the sit out for the same amount of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's too bad he's having all these issues I really want to see him as a top player for a good amount of time. But if it isnt in the cards it isnt in the cards. He had a glorious brief moment in the sun and that's more than most get. I thought he had gotten surgery? The Tommy John surgery? or did he opt not to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'd rather not see him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair at this point, but oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 At what point did I "want" Bryan done? What I wanted was people to realize that perhaps there was a reason he wasn't being "given his chance" and not shitting all over a guy who wasn't him.

The Natural Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just heard this for the first time. Best wishes go out to Daniel Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If they didn't think he was good to go, then he shouldn't have been in the Rumble and he shouldn't have been in a ladder match (protected or not). All they did with the Rumble was sabotage their "golden boy"'s popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If Bryan does retire, I'd be okay with a US/IC Title Unification match at Payback with John Cena being his final match. Just let him go all out, and then he quietly steps away from the ring. He'd be a good WWE Ambassador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 He is an idiot for letting Harper rag doll him for a month in nothing TV matches. Mentioning them makes me fucking cringe like I did when I watched them for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Man, talk of him retiring seems super pre-mature. I get that y'all like the guy, I do too, but Bryan isn't likely to wind up in a wheelchair. How many WWE dudes has that recently happened to in the last 20 years? I'm also not talking about wrestlers who have died since Bryan isn't pilling himself up or taking PEDs.

Web Conn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If there was anyway to make his last match against Brock I'd mark the F out. If he does retire I wonder if he could push it until SummerSlam so we can get the match. It probably wouldn't be the smartest thing health wise, but it'd be hell of a way out.

Casey Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 PWInsider.com has not been able to confirm exactly why Bryan was pulled, but when reached for comment, WWE responded with the following statement: "Daniel Bryan has been pulled from the remainder of the UK tour as a precautionary measure."

Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Maybe not putting him in the Mania main event actually *WAS* a good idea.Yeah, putting him in a fucking ladder match was a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A ladder match where he didn't really take any of the stuntman bumps is better than taking 15 suplexes on his neck and being mauled by Brock for 20 minutes, tbh. The lariat Brock gave to Roman on the apron probably would've turned Bryan into dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lariat Brock gave to Roman on the apron probably would've turned Bryan into dust. It's not like Bryan & Lesnar couldn't work out a match that protected Bryan from serious injury. Bryan is a ring general, and Lesnar is a freak of nature than can adapt to anything in-ring. I don't think any of us would have complained if they went out there and just wrestled for 15 minutes instead of throwing bombs at each other. I know that's what we expect from a Lesnar match now, but the layout of the match could have (and would have) changed if Bryan was in Roman's place. I'm of the opinion that Bryan came back too soon, though. A few more months of rehab might have done Bryan wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
