Daniel Bryan Retires

[TradeDraft]

Steroids and other drugs are a big reason why there have been so many early deaths in wrestling history.

That also did not Help at all

Good riddance.

Have a similar point of view.

Didn't really see the big deal, can acknowledge his appeal to the masses to an extent. But for me he'll always be a B+ wrestler that got lucky thanks to CM Punk abandoning the company.

Which McMahon are you?

In a way he was the Dusty Rhodes of our generation. Obviously not as much natural charisma as Dusty, but he captured the hearts of the everyman. He didn't look like your typical wrestler/superstar but he had the fans behind him in a way that few others ever have.

I mean that's entirely wrong because people were fully behind him before Punk left.

WOOOOO

I mean in the context of the push he got at that point in time was because of CM Punk leaving

CM Punk doesn't walk out on WWE, Daniel Bryan doesn't get his WM XXX moment.

Good riddance.

Clearly you aren't a fan of wrestling or just started watching WWE and loves Roman Reigns.

My brother had the privilege of watching Bryan and Cesaro wrestle here in Perth in 2007.

Thank you for giving up your health for our entertainment and hope he makes some sporadic appearances like Edge and The Rock every now and then so people in the front office can see what an ovation for an over wrestler sounds like.

I am and I don't mind Bryan

Love it when posters psychoanalyse a few words in a post.

Thankfully he will still be on Total Divas so he isn't lost to us.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Total Divas is s**t.

He'll do a dorky WWE Network show soon enough.

Still less stumbling than a Roman Reigns promo.

I think that probably puts to rest any claims that it's a work. I mean he could be acting but that's pretty emotional in my opinion.

It's a massive loss for the WWE, and while I can see why he wouldn't appeal to some he was definitely a wrestler that appealed to me as a fan of technical wrestling (something that seems lost on the current WWE fan/market). I really wish the WWE had let him use more of his technical moveset rather than turning him into a bulked up little guy with a strike finisher.

I think its pretty unarguable even if you don't like him that this will hit the WWE hard, it single handedly leaves them bereft of a major face option for at least the next 6 months (if they manage to pull their act together that quickly) and in one day they've lost the most over/likeable guy on the roster.

Thanks for the great matches D-Bry, one of those rare moments where a little guy gets by the McMahons and shows it's not all about muscled up roid heads to us.

Also TD, I lol every time you refer to the "internet fans", mate, you post videos online with your opinions on wrestling, you ARE the definition of an internet fan.
