So basically, the WWE doctor was right all along, and either Bryan was lying about how many people were willing to sign him off, chose those people
very wisely, or the doctors that did sign him off need to go back to university to learn all about whatever it was the WWE doctor could see all along,
that they missed.
I'm glad WWE stuck to their guns on this one, as whilst I think Benoit was a one off, Bryan sometimes seems to have that similar vibe to him -
remember that for the longest time, everyone had nothing but good stuff to say about Benoit too.
So whats next? I think I'd like him to open his own wrestling school like Lance Storm has. Not everything in wrestling should begin and end at
the performance centre...
I have six invites I can crash out for membership to pwtorrents.net - if you want one, U2U me!

As extremely disappointed as we all are, after today's brain lesion/seizure revelation, I think we can all agree that none of us want to see him
take another bump ever again.
It's a shame, though. Just bad luck sometimes. I mean, look how long Triple H, Big Show, Kane, The Dudleys, etc. have been able to have long
ass careers. And then look at Chris Nowinski, Corey Graves and now Daniel Bryan. Sometimes life is just not fair at all. Bryan will always be one
of wrestlings greatest "what ifs," if only he was able to stay healthy for a ten year span.
I would hope that the company was paying VERY close attention (even though we know they weren't). Listen to the damn fans, and build main
eventers that way. How many guys can get entire arenas to chant for him like that? Reigns damn sure can't. Not even Brock can. Ambrose might
someday if they build him right.
I would love to see him on TV regularly again. I wonder how good he would be in a broadcaster role? Or if they ever brought back the GM positions,
he'd be the perfect babyface one. But if he's happy just starting a family with Brie and doing his own thing? Well that's ok too.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

I'm sure there are tons of factors at play here, from the varying amounts of risk each of these performers were willing to take, to just being
more predisposed to this sort of cranial trauma... Although I'm sure if Triple H, Big Show, Kane, The Dudleys, etc. went and had the same bit of
extensive testing that Bryan did, they wouldn't exactly be passing with flying colors either. The damage is there, granted maybe not to the same
degree as Bryan's, but there is no way any of those guys are in mint condition. The Dudley's, for instance, HAVE to have some pretty
advanced damage just from the career that they've had. God I hate thinking about all of this, but I guess it's just grim curiosity...
What'd be interesting (and extremely BALLSY) if WWE were to have the entire roster undergo that examination... I can't help but worry how
many people might be on the same path :\
Seriously, I can't imagine how you monsters enjoy the foosballs and the MMAs and the boxy punchies and whatnot now knowing the toll that it
takes on these people when I'm having a severe guilt trip over being a wrasslin' fan. For shame! A pox on all of you! A pox I
say!
Doom and gloom aside, I hope that whatever it is that Bryan is experiencing with these seizures is treatable. He deserves a long happy retirement with
his hot wife. I'm with Gobshite, even though I mentioned earlier/elsewhere that I'd like to see him work with Regal at the Performance
Center, but the idea of him opening up his own wrestling school makes too much sense and I'd like to see that happen. But no top rope headbutts
on the curriculum, PLEASE.
