Byran to announce retirement tonight... just in time for WM
[Reply]

That's bullshit on the part of WWE. He wants to wrestle. He has gotten 2nd and 3rd opinions from other doctors who have said he is in Good health.

He had a new test right before the Royal Rumble in New York, because he was trying to get cleared for the Rumble/Mania season, the test was a more extensive one, and I think the results from that might have led to this, hopefully he explains it tonight.

Any chance of a work?

Dave Meltzer:
"I seriously doubt this is a swerve of any kind"
"Dr. Joseph Maroon was not going to clear him. It was an effective "no" for quite some time."
Sometime back, when he was wanting to wrestle again, (It would have been ROH & NJPW) two doctors cleared him (UCLA doc and Arizona Cardinals doc). Vince McMahon would not side against Maroon. Bryan asked for his release, Vince McMahon said no.
Thursday before Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan went to New York to have more tests done. Dave says Bryan will probably expand on that tonight.
"If you're really really smart, the testing methods they usually use for concussions ... the rest of your brain can compensate and create new pathways ... and it over-rides the bad areas ... essentially you can beat the typical tests."
The new test he had in New York is more thorough and checks all of the areas of the brain. "Danielson found out about (this test) and decided it was what he needed" It shows different levels of damage and how the brain heels.
The test was done the Thursday for the Rumble. He says that they'd need to do a test after a month and that the timing is odd. He got the results of the first test January 28th. There was going to be more testing done. "Maybe it scared him."
Dave thinks this is Bryan's decision, not WWE's.

Hopefully RAW doesn't suck tonight.

Jesus fucking Christ. Why are we doing this match again?
[Reply]

Owens needs more losses apparently.

Ryback... ok buddy... please don't injure Bray Wyatt, ok?
[Reply]

That was full of feels.

I may or may not have teared up at several points during that.

Mostly may.
