Daniel Bryan out. A work or legit?

[Jim]

Anyone see RAW Monday night?  DB relinquished the IC title (a perfect opp for Neville to become something) due to medical issues.  Though he never said specifically what those issues are, one has to wonder if this is another Shawn Michaels "I lost my smile" bit or if there is a legit injury concern that'll keep him out of the ring for good.

Think it's legit- lingering neck issues

Legit. WWE dodged a bullet not putting all their chips behind the fragile Daniel Bryan again.

I think I'm leaning that way too.  I don't know that I could see him swerving so many of the fans with a "spectacular return" toward a championship run...kinda like the idea of Cena doing a CHT.  Too much good will invested to throw it all away.  I know his neck has been a huge concern and maybe he & Brie have decided if they ever wanna start a family, he needs to be around to see his kids.

Probably the best decision for him as a person.

Appears to be legit.

You know, I really hate comments like this. I wish you would step up and strap up. Go through some damn training, go do a some local indy shows. See just how "easy" it is to get ahead in this business.

He was just coming off a pretty serious injury, but the Bryan fans went crazy wanting him to win the Rumble and take down Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. He rushed back, won the IC Championship, only to get hurt again.

What if Bryan and WWE had waited until after the Royal Rumble to bring him back? Let him fully heal and get a fresh start. Instead, Bryan's appearance threw everything off and most of the storylines have felt out of place ever since. A lot of momentum other stars were build went to Bryan.

I liked watching DB. But his fans drove me crazy. They believed he should be pushed like The Rock and Stone Cold every PPV and every Match.

I am a Daniel Bryan mark and my beef is with a stiff working Sheamus who has hurt almost every person he has worked with since returning.

...They kept the news hush-hush, and Bryan teased it out a bit in the ring, but it didn't feel exploitative. It felt, well, real. Maybe WWE learned something from E:60 after all — tell us the truth, and worry about the story lines later.

totally legit IMHO   and working with stiff opposition is what gives good workers nightmares  I listen and watch wrestlers shooting on Youtube and it is really interesting and scary to hear how they were hurt   most injuries seem to be caused by the other guy not being able to work well with others
