Concussions are no longer being taken lightly. New studies are being done everyday that uncover the long lasting detrimental effects. Christopher Nowinski, former WWE wrestler, author, and founder of Concussion Legacy Foundation, has dedicated his time to finding out more about the injury, after sustaining his own career ending concussion. The possibility of serious and permanent repercussions has led to a delicate handling of these cases, and such is the case with Daniel Bryan's reinstatement into active in-ring duty.
Bryan has taken his medical case to the hands of physicians outside of the WWE to seek clearance, most recently doctors at UCLA. Daniel Bryan was given full medical clearance by these doctors. Expecting to be granted the same clearance by the WWE, Bryan was greeted with no new resolution.
Although Daniel Bryan has been training very hard to be ready for his potential return, he was instead forced to try and plead his case to the chairman of the WWE: Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Mr. McMahon subsequently offered Bryan other employment opportunities within the company. No
word yet whether Bryan will accept any of those offers, but he is still under contract with the WWE.
Fans have eagerly awaited his return, speculating, scouring the internet rumors for a hint of hope. The chants are heard in every arena, the apparel worn by many a-fan, but eventually those will dwindle away as the yes movement seems to be no more. As of February 8th, Bryan announced his retirement as a wrestler.
This is a harsh reality that the three time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, former World Heavyweight Champion, United States Champion, Intercontinental Champion, and Tag Team Champion has wrestled his last match ... At least in the WWE that is.
