Daniel Bryan announces retirement, effective immediately
 

:(

A shame but kinda expected after this long

He's actually gone Edge on us already, he cut his hair and beard down. So he kinda looks like 2010 Bryan with a bit a hairier beard.

Raw's in Seattle so it's probably a good idea to have it at the end of the show

Not me thinking this was about Dan from BB5

nnn same

Another big star gone.

He looks great again now. They wouldn't let him out of his contract to wrestle elsewhere. He's basically been forced into retirement.

Mark Henry retirement or actual retirement?

I would imagine he was in a long term contract. Because he can't wrestle the contract will have been paused for a better term. They won't let him out of it to get cleared and wrestle the indies because he will be a huge draw. They also won't let him back in a WWE ring because it's too much of a risk.

**** it though I hope we're being super trolled and it's a huge swerve.

Sadly it was real. :(

The final hour of Raw had the lowest rating of the night. Which was Bryan's farewell. Cut back to 2 hours for the love of God.

Haven't followed WWE for years now but this picture made me sad :(

The speech was in the last hour and pratically in the overrun segment

They seriously need to, I mean SD is on USA.

You have no idea how much I want to see the Brand Split return.

Yes I thought something was Wrong
as he had not been on TV for a year or so.

Tough Little Fella,
He Worked so Hard
using his Head alot

So in an interview with ESPN, Bryan revealed the actual extent of his concussions symptoms.

He was having seizures because of concussions, some believe that in this match last year, was an example of that. Meltzer said that he did not suffer a concussion in this match.

Speaking of that, I wouldn't mind them banning headbutts. (Or at least Diving since all the people that use it all the time are either dead or severely injured.)
