*insert HHH shovel dance gif here*
Honestly I feel he should have been even more of a dick about it but that's just me.

I know it's been literally two days, but can we PLEASE have AJ Styles new theme released already?!
All I have is the DMX version they sampled from so far...ugh.
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Kellach Woods - 02-09-2016
So,
Daniel Bryan officially retired.
Discuss.
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Warren Castille - 02-09-2016
I'm legitimately surprised, given the reports that he'd been cleared from three other non-WWE doctors. I haven't watched RAW yet, though. Did he go into any actual detail or was it just a tearful goodbye segment?
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Steel Wolf - 02-09-2016
Just watched the recording of Raw. Damn good sendoff. And the matches were pretty solid overall as well.
I never really followed wrestling terribly closely when Bryan was a bigger name, so his departure is hardly what I'd call emotional. Still, the way they did it and the hometown crowd was lovely.

Essentially, he went and passed the impact exam of the UFC, and they pretty much confirmed that since he's exceptionally smart, his brain was making connections to overcome the already impacted areas allowing him to pass the regular impact tests easily, hiding the long-term effects that are sure to happen with the sheer amount of concussions he's had.
Apparently that shocked him into accepting his career was done.
Maroon's still a scumbag, but he surprisingly made the right call.

And we're now talking about POST-CONCUSSION SEIZURES for quite a long time according to him, he's been keeping them as hidden as possible.

The logic is sound.
I was wondering what the fuck WWE was doing by pushing the smaller underdog guy, who is an amazing technician and billed as such, who uses both a diving headbutt AND an arm/neck-based submission finisher.
Did they learn fucking nothing from Benoit?

Obviously not. Maybe someone should forward the crime scene photos to Vince as a reminder, maybe then they'll put a few more controls.
Of course this sport is only as good as its training and things can happen regardless. But making some moves to protect their talent would be helpful to be sure.
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Warren Castille - 02-10-2016
It's good to see him making that decision, though. I wonder if he's going to stick around and work behind the scenes or something; He's practically required to, right? He can stay on in a non-wrestling role.
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Kellach Woods - 02-10-2016
At this point I think he wants to go into philantropy and start a family.
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Warren Castille - 02-10-2016
I just caught the ESPN thing. He got cleared by other doctors while he was hiding seizures as a result of his injuries. And he got cleared anyway! It's insane that that was possible, let alone that he would conceal it and keep trying to wrestle anyway.
That's someone who loves the business, to an unhealthy degree. He's either sticking around forever, or he's cutting loose and never, ever looking back.

BRAND SPLIT COMING. Also talk about wrestling you jerks
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Steel Wolf - 05-25-2016
Thank GOODNESS SmackDown is doing its own thing instead of being a second Raw. I haven't watched SmackDown in months as a result of the roster. I wonder what they might do with the Thursday time slot, though, if anything... NXT maybe?
Hey, can we talk about Charlotte for a second? Did anyone else think that was the single best heel move in the history of the Women's Division?
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Warren Castille - 05-25-2016
It boggles my mind why she'd suddenly take up with Dana Brook, who is absolutely awful and shouldn't have been called up over, say, Bayley. I like Charlotte, though, and it's refreshing to see the 'E moving away from ass models as their champions and instead going with legit ass kickers instead.
I'd unironically wear the women's belt because I think it looks better than the men's.
RE: THE WRESTLING THREAD OOOH YEAH - Steel Wolf - 05-25-2016
The belt does look great, and that's even considering the removal of the "Diva" label.
Charlotte seems strong enough to carry Dana Brook, in my opinion. I just am curious which face in the women's roster could rise up to make a compelling rivalry. I think the familial ties thing is played out, both face and heel-side.
