Daniel Bryan Has Neck Surgery *Update Page 9*

poor guy

We're never going to have something good, are we?

I really feel bad for Bryan. Ever since he won the title, he's been on a rollercoaster ride, and it feels like more lows than highs. I just hope this isn't the start of Edge-level issues, and I hope he'll recover quickly.

Should just have him forfeit the title and win it back when he comes back next month, the world won't end.

It can't be that great an idea to have even minor neck surgery then work a PPV match 17 days later. That's the kind of thing that turns what could have been a minor problem into something serious.

Maybe quit it with guys doing double duty so often, the same happened with Benoit, Matt Hardy and John Morrison.

Then that would be a THIRD short reign on his record. Surely they can just cancel the match or have him work but take no bumps. Just let him light Kane up with kicks and let the match be a no-contest

Problem is that they don't want to use their full roster. Even if they did let Bryan rest they would just use whatever TV Time that would've gone to Bryan to pile a bigger workload on the remaining upper tier guys.

This is why I said they should have kept the belt on him initially. He was hot and healthy. Putting it off like they did was risky, and as it turns out he's injured and we were stolen yet another reign from him. All we have to show for it outside of Wrestlemania 30, is a completely abhorrent feud with Kane.

What a waste.

I have the perfect way to write him off

It could been a lot worst. At less it not the neck fusion that several had in the late 99 into the early 00s that keep them out a year. It sucks that he has too go through it and I hope the best in recovery where he comes back in time. If all well he may not have too vacate the title.

[The Peoples Elbow]

This is just horrible. I hope he makes a quick, full recovery.

[Jiren]

IF he has to Vacate it, I'd rather he drop it to Bray Wyatt or Wyatt wins a Tournament and we get "The Summer Of Wyatt" and Bryan wins it back when he returns.

ANYTHING but Cena (I just wish he'd f*** off for a while), Orton, Batista.

[berlynwright]

hope he gets well soon

[mizerable]

So chances they'll still vacate the title?

All depends on the surgery I'd imagine. I think that is why they have the stuff with Kane happen, laid the possibility out there without taking action one way or the other. Surgery goes well, Kane intimidates Steph into keeping the title on Bryan so he can be the one to take them. Surgery goes bad, they have added reasoning with the beating and the Brie stuff for Steph to take them without Bryan looking bad by just handing them over.

If they did, I know the appreciation thread that will be made and by whom.


I wish Bryan a speedy recovery.

[Diamond Cutter Out of Nowhere!]

Whatever they do with the title, I hope Bryan takes the time to let this heal. I know he's been waiting his whole life to be champion, but it's better to take the time and come back completely healthy rather than risk cutting your career short just to get back in a couple of weeks.

[paywindah]

The latest hotline from PWInsider just posted tonight says they think he'll be out 6-8 weeks and that as long as there are no complications with the surgery, he'll stay champion and likely return at SummerSlam.

[RIHT]

If this is real, WWE should really use it to add to his character, like he's a bad ass or something.

Are we sure this is even true yet?

I mean the link right below the story is "Kaley stunned Everyone with These Pics!"

Did we ever find out what about Kaley's pics stunned everyone?

I wonder if WWE is going to be more hesitant in the future to get behind high mileage indy guys after Punk burned out and Bryan's been so banged up. I hope they don't draw that connection, because those are always my favorites (well and Christian).

They should just stop pushing these top guys to the max all the time. Cena always worries me because he's pushing himself too much at all times and wearing his body down. The WWE really needs to look into focusing on their full roster more, so they can rest the top guys more.

See, it feels like WWE pushes only a few guys at a time, then uses them like crazy. The Shield's been everywhere in practically every match for the past month or so, yet Cesaro wasn't even on Raw this past Monday. It doesn't help when WWE repeats matches over and over on Raw and Smackdown either. Shaking things up would help talent and the viewers.
