Yucko. No more headbutts. But more importantly, they better not rush him back. That would be absolutely terrible. they don't have a lot of time between now and the Rumble And? The plans for a fake fighting TV show aren't worth the mental and physical health of a human being.

Didn't Del Rio get a concussion recently in a match with Hunicara? I think it was a sunset flip while Del Rio was on the second rope and his head hit hard.

They could just have him literally sit out Raw and SmackDown and house shows next week. Would that work, depending on how bad this might be?

i hate this concussion Era The old school thing is for Bryan to show everyone what a manly man he is by toughing it out and ending up with permanent neurological damage that ends his career by 2015. HE'S HARDCORE! HE'S HARDCORE! But seriously, a person's health is way more important than some wrestling match.

You're right--assuming Daniel Bryan is selfish~! Whatever happened to sacrificing for the WWE Universe? Seriously, though--you can still keep somebody involved in things while they're recovering from a concussion without putting them in danger.

Dudes who slam each other into canvases tend to get concussions, that's not tied to any era, so I have to assume what you mean by "this concussion era" is the increased level of concussion awareness that's leading to wrestlers taking time off after one. And there's no perspective other than instant gratification that can see this attitude as anything but a good thing.

I don't think there is anything you can do other than pray and eat your vitamins. Concussions are things where it can span from out for a week to out for 3+ months with nothing you can really do to control it other than rest.

I've never liked flying headbutts anyway. They just look like one of those moves that hurt you just as much, if not worse. It's not like he'll have a shortage of moves if he drops it.

the missile dropkick would be a better set up for the running knee anyway. His opponent gets flattened and rolls away to struggle to his feet while Bryan kips up and gets ready to charge what's the quickest anyone has ever come back from a concussion anyway? Pro football players have left a game with a concussion and played the next week, if I'm correct that's fairly common. I don't know if the protocol is the same, but it's probably similar. It's certainly a possibility Bryan will be legitimately cleared by the Rumble. I just hope they don't rush it and "clear" him for the Rumble. Maybe he could be the guy to come out at #30 to an empty ring and win without lifting a finger. It would be heelish for some people, but with Bryan it would just be a huge celebration with the crowd. It'd be cool in the sense that "finally, he got a lucky break" after his character going through hell for so long.

As long as it's not a severe concussion and he rests and takes care of his head he'll probably be fine for the Rumble. It just depends on the severity of it and how quickly his body recovers. Some people are fine within a few days and others take weeks. I'd guess that he'll be fine for the Rumble, assuming that he doesn't have a history of concussions of course, as the more you have the easier it is to get them in the future.

Just when the E throws us a bone this happens, apparently God doesn't appreciate workratez....
But seriously I hope this is nothing The WWE made me eat my words Monday night when Bryan ended the night being more over than ever really hope this clears up soon since it looks like they have big plans for him.

After all, Bret Hart still showed up on TV to cut promos in 1997 even with an injured knee. Aww, had to invoke Bret Hart in a discussion about how to handle a concussion. If he had got himself checked out rather than have a bunch of matches he might have kept going. #stillsad

On some thinking on it, if the plan is for Bryan to win the Rumble but he's unable to compete, I can think of two good ways to handle it that'd both kind of end up in the same place.
First one - think I mentioned it earlier, but show Bryan choosing his number and getting a late one only for him to get attacked offscreen by the Wyatt Family. Bray enters the Rumble early, is in for a long time, and is eventually eliminated, then he comes back in in Bryan's spot and wins it. Cue the board or Vince or something declaring Bryan gets a shot at Elimination Chamber to earn the title shot.
Second - Bryan is number thirty, but isn't out yet and it's down to Punk and Bray. The two simultaneously eliminate each other, then Bryan comes out and is declared the winner. In response to this Triple H makes it so that Bryan has to defend the title shot against Bray at Elimination Chamber, and when Punk doesn't get the same it furthers him being pissed at Triple H and wanting his head.

There's two whole weeks before the Rumble, and I'm not sure that Bryan took a hard enough hit to leave him out for weeks. THey can always just have him give a promo on the go home Raw next week to pump up the crowd.

It probably has to be pre-taped in his home because if he's still out with a concussion, they aren't going to let him travel.

Cut the guy some slack
