Bryan going against medical orders by returning?

[wildchair]

I cannot see how Bryan is medically cleared to return. There was talk of Tommy John surgery, how the surgeries did not work, how he has lost all power in his shoulder and arm. etc. Suddenly, he says he is back and can work??

I do not buy it. I think he is putting himself at risk to return and is not 100%. I do not like it at all, it feels wrong. He looked visibly ill during RAW. Go watch it again, his face reveals his hidden illness that he is trying to hide. 

I do not want Bryan to drop dead in the ring. I have a very ill feeling that something bad is going to happen to him on the level of Owen Hart or the Chris Benoit tragedy. Just what the WWE does not need.

Can we wait and see before rush to conclusions?

[King Devitt]

I echo this sentiment though. Before he came back we were hearing that there were chances he may never wrestle again. You go from that to being "I'm back!"

So yeah, i thought the same thing, when I read Bryan was announcing his return the first thing in my head was "how?"

[Lance Uppercut]

Even if WWE were allowing for a cover up to bypass their medical tests, I doubt his Wife would allow this. Not to mention those E! cameras following them around. They could expose everything. Once again, looks like Total Divas has given us a lot of extra info about what's going on with this guy.

They could easily have just been telling us that, though. People thought he was retiring on Monday, and it was hyped as such, because of this news supposedly coming from WWE

How about taking it easy on all these threads about the conditions of wrestlers?

[Boo!]

If he's not fit to return he won't. The announcement could just be so someone can take him out again and get some heat-rub from it. Until he's actually back, who knows?

Did anyone watch his interview on the App/wwe.com where he said they went to another doctor who knew what the problem was, fixed it pretty much straight away and now he is healing and has been cleared to return?

The fact he's been away all this time tells me they wouldn't suddenly now go "oh well, f*** the doctors, you're in ring again". I believe him if he says he's safe to go.

[Sephiroth]

Reaching for the brass ring!

[TOK Hehe'd Around & Found Out]

Wrestlers and a wrestling company possibly working their fans? I don't believe it.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

But is he gassed?

[Boo!]

Anyone can find a doctor to tell them what they want to hear. I'm not saying that this is the case in this situation but if you're desperate on the sidelines and want to get back to work and fear that the prognoses given before makes the prospects of doing so look bleak then if you found a doc that says something different you'd jump at it.

Again not saying this necessarily applies but if you have 15 docs who tell you it's bad news and one who has a different opinion you'll go with that, even though his might be a minority, albeit qualified opinion.

You'd imagine the doctor(s) he went to first are experts in their field at treating wrestlers/sportsman injuries. The fact he needed to go beyond those trusted, first port of call consultants, does smack of "asking until you get the answer you want". I hope for his sake that this isn't the case.

But if his body is healing and getting better... maybe that one doctor is better than the 15 others?  Majority is not always correct.

Who knows, I dunno, he just does not seem a Mysterio-esque guy who does crazy stuff to have one more match then be off another year due to more injuries.  I trust his judgement.

[wildchair]

After how the WWE completely disregarded the health and welfare of CM Punk, I am worried Bryan is being told specific things to get him back in the ring when he really should take the time off and heal up right.

What I think happened is he was told recently that it would be at least another year or more if he got the treatment he really needed and he did not want to wait that amount of time, or the WWE did not want to wait. I think he chose to gamble and come back not at 100% because he does not want to lose his spot to people like Roman Reigns and other up and comers. I find this incredibly sad and I have no faith the WWE will protect him after the medical debacle that CM Punk went through.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Doctor Howser assured me that Daniel Bryan is cleared but has to be careful he may gas himself ten minutes into a match

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Just give Bryan some Z-paks, then send him to my house.

[Mid-Carder]

He was never injured, he's just been gassed this whole time

[KobashiChop]

This thread has lost all of its gains.

Wrestlers are notorious for bullshitting away injuries for the payday/push/spot. 

If the doctors WWE regularly sends its wrestlers to in order to get fixed were advising him one thing and treating his issues in a way that was satisfactory to them, the fact they/he wanted further opinions either suggest they don't rate the professionals they send wrestlers to that highly or that it was just a case of finding one who said what they wanted to hear.

I don't understand why the first set of doctors and professionals now have their prognosis/diagnosis dismissed.
