Daniel Bryan's European Tour Cut Short
So the rumor mills are spinning once again. This is nothing new for pro wrestling fans; we see it on a daily basis. Most of the time we just take it in as a collective, talk about it a little and then move on with the rest of our day.
But this time it's different because this time, the rumors concern the physical health of Daniel Bryan. And whenever that comes up, we do a lot more than just take it in.
Bryan is perhaps the most beloved worker WWE has seen since Ricky Steamboat. Like Ricky, Bryan has a good heart and fans are able to see past his gimmick to the real person behind it all. And they love what they see.
He's real; he's everything you would want in a best friend. He's got a heart of gold and a blue collar work ethic; he's the guy you want as the godfather of your kids. In a business full of phony people with their own agendas, Bryan is the genuine article and his motives are out there for the whole world to see.
He just wants to be a wrestler. He goes along with the storyline because that's what he's supposed to do. He cuts promos when he's asked and he outperforms in the spots he's given because he doesn't know any other way.
But at the end of the day, all he wants is to be between the ropes. And now those pesky rumor mills are spinning the "news" that he may be done.
Daniel was sent home from the European tour over this past weekend and depending on what you believe, he may or may not have a concussion. This is not good news for any WWE Superstar of course but in Bryan's case, it's especially unfortunate.
Fans know what happened to him last year. The injury he suffered not only forced him to surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it also arguably edged hm out of the main event picture for WrestleMania 31. Bryan was supposed to get back on track when returned, he was supposed to get a do-over because it was not his fault he went out.
At least that's the way fans saw it. The fact is WWE was going another way and suddenly it became more about Roman Reigns than it did Daniel Bryan. And whle he has looked tremendous in the ring since returning, he was always one move away from getting hurt again.
In that way, Bryan is like every other guy in the ring. But unlike many of them, one more rough night could perhaps spell the end of his career. And right now that's what some people are saying.
Never mind no one knows for sure what's happening with Bryan. Never mind it's all speculation and we have no idea whether or not WWE is working us by saying he's just beat up. Fans are currently pushing the panic button for Daniel and it's because no one wants to see this guy hurt.
That's how loved he is right now, that's how popular he is. In any other case, fans would surely be supportive of the talent in question, then get back to their every day lives. But in Bryan's case, this is front page news and fans all over the world are holding their breath and hoping for the best.
No one wants to see Bryan's careeer end early. And no one wants to go off the wrong inormation or a world of speculation to find out what's really happening with him. Fans deserve the truth no matter how hard it may be to hear.
Daniel has earned his place in WWE. He deserves to enjoy as many more years as he possibly can contributing to the company and to the fans. Of course his health is of the utmost importance and with any luck he will be just fine.
But until we know something, we don't know a thng.
