shyts too emotional for me man, almost tempted to break my boycott of the Bryan smiley over this.
One of the best to ever do it, seriously, I'll straight up fight any c*nt who tries to tell me otherwise.

Props to DAT BOI D BRY getting some closure. I wasn't all choked up or anything just cause I felt like he wouldn't be getting back in the ring after all those injuries and sabotage booking he went through. I just enjoyed his WM moment, and his initial rise when he won the Big Gold a couple years ago. It's been a joy watching him since ROH. Dude got over through ability and sheer will, and didn't have to be forced at all. Salute.

With that, I hope this lets the WWE know when they have clearly talented indy dudes on their radar, scoop them up instead of waiting eons to bring them in, so guys can have lengthy big time careers. Cesaro, AJ Styles, Nakamura, and several others should've already been in the WWE. Their careers will be coming to a close sooner than later, and all you had to do was not be petty and already have them in their younger years.

I wasn't able to keep watching ROH and most indys after he left. I've been less and less interested in WWE since he started having his injuries. Him retiring certainly makes it hard as fukk to keep watching for me unless some great angle happens out of the blue. It's probably the beginning of the end of my hardcore wrestling fandom :to:

Unless Cokeboy pulls me back in with Swagamura and Sami Zayn :sadcam:

I feel you on that. Punk leaving was the beginning of the end for me, but Bryan's retirement is probably going to be the death knell for my fandom. Too much going on in my life right now to devote time to an artform that I'm barely interested in at this point.

How many of those on stage should also be retired because of concussions? :patrice:

We'll be finding that out soon. What concerns me is the Mick Foley's, Taker's etc.. who took unprotected chairshots to the head for years, they might end up having similar issues with CTE like the NFL.

An Open #ThankYouDanielBryan Letter

Bryan, the news of your retirement today has reverberated through me unleashing a flood of memories and gratefulness.

Thank you, Bryan, for being in the main event of the first show I ever booked and making the name "Ring Of Honor" mean something that very night. You set the standard for the promotion and made my reputation as a booker in the early years. You did that quietly, humbly, and with class.

Thank you, Bryan, for getting on a plane in France and flying to Dayton and Chicago, doing two tough matches, and then getting right back on a plane to Europe. I know you didn't want to, but you did it unselfishly because we needed you.

Thank you, Bryan, for being there for me when we lost James Gibson after months of planning for him to be World Champion. You made the commitment to us then, because we needed someone to put the company on their back. You stayed modest, but you did it with a new attitude, stronger emotion, and unrivaled work ethic.

Thank you, Bryan for being there for Full Impact Pro when Homicide had to lose the Title due to an injury. You traveled the backroads of Florida and made it fun. You did it the right way, making the match where you finally lost the title to Roderick Strong one of the most emotional bouts I've seen.

Thank you, Bryan, for being there for me during one of the most difficult times of my life. When I felt alone and deserted, you called me and said "I wish we could start over." You spent hours talking about ideas for a new promotion. You called it "EVOLVE." No one was happier for you when you signed with WWE before you could wrestle for EVOLVE. The ideas you talked about are now seen in wrestlers like Timothy Thatcher, Drew Gulak, TJ Perkins, Tracy Williams, and Matt Riddle. You did it creatively, always with an eye on the future while being progressive.

Thank you, Bryan, for texting me "Thank you for everything" just hours before you won the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania XXX. That text made me realize that I had to call Paul Heyman to get me into the Superdome so I could witness it in person. I have the image of the fans going crazy while you held up the title forever in my memory. I had tears in my eyes. You did it while remaining humble and appreciative of your past.

Thank you, Bryan, for making my career, teaching me, being an example to everyone and for being the man. Thank you, sir
