Daniel Bryan, other pro wrestling news
This pro wrestling column is a new weekly addition to the 无毛视频-Standard, and before we get into some news, let me tell you a little bit about the column.
As someone who began training for my own pro wrestling career in the late-1990无毛视频檚, I started writing a weekly column in 1999 and I am excited to bring it to the 无毛视频-Standard.
Each week, I will look at the big topics to bring you up to date in the pro wrestling world.
There will be news on the WWE, features on independent talent on the local wrestling scene, question-and-answer columns, and so much more.
One week this column may feature legends from yesteryear like Bruno Sammartino or local legends like Ken 无毛视频淟ord Zoltan无毛视频� Jugan, but I will not use this forum to give away terminology and other aspects of the business that are meant to be kept a secret so that you, the fans, can enjoy pro wrestling whether with the WWE, the independent level, or anywhere in between.
We will look at storylines, injuries, make predictions, and try to make this column as interactive as possible.
If you have questions or comments, email them to me at powerhousehughes@gmail.com.
But enough about what the column is going to feature, so let无毛视频檚 get to some big news that is nothing short of unfortunate.
Daniel Bryan forced to retire
This past Monday afternoon, Daniel Bryan announced his immediate retirement as an in-ring professional wrestler on Twitter due to concussion issues and later that night on Raw, he gave a moving and emotional retirement speech in front of his hometown fans in Seattle, WA.
The announcement came as a surprise to some but not to others.
Bryan had been cleared by multiple doctors, but the WWE medical staff would not release Bryan.
He flew to New York City two weeks ago for more tests and the results led to Bryan calling it a career.
He has had several documented concussions, and who knows how many more that did not go detected.
Bryan无毛视频檚 story is well known as being a star on the independent circuit under his real name of Bryan Danielson before being signed by the WWE.
Always thought to be too small, Bryan overcame his 5-foot-8, 180-pound size to win multiple heavyweight titles in the WWE.
Bryan无毛视频檚 popularity cannot be questioned and some experts say that the only wrestlers more popular in their respective primes were Hulk Hogan in the 1980无毛视频檚 and Stone Cold Steve Austin during the Attitude Era.
He had his WrestleMania moment at Mania XXX in 2014 as he closed out the show as the new face of the WWE.
It is just unfortunate that his title win and celebration are overshadowed by Brock Lesnar无毛视频檚 shocking win over the Undertaker earlier that night.
More on Bryan next week.
WWE suspends wrestler
In what was a surprising announcement Tuesday night, the WWE suspended Titus O无毛视频橬eil for unprofessional conduct.
He apparently playfully grabbed Vince McMahon at the end of the Daniel Bryan Tribute on the WWE Network that aired live after Raw ended.
The incident has been edited out of all video packages, and O无毛视频橬eil was originally suspended for 90 days with the suspension being trimmed down to 60 days.
