No chatter about Daniel's Bryan's injury, eh?
The timing of it is absolutely horrible, and I fear that it could be the end of the reckless guy we see in the ring. I mean, his wrestling at neck break speed is probably why he has that injury in the first place - doing that flying headbutt off the top rope and that missile dropkick (imagine falling five feet on your back every time you do that) probably contributed mightily to him getting this injury - and when he comes back, I wouldn't be surprised if he has to tone it down a bit, which could kill his momentum, as his style in the ring is largely why he is so over with fans. He's a pretty average talker, so his promos had nothing to do with him getting as over as he is. Should be interesting to see what happens. If he is back in a few weeks, then okay, but if he's out for close to two months or longer, then I'd start worrying big time.
Honestly, it makes CM Punk's decision to leave the business when he did look that much smarter. His body took a beating for years, too, although he didn't throw himself around quite as much as Bryan does, and assuming the stories about him having saved his money well are true, he's probably thinking he doesn't need it anymore.
