Reckless and stupid on the part of both Bryan and the WWE to clear him.

From what I read he met with the 3 best neurologists in the country and not only did they clear him they went to bat for him with the WWE saying there was no reason he can't wrestle.

So apparently there is a lot of evidence that he should be allowed to wrestle.

With the post-concussive symptoms he suffered and the inability to test for CTE in living people, it's highly likely he's only going to further damage himself, and the brain does not have the plasticity to repair itself at his age.

Sure, let's argue against all the neurologists who cleared him. It's not like they're experts or anything. Doctor Google knows much more.

Pretty good show last night

They weren't independent neurologists and the therapy he's received has no demonstrable efficacy.

If he's determined to scramble his brains, Vince wants to make sure he's the one cashing in on it.

Would lol if it were all a work and Sami+KO "broke" him again.

From cageside seats: When the news broke that Daniel Bryan was finally cleared to return to in-ring action, the story was met with universal joy across the pro wrestling community. After the euphoria of the surprise announcement wore off a little, the next question on everyone's mind was Bryan’s health moving forward.

To their credit, the WWE is taking every precaution in handling the comeback of Bryan. Thanks to a special agreement in his deal, Bryan will see the most extensive post-match testing a pro wrestler has every gotten under WWE’s watch.

In a new report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required and recommended) a key condition to WWE allowing Bryan to return to the ring is extra medical evaluations.

“The only difference between him and every other wrestler on the roster is that part of his agreement when getting WWE to send him to leading neurologists of Maroon’s choosing to get evaluated, is that he agreed, after every match, until WWE was comfortable that he was okay, he would go to the WWE doctors backstage and get Impact testing and a neuropsychological evaluation done.”

From now until he hangs up his boots for good, anytime Daniel Bryan gets physical in a wrestling ring people will harken back to the two years of medical testing that sidelined him

I wish he'd leave when his contract is up and go to New Japan...would love to see him in a G1. He could work a style similar to ZSJ.

Yea Meltzer said with him being cleared the odds of him leaving are really slim.

Yeah I just know $$ isn't a motivating factor and he's specifically talked about wanting to be in a G1 and also work CMLL so I hold out hope...

I just don't think they're going to push him super hard in the WWE...esp. with them wanting to coronate Roman and with Bryan's history.

With the split roster Roman and Bryan being pushed doesn't even have to have anything to do with each other..

There are numerous dream matches sitting on the Smackdown roster for him.

WWE will give him anything he wants to keep him out of NJPW and ROH, if only to spite them.

Exclusive: Doctor Who Cleared WWE's Daniel Bryan For Wrestling Return Says He Shows No Evidence of Prior Brain Injury
By Tufayel Ahmed On 3/23/18 at 12:19 PM

The unlikely comeback story of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) favorite Daniel Bryan shook the grappling world this week. Two years after emotionally announcing his retirement from the ring, WWE said Tuesday the former world heavyweight champion, real name Bryan Danielson, has been cleared to compete again. Like his underdog character on WWE shows Raw and SmackDown Live, the real-life Danielson has seemingly overcome insurmountable odds. Upon retiring in February 2016, Danielson told ESPN he had suffered at least 10 documented concussions during his 16-year career and had even experienced post-concussion seizures “that I hid for a long time.”

But three top neurological doctors, and WWE’s own medical director Dr. Joseph Maroon, have given the veteran grappler the all-clear.

WWE said in a statement Tuesday that Danielson, 36, underwent “extensive evaluations” during his two years of retirement. “[Danielson] underwent a full review of his medical history and received comprehensive neurological and physical evaluations independent of WWE.”

One of the doctors that greenlit Danielson for an in-ring return is no stranger to dealing with athletes. Neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Cantu is a leading expert in concussions who consults with teams across the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Hockey League (NHL). He also has his own concussion treatment center at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts.

Cantu tells Newsweek that upon evaluation of Danielson’s medical records in February, he found no sign of concussion-related injuries precluding the wrestler from returning to the ring.

“I evaluated Bryan for a neurological opinion on return to WWE on February 26, 2018. Included in his medical records were multiple evaluations by renowned concussion clinicians,” says Cantu by email.

“I determined that Bryan is currently asymptomatic, has a normal detailed neurological and cognitive neuropsychological examination, normal EEG, and an MRI that showed no definite evidence of a prior brain injury. It is my medical opinion that there is no absolute contraindication to his return to in-ring action in WWE."

Cantu is also one of the foremost experts in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease that has been found in athletes and army veterans who are at risk of repeat head trauma. Currently, the most definitive diagnosis of CTE is during an autopsy of the brain after death. However, symptoms of CTE can be diagnosed in the living, including depression, aggressive behavior and dementia.

In 2007, Cantu was one of three neurological experts who diagnosed what is said to be the first case of CTE in professional wrestling in Chris Benoit.
