If that's the case, it could be Daniel himself who's holding up the works, no? If the above poster is correct, we're waiting for WWE to make a decision that's already been made.
They're still paying Danny, right? Maybe he realizes he's got it good right now in terms of the amount of money he banks each week (which is surely more than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes) and all he has to do is show up on TV once in a while and do his 'Yes!' chant to thrill the audience.
Perhaps he's already been told his ring career in WWE is finished.......that there will be no 'clearance' and he's free to either leave things the way they are......or he can get out of his contract and go wherever he wants ......maybe to a place that doesn't give a flying damn whether he suffers a career-threatening injury or not, as long as they get a few sell-out crowds for their investment.
Or.....and this is the big one.....maybe he's waiting until the end of his WWE contract so he can leave and work somewhere else......even while he's leaking word to the fans that he wants to wrestle in WWE now.....even though he doesn't.
Get it? Maybe he already knows the answer is no.....and has long since stopped trying to convince WWE to change their minds and let him wrestle .......but wants us to believe otherwise.
Just saying maybe.
I really don't think Daniel Bryan is like that, nothing he has ever done shows him to be that kind of person. If anything it's the opposite. According to reports he's one of the nicest guys in the locker room, a real team player.
Listen I don't get this almost animosity towards him, he really hasn't done anything wrong here other than go out and do his job, the same way Cena, Orton and others have. I'm not a fan of the way he wrestles to be honest, but he's a good wrestler, one of the best everyone says and that's all he wants to do. So why is he being crapped on for just wanting to do what he's being paid to do.
If fans are pissed with him because they see him as holding back others, then get mad at the people who put him in that position, the WWE. They helped to create this underdog persona, and when fans bought into it they tried to ignore it, but ended up they couldn't.
I can see why people got behind him, he's not your stereo typical wrestler, not big, not cut like others are, and he's kind of gnomish, but he can go in the ring, and people can see themselves in him. In other words they can relate. He appeals to a broad section of the fan base, hardcore, casual, men, women and kids. He puts asses in the seats and sell a lot of merchandise, just like you know a John Cena does.
The WWE is keeping him out of the ring for reasons only known to them. They've allowed Ziggler, Dreamer and countless others to wrestle, all who have a history of concussions, they don't seem to care about them, only Daniel Bryan. So there has to be a another reason that they're not saying. If a guy like Randy Orton can dislocate his shoulder just by picking up a trash bag, and they're allowing him to come back, they really don't have a leg to stand on.
Just release Bryan and be done with it. He'll go to another company and make them lots of money. There is only one reason the WWE won't do that either. If Bryan does leave and turns out to be okay, the backlash from his supporters will make the Royal Rumble look tame. The WWE wants to have their cake and eat it as well, keep him on the roster, push their guys, and hope fans will forget about Bryan. That will only last so long because once his contract expires and he doesn't re-sign, we'll find out the what the real story is.
