Daniel Bryan ‏@WWEDanielBryan 12m12 minutes ago

Due to medical reasons, effective immediately, I am announcing my retirement. Tonight on Raw, I'll have a chance to elaborate. #gratitude

This might be me being a skeptic but i smell a rat.

If this is true. IMHO. Headliner of the 2017 HOF Class

Yes, this could be a WWE Creative move. Have a heel attack him and then have him make a comeback.

We'll see.

It's a wrestling retirement. So, he'll be wrestling in Japan or ROH in about 90 days.

I don't think so Because he was so beloved. But everyone has their own opinion

Does the WWE HOF even have ballots or does Vince just say....hey, put these guys in.

It's who Vince wants, no ballot or anything.

what? WWE hangs signs up around the arena to remind talent to use a hashtag thanking Bryan?

WWE always looking for a reason to be in the positive spotlight and be all over social media.

I saw the opening segment Stephanie came out and was in heel mode....I wouldn't be surprised if during Bryan's retirement she and the authority come out and thank him or something like that, completely breaking kayfab all on one show. it's been done before recently with this group.

All I know is I'm pissed, we had tickets for tonight's show but had to sell them because my wives family bought up great wolf lodge tickets.

Damn shame. I had always figured he'd go back to ROH and work some other Indys if WWE never cleared him (he had been cleared by several other docs) but based on his speech tonight, it sounds like he's done for good. Whatever report he got last week convinced him it just wasn't worth it

I always PVR It. Right Now it's on Pause because I need to regain my composure. I'm a emotional man and i feel that i start it i'll break down and bawl my eyes out.

He is one of a dying breed

If I knew in August that wrestling would have been coming to Seattle on this date. I would have said "Fuck the Canucks game. This is what i want"

It was weird, shortly after the Everett "Seattle" Raw, they announced Raw was going to Seattle for Raw, tickets went up for sale, we bought them then they got taken down as though the event wasn't happening. That whole set up with WWE.com not confirming was weird

I Dare people not to cry or get emotional reading the following things.

These are what broke me

Never watched anything he did outside of WWE but seems his non WWE work has rivaled the respect Flair got...a shame Punk never got to receive a public send off the same way.

I'm not an overally emotional man and I felt the same way. As Brian said, you could shut your eyes and feel the energey and emotion of that crowd. Anyone that isn't moved by that is just dead inside!

I will freely and openningly admit I had more than a few tears in my eyes during Brian's speach especially when he was talking about his late father and his family in the crowd last night.
