WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote a blog entry at his official website discussing the Bryan Danielson retirement at JrsBarBQ.com. On how WWE protects their talent, Ross wrote, "Don't know of another wresting company that protects their athletes as thoroughly as WWE does their talents. Thank goodness that WWE did do all the extensive testing on Bryan's injury and that they did not bend to the pressures of the talent or his fans to return hm to the ring. If DB had been wrestling for another company, any company, would he have received the care that he needed to determine the actual severity of the concussion issue? In the proverbial, 'good old days' the concussion issue would have been largely ignored and the talent would have been returned to the ring as quickly as possible. At the end of the day, Daniel Bryan is blessed to be wrestling in today's marketplace and specifically for WWE where he has received amazing, medical care from a battery of specialists who certainly don't work cheap but who likely have intervened to help ensure that the athlete who overcame numerous odds to become a star in WWE can live a productive life as a husband, father and son."
Gabe Sapolsky posted an open letter to Bryan Danielson at the Heyman Hustle website at this link. Danielson was very much the most important talent Sapolsky ever worked with as a booker and it's obvious how thankful he was for everything he did for Sapolsky in ROH and DGUSA. Thanks to Steven Fernandes.
