How many five-star matches did we miss out on when Daniel Bryan was forced to announce his retirement? With the recent influx of talent into WWE from NXT what great feuds will we never see in the biggest wrestling company in the world? Owens, Zayn, Balor the list goes on and on.

Daniel Bryan’s battles against the concussions that ended his career have been well documented. Few people have fought that hard to try and avoid having to hang on their boots. Yet, when all was said and done, it wasn’t to be. Bryan’s passion for professional wrestling couldn’t be stronger, but sometimes your body says no.

So we will never get those five-star matches, and we’ll never see those feuds. The most popular star of this generation went out with a pop rather than a bang. However, it’s worth noting that even if Bryan never gets to wrestle again, his impact on WWE is undeniable. Owens, Zayn, Balor and co, well they might not be there if he hadn’t paved the way.
