So, I kept hearing whispers, you know, bits and pieces floating around online about Bryan Danielson being hurt again. You see that kinda stuff all the time with wrestlers, bumps and bruises are part of the job, right? But this time felt a bit different, more buzz maybe.
Decided I needed to figure out what was actually going on. Fired up the old computer, went to my usual search engine. My first try was super basic, just typed in bryan danielson injury. Got a whole mess of results, naturally. Some were old news, talking about his neck or concussions from way back.
Digging Deeper
Okay, needed to narrow it down. I remembered seeing something about that big AEW x NJPW show, Forbidden Door. Maybe it happened there? So, I tried searching again, something like bryan danielson forbidden door injury. That seemed to hit the mark better.
Started clicking through some of the news bits. Lots of chatter about his match with Okada. Man, what a match that was supposed to be. Then I saw the specifics: reports saying he broke his forearm. Ouch. Apparently, it happened like ten minutes before the match even ended. Guy finished the match with a broken arm. That’s just nuts.
Getting the Details Straight
Alright, so, broken arm, happened against Okada. Now I wanted to know how long he’d be out. Found more articles, some quoting reports or maybe Danielson himself talking about it later. The initial talk was something like surgery needed, maybe out for a good chunk of time.
- Saw mentions of surgery specifically for the forearm fracture.
- Read estimates, timelines were kinda fuzzy at first, maybe a couple of months? Seemed serious.
- Realized this would mess up AEW’s plans, especially with Blood & Guts coming up back then.
It’s always tough seeing guys like Danielson get sidelined. He came back from what seemed like a career-ender before, with the concussion stuff. Just shows you how tough these athletes are, but also how risky it is. You just hope for a smooth recovery, you know? Seeing him wrestle is always a treat.
So yeah, that was my little dive into the situation. Started with some vague online talk and ended up piecing together the story of the broken arm from the Okada match. Crazy business, this wrestling stuff.
