I thought the whole point of this CTE hysteria was that brain injury is both cumulative and permanent.

If, instead, even the worst concussions can show absolutely no permanent damage with a little relaxation and some oxygen, that throws the whole thing out the window, doesn't it? That's a huge win for Vince, and maybe that's his angle here. Daniel Bryan as the face of... not the WWE, but the face of "brain injury is no big deal."

To be fair, the doctors themselves don't sound the greatest that cleared Bryan:

Cantu is a respected doctor in the concussion field, but many believe hes been compromised by a complex web of relationships with the NFL, among others. Crdenas has also worked for the NFL. Kutcher was Michigan footballs neurologist in 2014 when Shane Morris was allowed to return to the game with a concussion. Maroon, formerly a member of the NFLs Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, once claimed chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, was rare, and declared football safe.
