... than Daniel Bryan adopting that ridiculous headbutt gimmick? What the fuck was he thinking?
He did something similar during his ROH Title run in 2006 with his matches against Nigel McGuinness, but that was still before Benoit and what we've come to learn how severe head trauma and undiagnosed concussions can be. Not to mention Bryan wasn't coming off a SERIOUS FUCKING NECK INJURY.
And the sad part is, it adds absolutely NOTHING to the match or story. Literally, it doesn't make a match any better or worse, and it won't even get a big pop from the crowd. I would even argue constant headbutts in the manner in which Bryan throws them (aka legitimately and not a work) is far more dangerous than an unprotected chair shot.
Man I love Bryan, such a kind soul and a truly good man. Great wrestler, too. But he needs to reevaluate how he approaches his matches. He can find a way to have great matches without putting himself in serious harm. Look at Punk and Jericho. Perfect examples. The riskiest thing Jericho does is the Lionsault, but at least when he hits it correctly, it doesn't cause any harm to himself or his opponent.
But yeah, name a dumber act in recent memory. If you can I'll be shocked.
