...as well as every other wrestler, as well as being himself in an all-time classic match because that's what Bryan Danielson does.

It was during the commercial break of his first classic encounter with Hangman Page that Bryan unlocked this particularly cruel bit of sh*thousery to fill time with the crowd and kill the commercial break as the AEW World Heavyweight Champion bled out on the arena floor.

Flipping fans off when they asked for a Yes chant to do some p*ss funny muscle poses instead, Danielson lapped up the heat that came his way and amplified it further by cupping his ear in the style of 'The Hulkster'.

Picture-in-picture isn't always the easiest way to remain involved with the action when watching from home, but Bryan's pantomiming and posing made for captivating viewing. This was a long way removed from chinlocks, and as the action returned to normal, so too did the violent technical maestro in his pursuit for the gold.
