10 Parallels In Daniel Bryan And Chris Benoit's Careers

10. Triple H

Given that it's Wrestlemania season, we all remember that at Wrestlemania XXX, it was Triple H who Daniel Bryan first needed to defeat in order to reach the triple threat main event at Wrestlemania. If you think about ten years prior at Wrestlemania XX, it's not the first time that Triple H was in that role with a top-tier technical wrestler. At Wrestlemania XX, it was Triple H who tapped out to Chris Benoit's Crippler Crossface as Benoit won the WWE Championship. A decade later, Triple H tapped out to the very similarly applied "Yes Lock." An amazing little piece of historical happenstance to consider, right?
