10 Reasons Why Daniel Bryan's Wrestling Style Cost Him His Career

7. Top Rope Grapple Moves

There wasn't too many moves we didn't see Daniel Bryan attempt moves off the top rope while his opponent was up there with him. We saw him hitting Hurricanranas, Megapexes, Superplexes, and even death defying German Suplexes - all moves liable to cause concussions by either jolting Dan's body and moving his brain, or significantly bump his head on landing. He might have entertained us week after week, but as this article highlights, Bryan should have taken less risks during his time in the ring. Would he have been as over with the mainstream audience if he took a lot of the high risk stuff out of his playbook? Probably, but it's a difficult dilemma for any performer to contemplate in the moment.
