6 Ups And Downs For Last Night's WWE Raw (March 2nd)
2. Please Stop Killing Yourself For Nothing
That had to be the reaction of numerous fans watching Daniel Bryan get thrown around the ring during his match with Luke Harper. Yes, wrestling is part making people believe you really are being hurt when you actually are taking bumps as safely as possible, but Bryan landing right on his neck is generally not a good idea when you were out for more than half a year with a neck injury. Bryan is likely going to be included in the Intercontinental Championship ladder match (more on that in a minute), so any hope of him being a top guy is probably misplaced at this point. And not that being in the main event is a reason to do so, but taking risky bumps for a midcard multi-man feud is not worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPNSLEB8jsY Sure, its tough to slow down your style when youve always been full speed ahead, but do yourself (and your fans) a favor and dial it down a bit. Wed like to enjoy your matches for a few more years, and thats tough to do if youre back on the shelf permanently.
