3. Daniel Bryan: The No Lock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSLIV17DIGY I have followed Daniel Bryan since he first appeared in the industry and he is up there with the greatest technicians in history. His timing, execution and persona leaks through everything he does, and I am so thankful he is no longer a 2 dimensional character. He is a wrestling machine and the obvious likeness to Benoit and the Dynamite Kid are the highest praise you could give such a performer. This is why I am so thankful he hasnt sold out by starting to use more traditional wrestling moves, but is using a technical wrestling submission hold and one that instantly appears painful and gives a sense of nostalgia. Much like Benoit before him, there are instant similarities between the No Lock and The Crossface, and the reaction the audience gives the No Lock is creeping up to the same as Benoits submission. Given the time and the space to develop into an integral star in the company, this could be the most feared submission hold around today. Shame about the name though.
