Reposted on: 20.3.25 2120.14 | OMG, that was an all time amazing segment. Kevin and Sami are the perfect foils for a returning Daniel Bryan. It was a bit of a bumpy road getting to this point, but we are here and Bryan isn’t changing his goddamn style for anybody and I love him for it and I fear for him because of it. This match has to headline WrestleMania, nothing will be able to follow this kind of emotional ride. It’s moments like this that make being a stupid wrestling fan worth it.

I disagree. Bryan was definitely taking the bumps off his dropkicks more safely, landing on his shoulder instead of his back and his head. He's still v. dynamic in there, but, from the extremely limited amount of stuff we saw last night, he looked like he was taking a little more care of himself. Plus, Sami and Kevin looked absolutely terrified of doing any actual harm to him - rewatch the segment and see how careful they are about the shots they give him. Owens' superkick had a ton of daylight on it. I figure that all of Bryan's opponents will be taking it easy on him for a while.
Also, yeah, this is awesome, Daniel Bryan is back and he's fighting Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, and it's great. And, uh, I guess Shane will be there too, but you can't win them all.

Seemed like he tried to twist in the air and land on his side, even his hands and feet. it worked until the last one. He landed on his side and head there.
Doesn't mean anything probably. It might also be because he wasn't in his gear he decided to land differently.
But wow..that was a rush. The guy has it.
And for the record, not even directly DB related. I LOVED how KO and Sami were all "we weren't gonna be here but then we heard about you so we sped over here just to see you!"

I'd hope he'd take beatdowns from safe workers then make the Hulk Hogan comeback or work slower technical Japanese style puro (sans the hard strikes to the head) | ekedolphin
