5 Legends that inspired other WWE Superstars

#4 Daniel Bryan takes a leaft out of Chris Benoit’s book

The unspoken tribute

Chris Benoit has become quite a taboo name when it comes to the world of professional wrestling. The tragic actions that took place leading up the the double murder suicide means that Benoit’s name will be forever crossed out of the WWE.

While his name may not be spoken, his legacy as a wrestler certainly did live on through Daniel Bryan.

It’s easy to see that a lot of Daniel Bryan’s moves mirror that of Benoit. Most notably Daniel’s diving headbutt and his yes lock (crippler crossface) are what people remember Benoit for.

Benoit must have obviously been a superstar that Daniel looked up to when starting out in the business.
