Daniel Bryan May Train Through An Obstacle Course Race

Daniel Bryan May Train Through An Obstacle Course Race

By Rob Sutter


I believe that Daniel Bryan has the opportunity that all other wrestling stars would kill for at SummerSlam. Going up against WWE Champion John Cena for the title, it's the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often for most individuals. As a result, it's probably a given that Bryan is going to work harder so that the approaching bout will be one not to miss. Is it possible for an obstacle course race to serve as the best form of training an athlete can imagine?

There are many words that can be linked to Bryan's wrestling style but quick is one of the words that come to mind first. He's strong for a 5'9'' athlete but this isn't where he thrives. You would have a much better chance of seeing Bryan leap from the turnbuckle than ever watch him press another athlete over his head as if they were a barbell. Bryan's work has revolved around the fact that he moves quickly and I feel as though this is for the best.

It's clear that Bryan has enjoyed much success so far but this did not come without adversity. Even when you watch him in the ring, he always sells the point that he's the underdog in any given situation. This is especially true when he is struck with a big move and he shows the effects of it, adding a sense of realism to a show that many have deemed less than genuine. However, Bryan puts forth the best effort no matter how worn he looks and the same can be tied to this sort of race.

I think that Bryan can work very well in an obstacle course race if he's willing to incorporate the element of effort into it. Think about just how competitive he can truly be, no matter who he is in the ring with. It doesn't matter how popular a person is or how large they are in comparison to himself; he is going to work to the greatest of his ability and then some. It's the kind of mindset that deserves to be correlated to events like Spartan Race, too.

As you can probably imagine, I am completely in a favor of an obstacle course race of this caliber being done for the sake of training. Bryan is going into the biggest title match of his career and it's apparent that he's going to have to work twice as hard in order to ensure a victory. He's a hard worker in the ring, so it's a safe bet that he will be able to bring his A-game. It's just a matter of whether or not said A-game is going to allow him to seize the WWE Championship.
