#2.) Daniel Bryan – Running Knee
KENTA, fka Hideo Itami in WWE is a far more influential wrestler than people realize. Many look at his WWE run and don’t think much of him, but many years prior to joining, American wrestlers were looking at him from afar and admiring and adopting parts of his arsenal. As you know, CM Punk famously adapted the “GTS” from Kenta, but he isn’t the only former WWE Champion to do so.
Daniel Bryan inculcated the running knee into his arsenal from Kenta as well and has used it as a finisher in WWE. It’s also one of the most protected finishers in WWE today, with only rare superstars like Roman Reigns and Kofi Kingston being the ones to kick out of it.
