Botched Spot

I’d like to go on record stating that, in my opinion, the diving headbutt is one of the dumbest moves in pro wrestling. Even worse than the worm. And the reason why is that while silly moves like the worm (or People’s Elbow, or Five Knuckle Shuffle) may be a lot of unnecessary buildup for a very weak attack, at least it doesn’t hurt the attacker. With the diving headbutt, not only does it look like it doesn’t hurt the opponent, but it seems like it hurts the attacker far worse. It just seems backwards to me. If Bryan’s forced to remove it from his arsenal, I say it’s all for the best. And as an added bonus, we won’t have to hear JBL yell “it’s a flying goat!” over and over and over again.
