Clearly, they had no fear of robbing a person who emulates violence for a living, or the repercussions that could have occurred if they ran into said person, since they tried.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">What&#8217;s funny to me is that Daniel Bryan&#8217;s first instinct to do upon catching the crook, was a wrestling maneuver. Sure, he does it for a living, but in the land of reality, a physical strike of some sort would be my first instinct. When I chased off the two thugs that broke into my house while I was home, I ran at them with a metal baseball bat, and thoughts of putting them into a LaBell Lock with it were the last thing in my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Regardless, DB takes the guy down and puts him in a rear-naked choke until the cops arrive.

It&#8217;s so arrogant and self-championing that I can&#8217;t help but love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;m not sure if this overtakes <a href=\"http:\/\/totfc.net\/?p=6084\">Chris Masters&#8217; uprooting of a tree to use as a battering ram <\/a>to rescue his mother from a burning home. Actually, it doesn&#8217;t, because nothing is more entertaining than Chris Masters uprooting an entire tree to use as a battering ram to rescue his mother from a burning home.
