- He argued that most modern wrestlers no longer learn to bridge properly, increasing the risk of top-of-the-head impacts.
- Regal referenced Mitsuharu Misawa’s death as an earlier warning and urged performers to stop such spots to protect life after wrestling.
- He noted that close colleagues, including Bryan Danielson, deal with daily neck pain, highlighting long-term consequences.
