This was a crazy risk from Cody. Why did he do this at Fyter Fest?

I feel that concussion risks are well known at this point.

As the AEW fans were chanting for five more minutes in the strong Cody-Darby match, Shawn Spears appeared. Despite no previous heat between the two wrestlers, Spears attacked Cody Rhodes. But the attack was something that we hadn’t seen in a long time in pro wrestling. We had an unprotected chair shot to the head.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

As we have learned about CTE and concussions, chair shots to the head have gone extinct in mainstream wrestling. I understand it was a mainstream move in pro wrestling in the 1990s but with the learned health risks it has simply gone away.

There is simply no reason to put Cody Rhodes’ health on the line for any angle in 2019. It certainly was so surprising to see All Elite Wrestling to attempt to try this sort of dangerous risk.
