Braun Strowman Update

[Deleted]

Earlier this week multiple reports confirmed that Braun Strowman is being discussed in WWE for a major role at WrestleMania 32, potentially against The Undertaker or Brock Lesnar. These reports were met with mostly backlash from the IWC, as most fans have not been keen on rumored plans for the Wyatt Family member.

PWInsider.com is reporting that Strowman is improving, and it’s mostly evident when he works out. According to multiple PWInsider sources, Strowman is a lot better than what we’ve seen on WWE TV and he can do a lot more in the ring than what we’ve seen from him so far. Apparently Strowman’s in-ring skills are being saved for a bigger stage, likely WrestleMania.

We’ve noted in the past how Vince McMahon sees Braun as one of his personal “projects”, and wants to push him as a top guy in WWE. Everything we see from Strowman comes straight from Vince McMahon, down to how he’s been presented, to the way he works, the way he picks opponents up, the way he stumbles around and sometimes takes bumps. These are all reportedly “edicts” from Vince McMahon.

So if they are going to go all out and make a new star, I guess it makes sense at Summerslam. Maybe Brock regains the title down the road, and we get Brock Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Give Strowman the first pin fall victory over Brock and a star is born forever.

The mid card can be a mix of Reigns, Ambrose, Rollins, Orton, Cena, Styles, Owens as a combination of the 3 matches for the IC or US titles.

Goddamn it. Here I was having a decent morning, and then this thread reminds me that the Wyatt family exists.

From what I've seen, Braun is a big dumb hoss like the rest of them sans Harper. Absolutely no interest in him being at 'Mania this year, especially against that pile of dust known as the Undertaker.

Yes let's push the most untalented of the Wyatts and not you know the leader of said Wyatts..... Bray is never getting the title is he?...

[cool]

Ugh. This guy has no redeeming value, no talent, Just push the most talented one, Harper.

You say that like it's a bad thing

[keezy]

Remember the last one of Vince's projects was Ryback? Now Vince probably forgets he's employed.

It seems with these big guys they try to blow their load with them too quickly.

Wrestle zone is a weak source

Eric Rowan is NOT a dumb ross.

Story is 100% lifted from PWInsider.

"They just don't want to blow your mind with his elite wrestling skills. I heard he can do a shooting star press slam and a Zangief-ian level spinning piledriver that is so awesome that Vince is unbanning piledrivers."

...

Or something like that.

[Dub H]

Can't wait come wrestlemania for Braun Stowman to pull a Pele Kick,following it up by throwing the guy in the air,and grabbing then in the air for a samoa drop


He will later do the 619 and the starship pain too.

[audiencewatching]

Theres nothing wrong with giants, they have a place as a spectacle and a rare match. However they don't have technically sound mat classics.

At this point you need the Bryans, AJs, Harts, HBKs, HHHs, Rocks, Austins, Jerichos, Angle caliber of wrestler to help Taker deliver a once in a year marquee match

I just imagine that Vince has a wall calendar in his office from 1986 that he just keeps reusing every year.

"Paul, this Braun Strowman is gonna take this company into the 1990s and lead us into the new millennium!"

[Deleted]

Bullshit. Vince thought Reigns was ready for the title last year too and he thought fans would like Orton vs Batista at WM for the belt. Finally we saw how this guy was at the Rumble. He's clumsy as f***.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I guess these mythical things Braun Strowman can do are being kept a secret on house shows too.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Even if Strowman does have all this "workrate" squirrelled away for WrestleMania, it just seems counter-productive to do such a thing.

Instead of garnering resentment and bitterness for MONTHS for possibly being put in that spot, he should be showing us these talents, showing us that he IS good and showing us that, while he may not probably deserve it more than others, getting the feature match won't necessarily lead to a mid-'90s monster of the month-esque struggle sandwich.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Why not push Harper? Big guy who CAN work. Compared to someone we never seen do anything work but the claim is "Saving" his ablities.

[StuntGranny®]

Vince Jr. is so out of touch it's pathetic. He wouldn't know a star if he looked through a f***ing telescope.

Let's look at The Shield and The Wyatt Family. Now I will admit I loathe both factions, but it's not hard to see that Vince Jr. looked at both groups and has picked the shittiest guys to push to the moon.

He's a Rick Ross.

I honestly thought he tried to drink snake venom again after reading the thread title
