Ya know. Vince is only getting older. This kinda scenarios only gonna get worse and more prevalent.
Hope Taker vetoes it. If he even can.

My problem is more with how the booking makes no sense than anything. It benefits no one and even if it turns out he's absolutely awesome, it's completely stupid making him look like some generic, ordinary goon who has no business getting any sort of SPOTLIGHT!! just to swerve people.

Would anyone want the following:
Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman at Wrestlemania 32?
Goldberg dominates, spears, sets up for the jackhammer, BUT, Strowman is too heavy for a 50+ year old Goldberg, Strowman puts him in the sleeper finisher and Goldberg passes out.
So we get:
1. A New Star. Strowman goes over strong against Goldberg. He is finally made. And not against a full-timer.
2. Goldberg finally gets his match. His son sees him as he always wanted. McMahon backs up the $$$ for Goldberg to job clean.
3. Goldberg is NEVER seen again until his Hall of Fame induction. So we never have to hear about Goldberg rumors again.
Sign me up at least!

This is asinine thinking. The guy could be Lou Thesz reincarnated but no one is going to pay money to see that because of how he's being presented. As far as the audience goes, he's either a lumbering ox or, for the 'net readers, a lumbering ox that's only pretending to be a lumbering ox. It's like trying to sell the original Lord of the Rings movies with trailers that feature *nothing* but walking scenes. No swordfights, no arrows, no smart-alec quips, no music, no demon beasts, just...walking.

I mean,this would work if Braun would only have brief interactions,or just punches,etc. but he had full interactions and matches

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. Eric Rowan is NOT a dumb ross. Good Ol JR takes offense to this

I just love the whole idea of stealth ring general Braun Strowman.

I just like the statement, "PWInsider.com is reporting that Strowman is improving..." I just imagine the ordeal Mike Johnson went through by calling additional sources to verify that inside info before he was willing to publish it.

You know, I wouldn't even mind as much if he just had a better name. Especially with him being in a gimmick like the Wyatts. Im just never going to hear that name and not think of some parody bodybuilder in a Nickelodeon cartoon or something.

Seems I'm the only Braun Strowman fan in this board I'm at least reserving judgement. I like that he's something different and has potential to be a bona-fide monster character, something WWE is lacking besides the ones that never went away from the 90s. I dig Luke Harper too but he's 6'5" and does super kicks and suicide dives, he's not a monster. There's room for both of them.

I like Braun Strowman. I am an unabashed fan of the Wyatts in general. I think he has potential to show character and cut effective promos in that bass voice.
I did, however, legitimately giggle when he first removed his sheep mask and revealed that unexpected babyish face. Like Bobby Lashley, he is a massively physically intimidating man who cannot muster a Scary Face. Perhaps some sort of permanent mask?
Regardless, I fervently hope that the rumours that Strowman is some sort of giant Dean Malenko-esque mat technician in disguise are true.

No swordfights, no arrows, no smart-alec quips, no music, no demon beasts, just...walking. I disagree with that just based on the fact that if they're doing it for Wrestlemania, your concern shouldn't be getting people to pay to see him. The tickets are sold, the subs are sold. Nothing really is going to move that meter anyway. Meanwhile, if he DOES put on a show for Wrestlemania, then the focus turns to Summerslam. So hypothetically, it's not nearly as crazy.

Logically, we not just give him the ARMBAR at Wrestlemania, make that trophy actually be credible and then, build him through a singles title.
Have him win the US title and give suckas a "united states open challenge".
Him burying Cena would be nice. Eventually there is going to be a Cena vs. Strowman match. Maybe Wrestlemania 33?
