Coming from the guy that thought Bastion Booger was a good idea. No worries though, the monsters always end up being fed to the top guy--we'll just have to see if it's Cena or Reigns.

Seriously speaking if Strowman legitimately can wrestle a really good match and he has a good look, what's so wrong with pushing him? They really could use some more top heels.

You don't try to sell a movie by putting the boring stuff in the trailer. It could be the greatest movie of all time... your opening night would still suck.

The thing that really bugs me about this is the fact that, from what I've seen, Braun Strowman looks like a guy who has barely been able to handle clotheslines and scoop slams. I'm not knocking his abilities, but he hasn't even had a full year of what has amounted to on the job training.
Also, is there really any merit of "saving" these mythical abilities of his? Unless he's capable of doing frankensteiners and moonsaults and top rope planchas, I don't understand what the freaking deal is with this. Plus, there's no mystique to Braun; they have had him work matches and we've seen what he's capable of, and not much. And on top of that, you want him to work a match against Undertaker. At his age and limitations, you want a guy who's younger and capable of directing the action, not completely dependent on guidance to not look like an idiot.
Now, somebody on this thread complained about being the only Strowman fan, and here's the thing; I'm not knocking the guy for sucking in the ring. I loved the Great Khali, and he couldn't do much of anything. Not everyone is going to be a Dean Malenko, but it's all about priority and having some green as green can get guy who got his training in world's strongest man competitions be in a prominent match and ask him to deliver hurts everybody.

Braun "Hidden Power" Strowman might indeed not face Taker, not right now at least. Taker's saved himself some time.

If that guy with that voice and size could legitimately wrestle a really good match, he'd already be main event. I haven't seen anything from him that suggests he can work a good singles match. He messes up punches even.

I reckon Taker refusing him is a real thing. Taker and Lesnar are tight, and Lesnar was visibly pissed at how much he sucked during the Rumble

Oh my god. The future is f***ing bleak.
