Braun is F***ing Awesome

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I love this guy more and more each week. Dude's a legit Hoss. For a guy who has only wrestled so many TV Matches and basically only had his career start this year, the guy has caught on very early and man he is a treat to watch.

He's fun on the mic and he's just amazing at imposing his frankly freakish size and strongman strength. I guess those Vince proverbs about Strowman turned out to be somewhat correct, because I really thing the dude is awesome, and it's really nice to see the Running Powerslam as a legit finisher again.

If the dude wins a belt or even the Rumble, no complaints here, when Kane and Show finally retire, I'm really cool with Strowman and Harper respectively filling the shoes in terms of really awesome Big Men.

In conclusion... BRRRRRAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

I'm Ric and I agree.

There's a lot I like about Braun, but his push does nothing for me at all. While I enjoy his often goofy segments and stuff, nothing about his presentation at all feels like an actual monster rather than someone they keep telling us is a world-beater when all he really does is swat flies most of the time, even when he does mow down names like tonight or when he was with the Wyatts it feels phony, and the guy can't get a reaction to save his life it seems like.

Granted I think I'd be a lot more on board with it if they booked him better and provided an actual reason to care. And a better likely opponent than Reigns.

[percymania]

Big guy who obliterates everything is a tried and true formula. I like his promo voice. Very old school.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

He's got a good act, yeah. He genuinely carries himself like a monster and the booking has done a great job reinforcing that.

Braun's improved a lot with this single's run. Sure, we joke about his hidden powers all the time but he's showing more each and every week. He knows his character, he's wrestling like a legit monster and he's badass. Anything he's in I'm entertained and given this is a wrestling show, that's the entire point. I heavily approve.

The fact he just picked Roman Reigns up and dumped him like he was a small child is all they need to do to sell me, dudes a legit strong man who was in those competitions in the same vain as Mark Henry, like lifting Atlas Stones of 500 pounds or more over his head strong, and it shows in the ring.

I think he gets a good reaction and will continue to as he moves up, I can just say I'm sold on the guy, there are dudes who are big but they aren't strong and they need to be hard selled to you. Strowman looks like a monster, and really reminds me of someone along the same vain as Vader, and again, he is JUST starting. If he keeps at it at this pace, the sky is the limit for the dude I feel.

Also, this shows how important character work is since I'm more entertained by this big, green guy on a weekly basis than any of the Cruserweights.

[Perd]

Yep, but after tonight he's got a future of Suoerman punches and spears ahead of him.

Well, spears... yeah, but just not Superman Punches, if you know what I mean.

Naahh...To me he is Yawn Strowman.

Big scary beardy man? Meh.

Braun is a key rookie for WWE, he's the reborn Big Show that people aren't bored to death with yet. Strowman also seems to have faster moves and a bigger repertoire already compared to Show and Mark Henry.

Monster heels with heat (Kane when he was the WHC on Smackdown) are glorious

[captainhindsite]

But do you think cena could lift him?

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

Eh.

I don't really care about Grr! Intense! wrestlers, because there's never anything more to them than that. There is nothing more to Strowman than that. Dude's got no character.

[Dave the Dave]

Not everyone can suplex a tree

[Yacht Persona]

He's a throwback to old school monsters and I love it. Him wrecking everything was my favorite part of Raw.

[chazraps]

I mean, his character is that he's a force of nature.

Big Show could be reasoned with. Kane, maniacal as he was, had a demonic logic to him.

Braun is just remorseless demolition. However, the way he carries himself makes this a really compelling element of the show. He's playing it perfectly, it's got legs.

[madness50]

You can count me as a fan of Braun's as well. He has an intimidating presence that is very rare on the current roster and he can cut a surprisingly solid promo. He has improved big time since he debuted and I think he can a big time player in WWE for a while.

[Kevin Hamilton]

He's the type of big, RARRR guy that just screams 'Rassler'.

You need a guy like that, that would fit right in if it was still the 1985 as it's just a fixture of the business that works.

Braun is a rassler. Good on him.

This x100000.

He still can't wrestle. Kane and Show can. Does he have potential? Sure, but they rushed up to the main roster for some reason.

He is probably ahead of those guys at this point in his career, but if you can't have a good match, all this is for not.

I was at a live event where the crowd was chanting "boring" at him.
