I like him. There's something refreshing about him, he's not too bad in the ring at this stage and I find him entertaining. I even think his hair is ok (though in saying that my hair ain't the best)
Please don't be Succotash fodder and just give him a good run for a long while

I mean, his character is that he's a force of nature. That's exactly not a character. That's a metaphor.

Next step should probably be going over Mark Henry or Big Show.

I haven't watched in months other than catching Survivor Series with a friend but I really liked what I saw of him there. I've got a soft spot for characters like Braun so I'm glad to hear he's coming into his own. As a dude who happens to be a giant, I always pull for the Luke Harpers, Brauns, and other hosses of the world.

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 agree. It's rare for me to enjoy one of the huge big guys but I do enjoy him. He plays his part almost perfectly and it helps too he looks the part. I think they have done a good job in the fact that he doesn't perform all these fancy moves too because he's so big and strong that even simple moves are killer. The only thing i always fear in situations like this is one...they book him so strong and so over whelming that it seems almost impossible for anyone to credibly beat him and logically he should be in the title picture or champion. Or two, they will eventually start booking him like the big show and have him losing to far inferior opponents. You have to find a middle ground...especially long term.. and it's hard to do...but so far they have done a good job. I always thought they blew it badly with big show because for his size he was freakishly good and agile..especially when he was younger...and he should have been a bigger deal if not for the bad booking. I hope they don't make the same mistakes with braun.

Been a fan of Braun even before he became a meme online. Next time, people, let's not judge someone by their appearance and write him off as a talentless hoss. WWE been booking him great post Draft but most were too busy complaining about Raw to notice. Strowman is going to be a future WWE world or Universal champion. Bet on it. And his showdown with Roman is going to shock people in how great it will be. Like how Taker vs Bastista stole the show at Wrestlemania even though that once a very hated matchup when announced.

I'd throw in Roman Vs. Brock at 'Mania 31, as well. People crapped all over the match until it actually happened, and it ended up being one of the two or three actual good matches Brock has had since his return.

I also hated he was there to serve Vinces big guys fetish. Like dude is practically literally the only hoss in the WWE that didn't wrestle in The Attitude Era and big guys usually draw so of course he was going to get pushed and protected because he has potential to money. Who were the hosses before him. Rusev, Big E, and Ryback who are short stocky dudes who would of been considered smaller big men 20 years ago. They did a good job protecting him, not giving him to much of a major push that causes people to detract from him, and highlighting his strengths so far while he continues to improve on the road. It's a true tested formula but super heavyweight hosses are likely to draw and Strowman is the lone big men in the era with the smallest roster size ever.

He's OK. That last segment with him where attacked RR and Seth pretty much sucked, though. It was meant to shock people but instead it felt as if during the AE, Austin and HBK would have been attacked by Henry Goodwin.

Well I did like him, but he seems to be getting popular amongst internet fans now, so I guess I can say he is overrated and probably be giving a comedic dancing gimmick by Summerslam.
