The following story sounds like it was made up, but according to Dave Meltzer in this week’s issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it really did happen. On the night of Monday, July 17, people from both WWE and Global Force Wrestling ended up in the same bar in Nashville, Tennessee. People from GFW had meetings in Nashville earlier in the day, while WWE was in the city that night for Raw at the Bridgestone Arena. Karen Jarrett, who works for GFW as an on-air personality running Impact Wrestling, approached Braun Strowman for an autograph since he is one of her son’s favorite wrestlers. Strowman, however, was rude to her. “I’m not sure what got into Strowman but he was rude and may have sworn at her,” Meltzer wrote. “The version I heard had it but that’s from someone far enough away that they didn’t hear the verbiage of what started it but was told he did, but everyone there saw what happened next.” Their encounter quickly turned into a scene as Karen went on a loud rant. While Karen was going off on Strowman, she said that she was going to tell her son’s father about this incident, and her son’s father is Kurt Angle. Strowman did an about face and said he’d give her an autograph. He then begged her not to tell Angle or anyone and said he was sorry. Karen then said she was telling Kurt. He said he’d get on his knees and beg her not to tell Kurt. She said she was still telling him. Strowman got on his knees in front of a bunch of WWE wrestlers and begged her not to. On Karen’s response to Strowman’s begging, Meltzer wrote, “She basically said something like now you’re acting like that because you found out that Kurt Angle is the father of her son, but even if he wasn’t, he should have never acted like that to a mother who asked for an autograph for her son, even if it was just another wrestling fan.” Strowman did say that’s true and he was sorry. “Of course, this story will be denied all week by everyone involved,” Meltzer added. I'm not saying this is bullshit. But....it sounds like that Ol' Bullshit.

So the only way for Kurt Angle's son to get an autograph of Braun is for Karen to ask?
Not buying it. Meltzer was fed a big helping of bullshit.

This is what was written in the Observer:
There was a story 7/17 when GFW had meetings in Nashville and WWE had Raw in the city and some GFW people and WWE people ended up at the same bar later that night. Karen Jarrett came up to Strowman. The belief is that Strowman had no idea who she was, even though it’s not like there are that many woman wrestling fans who look like her. Karen said to him that he was one of her son’s favorite wrestlers and asked for an autograph for her son. I’m not sure what got into Strowman but he was rude, and may have sworn at her (the version I heard had it but that’s from someone far enough away that they didn’t hear the verbiage of what started it but was told he did, but everyone there saw what happened next). It turned into a scene at the bar because Karen immediately cut a major loud promo on him for blowing her off. While she was going off on him, she said how she was going to tell her son’s father about this incident, and her son’s father is Kurt Angle. Strowman did an about face, said he’d sign the autograph and begged her not to tell Kurt or anyone and said he was so sorry. She said she was telling Kurt. He said he’d get on his knees and beg her not to tell Kurt. She said she was still telling him. He did get on his knees in front of a lot of wrestlers from WWE and begged her not to, and she basically said something like now you’re acting like that because you found out that Kurt Angle is the father of her son, but even if he wasn’t, he should have never acted like that to a mother who asked for an autograph for her son, even if it was just another wrestling fan. He did say that’s true and he was sorry. Of course this story will be denied all week by everyone involved

Ah, who gives a f***? The idea that this huge dude got on his knees because he was terrified at the idea of getting heat with a veteran is hilarious to me so I'm gonna pretend it's true even it isn't.

I'm pretty sure that if Kurt and Karen's boy wanted Braun's autograph that he could come to the show with Kurt and meet him and get it personally.

As long as he doesn't ask Kurt for a "title shot" he'll be ok.

It sounds like Braun started ribbing her in kayfabe. The getting down on your knees is so over the top, what else could it be?
