Will Braun get a Bram deal and he’ll sign another extension in 3 months?

It's like when people complained to animal about thaw ascension saying that they were better than the road warriors. His response was it's pro wrestling the point is to promote yourself... what are they going to say we're better than the Mulkeys? And hell Braun is in the argument for best big guy in the company as he is by far the most over. I'd not say he is the most talented there my opinion on that is still Harper but still you can argue for Braun Exactly. What he is saying is not so far outside the realm you can't believe it and even then why would he not consider himself the best or one of the best. If nobody else believes in you, you have to believe in yourself “I’m the best big man in the business besides WALTER, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley. I’m also the hardest working guy besides Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Those guys have me beat in that department. I’d like to think I’ll be WWE Champion but you know... Brock is better than me in literally every way. And then there’s AJ Styles, Ricochet and Finn Balor. I’m just happy to be here really.” Okay, now I want Braun Strowman to have a humble extremely self aware gimmick.

I'm pretty ok I guess I mean... there's a lot of wrestlers on the roster not to mention the world...

I'm just here to point out him quoting Cardi B. I want a video of Braun singing Cardi B songs.

Man I don't see what the big deal is about Strowman saying he's great and the best big man in the business while promoting his company. That's what he feels so he wears that, that's what you're supposed to do, it's not a big deal. If you disagree you disagree. This isn't even anything close to those anti-fan comments that Rollins had months ago. Like, this is a guy that's just speaking his mind. Ain't that what yall wanted? Didn't yall say you wanted someone speaking like this without trashing fans? I think some people are so blinded by their hate of Vince right now that anybody who stays with the company without saying "F*** Vince and everything about him, I'm just here to take his money and put it towards causes the old man would hate!", or possibly anybody who stays period, is going to get shit on by some (not most, but some who'd be VERY vocal about it) fans. The same sort of fan who would say that by me even saying this, that I must be performing some disgusting sexual act on Vince.

Good. Good for him. At some point recently, they showed highlights of his cage match with Show and I was like “God Damn he was a beast before...”
But yeah. Good. Happy for him. Best option. Dudes one of the few that can appear larger than life these days.

I know I am sponsored by PizzaHut, but the pizza there is only ok. That said, Pizza Hut hits the spot when you want something relatively cheap and filling. They got a buy one get one free deal here for a large pizza for around ten bucks, and one of the free pizza choices is garlic cheese, and that one's real nice. Like a large hot garlic bread.

Braun had been dealing with a ton of nagging injuries so I hope he's over them, four more years will basically be the remainder of his prime career. I really hope he gets a title run and gets built back up as a legitimate threat as well, because the last year was awful for him

Nice to see he doubled down on Seth's asininely aggressive pro-WWE tweeting and delusional self promotion. Like... okay pal. You aren't even the best big man in your own company. Big Show could roll in tomorrow and have a better match than you. Rowan has been fire since teaming with Bryan. NXT UK has WALTER. Drew McIntyre can work circles around you. So yeah, if you're working that's one thing, but the fact that his Twitter handle is his real name tells me he's sincere. Just shut the f*** up, clown. This company just threw a ton of money at Jinder Mahal to stick around. I dont think getting a new deal is indicitive of how you're "the best" and "hardest working" anything. It means you sell some shirts, do everything your daddy tells you, and mostly, he just doest want Cody to have you. Dude... he is a pro wrestler. They are supposed to say they are the best. What do you want him to say “here is to 4 years of me being the okay-est big man in a promotion that is in a downtime!”? That isn’t how promotion and brand building works. Also, he is the most over big man they have, and getting over is the goal of wrestling, so he can lay claim to being the best.

As a community we're starting to go too far with saying talent can't be positive about themselves. Especially on a week where a main event wrestler put his foot in his mouth for the 76629592624th time in his career.

I don't mind what Braun said. Here's to hoping they can somehow recapture the same magic they had with him a couple years ago.
