I’ve never been on this dude’s hype wagon. He’s dull as dishwater and “Wrestles good and also happens to be a Steiner” is just a shitty champion level character.

Seriously how did they have this dude's entire character be "is the world champion" like from the jump as soon as he debuted running for this long that's nuts
(fishing guy bron was a brief reprieve we can all agree upon but he's back to just "guy that is the world champion" guy now)

I think he has a mega face run in him on the main roster but not until he's more established and after a year or two as a heel first.
After he drops the title to Melo I wouldn't waste any time. Immediately debut him on the post-Mania Raw or Smackdown as a heel by brutally attacking a top face like Rollins or Sheamus or something.
Just listen to his voice. If you close your eyes you would think it was Scott and/or Rick. He just sounds and looks like a violent meathead who wants to hurt people. Even Big Poppa Pump struggled as a singles face because everything about him screamed monster heel. Let Bron destroy people, trash the fans and cut unintelligible promos about what he's going to do to his opponents. He looks uncomfortable playing a good guy and being nice to the fans.

More of these weird comments from him would help:

The amount of barking that this man had to do to win the crowd over last night was absurd. Melo has to take it from him.

Bron's career is legit held together by the human urge to bark rn and I think that's beautiful.

So this dude's been the champion for something like 10,000 years at this point and the crowd still was all but completely ignoring him for significant chunks of the match with the despicable heel he was fighting instead getting dueling chants by himself, and then there's whatever that finish was supposed to be. Like, this dude has a world of potential but surely they must recognize that what he's doing in the here and now just straight up isn't working, right? That's just it, NXT is not being built for the "here and now", they're are just wanting people to be ready for the whenever. These guys and gals will get called up, maybe, and God knows what they will be then. Maybe this changes with Hunter on the book and knowing what he went through with NXT but Bron could just as easily be called up Monday to start the new Varsity Club as Dr. Frank N. Steiner and the Chase U bunch.

Would it help him to lean more into being a Steiner?
Like not necessarily being a derivative of Scott or Rick, but more so channeling that wild energy that they brought to the table. Scott and Rick were both insane but in different ways, maybe it could help Bron to find his own brand of lunacy.
Granted I haven't seen much of him, so maybe they tried that already. Just throwing my thoughts out there.

Just throwing my thoughts out there. I know Rick is his dad but I see way more of Scott in him. I'd ditch the barking and play up the violent, unhinged aspect. Imagine 90s Scott Steiner in the ring with 2000s Scott Steiner attitude. We never got to see that with Steiner because by the time he found the Big Poppa Pump character he had already lost most of his athleticism. Bron is an absolute freak of nature though and still so young. If he's this good in the ring after only 18 months imagine how good he could be at like the 5 year mark of his career. And if he gets the character part down he could easily be top star in the business material eventually.

Too much of a Bron for Breakkertown, too much of a Breakker for Brontown.

I went to sleep after the woman’s title match.
Dude won again?
I thought that was the whole point of cage match, so Waller could win but Bron could look strong.
These overly long title runs on all the shows just make everyone look like garbage.

Bron's career is legit held together by the human urge to bark rn and I think that's beautiful. The Steiners channel the primal urge of the caveman and proto-shamans to mimic the wolf's cry. They tap into an urge that existed before culture, language and nephews. Breakker must retrace roots not by barking, but by howling - for the wolf is stronger and wiser than the dog. Also, when he works out, he should work out in a full business suit.

Bron is just very generic in the ring. He reminds me of Cena during the 2010’s. He’s good in the ring, I guess, but it’s all generally a paint by numbers match layout. And he says all the same stuff hyping every match.
And this is kinda a big reason why making your own path in wrestling is ideally better… because to me, all he does is dress and bark like his dad and cut promos like his uncle. Outside of that, what is his personality?
It’s like he walked in the door and they shoved a rocket up his ass. As a fan, it’s kinda hard to root for that. He showed up and instantly became The Guy. That gets old painfully quick. A year of that is damn near literally torture.

Bron needs to do an angle with Rick and Scott where he turns on Rick and decides he's going to take Uncle Scott's advice.
