Braun is really proof that Vince/everyone around him are just lazy. When they wanted to get Braun over, he was the hottest act in the company for about 9 months to a year. Because they gave him shyt to do that would get him over and kept at it until he was super over.

But then Vince's actual big man philosophy came in to play, which is big men are there to job to top stars and because they're big, they'll never lose their heat, which is the philosophy he's had for 40 years for every big man that wasn't Andre and even Andre at the end was putting Warrior over in a minute all across the country. But that doesn't work, it always kills the heat of the big guys, and it has consistently for 40 years in WWE. You mix that with Vince getting bored and dropping shyt constantly, and his habit of booking dudes poorly then blaming them for losing heat, and you have what seemed like a can't miss huge star in Braun Strowman in 2017-2018 into the complete afterthought he's been ever since.

And this doesn’t even include the fact that he believes every single big man should also do comedy. Literally every single big man to ever come through the WWE has had a comedy stint other than Taker and Batista.

Yeah he was doing fine, even as a face just doing the same shyt he was doing as a heel, but then he jobbed to Brock, started smiling, got a catchphrase, tagged with a 10 year old at Mania and that was the end of Braun’s chapter

He told Vince about suicidal thoughts during his mid card stuff. You think Vince is gonna respect him still and trust him enough to push him? Vince is only gonna push guys he respects and trust. That’s why guys like Jericho and Kingston have some longevity they stood up to Vince and he trusted them

I used to be a Braun stan, I know a lot of people here thought he should have next:yeshrug:

He had a spark, but they jobbed him out too much to Brock and took too long to pull the trigger :francis:

then we find out he’s some redneck bum who only looks good against Roman Reigns:yeshrug:

so a combo of WWE fumbling the bag again and him not being that talented
That's how I feel too, meng.

When's the last time somebody in TSC referred to him as Strowgawd? Dude's one of the biggest dissapoinments of the past decade. :francis:
