Was Braun Strowman Any Good Before I Started Watching Him??

[Wacky D]

i got back into watching the WWE 3 years ago.

was he any good before that??

they say he was more athletic before his injuries but were his injuries even before this time period?? or are they just bullchitting and holding WWE guys to a lower standard per usual??

the “I’M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU” era from 2017 was his peak

Roman sold his ass off for him and the E would let him do big stunts pretty much weekly to sell his “monster” persona

it was all downhill from there

 

[NoMorePie]

He was legit in 2017

He officially became a joke after what brock did to him at summerslam 2018

 

[TL15]

Whenever he won the tag titles with the referee’s son, I knew it was over

Has the build of a monster but the way WWE matches are always so “back and forth” he’s just sort of a dinosaur. If WWE was cool booking a really dominant (not just wins and losses but actually during the match dominance) force, he could’ve been the guy for years.

wrestling’s obsession with the constant 2.5 count kick out is a joke

 

[DANJ!]

If by "good" you mean workrate or whateverthefukk people judge wrestlers by, not really. But he was a convincing big man who they had doing wild "spectacle" type stuff during his feud with Roman that got him over.

Roman basically made him, then snatched it back when he started the Head of the Table era.
"You aint a monster unless I'm here" was the line that basically ended Braun's push in WWE.

i knew WWE didn't care about him after his feud with shane. the bully angle was awful and they poured green goo on him

 

[OnFleekTing]

WWE can never push new guys super hard
If they get too big too fast they always run the risk of them going lesnar and leaving the E
so after they make these guys a star they book them terribly to the point that they ponder quitting or eventually get released
Strowman got fired because he apparently was costing WWE too much

 

[PharaohAtem]

No one took him seriously after this

Yeah that shyt was horrible

 

[Bob Loblaw]

He was never good Roman made him look serviceable all the fake outrage needs to stop

 

[julesocean]

I remember it clearly Braun was literally destroying the buildings, wrecking vehicles, squashing people never took an L. He looked like a legit monster and was decent in ring for a big guy. And then Roman Reigns was injected into his title pursuit against Lesnar. It really soured things up for what was a legit buzz worthy title match for WWE. The book was then turned to complete fukkery, and they actually turned him heel when he was still mad over. And THEN, He would lose to Lesnar in a squash match. From that point on, he was no longer monster.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Bork Billy Gunn’d him in that match

As mentioned before, that "IM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU" era was fukking great. Him and Roman were fight forever status for a while there. Roman was getting his ass beat weekly.

For me I soured on him when he won the tag team titles at Mania.
