Thanks Strowman. This way to the dog house.

[Heartbreak_Kid_707]

I love that their building the Wyatt Family back up. And it doesn't even bother me that poor Erick Rowan will probably be cut as he has absolutely nothing to offer. But there is the opening for Braun Strowman. Who so far doesn't have much to offer except intimidation. But as a group the Wyatts are an unstoppable force again. But I think their making a huge mistake with with Strowman. He's unstoppable but wwe is feeding him 3 superstars. It would have been almost too much to feed one to him. They have made Reigns and Ambrose look like flies being swatted around. Week after week. Now in a matter of less than a month the wwe has offered up 2 legends in Chris Jericho and Randy Orton. So does anyone else think this is certain doom for Strowman. 4 insane popular stars being treated like nothing by somebody yet to really prove he belongs with that type of talent.

Will Strowman be able to live up to the build-up? Or a better question, why are Reigns, Ambrose, Jericho, and Orton being put in the doghouse???

 

[CyberPunk]

I don't understand what the problem is. Strowman is helping build Wyatt back up. Strowman is a very strong pawn on Wyatt's chessboard. If the family has to look strong, Strowman, by design, has to look stronger. In the end, whoever eventually takes him down would look great in doing so.

And no, this doesn't mean that Reigns, Ambrose, Jericho and Orton have been put in the doghouse. Strowman, kayfabe and in reality, is a very strong man. He is the man making Wyatts stronger than ever before. Unless faces have insurmountable odds against them, sympathy can't be built for them. Or did you want Reigns become super Reigns and just finish him off in the first fight fight they ever had? Let WWE try and build this guy.

Remember, 23 years ago, someone had a similar kind of debut.

 

[Aquaman6686]

Braun Strowman is a nobody who will be jobbing on Superstars within a year. 100% guaranteed. It's really pathetic the way modern WWE fans instantly proclaim every new debut as the next megastar. I've seen people compare Strowman to guys like Kane and Undertaker already. I've seen guys debut and pegged them for future greatness or future failure. With the sole exception of Daniel Bryan, who I pegged for a great future Intercontinental Champion but no higher, I've never been wrong. Braun Strowman will amount to NOTHING, and feeding him all these top level Superstars is just WWE's usual idiotic bullshit. Nothing will come of this.

[Aquaman6686]

Only fans who have been watching for many years can see a new debut and know with any degree of certainty whether that person is destined for success or failure. 20+ years of watching wrestling, I've learned to do that and I've only been wrong once. I can say with absolute confidence than Braun Strowman is nothing special.

 

[Azane]

We've seen this build a dozen times, he'll be hot with the push for a couple months, then WWE will dump him on his own, and if he can keep getting boos or cheers, whichever side he's on, they'll support him, but if he doesn't get strong reactions without WWE forcing him over, he'll be dancing on Smackdown.

 

[Blade]

I don't what he's really capable of or where he's going to go. None of us do. But the fact is, he is exactly what Wyatt needs right now, and he's exactly what Rowan could never quite be. He instantly legitimises Wyatt as a threat to anyone.

I mean, Bray Wyatt versus Orton? You'd probably bank on Orton to win that one. But Wyatt with Strowman at his side? Well, Orton would be the underdog in that situation.

I like what Strowman is doing now, he's serving a very useful purpose. And we'll just have to see what happens from here.

 

[Soulblazed]

Who's to say Rowan will be cut for certain? Shortly before he left, Rowan, for all the shit he gets from people for being a "useless big man" was improving himself. He was trying new moves which actually looked good given he hasn't been in pro wrestling for many years. The Spinning Heel Kick he would do, Fallaway Slam, variations of Backbreakers, that Von Erich Clawhold which would usually turn into a Biel throw, Full Nelson Slam, Pumphandle Backbreaker, etc all looked convincing, far as I'm concerned.

If anything, I think that whenever Rowan returns, Rowan and Strowman could be the Black and White Sheep, tagging up when need be. Then there's still Harper as well along with Bray. There's plenty to work with by having 4 members in the Wyatt Family instead of 3. Just because Strowman's there doesn't mean you should just fire Rowan by proxy.

 

[UFOcalling]

Right now, Strowman looks insanely strong; like an unstoppable monster. It's working for him right now, because he can be protected in these tag matches. I think we can all tell that he's not a brilliant mechanic in the ring, but he's filling a role that fits The Wyatt Family perfectly (a brute who just acts as their muscle). Strowman probably isn't good enough to have a match on his own, but he is able to do what they need him to do. It appears that his skill level is on par with Goldberg, around the time of his debut; good enough to do a few moves each match, but probably not good enough for a match longer than five minutes or more (at least not in a one-on-one scenario).

Right now Strowman's just gotta be in there to squash people. As long as the WWE doesn't try too much too soon with him (and they haven't, so far), it will be okay. Hopefully they won't split up The Wyatts again in the immediate future, so Strowman can get more comfortable in the ring. He can only benefit from working alongside Harper & Bray (more so Harper), and hopefully some of that in-ring skill will rub off on Strowman eventually. The WWE managed to do something similar with Roman Reigns when he was part of The Shield. Reigns wasn't good enough for singles competition when The Shield first debuted (at least not in my opinion), but working with Ambrose & Rollins for over a year made him that much better. Reigns learned how to have better singles matches because of his time with The Shield (I can't be alone in thinking that). Will Strowman's time with The Wyatts pay off in a similar fashion? Time will tell. I don't have a crystal ball. Strowman could just as easily end up as another job guy, if he doesn't improve over time. Strowman's been given an incredible gift here, and hopefully he won't drop the ball.

If Strowman was doing this gimmick on his own (à la Rusev - during his initial undefeated streak, for example), then I would agree 100% that he would be doomed to fail. He's too green, and the character is very one-dimensional right now. On the other hand he fits perfectly as a Wyatt Family member, and his "unstoppable" gimmick works. The WWE can easily give him his first loss somewhere down the line if he's "outsmarted" by his opponent, and that would be totally believable. Building a character this way is smart, as long as it's a slow process. We'll have to wait and see if this is all too much too soon for Strowman (as the topic of the thread states), but it's been working so far. Strowman's jump to the main roster did seem quick (given his apparent skill level in the ring), but The Wyatts need a guy like him right now...and he needs The Wyatts just as much.

While, yes, it is obvious Strowman isn't a ring technician ... would it really make sense if he was? Like, as big and impressive in the ring that Luke Harper is, for example, is almost weird. Like Luke Harper doing suicide dives almost looks out of place. I guess some fans eat it up because, yes, it is impressive that a big man like him can do that, but at the same time it is kind of out of place.

So what does that mean for Strowman? Sure, Strowman could and should get better in the ring but he is playing a character that is about being a big, bad, super strong monster. He is not playing the character of a super athletic big guy so his move-set should be power based not agility based.

I hate when so-called wrestling fans discredit a strong wrestler for not having the move-set of Daniel Bryan or Seth Rollins. It's like, NO DUH, they shouldn't! Should Ryback really be doing backflips, missile dropkicks, or enziguiris? No. He should be doing mostly what he is already doing and that is power moves that showcase his strength.

Same for Strowman. He is being an unstoppable monster and that makes sense.

It would make NO logical sense for Reigns or Ambrose or any face at this point to lose to or even get much of an upper hand on Strowman because then it would kill too much momentum and intrigue into the Wyatts and Strowman's presence.

I like Strowman's character right now and how he is being used and I just hope WWE are slow and steady with him and the Wyatt's progression.

Sometimes WWE fans are so quick to use the term buried with saying guys like Ambrose or Reigns are being buried by Strowman and the Wyatts. I assure you they are NOT.

Have you ever watched an action movie? Like James Bond? How entertaining would the movie be if the good guy won 5 minutes into the movie by finding the bad guy and kicking his ass right away? It would suck. You would ask for your money back.

Same in WWE. You need the monster heel to be strong, hopefully for a long time with the faces just getting bits and pieces of upper hand so the fans can still invest.

 

[Navi]

While, yes, it is obvious Strowman isn't a ring technician ... would it really make sense if he was? Like, as big and impressive in the ring that Luke Harper is,

Actually saw Strowman last night at the house show in Toronto, he's not as big as he looks on TV. I mean he's big but Harper looks bigger. He was in a squash match against Sandow, who quite honestly looked almost the same height as he did. I'm not sure how they are billing him, but I was expecting a lot bigger.

He's also very slow moving. During a No Holes Barred between Ambrose and Wyatt, which turned out to be the match of the night, Harper did a run in to save Wyatt. I mean the guy motored from the back, then the Dudley's ran in, and they had the jets on as well. Strowman showed up next, and took forever to get there. When Ryback showed up to help clean house, I thought he might make it to the ring before Strowman. Yes the guy doesn't move with any urgency at all.

I guess it remains to be seen how he will turn out. He looks like a big goofball to me, so they have to toughen his face up a little.

 

[nahd2421]

I've been watching wrestling since I was born, so the last 30 years, I've watched its highs & lows & I can say that Braun strowman should be very relevant as long as the Wyatt's are still the Wyatts, Braun is helping the Wyatt's look strong again. My only concern is that as a big guy Braun don't look near as athletic as Taker & Kane were in their prime, but then again he's still new to the main roster, he's like Great Khali. WWE should never put him in 1 on 1 matches until he gets more athletic in the ring. One more thing, with a mouthpiece like Bray Wyatt why is Braun even talking at all, he should just be a quiet monster!

[stingray11214]

Folks, the reason why Jericho was brought in instead of Cesaro or some other behemoth is for one reason and one reason alone: Strowman would have been exposed big time if it was Cesaro. Let us be real about the fact that Strowman was brought up before he was ready, and it shows. He can't wrestle to save his life. He can brawl, but so can Kimbo Slice. However, Slice you will not find in a wrestling ring. He cannot cut a promo to save his life. He has zero idea of ring generalship or psychology. He is so green and horrible, he makes the Great Khali look like Blackjack Mulligan in comparison. If they wanted big and tough, what was wrong with Samoa Joe? He would give the Wyatts far more credibility than Strowman is giving them. Doghouse? More like the outhouse. His career is going straight down the toilet.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Braun Strowman is the perfect Vince McMahon wrestler. I can picture Vince sitting in his office, a 6"8 400 plus pound man walks in...

" Oh my goodness ! And who might YOU be ?! "

" My name is John .... "

" Ah never mind, never mind that ! Wow ! Look at the size of you ! I'll call you Braun something , that's it....and you'll be sent directly to WWE RAW, never mind the NXT. Pfft, Samoa Joe can't even get out of NXT.....but YOU ! WOOOOW !!! "

 

[HBK-RVDFan92]

I agree with the complaint in his booking. Though I do understand why they are booking him this way. I'm not entirely a fan of Braun Strowman the character/wrestler, but I am a fan of Braun Strowman's POSITION in the Wyatt Family. With Harper being Bray's right hand, you also need muscle and Strowman obviously fits that mold. He's like the enforcer to Bray's needs etc. I think this trio is perhaps the most intimidating version of the Wyatt Family just in size and look. Rowan I had hopes for, but his bright red beard and green jumpsuit didn't mesh well with Bray and Harper's more darker look. It's like comparing Batman (Michael Keaton) to Batman Forever (Val Kilmer); too much color to blend in with the dark and gritty original. Anyways, I hate that his push is coming at the expense of feeding him guys like Reigns, Ambrose, Orton and Y2J. Especially since many of us were more interested in the storyline because we expected a different/bigger payoff, in that Reigns and Ambrose may gain a new third or perhaps start a new trio with someone else on the main roster. We got Y2J, and while I wasn't disappointed in that, I was only mildly surprised by him being their third and less thrilled at the finish and the heel turn after the match (one can only hope this can set up a potential Y2J vs Ambrose feud in the future!!). So with Y2J being the third member, every fan knew that this was only a temporary appearance as Jericho doesn't work the steady WWE schedule as is. So we were left with being forcefed Strowman's push. I didn't mind when he was fed Jimmy Uso but to have him take out Orton before his first televised match (including NXT, he's only wrestled a handful of times at their live events before hitting the main roster) I think was WAY too much juice to give to one guy in a trio, when they should be focusing more on pushing the whole group as threat and not just one over the other. His size and strength speak for him, and he has a great grisly voice that helps the character as well. But if they really want to feature him as a threat and build him credibly then feed him the long list of mid carders that are stuck in limbo: R Truth, Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Sandow, Adam Rose, Matadores, Zack Ryder, even Swagger would be a good choice because of his size and stature as well. The ONLY other thing I would say to change about Strowman is his finisher. That Lift & Cutter he does just looks so awkward being done by someone his size, and he doesn't seem to know how to sell it as good as others who have made the move famous (see Samoa Joe) as it looks as good as Kane selling a DDT lol. Other than that, change his opponents up quick. Having him run thru Ambrose, Orton and Reigns is crazy when you think about who these men are: earlier this year Reigns won the Royal Rumble and beat Daniel Bryan in an impressive match and earned a WWE title shot against Brock at WM 31, is he really better than Reigns already? Ambrose has had numerous feuds with Strowman's leader Bray, as well as multiple WWE title matches against current champ Seth Rollins (Hell in a Cell, Ladder match, etc.) is he already better than Ambrose? Orton, a 12 time World Champion. nuff said. He's better than the Legend Killer? It just hurts everything that Reigns and Ambrose has done thus far, plus the time it took to get them where they are now and then Strowman just comes in and steamrolls all that to shit?? I hate when WWE books like this.

 

[demonking]

I hate it when WWE do this.
I understand Strowman is supposed to look absolutely huge and give a big boost to the wyatts, but come on, if you make a superstar look THAT strong, then who can ever defeat him? May aswell put him straight into a match with Rollins if he can just squash Reigns and Ambrose like flies.
I just cant wait until he finally gets beat and then hopefully that will continue, so he doesn't look LITERALLY unbeatable.

He'll probably end up as a jobber to the Big Show anyway in a year.

I hate when WWE books like this.

How are any of those jobbers supposed to fit in with Ambrose and Reigns? The Wyatt's are feuding with Ambrose and Reigns, so how does him beating random jobbers make sense? It's not like he's fighting one on one matches every week, he's just the endorcer for the Wyatts, nothing more. Him beating people nobody really cares about will do no favors for anyone. He puts more crowd support on Ambrose and Reigns then they were getting when it was just Wyatt and Harper. Reigns looks more vulnerable than he ever has been, which is why so many people weren't on the Reigns hype train to begin with. Braun Strowman is being booked like Reigns was when he first started his singles push, the difference is Strowman is a heel and he looks the part of an unbeatable monster.

 

[Mustang Sally]

I don't understand what the problem is. Strowman is helping build Wyatt back up.

Yes, that's the purpose of Strowman being brought up to WWE and placed on Bray Wyatt's team. He's a program.......watching him decimate the top guys reminds me of the brief series between Hulk Hogan and Zeus in 1989.

Do you remember? Still in the midst of Hulkamania, Hogan was hitting Zeus with every clubbing shot in his arsenal......which had absolutely no effect. But later in the match, Hulk's blows finally chopped down the big man. It was stupid and illogical......but also the blueprint for what Braun Strowman is doing now.

Of course, Tiny (Zeus) Lister wasn't a wrestler; he was an actor, who never planned on working for WWE after the 'No Holds Barred' gig. Braun Strowman has a different problem; after the WWE heroes succeed in bringing Braun down to earth, he's going to have to find a way to convince WWE management to keep him around.

I know! A tag team with Braun and Erick Rowan.....which they can call "Bray's Rejects" or "The Hillbilly Halfway House."

 

[the_peoples_adam]

Its true they are making Strowman look big but they haven't gone that too far with it....
Strowman is character booked like Snitsky or The Great Khali..A genre that is lacking from the current roster..Remember Khali crushing The Undertakers skull n Snitsky destroying everyone in his way..
Strowman is supposed to play just like that..He may throw around Roman n Dean like rag dolls but it aint matter..
Maybe the story is like, they will keep on looking for a third member who can actually be a match for Strowman but they keep on failing for 1 or 2 more PPV's..
Y2J already failed..
Randy Orton should fail at Hell in a Cell and maybe one more superstar should fail at the next PPV..
Then it would be a great spot to introduce a superstar from NXT roster as the Third member and make him overcome Strowman which will establish that talent on a major level..
And FINN BALOR or SAMOA JOE will be great for that spot..

 

[Seosa]

Despite Aquacunt's claims, I don't think anybody has claimed he's the next superstar. I find it difficult to take him seriously with his baby face but he's Wyatt's new muscle that'll hopefully fulfil a duty.

 

[rmp0012002]

He's still very green but he only started actual training earlier this year so how much can you expect from the guy. He fits in good with Wyatt but working a smaller promotion like the old days would be the best training. Big Show and Kane are pretty useless wrestlers but they have been given a push for the last 20 years and Vince likes big guys.

 

[Radical]

Actually saw Strowman last night at the house show in Toronto, he's not as big as he looks on TV. I mean he's big but Harper looks bigger.

When Ryback showed up to help clean house, I thought he might make it to the ring before Strowman. Yes the guy doesn't move with any urgency at all.

I'm not going to discount your live report on how big Strowman is but is it not fair to say that he is definitely taller and thicker, at least in the torso area, than Harper? And that's the point. He's supposed to look big and brooding. He does.

I don't know why so-called wrestling fans are so quick to jump on him because he's not a skilled ring technician.

Someone said why not get Samoa Joe to be the enforcer? Oh, let me think about that. BECAUSE HE'S NOT NEAR 6'10" and 400 lbs! That's why. Like do these 'wrestling fans' forget that it's a SHOW and it's NOT ALWAYS about every character being the best technician in the ring?

Should fans look back at Yokozuna's days in the WWE and say he sucks because even though he was pretty agile for a big guy he wasn't able to do standing dropkicks and suicide dives and move super fast down the aisle or do a sunset flip? I sure hope not.

I'm not someone who is hailing Strowman as the next coming of Kane or The Undertaker. But I am recognizing his strong intimidating presence in the ring for what he is SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR AT THE TIME.

Strowman is looking super strong right now, AS WELL HE SHOULD. If 'fans' can't see how that makes sense then they are either totally unwilling to understand how building a storyline works in pro wrestling or they are blindly hating on this new big guy because it's 'cool' to hate on a big strongman if he can't do 1000 wrestling moves like their hero Cesaro.

I don't see Strowman becoming a main event monster anytime soon or if at all but I do see his value in the Wyatt Family. He's still young enough that he could improve. Look at Ryback or Reigns how much they've improved while being shit on by a good portion of fans who are impatient or just haters, in general, and eventually some turned their heads and gave them credit where credit is due.

Strowman's long term fate is up in the air, as is the fate of most big men. But I'm pretty interested to see how it turns out.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This is how WWE books their bigger wrestlers. At first they're basically invincible and no-sell everything.

Just wait until he gets fed to Cena and becomes a comedy jobber. We all know that's going to happen.

As for Erick Rowan, I would just take Luke Harper, who is sorta being held back, out of the Wyatts and put Rowan back in.

 

[stingray11214]

Then, why not add Samoa Joe to the Wyatt Family? He would not only give Bray Wyatt a "monster", but would add far more credibility to that whole team than Strowman does. He can decimate the big guys with a blank stare on his face. And, Joe would be believable to the folks that buy the tickets. Far more believable than Strowman is.

 

[mkw1962]

Braun Strowman was just brought in to help Bray and the Wyatts, he is not going to become a major star in this business. If anything he will just be a mid card guy or maybe a tag team champion with someone else like Luke or Bray. Right now they are pushing him to be this big monster who even the stars like Roman, Dean and even Randy can not beat alone. When this feud ends The Wyatts will move on to someone else, I have a feeling it might be the Dudleys. I do not know why I said that but I can see it happening and the Wyatts can win the tag titles. Once they break up the Wyatts Strowman will be nothing.
