3. WWE Hall Of Famer On The Problem Braun Strowman Might Face In AEW
During the latest episode of his weekly ‘Hall of Fame’ podcast, two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T talked about WWE releasing Braun Strowman.
He said that there aren’t many credible opponents for The Monster Among Men in Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling, who could be considered serious competition.
Ever since the news broke that Braun was let go, rumors started that AEW would probably sign him as soon as his 90-day no-compete clause gets over.
Here’s what Booker T had to say:
“That’s the thing, Braun Strowman runs through that whole roster. I really rely on the past in certain ways to fuel what we got going on today.
Just imagine, we may not be talking about Kevin Nash the way we talk about him if he wasn’t the bodyguard for Shawn Michaels in the beginning.
The way big Kev was introduced, he wasn’t a guy that was just thrown out there to be a star.
He was a star and the fans knew it and they wanted to get behind them because he was Big Sexy, Big Daddy Cool, Diesel. He had some charisma and the fans gravitated to that.
A guy like Braun Strowman, we just threw him out there to become a star and sometimes it’s really, really difficult when you’re put out there under the bright lights to pull it off.
Not saying that he didn’t do a hell of a job but being introduced the way that he was introduced, as the Monster Among Men, he had to be bigger than everybody every single night. To rise to that occasion man, that’s a rough task.
There’s like two matches over there for him. Lance Archer, Brian Cage, Miro. There’s two or three guys that Braun Strowman can face. Mark Henry.”
