12 Things We Learned From Braun Strowman On The Steve Austin Show
Raw's new monster opens up about his career with The Texas Rattlesnake.
On this week's family friendly edition of The Steve Austin Show the guest was Braun Strowman, formerly of The Wyatt Family. Since the brand split occurred, the big man has been left to fend for himself over on Raw while his family remains together over on SmackDown.
WWE has taken the old school approach with building him as a monster by putting him in squash matches against enhancement talent, something we haven't seen on WWE television with any consistency in over 15 years. Each week Braun, sporting a slight alteration on his look and new theme music, comes out and absolutely annihilates some poor jobber by beating him within an inch of his life.
It's a slow burn that will hopefully lead to bigger and better things for the freakishly huge former strongman competitor, and seeing him as a guest on Austin's show was quite surprising considering he's barely spoken twenty total words during his time on the main roster.
This is an entertaining interview that gives insight into a man who is considerably humble and appreciative of all that he's been given thus far, and looks to have a great attitude about the business. Check it out.
12. Braun's Current Size
Stone Cold opens up talking about how he'd been watching "some big strong cat named Adam Scherr picking up all kinds of weight" referring to Strowman's weightlifting exploits.
The Rattlesnake wants to know what the big man currently weighs. He responds that he doesn't really know for sure, but assumes he's around 375 or 380, adding that his body weight fluctuates 10-15 pounds a day depending on what he eats.
At his largest point he was 415 pounds, and he says he was miserable. He had to have his girlfriend tie his shoes. He says that getting in and out of cars and finding clothes that fit was a chore, and that it was a job just to live life at that size.
