10 Best WWE Wrestlers Of 2017
3. Braun Strowman
1987 was the year Hulkamania became ingrained in American pop culture thanks to his slamming of Andre The Giant at WrestleMania 3, 1997 gifted the world the rise of 'The Rattlesnake' with an earth-shattering Stone Cold Stunner to Vince McMahon and a 2007 toppling of a 'Samoan Bulldozer' finally foreshadowed the complete pro lurking within 'The Champ'. Will tipping over an ambulance be remembered as Braun Strowman's 2017 touchstone?
And if not that, one of the other memorable stunts he took part in alongside willing victims Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, The Big Show, Kane, Kalisto and other. Billed as a 'Monster Among Men', WWE have taken the unique step of preserving the aura not only by having him win routinely and with ease, but engaging in literally unbelievable feats of strength and determination.
Impossible to dislike regardless of who he may be committing his atrocities too, Strowman's performance has always walked the tightrope between force and farce, with his ring work accelerating quicker than the ambulance Roman Reigns drove into him during their chaotic Great Balls Of Fire encounter.
Outside of a disparate loss to Brock Lesnar the company quickly managed to stifle, his momentum hasn't stuttered - another rarity in the modern product. No title match - or worse, the Triple H slot - would be a disappointing WrestleMania payoff for the year he's had, but either Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live! gold simply has to be in his near future. Audiences will except and expect nothing less.
