10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Braun Strowman

2. Those Bloody 'Choo-Choo' Noises

WWE lean on the 'Entertainment' part of their name. That's fine - fans know they have to suspend some disbelief and switch off logical thinking whenever they tune into programming. Still, what was with those writers and completely undermining their own presentation of Braun?

The guy once hurled fools through tables and tipped over production trucks. Then, suddenly, he was waxing lyrical about some "Strowman Express" ride-along and literally working in 'Choo-Choo' noises as part of his act. Meanwhile, the announcers had to kid on they couldn't believe that Braun had turned into a train for his ringside shoulder barges.

Wow. There's suspending one's disbelief, and then there's supporting a muscled-up Thomas The Tank Engine. This wasn't a good way to utilise Braun. His "Express" gig was a one-way ticket to laugher, not bad-assery, and it's probably just as well fans weren't in the stands when WWE piped in some sound effects.

They should never acknowledge this again. Ever.
