10 Worst WWE Workers Since 2010

4. Braun Strowman

As far as big men go, Braun Strowman is light years ahead of Giant Gonzalez and The Great Khali (uh oh...spoiler alert!), but the man looks like he could use a bit more “seasoning” if we want to be polite and use a Jim Ross expression. If we’re not looking to be polite, then...well, feel free to throw in whatever terms you’d like about his work. No one will judge you.

If Strowman was even a half-way decent worker, he likely would have main-evented a pay-per-view or two by now. He’s an absolute beast, and was immediately pushed like one when he manhandled Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose by himself. Mick Foley even took to Twitter to talk about what a beautiful thing it was when WWE pushes a monster heel like that. Yeah, that lasted about two weeks.

Strowman was exposed badly in the ring, and fans rejected him so much that a planned Undertaker WrestleMania match was nixed.

He throws decent looking punches I guess, and he can toss people around but...anything beyond that and you’re asking for disaster. Perhaps he will improve during his squash match era he’s currently in, but perhaps he’ll join Giant Gonzalez, Giant Kurgan and Giant Silva as giants who were big, but couldn’t make a career out of it.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
