10 WWE Newcastle Live Observations From A None Wrestling Fan

9. Braun Strowman Fails To Make An Impression

This was my first time seeing Braun Strowman live, and I was interested to see how he'd look and perform. He was teaming with Erick Rowan against Big Show and Kane.

But he failed to make an impression. He looks bigger on television, and he didn't really measure up as a giant. My partner wasn't impressed by him, and far preferred the Big Show.

The thing is, WWE are rumoured to be pushing Braun later in the year, based on the idea that giants get over with the mainstream public. But that wasn't the case, Strowman didn't create interest. Again, it was the emotional connection that proved key, as she liked Big Show based on him seeming like a big friendly guy.

Show and Kane went over, in a basic effort.
