7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (July 28)
2. A Second Crazy Kurt Angle Son Story In As Many Weeks
Braun Strowman is the anointed babyface of 2017. He must have taken the term literally; if smoke exists where there is fire, he, in an incredibly childish story plucked directly from the playground, went into business for himself last week.
According to this week's Wrestling Observer, WWE and Global Force Wrestling personnel found themselves drinking in the same Nashville bar, at which point Karen Jarrett requested an autograph from Strowman on behalf of her son, apparently a big fan of his. Strowman, not knowing who she was, allegedly told her to go f*ck herself. Karen, apoplectic, then cut a promo on Strowman, during which she revealed that the son in question was sired by one Kurt Angle. It was at this point that Strowman, sh*tting himself, backtracked and offered up a breathless apology. Strowman wasn't finished with her yet; he proceeded to get down on his hands and knees to put the apology angle over.
It must have been a bizarre sight, given that Strowman already sort of looks like an overgrown baby. That wasn't sufficient for Jarrett. She was still "telling".
Stephanie McMahon's castration gimmick was roundly criticised for being unrealistic. On this evidence, it's as believable as her dad's megalomania. The men in her charge really are quivering p*ssants.
