7 Things You Didn't Know About Braun Strowman

1. His Strongman Nicknames Were 'Big Country' And 'Mansquatch'

Nicknames are often self explanatory, and that is definitely true when it comes to the two monikers that Scherr went by on the strongman scene.

The first was 'Big Country', because look at the guy. He looks like the sort of dude you would see out in the fields, chopping trees, hurling bales of hay around as if they were bales of air, wearing either a lumberjack shirt (in a genuine way, not as a fashion statement) or just a vest. He would be legitimately excited if granny made some fresh lemonade, because BIG COUNTRY.

The other is an absolute delight. Puns are always welcome here, especially ones that fairly accurately describe an individual or a situation. It is with great enthusiasm that I present you with the name Mansquatch. 

Sasquatch (or Bigfoot to us Brits) is a mythical beast in the forest, and he might be the only thing bigger and hairier than Braun Strowman. Mansquatch is the perfect nickname for Strowman.

Whilst I can't see Mansquatch being a WWE thing (Mantaur didn't really work out), 'Big Country' Braun Strowman could certainly be a thing. What do you think?
