8 Times Braun Strowman Didn't Look Like A Monster At All
The moments when Adam Scherr and WWE forgot he was supposed to be a giant...
Billed at 6'8" and 385lbs, Braun Strowman is showcased on WWE programming as a relentless, one-man demolition crew, who can manhandle anyone from James Ellsworth to Brock Lesnar. Despite failing to capture the World and Universal Championships, ‘The Monster Among Men’ has been one of the most consistently dominant superstars over the last couple of years.
When it comes to Strowman’s character, WWE goes to great lengths to protect his image as a ruthless giant. Almost every week he pummels main eventers, such as John Cena, or rakes up as much money in property damage as possible by destroying announce tables, production gear, and vehicles. He even picked up a win over the superhuman Roman Reigns before facing injury.
However, his run has been far from perfect. For every handful of times he came off looking strong, there were occasions when ‘The Monster’ also appeared to be a complete goof, whether due to poor creative choices such as making him a party animal or down to something shared from his life outside of the ring worse than his parody of Elf...
8. When Lesnar Knocked The Slobber Out Of His Knocker
Braun Strowman was hyped up as the biggest monster in WWE, and given Brock Lesnar’s part-time status, it was often forgotten that there were still forces larger than ‘The Monster Among Men.’
After WWE teased the matchup a couple of times, a program finally started between Strowman and ‘The Beast Incarnate,’ but he failed to capture the WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam and later had an unimpressive bout at No Mercy in 2017.
The next chance for Strowman to shine against Lesnar involved Kane in a Triple Threat match at the 2018 Royal Rumble Event. While the outcome of the match was predictable, a handful of moments piqued the interest of the WWE Universe. Not all of them painted Strowman in a terrific light, however. One such instance was when he delivered a stiff knee to ‘The Beast.’ In return, Strowman received a hard blow to the face, one so ferocious it dropped him back down to a knee. When protected, it'd take much more to shake the monster of the New Era.
