3. Look To The Future
Look, Braun Strowman stinks. This isnt a comment on his body odor, just his in-ring ability. He has a great look, he seems decent on the mic, but half the man's offense consists of putting his arm around his opponent and lifting them a foot off the ground. All that said, WWE obviously has big plans for Braun. Theres even rumors going around that he could be slated to take on Undertaker at WrestleMania. So to make that match mean something, he should be protected as much as possible in the meantime. For example, he shouldnt be tossed out on Raw with no advanced hype, to take on Roman Reigns...and then lose! In Vinces mind, he thinks he protected his newest monster by not having him take a pinfall. It doesnt matter, any loss hurts the mans mystique. The announcers keep talking about how Braun doesnt leave his feet, but when he was Superman punched, he basically threw himself into the air and over the announcers table, taking the most ridiculous bump of the week. This is the next beast for Taker to slay? If Strowman is set for big things at Mania, creative needs to realize thats less than six months away. How about, now get this WWE, just dont book him against Reigns on Raw! Is Roman any stronger now than he was coming into the show? No, especially after that hostile crowd reaction. Is Strowman worse off? Yes. Seems pretty simple. And speaking of that reaction...

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.
