Why should WWE make Braun Strowman THE monster heel?
Can Strowman be the next breakout star?Braun Strowman is the talk of the town nowadays – he is a physical specimen, has the moves and is very much the stereotypical wrestler belonging to the ‘Land of the Giants’ that is the WWE. However, he has barely talked, the WWE Universe does not know whether he has got a shred of charisma and he has played second fiddle to Bray Wyatt throughout his short WWE career.On the other hand, pushing a singles run for him might well create a new monster heel along the likes of Umaga.So why should Strowman be pushed?
#1 The lack of a formidable giant
Yokozuna, Rikishi, The Big Show, Mark Henry, Viscera and the Great Khali – these are all monster heels that were fed to the WWE Universe over the past two decades with varying degrees of success. A 350-plus pounder is still a novelty act and a good attraction in the ‘size matters’ world of the WWE.
However, the current roster lacks one. True, the Big Show is still there – but possibly not for much longer. It is time to push one and there is no one more apt for the role currently than Braun Strowman.
He hasn’t had mic time yet, so there is no way to judge how good he can be. But even a perfectly good talker like Kane was shielded for years from the microphone and you could always have a heel manager to talk for you – like a la Mr.Fuji for Yokozuna.
It seems worthwhile to push Strowman now.
