Bron Breakker has a major advantage in WWE, Hall of Famer says
As Bron Breakker is preparing to become WWE Intercontinental Champion for a second time, two legends of the wrestling industry have praised him. Next week, he will challenge 'Main Event' Jey Uso for the belt on RAW.
While discussing the 26-year-old stalwart on Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker and Booker T applauded Bron Breakker for what he has achieved in a short span of time on the main roster.
Booker especially pointed out how Breakker not using the Steiner name has been a major advantage for him, as a lot of pressure was taken off the young star. The Hall of Famer noted the importance of knowing how to win and lose the right way. He credited the former IC Champion for taking some losses:
"A lot of pressure was taken off of him by not using the Steiner name. I think a lot of people look at that as a negative; I think I might have been one of the only people saying that it was actually something that was pretty cool because it didn't give him any advantages. He was going to have to go in there and he was gonna have to get there on his talent and his talent alone and he's proven that he's talent," Booker said.
The six-time World Heavyweight Champion further revealed that Breakker took his advice positively, however big or small it was:
"He is talent, he's a student, and he's gonna be a hell of a star, man," Booker remarked. "You gotta know how to lose and know how to win and for him, it's not gonna hurt him at all... It's not about winning and losing other than how you win and how you lose." [h/t Wrestling Inc]
The Undertaker says Bron Breakker is a better mic worker than the Steiners already
The Undertaker believes Bron Breakker will be a superstar in World Wrestling Entertainment for a long time. He noted how young the former IC Champion is at this point and that he has already surpassed the promo abilities of both his dad, Rick Steiner, and his uncle, Scott Steiner.
He further claimed that Breakker has immense potential and that the latter has only "scratched the surface" thus far:
"He is a young man. He ain't even scratched the surface of what he's going to do. He is athletic. He cuts better promos than his uncle and his dad already. He's going to be special. He is special. Like I said, he's only scratched the surface of what he's going to do. He's going to be a player for a long time," Taker said.
Interestingly, Bron Breakker had laid down a challenge to The Deadman heading into SummerSlam in August, where he won the IC Title for the first time in his career from Sami Zayn.
