"Guess who's in the headlines?" - Wrestling star opens up on Braun Strowman's "floppy floppers" comment (Exclusive)
Current NWA star Flip Gordon recently spoke about WWE star Braun Strowman and his comments about high-flying superstars.
The Monster of All Monsters was in the news after his WWE Crown Jewel match against Omos. He took a shot at high-flyers and star ratings, mocking them and proclaiming that big, giant men would always draw more eyeballs than the so-called "floppy floppers."
On this week's episode of UnSKripted, Gordon mentioned that he was good friends with Braun. He detailed that the two were a lot alike in the sense that they both enjoyed getting people worked up on social media. He felt that Braun's flippy comment was fine as long as it was getting him headlines.
"I love Braun Strowman by the way. Me and him are good buddies. I love that he knows how to get a good reaction. I had to delete my Twitter becuase I was having too much fun with it. I love poking people's buttons, I love getting reactions. I should do a gimmick as the Instigator because I love instigating people. If you're gonna sell for me, why would I stop? I feel Braun's the same way. He's like, 'Man these people keep selling for me. I'm gonna keep going.' Guess who's in the headlines every time he does it? Braun Strowman." [12:22 - 12:58]
