WWE encounter involving Bronson Reed took Hall of Famer "back to the Attitude Era" (Exclusive)
Bronson Reed has been steadily climbing the ladder in WWE, as evident from his performances lately. A recent encounter on RAW, involving him received high praise from a Hall of Famer.
Reed and Braun Strowman were meant to go toe-to-toe on RAW last week. Though the match got called off because the top rope snapped before the bout could even begin, it turned out to be a showcase of brute strength and power with both competitors brawling all over the arena. According to Teddy Long, the encounter had elements similar to those during the Attitude Era.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine show hosted by Mac Davis, the WWE Hall of Famer stated that the two monsters going at it in the manner that they did felt very real, much akin to the Attitude Era, and that was exactly what was needed. He thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.
"I really thought that the Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed, I thought that was very good. It was very well put together, it took me back to the Attitude Era. You know what I mean, that's the stuff that we need right now. You got to, you know, make it believable. And those two guys you know took a hell of a beating last night, but they made it real," he said. [8:36 onwards]
