Braun Strowman Talks Having The Look That Vince McMahon Likes, Which SmackDown Star He Wants To Face
Braun Strowman was interviewed by Metro to discuss the big year he's had and more. Below are a few highlights:
Who he'd like to have a match with in WWE:
"AJ Styles is definitely someone I'd like to get in and have a singles match with. Other than that, there's not a whole lot of guys I haven't worked with yet."
How his promo skills are progressing:
"They've done a really good job with keeping everything kinda short and sweet. I'm not nervous about having to go out there and do lengthy promos, but my character is more of a less talk more action kinda guy. The shorter promos they have me do are effective because I back everything up that I say. I don't say much, so it doesn't take much to back it up. That's been the whole thing, less talking and more action with Braun, and it's seeming to work."
His relationship with Vince McMahon:
"Vince is very keen on the larger than life human beings, especially because of the shock and awe value. Even before I was a WWE Superstar, when I walk into a room I don't care who is in there, I take focal point. People stop what they're doing to look at me when I walk in, and now they can put a name to it. That's been a huge factor in WWE since the beginning of the company. It's a huge favour for me that I'm larger than life and having these genetics and the look that Vince likes.
"But it's more than a look, there's a lot of guys that look big and tough but being able to put that into play in WWE is difficult. Being able to go out there night after night and work with people and not injuring and hurting people, that was a big thing when I first came in that I had beat into my head from developmental. I have to be one big strong rough and tough guy, but at the same time, I have to be safe. If I'm not safe no-one is going to want to work for me.
"Vince has seen how hard I want to be good at this, and how much I want to succeed. I'm going to be a WWE Hall of Famer when it's all said and done, in my mind that's what I want to do. I want to main event Wrestlemania, and I think that shows through to Vince, and is why he's been in my corner, because he knows I want to be the best I can be. I'm not a fly by night guy, I want to be remembered forever as Braun Strowman, the monster among men."
Braun also discussed his relationship with Roman Reigns and Reigns always steering him in the right direction, some of the crazy stunts he's been involved in this year, if he prefers being a babyface or a heel and more. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
