offspring515 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I will refer to him as Big Dangerous Guy Who Should Not Be Throwing People until I learn to properly spell his name. Not being able to use his correct ring name obviously invalidates everything I've said. No need to get combative, I was just making a joke because I've seen his name spelled lots of ways online. Wasn't trying to needle you in particular. Apologies if I was needlessly snarky. Braun looks like a guy who may get really good at being a giant monster someday to me. I agree he isn't there yet. Especially glaring was him just freezing up at one point while waiting for Roman to punch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Even worse, he actually SOLD a punch that was never thrown. Roman was slow on the draw. Also, I don't think I've ever seen Becky Lynch look any more nervous in the ring. She had to have been worried about a repeat of the Emma fuckup.

Go2Sleep Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How many legit submission finishers are there in WWE anyway? STF, Accolade, Kimura, Hell's Gate, Bank Statement... The Yes-Lock, Ankle Lock, Anaconda Vise, and Cross Arm Breaker have all been legit in recent years too. I think WWE has actually gotten a little more submission heavy if anything recently. Like Heyman says, you can get anything over if you train the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I agree that Buzz Lightyear should be using the Arm Triangle as his finish but most WWE crowds dont buy those pass out moves as match ending. Remember when Chris Masters was beating guys with the Masterlock? How many legit submission finishers are there in WWE anyway? The Acolade was pretty good till Rusev ran into Cena. Even still Cena's the only guy to have fully broken it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 To settle the "Where have I seen this before" question regarding Braun Strowman's finisher: It was Chuck Palumbo's finisher (Full Throttle) during his brief 07 run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygkfHIipto That was a DLC move in Fire Pro D. Although that version of it was supposed to land in a Diamond Cutter thing, rather than a flapjack. Someone in Toryumon used it I think. I don't think it really fits with a Super Strong Big Monster guy like Brown Straw Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I happen to think that Brown Strobelight is a good, serviceable big man/monster with great potential. He seems less clunky than Erik Rowen and a lot more natural in the ring than Rowan. But, if Erik Rowan is the measuring stick, than its kind of hard not to surpass that line. I also just wrote all this so I could call him Brown Strobelight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Wyatt Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 WWE should've had Braun work under a hood or a mask. Bray coming out with Braun looking like Dr Salvador from RE4 would have scared 9 year old me to death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Burt Macklan is definitely doing Susumu Mochizuki's finisher from back in the day.

Stevie Ray Von Erich Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 With Bone Strawman's finisher, I wish he would do something similar to the Diamond Head Kobashi used once. I think he broke dude's ribs with it though. I know what he's doing now was called the Lift and Cutter in Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 With Bone Strawman's finisher, I wish he would do something similar to the Diamond Head Kobashi used once.

If I was Dean Ambrose and an agent told me that BamBam Strawberry was going to hit that move on me, I would be hitchhiking the fuck out of there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeball Wizard Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I personally think Brick Streetlight should use the Iconoclasm, its visually impressive and easy enough that he won't cripple anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Pretty funny that WWE is able to call him Strong BroMan without any repurcussions from TNA at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
