I know, people might be offended because he was "awesome" and threw great punches or whatever. So go ahead and knock my comment. He was a pretty successful wrestler during the territory era. He would consistently get work and be fairly high up on the card. He did not win very often in WCW in the early 90's but he was given offense in matches and occasional angles. That is more success than most wrestlers have. Relatively he is more successful than most indy wrestlers today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 BTW - the WWE.com story on Braun is that his elbow surgery means he is out 6 months http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/article/braun-strowman-undergoes-surgery?sf78971426=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hey, at least they managed one angle without screwing it up. If he never comes back then it's their best storytelling in a decade.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 This sucks. I wanted Roman and Braun to be kept away from each other but not due to Braun being out for six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's far exceeded many of his peers that received similar pushes and couldn't maintain a top position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's indeed out for 6 months (who knows, maybe that number is legit), then having him return at the Rumble and win it. Better yet, it's been a long time since we've had mysterious video packages leading to someone's return. Put together a creepy and/or cryptic video package and have it play during various or even random matches leading up to Royal Rumble. Then at the start of the show play up that the time is up, but they still don't know who or what the countdown was for. At some point during the Rumble match do the Undertaker returning as Bikertaker at Judgment Day thing where you get "the end" of the video packages, lights go out in the arena, and then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'd go in debt and pay good money for Roman to come out wearing a I'M FINISHED WITH BRAUN'S ELBOW shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Harper/Orton was going to be another shit match until about half way through when Harper did or said something to him to get Orton to flip a switch and it went from boring to one of the best matches hes had in a while. It's amazing how Randy turns it on and off like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Orton is infinitely smarter than the Young Bucks and their ilk and anyone getting offended by what he said is probably the exact kind of fan he was trying to troll. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Orton proudly proclaiming himself to be the Dane Cook of wrestling is about the most Orton thing I can think of. But he's standing up for Rip Rodgers who is at best the Joe E. Ross of wrestling. But the Young Bucks are Gallagher of wrestling. And Bubba Ray is the Dice Clay of wrestling. That's 60 years of shitty comics all in one wrestling twitter feud. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how can the Bucks be Gallagher? I mean, if there's one wrestler known for finishing with a hammer, it's HHH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
