WWE RAW Superstar Big Show Says Braun Strowman Is "On Another Level" And Teases A Future Feud
Following their recent blockbuster match on RAW, Big Show shares his thoughts on fellow big man Braun Strowman, what it was like to compete with him in the squared circle, and the chances of a rematch.
Braun Strowman has had a great year. Ever since being drafted to RAW, the former strongman has dominated everyone he's faced off with, something which has got the former Wyatt Family member over with the WWE Universe in a big way. His recent main event match with Big Show was met with extremely positive reviews and definitely exceeded expectations.
When Yahoo! Sports recently caught up with the World's Largest Athlete, they asked for his thoughts on Strowman and how they compare, and Big Show had nothing but good things to say.
"Oh geez, I don't remember what I was like at 33. I think Braun … other than size, you can compare Braun and I, but Braun is on another level. He's a former strongman, an incredible athlete. Very fast and very, very athletic. I think at 33 I was on a different path. I was probably around 490 pounds and I was a monster. I wasn't necessarily as athletic as Braun.
"Braun is one of the most explosive, athletic big guys I've been in the ring with. He's got a unique look and he's also pretty sharp. He's starting to really pick up his character and the way he works in the ring and his presence. He's still very green considering how much time he's spent in the ring and how far he's gone. It's hard for me to compare myself to anybody. I always want to be as good as The Undertaker or even Kane. I think those two guys are the two best big guys ever in the business. I always get lumped into the category of I'm not really Andre [the Giant] and I'm definitely not The Undertaker. I'm somewhere lumped in the middle, so how do I fit in?
"I'm kind of that freak that didn't really have a home. I'm more than happy to bequeath that torch to Braun and he can be the freak that doesn't have a home. Hopefully down the road before I go, we can have a nice program. That was kind of an impromptu thing that happened but I was really happy with what we did and the stories we were able to tell. It would be nice to revisit that again after WrestleMania."
Big Show and Strowman were getting "This is Awesome!" chants before their match even really began, so a rematch and feud between the two would no doubt go down well. However, the former's time is numbered it seems as he went on to confirm that his current contract ends next February and that he knows, "There's a time for me to step aside and for other guys to step up."
Strowman does seem like a natural fit to take his place as WWE's resident monster, but you have to believe there's still a lot of gas left in Big Show's tank (especially as he's currently in the best shape of his career). We'll have to wait and see what the future holds in store for him, but that big WrestleMania match he was being lined up for seemingly remains far from confirmed...
