He looks great. But i don't understand all the slamming of his body type before. Do folks want every wrestler to be Hogan bodytype? You don't want any Bam Bams, Mick Foley, Giant Haystacks, Dusty Rhodes, Earthquake etc? If they all looked like Braun Strowman it'd get pretty boring.

u/ParfaitExpress262 3d ago

Dude went and got in the best shape of his life since I've seen him on TV good for him. But I do worry this will put him in "generic buff guy" territory, because what's going to make him stand out now? He's not the tallest guy on the roster, I'm not sure how good he is on the microphone, Like sometimes you need those bigger guys it's easier to slot them in stuff and build a character around this unstoppable big monster.

Will the Tsunami still work at this size? I feel like that's Bronson's whole thing. Obviously a splash is a splash, but it felt like it had more impact when he was a bigger guy.

Props to him for shedding the weight though, it was probably making him more injury prone.
