That would be a new one. Every now and then, you will come across a wrestler who seems destined to become the new biggest star in the company but for one reason or another, it just does not pan out that way. That can make things all the more frustrating as you can see the potential there but it just might not happen. Sometimes they get a consolation prize though, and in a current case, it is one heck of a gimmick.
Braun Strowman was recently interviewed by Game Stop and talked about an idea that he had for a spot in a battle royal. Strowman, who is known for lifting and flipping almost everything put in front of him, has pitched an idea where he lifts the ring up during a battle royal to eliminate everyone else to win the match. The idea does not seem to have ever been seriously considered.
Strowman likes to break things. Check out some of his more famous destructions:
Opinion: Is this really the worst idea in the world? If Strowman can lift up an ambulance then lifting a ring isn’t the biggest stretch. I’m sure WWE can figure out a way to make it happen and in a match at the end of a show or something, it could be quite the visual. If you can set something up that could work, why not give it a shot? It would certainly be something on the highlight reels for a long time to come.
Do you like this idea? Will WWE ever try something like this? Let us know in the comments below.
