WWE - Braun Strowman

The Steve Austin Show recently interviewed WWE Superstar Braun Strowman. Below are some highlights from the interview (transcript credit via WrestlingInc.com).

Strowman on his connection with Bray Wyatt: “Bray and I have had a special connection, I think, ever since we met. He [has] kind of wanted me since the first time he saw me because him and I, in real life, it’s almost scary how much we are alike. He calls me Evil Windham because I pretty much do all the stuff he doesn’t do, which is nothing really. But he [has] wanted me since day one and he was ecstatic when he found out, ‘here, we’re going to give you this guy and I know you’ve been wanting him, so let’s see what happens.'”

Strowman on getting advice from Wyatt: “I can’t put over the fact [enough], like, how much of a factor Bray has been in my [professional wrestling] career. It was kind of almost heartbreaking that they split us up because we ride together, we room together, we eat together, and we lift together. We’d make towns and he’d talk about wrestling and tells me what I did that night that looked good, what sucked, what I needed to throw away, what I needed to keep. And then, he gives me matches to watch and ‘pick through this and let me know what you think about this’ and ‘here, oh man, I saw a new idea for a move’. I can’t put over the fact about how good of a brother Bray Wyatt is.”
