Braun Strowman popped off on social media and really caused controversy. The Monster Among Men said that if indie wrestlers are out of work and broke, then they need to find other professions.

The coronavirus pandemic hit indie wrestling hard. A lot of people didn’t like hearing that comment from Strowman at all.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned those comments from Strowman. It was said that some people in the locker room explained the situation to him.

Braun Strowman doesn’t come from the pro wrestling world. He was a strongman who was signed to WWE. He learned how to be a wrestler at the WWE Performance Center. He doesn’t know what it is like to struggle on the indies.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
