Kinda wished they saved that spot for the PPV, but I guess that means they intend to top it at No Mercy~...

Bork Lazer can also do other slams and throws!^^

Brock sold that perfectly.

One of my grudges against Cena and Reigns and others in WWE is that nobody is ever shaken or rattled anymore. Everybody just takes everything in stride and acts too damn "cool" to be bothered by anything.

Just Brocks reaction to Strowman no selling his German Suplex added SO much more to this than if he had just ignored it.

There is a time to no sell and there is a time to sell.

I liken it to back in 2000, with Mankind unmasking to become Cactus Jack while HHH stared in horror. If he had just smugged it off it would have been just a dude in a shirt revealing he was wearing a shirt underneath, but he was rattled and its one of my favourite moments in wrestling.

I was just about to make the same comparison Flubs.

Triple H selling that Cactus Jack reveal was perfect, it made people realize that, if they hadn't seen him before, that there was something about Cactus Jack that was dangerous, to where, even if Triple H had beaten up Mankind, he was SCARED of Cactus Jack.

Nobody shows fear anymore, and sometimes, fear is the best reaction to show to sell someone and get someone over. If Brock had just kept attacking, it would have been "Meh, Brock can still get him"

but that face? It showed Brock, while maybe not scared, is certainly unnerved by Strowman. That face just cemented, without a doubt, that Brock has NEVER faced ANYONE like Braun Strowman before, and it's possible he just doesn't have an answer to him.

What I don't get is how WWE can play Brauns strengths up so perfectly that he's the single best and most over star they have on Raw right now, but they browbeat and tear apart other potential main stars over and over till their credibility is gone.

This may be beating a dead horse again, but maybe because he is so much larger than even the biggest other guy except for the Big Show and rather easy to book with simple measures? I mean just look at the man, he is more than credible in the eyes of everyone to challenge even the hardest opponent or the most sly heel by sheer force and resilience. Fans want to cheer for him when he beats the shit out of Roman Reigns, drags Kalisto behind him as if he is a sack of potatoes or crashes the ring with Big Show. Despite all his professed opnenness, Vince McMahon will never fully let go of his big man obsession and sometimes even put this over the marketing guy Roman Reigns.

If it would be possible to have a classic bodybuilder physique at this height and Braun Strowman could also bring this to the table it would probably be the Braun Strowman featuring RAW show.^^

I wanted to point out how many anime signs there were...I saw Dragon maid loli shouting "I'm not finished with you!" and a sign saying "4 Star Summon" For fate GO XD, I also heard of a Hero Academia sign XD

Tbf they've been smart about Braun like that for awhile. Like when he was no selling chair shots and Roman looked stunned as hell.
