Braun Strowman Comments on “Sometimes The Scripts Sucked” in WWE

The Hollywood Reporter held a recent interview with former WWE wrestler Braun Strowman. One of the topics discussed included Strowman’s thoughts about his past time in WWE and his frustrations at times with the creative process in the company.

“For me, the big eye-opening thing was not having my hands tied. They’ve allowed me to be me, whereas my hands were tied creatively for the last 12 years (in WWE), and while that’s not a bad thing — I was very blessed with what I got to do — but at the end of the day, I was playing a character on a show, and sometimes the script sucked. I mean, no offense, I hated it, but I had to go in there and make the best of it because that was my job. Well, now with this opportunity… my creative input is welcomed, it’s not dismissed.”
