Braun Strowman was recently interviewed by Metro. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his career in WWE so far. One of these topics was about his relationship with Vince McMahon.
Braun has been on the receiving end of a major push from WWE over the past year. Strowman revealed during the interview that Vince has been very hands on with him and has taken him as his project.
Here is what he said:
“Some of the big crazy spots happen when I get there and they tell me this is what we’re going to do tonight. But a lot of it is a team effort. We sit down with the producers, my opponent, Vince comes out, there’s a lot of minds involved in doing these kind of things. That’s why they’ve come off so well this year, because it’s not just a one-sided idea that someone has, it’s a collaboration of great minds that have been doing this stuff for a long time. We have an unbelievable stunts and special effects crew. Everyone has their input. At the end of the day, a lot of it is Vince, he is very hands on with me and has taken me on as his project. He has some crazy ideas and I’ve never once questioned anything that Vince has wanted me to do, because I know he wouldn’t ask me to do something he wouldn’t do himself”
Braun continued, talking more about their relationship:

“Vince is very keen on the larger than life human beings, especially because of the shock and awe value. Even before I was a WWE Superstar, when I walk into a room I don’t care who is in there, I take focal point. People stop what they’re doing to look at me when I walk in, and now they can put a name to it. That’s been a huge factor in WWE since the beginning of the company. It’s a huge favour for me that I’m larger than life and having these genetics and the look that Vince likes. But it’s more than a look, there’s a lot of guys that look big and tough but being able to put that into play in WWE is difficult. Being able to go out there night after night and work with people and not injuring and hurting people, that was a big thing when I first came in that I had beat into my head from developmental. I have to be one big strong rough and tough guy, but at the same time, I have to be safe. If I’m not safe no-one is going to want to work for me. Vince has seen how hard I want to be good at this, and how much I want to succeed. I’m going to be a WWE Hall of Famer when it’s all said and done, in my mind that’s what I want to do. I want to main event Wrestlemania, and I think that shows through to Vince, and is why he’s been in my corner, because he knows I want to be the best I can be. I’m not a fly by night guy, I want to be remembered forever as Braun Strowman, the monster among men.”
