Ryback hasn't made me laugh since doing that Twitter poll about where he should go and Retire getting the most votes easily

For all anyone could say about Braun,

Being an ex-WWE champ that still didn't matter at all to the indies,
being a WWE diehard that was willing to stand up for them at all costs (somehow even moreso than the insane thread fans we have) that still couldn't save his job during a plague,
signing with (whether he had to or wanted to) the newest and lowest-rent name indie that doesn't even technically have matches according to themselves,
immediately loving up in his first live appearance there and almost hurting a fan,
then getting into a Twitter fight with Buff loving Bagwell, and losing even that too,

is funny as hell

What a time for content

The bolded would have probably mattered if Braun hadn't been asking for, what I remember hearing was, an insane asking price to book him on a show and the requirement to win all of his matches and the promotions' top belt or some dumb poo poo. I don't know how much of that is actually true, but he's dumb enough that I can believe all of it.

He has literally done nothing but big time anything outside of the fed since before he got fired.

Except for CYN which feels like an exclamation point to the vibe he gives off

I don't think Braun signed with CYN from his tweets I think he's actually funding it.

I mean they already have the weird "We watched 10,000 hours of Fight Club but never picked up the actual message of the movie" energy, the inexplicable nutrition side-grift, the constant "I am being SILENCED" narrative.

That was TNA, and he also had a list of ex-WWE guys he wouldn't lose to

I 100% believe he learned the term "puppet master" from Metallica and thinks they invented it. He also thinks the Puppet Master film series is produced by Metallica.

he used to be able to say dumb poo poo on twitter and still have the wwe machine behind him promoting him so he'd always have a built in audience

now he's on his own and burning potential bridges by not being able to control his own narrative

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I thought maybe this was just performatively dumb at the beginning, now I realize it's the regular kind of dumb.

Braun's career trajectory is wild, from one of WWE's golden boys to a complete outcast from independent wrestling within 2 years. And it's all his fault, too, that's the best part. He probably thought he was safe in the WWE forever and could poo poo on people who needed help, and now look at him.

I think its really impressive because its not booze or drugs, he's just a naturally distilled idiot.
