Strowman Says He Is A "Sponge" When It Comes To Wrestling

Strowman says he learns a lot from other wrestlers. 

In an interview on Busted Open Radio, Braun Strowman discussed how he got to WWE, his experience at developmental, and his goals as a WWE wrestler. Co-Host Dave LaGreca asked Strowman if he was a sponge in the locker room and if that has effected his career. Strowman said he listens well when around other wrestlers.

"I'm still a sponge. I learn something every time I get around the boys. I get a chance to go out and work; I learn something new.  That's what is so awesome about this industry. It's always evolving. So, you have to keep up with the pace," said Strowman. "A big aspect in this is 'shut your mouth and open your ears' because these guys have done everything," he added. 

Strowman also mentioned Mark Henry, Big Show, and Kane as some of the guys from which he learned. He said he would be foolish to not listen to them because of the "wealth of knowledge" they possess and it only helps his own career.

Strowman will be wrestling in the Elimination Chamber match on Sunday at WWE Elimination Chamber. Fightful will have live coverage and a recapping podcast after the pay-per-view.
