One would think that someone like Braun Strowman doesnt have many fears. That didnt stop the Monster Among Monsters from suffering from a panic attack due to his rising star.
Braun Strowman recently opened up about the mental toll of fame while appearing on the Bert Kreischer podcast. During the conversation, Strowman discussed how being a physically large person already brought attention long before he became a WWE star.
Once Braun Strowman started appearing on television weekly, that attention increased and led to situations he was not prepared to handle. Obviously, its harder to hide as a monster like that.
Coming from a small town, the shift from a private life to being recognized in public created moments of intense anxiety. Braun Strowman explained that crowds and constant interactions sometimes pushed him into panic, requiring him to leave situations before they escalated.
Braun Strowmans comments are interesting, because he shares a common experience with many people who get fame quickly. This also shed light on the mental health challenges that can come with rapid fame in professional wrestling. Someone can go from being invisible to unavoidable overnight, and that is quite a transition.
WWE doesnt have Braun Strowman on their roster as an active Superstar anymore. That wont stop him from carrying the WWE banner, especially with his muckbang inspired television show where he eats everything in sight.
