From Bray Wyatt and Brock Lesnar to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman has faced several top WWE Superstars over the last decade. In an exclusive interview, The Monster of All Monsters named Andre the Giant as the one legendary wrestler he wishes he could have faced.
Andre the Giant was one of wrestling's star attractions in the 1970s and 1980s. The highlight of the Frenchman's career came in 1987 when he faced Hulk Hogan in the WrestleMania 3 main event.
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, Strowman immediately mentioned the seven-foot-four icon when asked about dream opponents:
"Andre the Giant, without a doubt. Since day one, any time I've ever been asked a question like that, it's Andre because he is sports entertainment. He is WWE. We are not where we are in this industry without that man and what he did for this business." [2:50 – 3:02]
