It is no surprise that the average male pro-wrestle measures over 6 feet in height. The WWE, however, has had the service of some of the tallest performers in the world. From Andre the Giant to The Great Khali, these giants have grabbed the attention of spectators and the WWE Universe with their height. In kayfabe, they are capable enough of doing absurd things. Meanwhile, in reality, these giants are human too, perhaps a little more muscular and gifted than the average human being. They are prone to failure as well.

When a 6 feet 8 inches giant lost an arm wrestling match, fans took to social media to troll the big fellow.

As an athlete weighing 385 lbs and measuring 6 feet 8 inches, 39-year-old Braun Strowman is referred to as ‘The Monster Among Men’ in WWE. During his initial run in the main roster, Strowman worked as part of The Wyatt Family as the Black Sheep. Later, he established himself as a formidable force, even winning the Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34. His in-ring persona is of a man possessing impressive strength.

Naturally, when a clip showed Strowman losing an arm wrestling match against Devon Larratt, fans poked holes at the former's on-screen portrayal.

This user brought up Strowman's Superman tattoo on his dominant right hand. He implied that even the ‘strongest man on the planet’ couldn't save him from the loss.

So much for that Superman tattoo 😂

Another user made fun of his larger-than-life moniker.

This user questioned the technique (or the lack of it).

With arm wrestling there is a specific grip/technique that can cause this Braun definitely isn't not strong.

He flips a semi but can't win an arm wrestle, also gets mad when people try to expose his real height 😂 @Adamscherr99

That's not Braun, that's just Adam. Braun would've ran a few circles around the arm wrestling platform and then flip over an ambulance or some shit.

The event took place at Joe Weider's Olympia weekend in 2021. While fans mocked the WWE superstar, it is important to note that his opponent wasn't a random stranger. Devon Larratt is a former arm-wrestling world champion, who is a legend in his own right. In fact, Strowman was able to beat him during their first match, while Larratt managed to defeat the 39-year-old in the second battle.

And while he may have copped criticism from fans for losing an arm wrestling match, Strowman is more than it meets the eye.

Shortly before WrestleMania 39, the former WWE Universal Champion revealed that he now owns a peanut butter company by the name of Crusher Nuts. Strowman said he named the company after his father, Rick ‘The Crusher’ Scherr.

"We do gourmet peanut butter. There is nothing healthy about it. It's not going to make you look like me, I’m sorry, but it's going to make you feel like me; happy, jovial, and loving life," he told The Ringer Wrestling Show podcast.

The company currently makes three flavors- Cookies and Cream, Cereal S’mores, and Crusher Cookie. However, Strowman asked consumers to wait for new flavors. "I have 39 flavors that I can do," he said.
