I can't stop laughing at Braun dragging Kallisto around the hall way like he was Barry Allen

People always underestimate how important Show, Kane and Henry are/were and why replacing them is just as important as replacing guys like Cena and Styles (eventually). Even booked at their weakest it was easy to make them credible threats as face or heel within WEEKS with even a small push. Easy to slot into any spots, good filler feuds for all level of champion and good transitional heel champions. Strowman is going to be on that level. Corbin could too IF they keep going in the right direction with him.
A Corbin vs an in shape Kane could be great if Kane loses the election. Same purpose and Kane would get him over.

Yes. They HAVE to replace those guys. They need filler guys who don't need months of work and storylines to get over. So many guys were able to cook in the midcard because Kane/Henry/Show were there to be monster of the month to a champion. And it's easy to use them to put over younger guys because you can rebuild them over and over again.

Agree 100%. Braun's already getting to that big time level, just need them to keep booking Corbin strong, start building Harper (though Harper is already older, and needs something much faster), and I've been paying attention to Braun's homie Dylan Miles in NXT. I think he has something too. Rowan...ehhhhh....he's been eating more pins than the Mean Street Posse did.

Realistically Bray Wyatt fit that mold but he isn't physically intimidating enough. They struck out on reliable monsters during the ruthless agression era (snitsky, heidenrich, etc)

Reliable monsters; perfect name. Realistically, Roman is more a reliable monster than a superstar IMO. They need to realize what he is and book accordingly. I forgot about Luke but yes, he fits the mold too. Corbin, Luke and Roman need to be the next projects. Roman is pretty much there, they just need to give up on him being THE guy.
