Braun was a genuine favorite of the fans. Everything about him fascinated them, from his in-ring ability to his promo ability, he was one of the reasons why people tuned in to watch WWE.

In the “Wrestling Observer Newsletter“, Dave Meltzer has stated that Braun’s contract played a significant part in his release. He explained,
“His salary worked against him and one person noted he made a huge mistake in negotiations because when he signed his new deal, he was considered a hot commodity and if he pushed for it, probably could have gotten a no-cut contract that a few of the bigger names have.”
