Strowman, wearing a No.99 Packers jersey in the video, said one of the late victims was a fan of his … and wished to meet Braun, but that never happened.
The boots, modeled after Braun’s conventional WWE footwear, are the Packers’ colors — dark green and gold — and feature the iconic “G” logo on the side.
Back in 2021, a man drove an SUV through a crowd at the annual Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin … killing six people and injuring 62 others.
Police arrested Darrell Brooks and charged him with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide. Brooks was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole last November.
The former WWE champ said the custom Packers boots would be auctioned off … and all proceeds would be donated to the Waukesha Christmas Parade Foundation.
“At the end of the day, I want to leave the world a little better than I found it, and each of you can help do that right now. Thank you.”
