Bray Wyatt getting over is more important than Daniel Bryan or any other star in the past ten years

WWE now has a legit character that only wrestling and special tv shows/movies can make and they have to not fukk this up.

Bryan, Punk, Becky all got overly in a major way and people love those stories and characters but at he end of the day, wrestling will always be a carny story masking itself as a legit sport. In its heyday, you could get a Steve Austin, the rock, hbk who were larger than life but still realistic. But guys like Undertaker, Kane, Mankind had the elements that balance out the realistic shyt the other guys got to do. Bray is legit the first supernatural character/monster they have made in a long time. Complex background, room to play him serious and comical but with the right build up make him credible as hell. “The Demon” was a half way thing and they never really made it make sense where as Bray and The Fiend has big deal feel every-time they have used him so far.

shyt has me intrigued tbh

So uh...what's the progression from cult leader weirdo to the same guy but without a cult and doing weird stuff with Matt Hardy to going missing for a year to being Pee Wee Herman to a member of Slipknot?

What was the progression from being a guy that did submissions, then a guy who grew a beard and yelled one word, to a guy who started yelling the opposite of that word, to a guy who went back to saying that first word, to a guy who kept getting hurt, to a guy that doesn’t eat meat?

Ok how about another example?

First the guy was Jamaican, then he wasn’t, then he was mad at orton, then he wasn’t, then he made some friends, then he twerked, then he won the wwe title

My point is, see how easy it is to generalize a character arc? Name another wrestler and I can do what stro did. My whole point is wwe has always had compelling characters that only it could really create for a live show. Real sports can’t turn Shaq in to a demon. Tom Brady can’t become a robot. And only certain shows and movie characters can rival the characters wwe can make. The Fiend could be a horror movie or superhero villain and he is on wwe. Imagine if Thanos was a wwe character or the joker in this world where Irish whips exist and everybody can superkick? It brings that “you can only get this from us” vibe.

Undertaker last how many years as essentially a zombie kind of evil priest kind of devil worshipper guy who could randomly make lightning appear and literally bury people alive
