This is for the best. For once it’s not WWE’s fault

The man needs to be on Hollywood, he’s trying to do too much with this gimmick on a wrestling show

This. Not a Wyatt stan by any means, but the QR/White Rabbit promotion was some of the best viral work the company has ever done (though it would have worked 10x better as a TV show than in pro wrestling) and his Firefly Match with Cena at the COVIDmania was probably the best thing they had done in a while that matched the character. They could have easily replicated that style with Orton too within the Thunderdome, but they dropped the ball.

The biggest issue with Wyatt is this shyt works during pre-tapes, but falls absolutely flat in front of a live crowd. His creativity would be better suited with Impact or if another promotion launches that's similar to Lucha Underground.

Sadly there's also the case of and then the bell rings with Bray. I say this as a fan of his too. Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns were the main guys that got good matches outta Bray.

One of these days posters are going to realize that the supernatural aspect in wrestling just doesn't work in 2023 especially when said just isn't a good wrestler. I'd even go as far as arguing that Takers gimmick wouldn't necessarily work in today's age or be as be as big as it was back then.

Thats BS. Supernatural gimmicks always have and always will work when done right in wrestling.

The Undertaker gimmick worked from 91-99 and 04-He retired a couple years ago but wouldn’t work in 2023 because….?

Bray Wyatt was getting the biggest reactions last year when he appeared.

Demon Finn works.

House of Black works.

You know what those talent have working in their favor? They are above average wrestlers and don't get exposed the moment they step foot in the ring. Him getting the biggest reaction means nothing in the grand scheme of things when the outcome with his character is always the same.

A few of us even said that a months ago and that point still stands. At some point posters will have to realize that instead of making up every excuse for him.
