10 Current WWE Superstars That Belong In Another Era

10. Bray Wyatt - Mid-1990s WWF

As WWE's 1980s boom almost became a complete bust in the 1990s, Vince McMahon had far too many extra-curricular distractions clouding his fragile reputation as a wrestling visionary. From scandals around steroids, sex, and steroids again, to his noisy neighbours from WCW suddenly becoming quite the southern discomfort, McMahon was dragged from pillar to post like a knowing babyface in a strap match.

It's at least some rational explanation for the horrendous cast of characters he plugged countless roster gaps with whilst Bret Hart, The Undertaker and The Kliq tried to maintain order at the top of the card.

Bray Wyatt's 2012 NXT arrival was glowingly compared to one of 1995's long-considered missed opportunities. In Waylon Mercy, McMahon had stumbled upon a gimmick with far more nuance than the smoke and strobes of the time supplied. The beauty was sadly only skin deep - Danny Spivey was no longer the fit physical specimen required to carry the persona beyond a painfully short six months on the show.

'The New Face Of Fear' was thus both a welcome reboot and revelatory reinvention. Husky Harris had been swallowed whole by the 'Eater Of Worlds', shortly before the WWE machine would again do the same to Wyndham Rotunda.

Bray's career has since become the saddest running joke despite the faintest of flashes that a main eventer might lurk underneath. More desperate times may have afforded the desperate measures needed to offer him much more than he ended up with.
