10 Times WWE Was Totally Better Than Your Fantasy Booking

10. Bray Wyatt

Your Fantasy Booking:

Restore the Wyatt Family!

Why not? The faction was never allowed to live up to its awesome potential as a Universe-imploding force. By scorching the rest of the roster to such a disturbing, all-encompassing extent, a hero could emerge from its ashes, just by braving the fight. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were squandered completely in the aftermath, and Wyatt's (few) wins felt tainted with cheap parlour tricks in place of their awesome destruction. Stables rule as a rule of thumb, and WWE pissed one of the better ones away faster than you can say BLEH, or whatever the f*ck that sting was phonetically.

WWE's Real Booking:

WWE realised Wyatt was even more dead than his dead sister after being incinerated by Randy Orton, and removed him from television to remove the stench from him. WWE selected a better armchair booker than you or I to map his return: Bray Wyatt himself, who spent his hiatus catching the big fish. And he caught it by crafting a character with a Lynchian ability to unsettle, insofar as pro wrestling goes: the gloriously off-kilter comedy (!) enriched the Fiend, which Wyatt was clever enough to grasp needed the absurd levity to accentuate the darkness.

Creation through destruction, the Fiend works so well because he didn't restore himself: he buried himself, a corpse, in so much more entertaining a way than WWE ever did.
