10 Booking Steps For Turning Bray Wyatt Into A New Undertaker

7. Selective History

Normally I€™m not one to support WWE€™s tendency to erase and modify certain parts of their own history for some political gain in the present, but I'm willing to make an exception. A major aspect of presenting Bray Wyatt as a new threat on the same level as the Undertaker would be for them to either conceal or eliminate the more underwhelming parts of Bray€™s history on the main roster. This would include: every major loss in his career, every time he walked away from an opponent (despite having the numbers advantage), and every time an opponent either got the upper hand against him or made a fool out of him. WWE have done this before on many occasions by pretending that certain wrestlers€™ low points never took place. Most people have forgotten that both Cena and Lesnar have given up in the past, or that the Undertaker had several low points in his career (Muhammed Hassan storyline, feuds with lumbering giants, and, in Vince€™s mind, the American Badass). The same thing needs to happen to Wyatt: WWE has to remove and/or convince fans to forget about the low points in his career. Though it might not work on older and more eagle-eyed fans, for the casual viewer, seeing a character like Wyatt exclusively in a positive light would only help improve their perceptions of him.
