WWE: 10 Reasons Why Bray Wyatt Is The Next Undertaker

4. They Both Have Disciples

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEOR3ppoY0E Onscreen, The Undertaker has been a solitary creature for most of his career, preferring either his own company or that of Paul Bearer. But he's always implied that he had followers, his "Creatures Of The Night". Plus, there's those druids that have appeared randomly throughout the years, and most importantly in the late '90s, there was his Ministry Of Darkness. This year-long storyline saw The Undertaker become the leader of a dark, satanic-influenced cult. He would abduct his fellow superstars, brainwash them and rechristen them in his image. They would beat down the rest of the roster, they would terrorise the McMahons, and they seemed firmly under the control of 'Taker.
Wyatt, too, has his disciples. Prior to his debut, vignettes were aired, showing him preaching to people from on high in Louisiana backwoods. Even the word "family" in their name evokes images of the Manson Family in the '60s, brainwashed to follow on to their leader's every word. We see the blank, expressionless, wild eyes of Harper and Rowan, and we know that Bray controls them fully. They too have kidnapped their fellow performers, they too have brainwashed them into their way of thinking (or seemed to at one point, anyway). He brainwashes the audience into seeing things his way, happily leading them along with the slightest prompts.
