10 Reasons Why Bray Wyatt Is WWE’s Worst Modern Creation

8. The Wrestler

Possibly the worst thing about Bray Wyatt is what a desperately uninteresting performer he is when the bell rings.

It was problematic from the moment his debut contest with Kane began, and it has followed him throughout the entirety of his troubled run ever since.

Seemingly in order to try and keep the athleticism in tune with the persona, the speed and agility shown from the tank-like Husky Harris was dropped for a deliberately slow pace that has been considered unacceptable since The Undertaker was dragging the a*se out of televised squash matches in the early 90s.

He's shown he can be carried in matches with Daniel Bryan and...Daniel Bryan, but outside of those fleeting moments, he's offered nothing that allows the viewer to get excited about the actual contest he spouts weeks-worth of mumbo jumbo attempting to promote.

It's a particularly troubling indictment on Bray himself, considering his pedigree and time spent in the industry navigating through Florida Championship Wrestling, NXT and his original spell on the main roster.

Worst of all, the complete silence most of his matches are greeted with murders any aura the story may have created. He is, at best, a heel that bores crowds after a spectacular entrance. That level of performance can simply not continue to command the television time it does.
