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

Possibly the worst thing about Bray Wyatt is how how shoddy his WrestleMania record is despite only being around for four thus far.

Comparisons to The Undertaker were destined to be moment Bray first appeared on WWE television. The spooky appearance, an arena plunged into darkness, and even mythical powers beyond comprehension from his contemporaries on the roster.

Indeed, the two were inexorably linked, with Wyatt looking set to carry on Undertaker's legacy long after a departure that appeared closer with every aching joint 'The Deadman' appeared to nurse.

Their WrestleMania 31 contest seemed rather hasty then, particularly as it marked the first appearance of the 'Deadman' since defeat to Brock Lesnar one year earlier had rocked the entire industry. In defence of Wyatt, he worked as hard as possible to build intrigue in the contest, and didn't deserve the cold despatch he suffered (in daylight, no less), at the San Jose 'Show of Shows'.

It would be the second consecutive damp squib for Bray at WrestleMania, with a pattern that hasn't improved since.

Left off the card for his own good at WrestleMania 32, the Family combination of Wyatt, Strowman and Erick Rowan were verbally and physically decimated by The Rock, and the less said about his disgraceful WWE Title snoozer with Randy Orton this year, the better.

It's fitting really. A character this dead shouldn't be anywhere near a 'Showcase of the Immortals'.
