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

Possibly the worst thing about Bray Wyatt is the haphazard promo style that so rarely provides substance behind the symbolism.

If a viewer is to cling on the bedrock of Sports Entertainment actually being the sporting contest, Bray is a complete and utter failure. Possibly the biggest on the roster (more on that later). But the 'entertainment' he brings to the pursuit should, in theory, absolve his shoddy record in how the character he portrays verbally torments the souls of his oppressors.

It doesn't, though. Nothing does. His promos are a series of loose ends, buzzwords and whatever he cribbed from a thesaurus an hour or so before recording a pre-tape in a dimly lit broom closet somewhere in the arena.

Veiled threats towards his opponents are so veiled they end up not actually being threats, and if they are, you'll need some sort of bullsh*t-to-English detector to figure out what he's getting at.

It's all well and good to tiptoe around the occult, the other-worldly and the mysterious. But without focus, it's pure nonsense.

He's a cliché-spouting back-water malcontent, but that was readily apparent from the vignettes that aired before he even appeared. There has been not a shred of development through the hours (and hours) of verbiage that have been suffered through since.
