Once of the hottest acts as 2014 began was the Wyatt Family, a Southern backwoods mini-cult. They delivered in the ring, and their leader, Bray Wyatt, certainly brought the goods on the microphone. The group was a little directionless and had a failed attempt at converting Daniel Bryan, but the members remained extremely popular and loaded with potential. Then came John Cena. The Cena/Wyatt feud sucked the life out of Bray, with Wyatt losing at WrestleMania XXX (a good match, but one that Cena certainly didnt need to win). Wyatt won a steel cage match with the help of his stablemates and a demonic-voiced child, but then lost the decisive Last Man Standing match (another good match). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR6yVUxXnyA The feud had the potential to elevate Bray as a main event player, but by losing more often than he won, Wyatt looked more like a rest stop in Cenas career before he won world title #15. Thankfully, Bray looks like hes reinvigorated by his feud with Dean Ambrose, but the Cena feud was a definite downer.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
