10 Worst-Booked WWE Stars EVER

1. Bray Wyatt

It isn't over until the fat lady sings, as the adage goes. It's just as well that the mumps forced Bray Wyatt from the TLC '17 card. A bad-taste, morbidly hilarious catastrophe may have finally compelled fans to stop getting their phones out. As it happens, most seem to recognise that the Wyatt character is irredeemable, but the office still receives the Wyatt signal as a sign that he is a star.

Excellent. Productive.

Rather less excellent is the manner in which Wyatt has been booked throughout his WWE career; from promising Southern Gothic cult leader to Super Goofy send-up of various horror movies, it is impossible to remember that there was once something genuinely chilling about the act. WWE ruined this mystique to the point of abject hilarity through jobbing out on pay-per-view a man capable of summoning holograms and hellfire. A man capable of controlling minds. A man capable of teleportation. Wyatt is a virtuoso guitar player without an amplifier. He is an artist without a brush. He is a porn star without...

He cannot win important wrestling matches. He has supernatural powers, and he holds a 50/50 booking record. And, as each parlour trick is rendered more laughable than the last, the sound of laughter once creepy becomes all the more ironic.
