10 Wrestlers That Can't Exist In Real Life

Sigh.

At the prospect of welcoming yet more rage from Bray Wyatt's incredibly dedicated fanbase, here's some criticism that comes with some objective evidence. Almost all of the gimmick is irredeemable bullsh*t that survives because standards are lower.Wyatt could and does exist in the real world, as highlighted by him celebrating the safe arrival of his child in full Fiend get-up, but should he? And isn't this just part of the wider problem with comparisons made to The Undertaker of old, or castigations of WWE not "getting" this gimmick when Wyatt himself could probably do with rethinking it too.

The Fiend/Mr Rogers stuff was a chance at a second life, but Windham Rotunda is more than happy to park the persona at the door and WWE were over-keen to monetise it to actual death the (far too early) second he became Universal Champion.

Ultimately, they get to get rich and win, even if the character will forever be one of the biggest losers on the show.
