10 Wrestling Matches That Pissed Off Fans

4. Bray Wyatt Vs. Randy Orton - Payback 2017

An alternative title for this list is '10 Times Bray Wyatt Wrestled'.

That's harsh, and much of this b*llocks was thrust upon him, one suspects, but Christ almighty has there ever existed a notable, well-protected WWE wrestler with quite as many duds to their name?

Aside from Triple H, of course. Oh, and the Undertaker.

But at least their main event runs were wildly uneven. They were capable of true greatness. Bray Wyatt worked two great matches, and both of them were against Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan could work a great match with Linda McMahon.

Bray Wyatt contrived to wrestle a match that pissed off the fans in the arena that wasn't even worked in the arena; at Payback 2017, he led Randy Orton into the darkest suburbs of his psyche or some bullsh*t in a silly, drab walk-and-brawl through the titular 'House of Horrors'.

'House of Horrors' man, f*ck. What was the address? 666 Scary Lane, Halloweentown? What did Randy Orton say to the limo driver?

"Can you take me to the House of Horrors please? Yeah it's just a few miles up the highway, take the exit "I can't believe I have to work this f*cker again in three years".

The fans in the SAP Center chanted "Boring" very loudly because they had no clue why they had to endure a cinematic match years before a global pandemic.

But they also chanted "Boring" very loudly because it was f*cking sh*t.
