10 WWE Champions Who Weren't Ready For The Belt
7. Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt was a rubbish Monster; a charlatan supernatural act incompatible with the chaotic system in which he entered, the rotten formula spawned bullsh*t upon bullsh*t. Wyatt referred to himself as nothing less than a God, at the onset of his nothing 2017 programme opposite Seth Rollins, but defeated him at Great Balls of Fire, with a poke to the eye, like a chickensh*t.
This was out of character, but what was Wyatt's character? Cult leader? Boogeyman? A dreadlocked, crusty update on The Miz?
Wyatt's promise as both character and performer dwindled years before his speculative, transitional WWE Championship run. The daunting agile colossus of Royal Rumble 2014, the dragon that put away Daniel Bryan in a minor classic, was iced three years later. He walked into a single RKO at WrestleMania 33, after 10 dreary minutes, despite an apparent ability to summon haunting projections through the power of his mind.
Bullsh*t upon bullsh*t, this came to fill and define Wyatt's empty rhetoric.
That one, introductory Firefly Fun House vignette revealed Wyatt's, lurking top-level inexperience throughout those years. To be blunt: his undisciplined, rambling promos mirrored his undisciplined physique. Wyatt, by the end, seemed to believe in his own myth, deeming it enough.
The man's arms are bigger than his waist in 2019. He has returned showing more fearsome horror than he ever told us - the mark of the best storytellers, optimistically.
