10 WWE Superstars That Would've Thrived In The Hulkamania Era

2. The Original Wyatt Family

The similarities of the original Wyatt Family allow for Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, and of course Bray Wyatt to share the #2 entry.

The backwoods-dwelling, their unwashed appearances, the disturbing and creepy vibes they transmit, and the general darkness that follows their personas would've screamed success in or around 1991. After all, this was the year that fans accepted The Undertaker as a main-event act (including a victory over Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship). It was also the same year the beloved Jake "The Snake" Roberts showed just how dark his character was capable of getting when he replaced his late boa constrictor, Damien, with an evil King Cobra, Lucifer, that bit both The Ultimate Warrior and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

Dark characters had slowly made their way into the WWF during the final days of Hulkamania, and this would've only been boosted by the Wyatt Family. Who's to say how long a career each man would've had - or how much time each member would've remained on top - but it's almost guaranteed that Bray, Erick, and Luke would've thrived during these earlier days of WWE.

Chances are they'd have become even bigger stars then they are today.
