16 Revelations From The FalconArrow's WWE Reddit AMA
1. Vince McMahon Thinks That Bray Wyatt Is Already The New Undertaker
The most eye-opening revelation in the entire thread had nothing to do with Reigns, or Cena, or anyone you’d expect. When asked why the Wyatt Family are booked like a joke, falconarrow’s reply was:
"Because Vince thinks he made another Undertaker so he uses them to make others look strong. Truth is he made Papa Shango 2. This makes me sad."
Aside from the accurate description of Wyatt's role in 2016, that’s… stunning. Vince McMahon, after all, is the guy that made the Undertaker. He’s the guy that told the roster that the big guy wasn’t to leave his feet, that had him on two separate winning streaks to cement his rep and protect his gimmick before the WrestleMania Streak was even a real thing, much less a storyline.
The Wyatts, on the other hand, have almost uniformly been booked to lose their most important matches and to look like fools in their most important storylines. The fact that McMahon thinks Bray Wyatt is his new Undertaker, despite having given Windham Rotunda none of the creative protection he afforded Mark Calaway in the early nineties is the clearest indication that he’s lost the plot in his old age.
Happily, when asked whether there are plans for the Wyatt Family heading out of WrestleMania season, falconarrow tried to remain optimistic.
“Hard to say, I read what they are doing with them tonight and to be honest it intrigues me. Its a different direction which is new and I think could be beneficial for them.”
On the night after they were put down and treated like children by The Rock and John Cena, the Wyatt Family attacked heel stable the League Of Nations. Is this the beginning of a babyface turn for the faction? Bray Wyatt’s an easy guy to cheer, given his obvious talent and mic skills, and he was close to being cheered in 2014 and 2015, despite playing an apocalyptically sinister villain.
Perhaps our mysterious insider is right… perhaps this is the angle that finally turns the corner for Wyatt and his crew. And a hardhitting feud with three hugely talented performers could elevate the Wyatts and give the League back some of the missing credibility they need to appear formidable again.
Win-win? In these 50/50 times? I’m all for that.
