8 Wrestlers WWE Pushed In The WORST Way Possible

Bray Wyatt suffered WWE creative not understanding his vision like few others in company history. His initial run worked so well because pro wrestling had never seen a horror-driven backwater character that had more in common with the grizzled protagonists of The Devil's Rejects and Wolf Creek than it did dry ice and Papa Shango-style shenanigans. Wyatt was forced to go back to the drawing board after WWE's main roster crashed this character into a wall, and he did so with aplomb with 'The Fiend'.

'The Fiend' was a macabre menace who debuted with superb, sinister vignettes and squashing Finn Balor in a devastating and visceral manner. It felt as though this was surely going to be Wyatt's time to shine, but WWE creative's fundamental inability to sell a horror-led character intervened in infuriating fashion.

Wyatt was part of one of the worst pro wrestling matches in modern history, losing to Seth Rollins via stoppage at Hell In A Cell, before being handed a cartoonish mallet that made him seem like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon more than a member of Slipknot. To add insult to injury, this masked menace was then booked to lose the Universal Championship by jobbing to a 53-year old Goldberg in less than 3 minutes.
