WWE’s 10 Worst Choke Artists

7. Bray Wyatt

Here's hoping Bray Wyatt can use his magical powers to disappear for good one of these days, because as well as being WWE's worst modern creation, he's also the company's most reliable loser.

The only thing more dispiriting than one of Wyatt's all-to-regular is the literal hold he puts on the crowd every time one of his big matches has to go over ten minutes. Randy Orton is guilty enough of deathly dull affairs himself, but it was hard to complain when he abandoned months of planning, some soul-selling and even casual arson to polish off the 'Eater Of Worlds' in just over ten minutes with a single RKO at WrestleMania 33.

All fart and no sh*te (which is ironic considering the mean quality average of his matches over the past four years), Wyatt has talked his way into comprehensive defeats by Roman Reigns, John Cena, The Undertaker, Finn Bálor and numerous other actual stars that have to suffer months of his utter nonsense on television just to steal an easy win when they eventually do battle.

Here's to a rounding out the year with Wyatt possibly squeezing cheap victories when it totally doesn't matter out of countless midcarders, before backdooring into yet another Royal Rumble or WrestleMania card just so the company can take brand new arty shots of everybody's iPhone torches for the Network advertisements.
