WWE's 53 Wrestlers Ranked From Worst To Best
41. Eric Rowan
Pros:
1. Big
2. Intimidating
3. Makes his own wine, apparently
Cons:
1. Was the least skilled and popular of the Wyatt Family
2. WWE stopped caring about his singles push before it was even off the ground
3. Gets virtually no reaction from the audience, even in big matches
Eric Rowan was first known as the creepy guy who always wore a sheep mask, and the only word he ever said was, “Run”. With or without the mask, Rowan has always been an intimidating Superstar who looked like something straight out of a low-budget horror flick.
Unfortunately, Rowan couldn’t keep any of that intrigue going for him once the Wyatt Family was disbanded. While Harper enjoyed some success as a hired gun for the Authority, Rowan was left with virtually nothing.
There were some backstage segments where WWE tried to build him up as this genius vintner, but that lasted all of three weeks before the powers that be gave up on him and he started wrestling in thrown together matches with no rhyme or reason behind them.
Even though he was the least-impressive of the Wyatt Family in terms of wrestling ability, he could still find a role as a mid-card big guy. All he needs is a decent gimmick and some storyline progression. If only WWE could un-clutter their creative direction and pay attention to people outside of the main event picture.
Final Rating: **
