Overly Critical Man Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Luke Harper's reign of terror promo about ruling with fear while sitting on a throne of barbwire on RAW was infinitely more terrifying and interesting than anything Bray has said in months. Maybe he should be a cult leader. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEmanWITHnoNAME Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I don't need to see more Bray. His in ring stuff isn't fun to watch for me and his promos suck. I certainly don't need to see him feud with Ryback. Yeah...has nothing to do with WWE Creative not having a goddamn clue how to book him. And saying his promos suck proves you may have even less of a clue as WWE Creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's also a face/heel thing. WWE is a babyface-driven company. It's the role of the heel to be fed to the top face. No legit heel threats = lack of interest/backlash towards the company's appointed face. It gets old and stale if you don't mix it up. Hogan vs. Andre was huge in part because Andre was a larger than life dude who never lost. Ever. Not protecting young talent is a bad idea. They could have continued to build Rusev for a showdown with Brock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Brock taking Rusev to Suplex City wouldn't do much for protecting him either. At least Roman is pretty enough to make me feel bad about Brock busting him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Jobbing Harper and Rowan out to the Usos last year, and never giving them a tag title run when the Wyatt's were red hot was mind numbingly stupid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'll second that, and i'll also say that they should have been much more involved in the Shield/Evolution feud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loses, it's in a war. Rusev ain't that sort of monster and never was. He's a tank, that's for sure, but he just sorta lucks his way into a leaping superkick every match and locks in the Accolade. He's less Goldberg and more...I dunno, a Russian Hulk Hogan.

MORELOCK Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 And saying his promos suck proves you may have even less of a clue as WWE Creative. I'm sure the guy with the Bray Wyatt avatar is not the guy that is going to be objective about this, but Wyatt's promos are just several minutes of him rambling about nothing/saying the same things he's said for weeks. When the writers don't give him motivation or something to talk about, his promos become fast-forward material. And they kill the live crowds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned over at wrestlingforum that Bray is one of the best ever. Because it's a GOOD thing that to understand his bullshit someone else has to transcribe it so you can read over it multiple times.

Johnny Sorrow Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 To me, Bray is supposed to be a maniac who becomes obsessed with someone for his own insane reasons, gets into a feud with them, doesn't care really about losing because in his head he did some psychological damage to his obsession de jour, and then moves on. He's like a Super Villain. Dr. Doom always loses in the end but he continues on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I always thought Bray's downfall would be that he was too over-the-head for most of the WWE audience. The average neck beard doesn't get Bible references and related prophecies and vivid imagery. I love Bray because his promos are the closest thing to artistic soliloquies wrestling has ever produced. Most wrestling fans would rather scream stuff like OHYOUDIDN'TKNOW. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glfpunk Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I can't believe there are people implying that Bray Wyatt's promos are so sophisticated that they go over people's heads. Holy shit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The only people that Bray Wyatt's character went over the heads of were Vince and the WWE writing team. The fans were 100% into the Bray Wyatt gimmick before they turned him into a blowhard that couldn't back up anything he said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah I am off the Bray boat. Too many high profile losses mixed with him and WWE being sure to repeat every Bray spot everytime he is on TV and its just whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I like Bray because I think he is a good actor in a field of mediocre ones. That being said, I have a degree from one of the best religion programs in the country so I can tell you unequivocally that Bray's promos have about as much interesting bible talk as Jim Morrison's poetry. I still like his promos, I still pay attention, but let's not make him something he isn't. He's country fried Raven. People aren't tuning out because it's going over their heads, they are tuning out because it is bordering on nonsensical most of the time, and his character has a very clear pattern at this point: 1. Appear on screen 2. Cut promo that could be about anyone. 3. Cut the same promo. 4. Narrow is down slightly 5. Attack said person in ring after the lights go out. 6. Win/lose at a ppv. 7. Do the opposite of the ppv result on a Raw. 8. Repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
