Deal is Bray is one of the FEW to survive a Cena feud without falling apart. Do we need to remember what has happened to every other heel that feuded with Cena?

The win at RR and then the build to Wrestlemania could of built him back up as gaining his evil supernatural mojo and could of been believable with him just destroying everyone after one night.

Bray hasn't done anything of note since losing to Cena. Other than beat Ambrose who hasn't won a PPV match ever since the Shield broke up.
 
There's a difference between reciting a catchphrase and actually controlling the crowd. People say Woo Woo Woo when Ryder jobs but that's about it. Bray on the other hand still can suck in a crowd. All he needs is a proper feud and continue his gimmick...he'll be back on the main event trail. People keep wanting him to change his style but that's like telling Jake Roberts in his prime to stop talking like a educated serial killer. You are taking away from his gimmick that's well known. Same goes for Bray.

People say "Woo Woo Woo" because Zack Ryder is a legend who eliminated Tully.

He still has the crowd though.

That is better than 99% of other heels.

Remember how big Cena's grave is and probably after Mania Rusev will be added to it. Hopefully not.

Cena in the background where he belongs.

Ambrose literally won one match the whole feud, and on an event nobody gives a shit about anymore because it's not even filmed in the desert on a military base anymore

Totally a guy who's been booked to be taken seriously

Since Cena, Bray has lost his stable, fought for no titles, has lingered in the mid card, and generally had no real relevance. This sounds exactly like a Cena victim.

Even the Ambrose feud did nothing for him. Bray spent most of those matches getting beat up and taking the bad end of spots only to pull out a finisher from out of nowhere to win or have an exploding TV save him.

There's also a difference between Jake being a creep with a goal to win titles and/or feuds, and Bray who gives hollow wordy promos, then dares people to hit him halfway through matches because...... Why exactly? To bring out their dark side? For what? What is Bray Wyatt's goal? Who is he? Why does he do what he does? This guy can't be a legit contender for anything when Brock Lesner, THE monster of the company, set his goal early on, followed through, and continues to beat the holy hell out of everyone because he wants to prove he's the best. Bray Wyatt is a sketch of a wrestler at this point. it's not enough. Roman Reigns has more going on.

But yes, he can still command a crowd because he has good delivery and they black out the arena every time he talks. That's one of the reasons they should give him something to do, but it doesn't mean he isn't flat right now.

roman will not succeed if they book him like cena 2.0

the fans will boo him from the start. no "the guy" have ever been treated like that from the crowd. not even cena.

Probably the best thing Dunn did camerawork wise. The camerawork was amazing during that segment and made Ambrose look like he's descending into madness.





:(sighs

One of my friends really doesn't like WWE camerawork- he thinks all the shaking they do is beyond stupid.

Dan Meltzerz of Suplex Scoops is reporting that WWE has completely changed course regarding Wrestlemania. WWE was previously going all in with Roman Reigns, but after losing an estimated 5 subscribers after the Rumble, in addition to successful viral campaigns such as #CancelWWENetwork, #FreeRiley, and #RileyWalks, the company has determined that Daniel Bryan is the correct choice for the big event.

Thank goodness, that was a close one
