Marty Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I realize this may sound similar to an argument on DVDVR about Shawn Michaels sucking on purpose by design, but I think the Wyatt Family beatdowns are supposed to be uncrisp. Harper and Rowan are supposed to be mindless, lumbering leaches. In fact, some of the stuff critiqued about Bray (such as the cartoonish poses) I can buy, but I think Harper and Rowan are playing their roles as best as they could. That they're not as crisp as the Shield is the point, even though I've often heard the argument that Harper is better in-ring than Wyatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anarchistxx Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I don't get the Wyatt Family hype either. Seems a bit forced and corny to me, and there aren't a lot of places they can go with it once the novelty value wears off. I'd have probably said that about Undertaker in 1990 though.

Negro Suave Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Brodie Lee is a MUCH better worker than Bray Wyatt Abso-fucking-lutely! Brodie Lee is a far better worker than he is being used as right now. (Coincidentally I've wrestled him a few times) I always enjoy seeing him on my TV screen and I implore peopel to look up some of his old matches vs Claudio various Chikara wrestlers. Really loving the wyatt family more than the Shield. But I think they just need to spread them out to different sides of the beat down. The Shield - Pack of Dogs... using superior numbers to take someone down who they couldnt take out on their own. Wyatt Family- Pack of Buzzards, tearing apart the fallen. Should be more focused on Bray being a cult leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Wyatt should just have a sleeper-type move as his finisher where he can do his creepy stare while putting the other guy away (or is that not PG?). Instead it's another lame, twisty variation of a neckbreaker/facebuster.He's Waylon Mercy enough as it is without having the same finisher.

Death From Above Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Only thing I didn't like about the Wyatt debut was rolling a rocking chair down to ringside, which is stupid but typically WWE stupid at least, and certainly no more worthy of scorn than a thousand other things they've done. Well that and fans chanting Husky Harris because they're just so cool. But there's nothing you can do about that. Otherwise it was a great debut. The promo right before they all showed up was really about as good as that sort of hillbilly cultist thing is going to get in wrestling. I mean I've outed myself several times as being a fan of that goofy Doomsday Preppers show and these guys were at least as creepy as two thirds of the nutjobs on that thing (and I assume half the people on that show are actors playing versions of real people the producers just don't want any part of), and they got there without showing me their collection of automatic weapons. Also I love that theme song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Tonight on Main Event, The Wyatt Family destroyed Justin Gabriel and all the members of 3MB. They then piled them in the middle of the ring, while Bray called for Kane to follow the buzzards home. Pretty cool visual, kinda interested to see if this leads to the return of "monster" Kane.

They then piled them in the middle of the ring, while Bray called for Kane to follow the buzzards home. Pretty cool visual, kinda interested to see if this leads to the return of "monster" Kane. I am hoping that this ends up with Kane as one of Wyatt's henchmen. I mean, just have him be another follower doing his bidding like Brodie and ranga dude. With these kind of "cult leader" angles, it always tends to be new people or scrubs who are the ones stupid enough to believe in the leader. Wyatt has unknown people from development. SES Punk had an unknown in Serena, and repackaged guys who didn't mean much in Gallows and Mercury. Any time the leader tries to convert a real Superstar they get shut down. I think it would be a powerful statement if a guy on the level of Kane was actually converted to Wyatt's cause and followed him around as a genuine believer. It would speak to the strength of his cult leader-ness, and help put him over by having a star like Kane take direction from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I could do with Kane as part of the Wyatts. It could lead to a fun, if corny, angle of Bryan trying to get his friend back and feuding with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I could see it working in a Kane going back to his roots kind of way. His character does seem like the cousin of dudes like Leatherface anyway. So Kane as the Wyatt's PG Leatherface, sure. I can dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlekitten Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Putting Kane with them would turn it into another cheesy Kane angle and kill it dead. They should just keep it simple and go for Wyatt vs Kane at summerslam. Any trios matches with them will be a disappointment after the Shield. Just watched Main Event and the beatdown was much better than the previous ones. Helps that you have 3mb who always bump their arse off. I quite like Bray's finisher, he makes it look devastating. WWE's been pretty good lately heh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Putting Kane with them would turn it into another cheesy Kane angle and kill it dead. It might work if Wyatt brainwashes Kane into being a completely mindless drone ala Harper and Rowan. Otherwise, if Kane's character is moreless the same, it'll have "Cena forced to join Nexus" vibes. Fuck, I don't know if it'll be even *that* good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negro Suave Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I yearn for monster Kane. it would be great if he was just the monster they unleashed or heck if this leads to a random undertaker appearance I wouldn't be upset. We haven't really had an crazies gimmick in the E for a bit. How I see it breaking down is Kane trying to beat teh Wyatt Family and DQ's or mind game during his matches. Perhaps even the Wyatt's helping him win and match and then beating him down. Finally culminating in Kane vs Bray Kane beating a smiling and laughing Bray Wyatt in some crazy gimmick match... and then Kane cutting a promo on raw basically thanking Bray and becoming the monster for the Wyatt family. it gives time for them to take the Shield angle where ever they intend to take it and gives the Wyatt angle a bit of time to come into something. Then you have Bray Wyatt going for a singles strap and the rest of the wyatt's as road blocks... heck maybe even give them some sot fo sway over an authority figure. Honestly I see the Kane and Bray being a way to truly put over Bray's cult status... heck make him the vacation machine wrestler wants a bit of a break feed him to the wyatts send people to be re educated make it creepy.

rzombie1988 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'd really like to see Wyatt convert someone to his family. I think it would be a good angle and would lead to interesting TV, but I want that person to be good at wrestling. They need a worker in that group.

Guest Staples Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 If it's just a matter of going to the gym a bit more, I hope Hero does it. It'd be a shame to not get to the roster just because of that. On the other hand, if they're trying to hint he needs to go on the gas/more gas...sigh.

I'm wondering because on the latest Court Bauer & John Pollock show at mlw.com, Court is talking about a guy in developmental who's in the doghouse right now, could be on the bubble to be released, and it would absolutely shock people. The way he described him (guy who's been there for a long time, frustrated that he hasn't been called up yet while others have passed him by, might be losing motivation to train as hard and isn't taking advantage of the new gym) I thought for sure he was talking about Hero.

Developmental is Hunter's baby, and we all know he's a bodybuilding mark, so a developmental guy showing an unwillingness to hit the gym is the career equivalent of shooting yourself in the head. Considering Hero has the same skinny-fat build as Punk without all the tats to distract your eye from it, he could have played his hand better.
