Bray Wyatt Criticized For Not Being Able To Get Heat

Bray Wyatt is most certainly one of the most creative wrestlers in all of WWE, regardless of him being in the company or not. However, he was never used properly at all.

The Fiend was arguably his most creative character and truly showed just how imaginative Bray Wyatt would be. Unfortunately, his gimmick was never booked well in WWE until his release last year.

Bray Wyatt made his return during the Extreme Rules Premium Live Event and completely shocked everyone in attendance. Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, Mantell criticized Wyatt for not being able to get any real heat.

I’m still not the biggest fan of Bray, but it’s not up to me to set the market value. It’s up to fans. And what I’m saying, If you’d like Bray Wyatt, more power to you. But I don’t think, other than his merchandise sales, which is astronomical I heard, I don’t think he added that much to the live gates or the pay-per-view bass because he would just go in the ring and just beat guys up. Where’s the heat in that? There’s no heat.

I mean he didn’t but he just beat guys. So how are you gonna boo a guy that basically just beat another guy straight up. What are you mad about? Nothing. He just beat him. So that was the only problem I saw with him.”

Wyatt cut a very emotional and candid promo on Friday Night Smackdown last week, which many fans appreciated. He then cut a very cryptic one this week. We’ll have to see how WWE will book him in the coming months.
