Is Bray Wyatt a good wrestler?
 
Great promo/creative guy for sure

But in your opinion is Bray Wyatt a good rassler?

Triple A 10-27-2020 04:59 PM

No... like 90% of his matches are bad

Fiend gimmick is very good though... but freaking hated him as the Wyatt Family character

RP 10-27-2020 04:59 PM

I think he is. But i think WWE limits there guys and what they do in the ring. He probably has a ton of good moves, but WWE limits the shit out of him . It's lame.

What's Bray Wyatts top 5 best matches. We need to investigate.

Emperor Smeat 10-27-2020 05:33 PM

I'd say somewhat.

He's had some good moments and matches but WWE's booking and his gimmicks haven't been helpful when it comes to him being able to pump out good matches more often.

For the Fiend, WWE keeps booking themselves in a corner with their handling of him which is how you get stuff like the dreadful Hell in a Cell match that ended in DQ or the cinematic Swamp match that was weak in action.

If he wrestled Daniel Bryan 5 times those would be it

IDR him having good matches w/ anyone else

RP 10-27-2020 06:39 PM

I thought he had a HITC match with Cena that was really good.

Bad News Gertner 10-27-2020 06:40 PM

Bryan at the 2014 Rumble and Reigns at HIAC 2015 was really good.

Not including the Wyatt 6 man tags.

Bad News Gertner 10-27-2020 06:41 PM

Cena at Payback 2014

Destor 10-27-2020 06:49 PM

Don't you mean at RYBACK 2014?
Bray is a decent wrestler, but a really good gimmick who found his niche as The Fiend. If they didnt give him The Fiend gimmick, I have a feeling he'd not be wrestling in the WWE these days.

He's a fun character. But really hasn't given me a memorable match.

xrodmuc316 10-28-2020 12:09 AM

Yes, because he sticks to what he does well. It's the old 5 moves of doom, but what he does works.

That running cross body/spear combo is great. He delivers a wicked Ura-nage. He also understands ring psychology far better than a bunch of marks that need to get all their flips in at 100 miles an hour for no reason.

Bad News Gertner 10-28-2020 08:31 AM

Thank God

He'd need to sweat a lot more and perform 86 chinlocks per match.

Bray is the greatest and anyone who disagrees is a low IQ, low energy loser.

James Steele 10-28-2020 10:08 AM

He can tell really good stories in the ring. I think his gimmicks have limited his "workrate" especially in this era and the predominant style of today. He also hasn't been helped by almost 10 years worth of shitty booking. It's a miracle he's still where he is on the card. Considering he debuted to "Husky Harris" chants, got jobbed out in every meaningful match he had, and got booked into a corner multiple times as The Fiend...he's one of those guys who can get over no matter what. Unstoppable demon god seems like it would have a shelf life.

Stickman 11-02-2020 05:03 PM

I can't think of ever being into his matches. He's strictly a gimmick. His finisher is an absolute joke so that doesn't help. Maybe he's being held back in what he should do in the ring, but I don't even know anything he does in the ring.

James Steele 11-03-2020 11:25 AM

It's just like The Undertaker in his early days. Shit matches, but the draw is in the gimmick, aura, and the few explosive spots in the match. The problem is the wrestling audience is drastically different in 2020 than it was in 1990.

The Tombstone piledriver was pretty bad ass though. Sister Abigail...not so much.

I think that’s an overall problem in wrestling now. They do all these badass crazy moves during a match and then the finish is...meh.

Bray is an ok wrestler. His actual wrestling skills are likely slightly below average, but he knows how to sell and tell a story in the ring (and especially out of the ring). I know Rollins and Wyatt received a lot of heat for their Hell in a Cell match last year, but I thought it was actually pretty good. Fiend understands his character very well and sold Rollins' moves extremely well, while also demonstrating to the viewing audience that he had a 'supernatural' pain threshold.

Wyatt doesn't have to be a great wrestler in order to be a tremendous asset for the company.
