#3 His name is Bray Wyatt
If there is an underrated performer on the WWE roster, it has to be Bray Wyatt. His continual brilliance in the ring and on the mic is so refreshing.
The best part about Wyatt is he is a man who does not need a title. And when he decides who his next victim will be, we the fans never know what will come out of his mouth or what will happen in the ring.
When I look at Bray Wyatt, I see Raven, Kevin Sullivan and James Mitchell all in one character.
Professional wrestling has gotten away from the idea of sinister characters. Call it sensibilities to the day and age of social media. And the fact everything seems to be scripted on a PG level. It did not used to be that way.
Professional wrestling’s dark side was a huge turn on for fans. The fear and excitement of the unknown – the constant state of Halloween and the idea that these larger than life characters really did eat, sleep and breathe the roles they played. Kevin Sullivan was a master at it. Raven took it to another level with his Flock in ECW.
Wyatt’s ability in the ring (he is the son of Mike Rotunda and the nephew of Barry Windham) shine through. He does not need a title for validation as long as he can pick his spots and woo the crowd.
Professional wrestling needs more dynamic characters and performers in the business.
