5 bizarre WWE Superstars that would have matched The Fiend Bray Wyatt

The world of professional wrestling has seen a great deal of bizarre, out-of-this-world characters throughout the years. One thing is for sure -- in the current landscape of WWE, and for at least the last decade, nothing matches the aura and style of The Fiend Bray Wyatt. He is one of the most entertaining as well as important wrestlers on the SmackDown brand.

There may be no other wrestler in history, and possibly even the future, that could match the mind games and style of The Undertaker, but if anybody has a chance to usurp The Deadman and take his cr, it's Bray Wyatt's creation of a man with dual personalities.

With this in mind, here is a list of 5 wrestlers that would have been a great challenge to the current Universal Champion, physically and especially psychologically.

#5 Jake 'The Snake' Roberts

Jake Roberts is one of the most cerebral wrestlers in pro wrestling history.

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts is one of those wrestlers that captivated the WWE Universe with his intense promos and dark charisma as well as his psychological attempts to intimidate his opponents. The wrestler was nicknamed 'The Snake' due to his very negative approach to everyone around him and his untrustworthy nature.

A confrontation with The Fiend could produce a great storyline, with both wrestlers as experts in the field of playing mind games. One would expect nothing but sheer brilliance during the weekly programs as the men would spar verbally every week, and dig deeper into physical and psychological warfae on pay-per-view events. A Snake inside the ring with a Fiend would be a sight to see and the thought of it is absolutely captivating.

#4 Papa Shango

A mind games specialist

Charles Wright went through various character changes over his journey as a WWE Superstar. His first foray in the company saw him portray the dangerous and frightening Papa Shango character, which showcased him as a voodoo master and overall psychological nightmare for anyone in his path. Though it may seem hokey and silly now, in the early-to-mid 1990s his was one of the most intimidating characters on the roster. What would happen if he were to stand face to face with The Fiend?

It would be a great opportunity for the fans to witness a struggle between Papa Shango's magical abilities and The Fiend's mind games (and possible otherworldly powers). Papa Shango was a force to be reckoned with during his run in WWE, as is Bray Wyatt right now.

With these two larger-than-life character butting heads, chaos would triump over everything in the WWE Universe, and it would surely be treat for every WWE fan around the globe.

#3 Kamala

How would The Fiend react to the Ugandan Giant?

Kamala debuted in WWE way back in 1984 and went on to become a wrestler that was not only feared but also appreciated for his in-ring skills. Kamala had the opportunity to face The Undertaker, but with both the happy-go-lucky Bray Wyatt and the doom-and-gloom Fiend to compete with, this battle wuld on a different level.

A storyline between these two wrestlers would be something to see. The Fiend's skill and surprising speed inside the ring would be his best tool in a match with Kamala who would tower over him by at least 4 inches. Fans in attendance and at home would bear witness to something potentially phenomenal due to the stark contrast between the characters. Both iterations of Bray Wyatt are controlled and clearly motive-driven, while Kamala was a wildman who was always on a warpath, ready to bowl over any and all who got in his way with reckless abandon.

#2 Cactus Jack

Mick Foley might not have faired well, but Cactus Jack could be a very different story.

It was the RAW reunion episode, and Mick Foley was in the ring addressing the WWE Universe. The arena went black, ear-piercing screeches filled the building, and The Fiend appeared, surprising the hardcore legend and using his own move, the mandible claw, against the WWE Hall of Famer. Mick Foley is a wrestler who was always ready to take risks and go above and beyond to inflict pain on his opponents while showing no regard for his own wellbeing.

Foley played various roles in his 4 years as a fully active member of the WWE roster. He debuted as the sadistic, troubled, and likely clinically insane Mankind, and spent most of his time evolving that character. Intermittently, however, he was forced to bring out two other characters, Cactus Jack and Dude Love, all combined becoming what would be known as the "Three Faces of Foley". Cactus Jack showed up for the first time 1997 and stuck around through most of 1998 when he needed to adapt to a more reckless, hardcore persona, leaving his cerebral psychological warfare behind.

While a tangle between Mankind and The Fiend may be a dream match for many, a clash instead using the Cactus Jack character would provide for a much different environment. Mankind and Cactus were unpredictable in different ways, but with Mankind being so similar in attitude and presentation (Mankind originally was a man of dual personalities before Cactus Jack or Dude Love were introduced), a duel between Cactus Jack and The Fiend would prove much more interesting.

#1 The Boogeyman

Would The Fiend be afraid of The Boogeyman?

The Boogeyman is one of the most bizarre wrestlers in recent history. During his tenure with WWE (including occasional cameos since his retirement from in-ring competition) he relished in eating worms and made sure that nobody felt safe in his presence. The Boogeyman's trademark (outside of the worms) was to hide in the shadows, behind doors, and around corners to startle, shock, and scare anybody he could, especially anybody he was set to stand against inside the ring.

After a brief encounter with John Cena, the presence of The Boogeyman was so shell-shocking that the 16-time WWE Champion froze and decided to leave his interview without uttering another word. The Boogeyman was a character that inflicted fear through the manners of disgust and surprise.

Would The Fiend, who also regularly utilizes the element of surprise, be intimidated by him? The men attempting to out-surprise each other could be a perfect set up for a story that would keep fans engaged, on the edge of their seats, and boost anxiety levels through the roof, just waiting to see what the Superstars might try next.
