I mean really?
I get his promos don't make sense and he's the cult leader character that doesn't light everyone's candle..... BUT he's fresh, he's interesting, he's not too bad in the ring, he's something we haven't really seen before.
I'm a fan, I like his character, I like the difference approach he brings. Yes he's a bit crazy and cartoonish, BUT weren't Mankind, Undertaker and Kane? They didn't turn out too bad
I'm not saying I'm right, I'm not saying there aren't other sides to the argument, I'm just willing to hear the arguments and reasons others don't like or do like him

I don't find him fresh or interesting. His "best" move is that spider walk which does nothing except make him look like a 6 year old on the playground saying "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO".
He has an LED Lantern that he blows out. Yes, I'm holding it against him. It's an LED Lantern that he pretends is real. I can believe in wrestling zombies, dancing turkeys and Hornswoggle running through a painted door on the wall. But blowing out an LED Lantern is too much for me. Bray is a mix of serious crazy (undertaker)and absurd crazy (hornswoggle) that just doesn't work.
I like eggrolls and I like ice cream. Doesn't mean I like eggroll ice cream.

My thing with Bray Wyatt is that I can never suspend my disbelief and feel like he's trying to win a wrestling match, it's just this series of goofy Kabuki dances.
He bothered me a lot more Jan-May 2014 where he was constantly showing up and magically causing things to happen in the middle of big PPV matches with the light blink. I f***ing hated that so much. The cage match at Extreme Rules might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen at a show I've attended. And I was there for AJ Lee skipping around in a Kane mask because it was so kawaii.

He's fat and balding. JK. I'm somewhat indifferent to him. I WANT to like him. He can move pretty well and has an interesting ambiance, but his promos can get boring (especially Undertaker buildup.. all he did was talk to himself for 3 months). I feel like his booking has turned me off of him moreso than he himself has (losing to Cena, losing/setting free his followers, making Ambrose look like a bitch for two months just to transition into talking to himself for months). I really hope they have something meaningful for him after the Taker loss. I feel like (aside from the general 'fat' and 'boring' and 'rambling' and 'neckbread' and 'fedora' hate) there might be some IWC animosity towards him for being a college football player-turned wrassler with family connections rather than an indy guy... sound familiar? He's boring as f***. Just a fat bastard rambling about inane shite every week.  |

Don't hate, just disappointed. From his FCW and NXT vignettes, he felt like someone whose future one could really look forward towards. There has just been no consistent traction thus far. When he's got a clear focus and can dial back on the mysticism ever-so-slight, like during the go-home 'Taker RAW promo, he legit feels like he could be the voice of a new generation.

He's fine, He just gets sandbagged by WWE's nonsensical booking (Actually that's almost everyone)
Although it wouldn't hurt if his promos made sense

He's fat, he wears a fedora, and he has a neckbeard.
Well, I just completed the shitposting trifecta.

Not hate, but folks are tired of him doing nothing of value by building feuds almost single handedly with promos that don't make sense, and not aiming for titles or any kind of meaningful goal.
But if people can start posting #Axelmania the very night after the Rumble after YEARS of Curtis Axel being trash, it won't take much for Bray to redeem himself in the eyes of the smark nation.

He's one of the worst wrestling cult leaders ever. At least Raven could manage to gather up more than 2 guys to form the Flock. Hell, the SES had more members.

I don't hate him at all, but he DESPERATELY needs a clean win over an established main event level talent. I honestly think the best thing for his credibility is to get a win back against the Undertaker in a non-Wrestlemania rematch, which is unlikely given that's apparently the only day out of 365 the guy can be bothered to wrestle.

He's pretty pathetic for a cult leader, I've gotta say. Only two recurring members and he let them go with one turning to the side of light, even. Plus, the only one he converted turned out to be faking it, too.

He's below average in the ring and his promos, which used to be great, range from okay to excruciating.
I really wish I could still like Bray, but jesus, he's barely improved at all since 2013 and has been the source of some of the most abysmal segments of the last 5 years.

Give him followers again, Use people that aren't doing anything (Adam Rose, Ascension)
Last year was bigger waste IMO (He was OVER), He should've beat Cena at Mania then at Extreme rules win the IC title and have a run with it and have "Summer of Wyatt"......but no Cena had to win for some reason

i was one of his biggest critics, but he's won me over during the Taker feud. He carried the feud singlehandedly and cut some good if not memorable promos. Also mad props for him to wrestle his biggest match with a bad ankle.
i can see him having a Kane-like career. Resident upper midcard-main event creepy monster and a future local man.

I just find him to be boring. I am competely uninterested in him. I guess to me...he'll always be lardass McGee or whatever his name was before this. They shouldn't have messed with perfection. That fits him better than his current role.

I don't hate Bray Wyatt.
I hate the way he's booked.
And it's a matter of diminishing returns. Every time he rattles off some promo about destroying someone, and they end up beating him, it makes him less effective.
Why would the next opponent be intimidated at all?
