Anyone else like that? There's no kayfabe reasoning for it which I'm not a fan of, but they're making a full-time guy feel like a bit of an attraction by limiting his matches to PPVs and a couple a month on TV.
Surprised it's not Cena getting that treatment, really. He'd make the most sense.

I noticed he said that and was kinda shocked.

It wasn't even much of an exaggeration on their part. Before this week, Bray's last Raw match was on February 9th.

It's because he spends the rest of the time giving the exact same promo, sadly.

The way they protect his aura is so weird. They do stuff like hype his RAW match as a rarity and give him wins over uppercard faces, yet most times he's in a marquee PPV match he loses.

Yeah it's weird, limiting his in-ring appearances is what they should have been doing from the start when he had a tag-team to hide behind. It doesn't make much sense to do it now. Same as they made the whole family look like bumbling idiots in that ring of fire match before building them back up to the point we accepted them beating The Shield. You'd think it would be easier to at least attempt maintaining that aura rather than constantly having to rebuild it.

I'd like to see a WCW Jericho style segment where he can't find his way out of the smoky promo room he hides in.

Reminds me of 2004 Undertaker suddenly getting this branding. It definitely makes them seem more important.

Hey, he has his own stupid nameplate, at least.

If only we could just stop seeing him altogether.

I just wish they'd give him a serious push and have him win a championship in order to build him up.

Outside mentioning Harper and Rowan going for tag belts against The Usos, has Bray ever even said the word "title" yet?
Can't remember a wrestler so actively disinterested in traditional success. He is awesome.

He is awesome. Surely he mentioned the word when he was in the World title match at Money in the Bank last year.

I remember him talking about the ladder match and stuff but no real talk of being champ or anything. My memory is Benoit-esque these days though so I may be wrong.

Since his debut, I would've had the guy only wrestle on big ppvs. Pretty much a Brock Lesnar type of schedule when it comes to his actual in ring matches. As it was said before, it should've been the Harper and Rowan doing his dirty work while gaining a few more members.
Pretty much Raven and the flock in WCW.
Refusing to fight. Using his brain washing and charm to get his family to wrestle for him, so when the moment finally comes for him to wrestle or fight on his own, it's a huge deal.
