This is also a designated zone to talk about that period where he wore a hoodie with horns on it and dude what the f*** This. When he strayed away from the original look. The floral shirt, hat white pants, dress shoes and the wetted down hair make him so much scarier than his last few looks. The Max Cady look was perfect for him.

I haven't stopped caring about him, I guess I'm just waiting for WWE to START caring again.

Husky Harris was scarier than his current look. At least he had kind of a deranged grin a lot of the time during that, current Bray looks like he hangs around a trading card shop talking about what a badass he is.

Bray's highpoints for me just for the sake of discussion: Wyatt Family vs the Shield was amazing with an all time epic staredown and a pair of great matches. The live rendition of his theme was awesome.

The live rendition of his theme was awesome. Also when he finally got to be a face for all of 4 seconds, he was so f***ing over it was ridiculous. It's so baffling that they didn't continue on with it when he returned.

The live rendition of his theme was awesome. I was actually there for what I think was the first 1v1 Wyatt vs. Reigns match. Green Bay ate that match up, but that's partly because of how good that feud was. (That same night, Undertaker stabbed Lesnar in the hand. My mom was so happy.)

Also if not for Bray, I never would have had the excuse to make multiple Counting Crows references.

I still like Bray, so, I'll keep you posted, I guess.

*Hypes up a match against the Undertaker at Mania*
*Undertaker takes no part in hyping up the match*
*Undertaker wins*
*Afterwards, Bray acts like he won anyway*

After his debut match at SummerSlam. He's never impressed me in the ring, and I think his character sucks. I also consider him to be the third Local Man.

Dude was out here calling himself the New Face of Fear when the old one had just beat his ass yesterday.

I held out until this year. Between the terrible bs at Wrestlemania and the stupid (bit kinda fun) house of horrors match I have finally given up.

Never really found him to be great in the ring. His best match was with Bryan, who was having the match of the night against anyone. I liked his original FCW/NXT look and presentation, because he was coherent back then and not the spooky demon man he is now..
I fully turned on him around the Cena feud, after that horrendous cage match. And the fact that his promos kept getting more and more incoherent. At this point, he should be repackaged because WWE "creative" has ruined every interesting aspect about him.

My problem with Bray has always been that he creates a sort of booking conundrum. From what I hear from others the best way to book him is to make him the center of the program. Make him some sort god-like presence over the show.
The problem is unless you are named HHH or John Cena that benefit won't apply to you. Bray's biggest character flaw is he can't really work as a side attraction in the WWE universe. Unlike the Undertaker who in the 2000s usually just hung around by himself, Bray tries to convert people to follow him as a disciple. It's hard to take that seriously when a segment later you see Somo Jo walk to the ring like nothing has happen. Difficult to take someone as a threat when other wrestler just ignore the "evil" acts Bray commits.
Even worse he is not that great of a wrestler where he can cover up lackadaisical programs with great wrestling matches. He's fine but he needs his character work to bring interest into a match not his ring work.

I don't think you even need to have him conquer the company or whatever, but he needs at least SOME successes. He's a cult leader with demonstrable magical powers who's been a consistent presence on TV for four years now and his current number of successful recruitments to his cause is -3.

I still don't see how hitting Bray with a chair is giving in to despair but hitting Rowan and Harper with one is Cena keeping his integrity. Much less a couple months later when Cena tried to decapitate Bray with the steps.
