Putting aside my personal feelings on the Fiend as a wrestling character, this hurts because:
-of how much I loved Bayou Cult Leader Bray Wyatt. -of how nice a guy he seemed to be. -of how much it reminds me of my Dads passing.
Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan were pretty much the only guys that got me to check out WWE in the mid 10's, as I was so burnt out on wrestling and especially the WWE back then. I was so invested in Bray Wyatt then.
I think one of the problems with WWE has long been that they will make popular guys lose far too often, because the belief is that they're over enough to take it. Or if you get over unplanned, ala Zack Ryder, they'll job you out for a while and if you're still over, they'll then push you on their terms.
With Bray I feel they defintely fell into that first trap. "Gee the fans love Bray! Let's not have him win too many significant feuds and use that overness to elevate others! Bray's over enough to take it!" Is what I believe the WWE were thinking. Most of the variations or Bray Wyatt pre-Fiend could have been bigger than they were with commitment. I mean his first world title being transitional to get the belt on Orton, for that Wrestlemania pop? Orton, who had been champion numerous times before? Yeah Orton was still hella over and it's the way wrestling works, with the heel putting over the babyface and all that but Bray's first world title should have been won as far back as the previous Summerslam at least and he should have gone on an absolute tear for like 8 months to really build him up and then you can have the babyface go over and not give the belt to the heel a month before and have him lose at Mania for that Mania pop.
