WWE: Monday Night Raw Part 188 - Get Well Soon Big Dog!

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Wyatt was ready to take on the new undertaker role IMO and they blew it with the Cena feud. Not an exact replacement but more like a strong mysticism style wrestler.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wyatt was really, really easy to book.

Beat Cena, beat the streak.

And then they tried again when they put the title on him... only to have him lose to Randy in an awful match and awful program. Then he almost turned into a transvestite in his program with Finn but the mumps saved him. I legitimately believed that match happening with him dressing up as Sister Abigail would have been the end of any hope of legitimacy for him.

I think there's still SOME hope, but they're barely holding on. When they bring him back they need him to be a killer. Whether he's a face or heel, it doesn't matter, he needs to be a killer.

It will never be the same for him as it could have been if he wasn't fed to Cena and Taker at back-to-back Wrestlemanias, but he can still be a top guy solely because of his mic work.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

To me, Wyatt is one of the biggest "what ifs" in wrestling history.

If they had let him beat Cena then the streak, he could have been HUUUUUUUUUGE! He was over as f*** during the Cena program and it was actually a good program... until Cena won the feud clean.

never forget Bray Wyatt also had clean pins on Roman Reigns.

Reigns vs Wyatt SHOULD have been Reigns's biggest nemesis.

And he created essentially the only cool moment Roman has been apart of since the OG Shield

I remember this like it was yesterday. T_T

 

[BonMorrison]

Remember when Bray and Triple H stared each other down at the Rumble? T_T

remember any time we ever thought Bray would do anything T_T

 

[BonMorrison]

how WWE botched the incredibly obvious rage against the machine storyline is beyond me. it literally writes itself.

The pop Bray got when he did this was awesome. Then they ruined him even more...

Bray could have been a f***ing MEGA star.

 

[BonMorrison]

Just remembering that also happened when Ambrose was white hot and probably should've been in that WM main event. The Ambrose/Triple H storyline also wrote itself.

And cool stuff like this that had the crowd popping hard!

Ahhh....back when he still had a shot.

You'd think after the match he put on with Taker at Mania, Undertaker could've put in a good word with Vince to give him more of a boost.

I imagine Undertaker has tremendous pull behind the scenes with regards to creative control and storylines. Guess he just didn't feel like talking.

Taker is the definition of a company man.

I was going to bring this up while writing my post.

If Bray Wyatt didn’t get hurt, what would have happened here? He turned face by attacking the League of Nations with The Wyatt Family the night after Wrestlemania, the week after he “spared” Roman and even formed a cohesive team with him.

What would the face run have been if he didn’t get hurt? When he returned they brought him back as a heel as if nothing had happened in regards to his face turn.

It’s a huge what if. That sums up Bray’s career to this point: “what if?”

...and this lol.

I was soooooo praying he would target HHH and we’d get Bray/HHH so Bray could “take down the machine.”

Those times he attacked Punk and Bryan in the fall and said “the devil made me do it”? Why couldn’t the devil have been HHH and he realized he was becoming something he didn’t like and instead wanted to “bring down the machine” and go over HHH at a Wrestlemania.

Ugh. I can’t even blame WWE’s obsession with Roman on them killing Bray. It was countless decisions before that: the guy who came before Roman (Cena), old man Taker, his transitional WWE Title reign to have a godawful feud with Randy, his awful program with Jericho where he lost the first match where he was in no position to be taking another loss.

That same time period of the gif posted in the quote, though, the fans wanted two guys to get that title match at Wrestlemania vs. HHH waaaaay more than Roman: Dean and Bray. That’s the only time I can really say Roman “blocked” Bray. Bray or Dean (honestly, more so Dean at this time) should have been in the WM title match.

Roman was off the house shows this week, so he might not be here tonight

One could hope. They need a ratings boost...

 

[Cor]

The main segments for tonight is Shawn Michaels hyping his match, and Trish Stratus and Lita appearing to promote their match this Sunday.

It's suddenly 2007 again

 

[TNT87]

All the talk about Bray is making me sad.

Shameful how bad they f***ed up everything.

Man am I ever glad I don't have tickets for tonight's show.

Nostalgia overload.

 

[tony d]

Wyatt could have been big, the guy could have been this generation's Undertaker. Why they focus on old relics instead of the great talent they have there now is beyond me.

 

[ColePens]

Big dog looks like he's crying. Injury? Give up the belt?
