With all the success the Wyatt family is having and a potential rub from John Cena at WM. Is Bray here to stay or will he be gone quickly and then need to retool and change his character?


I think Bray the character will not last but IRS JR will be around awhile. I am not sure how long they can keep up his character although it is intriguing right now but could become stale as WWE writers seem to lose steam after awhile. What are your thoughts.

WWE needs to throw out their old writers and bring in some fresh blood with over the top ideas. Bray could very well be the catalyst to ignite a new attitdue era, post PG.

Bray could do that but I don't see them pushing that envelope again unless they are facing some huge losses again like pre-attitude era. Now I really think Bray could continue this gimmick for awhile but it could run its course too. Look at Ryback and how much he has changed too since coming out.

Huge difference in Ryback and Wyatt though. Wyatt is entertaining and Ryback, not so much. Ryback is actual dangerous to work with at times. Wyatt can cut a great promo. He has pretty much a total package and has picked up some great wins since his run.

I fear Bray may be peaking very early as a character. Working with John Cena at Wrestlemania is awesome, but between Cena and Bryan, that's the two biggest babyfaces on the roster already feuded with. I mean, sure he can go for the WWE title next, but his longitivity is going to greatly depend on how well the writers book his feuds.

Granted, but blame WWE for Ryback's fall. They had a solid thing going with the Feed Me More gimmick. For whatever reason they had to stray from that, it killed whatever momentmum Ryback had. Now, he is a second tier performer doing dark matches, and houseshows. I have't even seen him on Main Event in a bit.

With Bray, if they keep his course true, with or without Rowan and Harper, he could very well ignite that fuse. With the current state of the WWE especially with the blunder of Batista, (who I think is a phenominal performer, but is currently being used wrong), not to mention the fans hijacking the shows weekly with CM Punk chants, if they mess with Bray's character, look to see alot of fans walking away from the WWE. Right now, the best thing going is Shield v Wyatts, and DB v HHH. Not even Taker and Brock's match is getting as much hype as the previous 2. These are dark times for the WWE and if Jean Paul Levesque was smart, he would pull his and his wife's face out of the TV picture and start using their heads for something other than face time on camera.

I still think Bray could be peaking to early. I like the character and if done right he could stay around awhile. Bray is a cool concept but does it have longevity? I guess that is my main concern considering that WWE likes to change characters either early or to late. Look at Cena we have been needing a heel turn but have yet to see one. With Bray I think they could continue to keep him a heel for awhile as long as they don't over use him and extend what he has been doing. While him having that feud with Cena gives him a nice rub could he just disappear like others have after getting a little rub from Cena. As much as I would like for him to win the WHC at some time after Bryan gets it, where does his character go from there?

Lesnar and Taker are wrestling each other? Wow, with no real build up its hard to tell if this match is even important. I mean is wrestling the Undertaker at Wrestlemania a milestone anymore?

I'm just wondering if Bray could ever really be the WWE champion? Could anyone really picture that? Hopefully they learned from where they went wrong with the SES and keep the Wyatt's going strong for a long time to come.

Honestly I do believe they could keep the character going, I mean the Undertaker kept his gimmick forever same with Kane. He is just a modern day mixture of some of the better gimmicks with the mic skills of a manager and I believe he is writing his own stuff so it should be easy for him to come up with new stuff. I can see him as the champion for sure…he is the perfect guy to help usher in the post Cena/Orton/Batista Era. As talented as Harper is..I really don't see him going face so he will probably stay with Bray just develop more of a character like he has been doing lately. Rowan is the perfect silent henchman they are set up to stay together for a long long time…unlike the Shield where all three are poised for singles success the Wyatts won't run into that problem. I can really see this lasting a good long time…they are all young and talented…but time shall tell….I pray to Wyatt that the WWE doesn't fuck this up..

[MENTION=53]Booty[/MENTION] - LOVE that signature XD!!

[MENTION=57]Swamps[/MENTION] - Yea, the Streak is still a Milestone. Quite honestly, I don't see Taker dropping it to Lesnar. Lesnar has a few appearance dates. Taker has already said if he drops the Streak, it's going to be to someone with a long and bright future ahead of them. I see him dropping the Streak to Roman Reigns if he beats Lesnar. Let's hope HHH n company don't fuck THAT up.

I'm just wondering if Bray could ever really be the WWE champion? Could anyone really picture that? Hopefully they learned from where they went wrong with the SES and keep the Wyatt's going strong for a long time to come.

[MENTION=39]Castiel[/MENTION] - Oh hell yes he can be champion. Had Bray come to the WWE during the Attitude era, he would have made the perfect heel champion. Hence why I see him as a spark for a new, modern attitude era. He has that flare! That type of persona, and I think Booty is right. I think WWE Creative is letting him write his own material. That's the smartest thing Creative could have done. Hell I remember when most of the wrestlers wrote their own stuff. I miss those days.

As far as Cena is concerned, WWE has sold plenty of Merch with Cena's image. Heel turn him and let's get this party started!

I actually wouldn't mind them adding a member or two to the Wyatts that actually convert not like DB did. Which I believe that was them just trying to keep Bryan away from the WHC scene because I do think they don't think he is the guy.

Then they are making a big mistake. DB is the Austin of this era. Even Cena never got the kind of pops DB is getting.

The ratings haven't helped his cause. You can't compare the two. Cena always had huge pops when he first became WHC. You can't compare the two. Cena has sold more merchandise than anyone according to some reports.

I want DB to be the top guy but people have to watch and I am afraid that once he wins the title will people not care. The chase he has been on has been a great story and fun to watch.

Sigh, it's not just the merchandise, its the work ethic and the promotional work he does for the company outside of the ring. He is the face of the company and there's no reason to change that while he's still capable of handling that responsibility.
