Dude...I hate to say it...but Bray is beyond being an "Immortal" at this point.
His booking has been too poor to ever be considered in the same ballpark
as those you mentioned. Taker, Sting, Kane & Foley were all generally well
protected at nearly every stage of their "in-ring" careers...Wyatt on the other
hand...I think WWE/Wrestling fans are getting too excited about this entire
Firefly Fun House/Fiend gimmick...and its still very early days at this point.
I still contend he hasn't really done anything of note yet...and until he feuds
with & DEFEATS a couple of "big names" well...its still just Bray Wyatt in a
shitty mask with different music.
Do you truly believe that Goldberg or Le$nar would ever put
the Fiend over?
Do you honestly think the WWE would ever book that?
Be realistic man...and remember that nine times out of ten the
WWE will take something over & ruin it because its not part of
the "overall" plan.
Honestly this entire Firefly Fun House/Fiend gimmick stinks
of a way to sell some merchandise...I mean just look at this...
And you can call me a cynic or a contrarian or a negative bastard...
but the truth is the WWE made me view their product this way.
The WWE made me distrust them...& frankly I don't think I'll ever
put any faith in them ever again.
I want Bray Wyatt to succeed...no matter what "gimmick" he has...
but I truly doubt the WWE will ever put him in a protected, top card
position...
And lets not forget...the Fiend is essentially a monster right?
And who do monsters get fed to in the WWE?
Hell...who does everyone eventually get fed to in the WWE...
Ugh...
Hurry up AEW...
I want to care about wrestling again.
Ya know, there really is alot to Brays new character, there are so many hints and influiences to past events, and if you pay attention and look at the little things you can see he put a ton of work and thought into the fun house and just the character as a whole.
The craziest part is Bray came up with the Fiend years ago, and nobody even thought about it, considered its meaning or anything.
All the way back then, he had the concept for the fiend allready figured out, meaning he also had the idea for firefly fun house all the way back then, and now hes finally gotten to make it. And i think thats why, or atleast one of the reasons everyone, well mostly everyone loves it, its Brays vision, its his idea, and he plays the role perfectly, exacutes it perfectly, and thats what everyone loves. Its unique its different its fresh and unlike anything WWE has ever seen before, its special, and its potential is limitless.
Part of the reason AEW is so hot is people love the fact these wrestlers are getting to speak for themselves, wrestle the matches they want tell the stories they want and hold nothing back, and i think thats part of why we all love what bray has been doing, its Brays vision, not vinces, and thats why its great.
As for them letting The Fiend beat brock or goldberg, i think they would, i mean, if they let Seth beat lesnar twice? they could definately let The Fiend win, afteral hes more believeable too, in terms of size and the fact Bray is in amazing shape, i can definately see it happening.
And honestly, Bray can become one of the all time greats, you can come back from anything if given the right oppertunity, and right now WWE has a golden oppertunity with The Fiend, with Bray Wyatt, all they need to do is let Bray be Bray, push him to the moon, and just let it happen, dont force it, dont stop it, just let it happen in whatever way it organicly happens.
So far, WWE has allowed Bray to nail this character, so far so good, time will tell if they can keep it up. And for Brays sake, i hope and pray they do. Like you said, Bray deserves it.
