Bray Wyatt Possession

[Ziggles]

Who thinks WWE should make it a thing where if Bray Wyatt beats you he takes you under "possession" (until you snap out of it) like he did with Daniel Bryan a couple months ago?? Would be an awesome start with a pinfall on John Cena at Wrestlemania.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Daniel was never really a member of the Wyatts. He lured them into a false sense of security and waited for the perfect time to strike when he was alone with Bray.

It's a horrible idea.

I thought this was going to be about Bray Wyatt possessing Husky Harris and turning him evil like the tweet he made about it a few months ago.

True...



It's a horrible idea.



:n:

I love the idea and possibilities... BUT I can see how it could complicate things. Either way, I still think he should turn Cena into a Wyatt at Wrestlemania..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sorry it's wrestling not Mortal Kombat.

[Ziggles]

AND WRESTLING IS REAL!!! Sorry, I forgot we are in the "reality era".

[ron the dial]

because professional wrestling is beyond ridiculous concepts such as deriving power from an urn. hold on...

Not a bad idea and I see where you're going with it, but I wouldn't go that route.

Simpsons di- Nexus did it.

[screech]

Sounds Ministry-esque and I loved me some Ministry.

I was actually thinking they'd do this from the start with the people they ambushed after matches.

[Sepholio]

They clearly are doing this. They have Kane possessed already. That's why during one of their promos during The Shield feud a couple months ago Bray started laughing and told The Shield that maybe they have been their masters all along. Because they already have an agent in The Authority.

Think about it, they abducted Kane. He was gone a few weeks. He shows back up and quickly sheds his old gimmick for the Corporate Kane gimmick. Coincidence?

Wrestling conspiracies rule.

That really needs to come up at some point on the show. Like, Daniel Bryan kicks his head so hard that it knocks the Bray Wyatt demon out of him, and Husky Harris has to rehabilitate and adjust to missing a few years out of WWE history, like a chubby bearded Captain America (only he was gone for three or four years instead of like sixty).

Then meanwhile, Bad News Barrett shows up with a rocking chair and a lamb mask and is all "I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NYEWWWWS....."

[Heisenberg]

Sorry it's wrestling not Mortal Kombat.

There's nothing wrong with Mortal Kombat

[Heisenberg]

They could have people join and explain that he is the answer to getting a push. He shot up the ranks and he knows the answer. They could have a B-Team Wyatt Farm Animal stable as well.

I want Bray to come at Wrestlemania and spit tobacco out and swat it into the crowd. That would Wyatt as hell of him.


Tatanka Wyatt

When I saw the thread title I was worried that Bray had been caught carrying drugs.

More hate and negativity from STD. :(

Let the new guy breathe a little before you come down so hard on him.

It doesn't have to be magic, of course. He could kidnap and brain-wash the weak-minded guys on the roster.

Like...Zack Ryder.

This makes enough sense where I could see a bunch of plot points leading back to the Wyatts' behind the scenes manipulation. Bray might be the anonymous GM from years past!

[Curd]

Great idea. It would be reminiscent of how either you joined Raven before he pummels you or you join after getting whupped week after week.

You never let me breath easy before you go down hard on me :naughty:

[Bad News Gertner]

During that whole Daniel Bryan thing, Bray should have "possessed" Brie Bella instead of Bryan. It would have made a cool wrinkle to the feud.

[Bad News Gertner]

Sorry it's wrestling not Mortal Kombat.

I take it that you've never seen CHIKARA.

[Hanso Amore]

I would prefer it if he just started wearing a leather coat and banging the guys girlfriends he beat.

[Hanso Amore]

The leather jacket is key to this.

[Swiss Ultimate]

You never let me breath easy before you go down hard on me :naughty:

I set my pace with the breathing, not my fault.

[Theo Dious]

I will never understand why wrestling fans eat up cult and brainwashing gimmicks. Quite frankly it scares the fuck out of me.

[Swiss Ultimate]

ONE OF US....ONE OF US...

Honestly, it's just a cool and convenient explanation for heel-turns. Raven's Flock in WCW was fantastic, NWO was amazing, The Ministry was okay, Corporate Ministry sucked etc.

Basically, it's a neat wildcard to throw into your show. Wrestlers gotta keep their eyes on their valets and tag partners or they could be kidnapped and brain-washed to hate you.

[Hanso Amore]

How was the nwo a
Cult or brainwashing? It was a bunch of wwe guys invading wcw

Was going to ask this myself actually...

They lured good guys away and turned them bad.

Remember Macho Man sitting in the ring and demanding answers? They got into guys heads and basically convinced them to join the dark side. I'm not suggesting that they tied them to chairs or anything, but it was obvious they they were doing something special to turn guys, even if it was just the promise of more money and fame.

And then the next episode he comes out as a member of the NWO.

Edit: My memory was way faulty on this one, he ended up turning at SuperBrawl about a month after this segment. Sting tried and failed to save his soul...possibly because Sting is Christian and Savage was Jewish.

I've tossed the idea of John Cena becoming a member of The Wyatt Family around in my head for a while. There are a lot of pros to the idea, but a lot of risky cons too.

PROS:
+ John Cena is dramatically freshened up. Cena would be a heel, which on its own is a revolutionary concept in WWE. But he would also stop shaving. I'm not sure if the WWE still have a marketing agreement with Gilette or what have you, but seeing an unkempt John Cena could be...almost frightening in a way.

+ Bray Wyatt gains credibility. If he has John Cena working for him, then he's almost invincible. Simple as that.

+ Cena isn't Daniel Bryan and isn't "white-hot" right now. He's very over, don't me wrong, but he's been the poster boy for almost a decade. He's the status quo, and I think that being captured and programmed by The Wyatt Family is much more intriguing storyline than what they attempted to do with Daniel Bryan, who already had a distinct path in front of him.

+ It's a storyline that could grab the WWE a lot of attention. Cena shedding his credos for a darker persona might inspire "Have you seen John Cena lately?" discussions. It's basically just the added spike from any "John Cena turns bad" scenario.

+ Cena turns heel, but he has an out in that Bray Wyatt has brainwashed him, and the announcers can make excuses for John Cena as he does terrible things in the name of Bray.

+ It's a creative break for John Cena. Maybe Cena loves doing the same thing week in and week out, but as a performer, he probably likes challenging himself every now and then. Can you imagine a bearded John Cena telling the WWE Universe that they booed him when he gave them everything? His world was burning from the neon lights and he didn't even know. It'd give Cena an outlet to just be...different for a few months.

+ People might actually start missing the John Cena of old. A grand return to form and a triumphant return against Bray Wyatt could lead to the Cena brand coming back -- but would it be as strong as ever?

+ It's a creative break from John Cena. I'm not saying this to bash Cena; but it's just a case of there only being so much room at the top of the show for super faces. And if the WWE really wants Daniel Bryan to be the guy, then taking away that "safe" option of Cena means that Bryan must rise on his own. That sounds scary, but you do have guys like Sheamus and The Shield (as a unit) waiting in the bay. It also means that the casual fan that just wants a hero is going to be more driven to accept Daniel Bryan, since it's not a case of Coke or Pepsi with Cena in the franchise role. Or the casual fans might react differently, which brings us to...

CONS:

- The casual fans may not take too kindly to Cena now being a bad guy, and stop watching the WWE because their hero has betrayed his mantras. It was always the negative to turning John Cena heel.

- Pressure on alternate faces to step up could see guys cracking under pressure, or not being as successful as Cena and potentially tarnishing their brands as well.

- Merchandise sales for John Cena would probably drop. The WWE could probably be sneaky and try and sell something the casual fan could buy to support their hero -- a "Come back, John!" shirt, armband, cap, etc. This was always the risk of turning John Cena heel. There does come the potential positive of Cena and The Wyatts moving a ton of adult merchandise, but the adult demographic may not be as kind to the WWE as the younger fans.

Well, that's basically the list, and while there seem to be way more pros than cons, the cons are pretty fucking big ones. Still, if the WWE is satisfied with the numbers that Daniel Bryan and others are making them, or that they know CM Punk is on his way back, or that they can somehow make money out of this venture -- I would creatively be fine with it. I just want to see John Cena looking like a mountain man.

As ridiculous as this might seem, a part of me has kind of wanted to see Hornswoggle join The Wyatt Family. Not in a huge shocking swerve or anything -- although they certainly could do it that way -- but even if they just have him show up with The Wyatts in a backstage segment.

I don't know how Dylan Postl is at talking, really. I don't know if he can play scary. He wouldn't necessarily be there to be a big scary threat, but he'd demonstrate the abstract things that Bray Wyatt looks for in certain followers.
"I have given you the chance to be taken seriously whilst society has laughed at you."
Bray would be giving Hornswoggle the chance to be more than a joke and more than a novelty act. Some matches against El Torito could actually be fun. Provided that Hornswoggle can actually wrestle. I'm not sure.

Also, Hornswoggle is a former RAW General Manager. Having Hornswoggle in his Family means that Wyatt could possibly have some inside contacts, if he doesn't have those contacts already...

Hornswoggle could also be used to one day create sympathy for The Wyatt Family. Bray's admiration for the little guy could be exploited by a nasty heel if Bray is ever meant to be wearing a white hat. OR he could be used to blame certain losses on, and get beaten down by Luke Harper and Erick Rowan after a Wyatt Family loss.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Gotta change his name though, can't be Hornswoggle.

Oh, how TPWW has changed over the years.

I could see the entrance either being enhanced or ruined by the addition of Hornswoggle version 2.0
