The "being a mouthpiece for Harper" thing is kind of funny to me, as I feel like Harper did the best Bray Wyatt promos. As in, he was creepy and disturbing, but used it to get to his point without rambling.
The biggest fuck up of that angle with Orton is, they buried the one guy who actually got over in it. Because WWE Creative doesn't know that a guy out for revenge, while a storytelling trope, is a trope because IT FUCKING WORKS. They dumb lucked into a great story, but because Orton is the established guy, they didn't run with it.
I'm not saying Harper should be WWE World Champion right now. What I am saying is that Harper should have had a feud with Corbin during this time, to help get either or both ready for a solid run on top. Instead, they take him off TV for six months, then put him back with Rowan with an even shittier gimmick as punishment for doing what he was supposed to do as a wrestler.
