Wyatt Family has to be one of the most backwards-booked factions ever

I find it astonishing how not only did the writers and Vince McMahon not get the original three, but they essentially booked the members the right way in the wrong order.

- Luke Harper: great performer, highly eloquent, good actor, never the strongest character. Instead of being the tough-as-nails, excellent in the ring, "almost as charismatic as Bray" type, he never gets to speak, was never given any sort of unique character on his own, and very rarely got to show out in singles matches (the two awesome John Cena matches being the exception).

- Erick Rowan: oozed with what the kids today call aura; his little swag walk, the head tilt, his size, the entire look in general. Rowan was lowkey always one of the most creative guys on the roster and so dedicated to his character (the serial killer vignettes he did on his own, and the symbolism behind every single mask he wore being key examples). Weaknesses were promos (good voice however) and in-ring work (although he wasn't bad at all, just green). Instead of being the secret weapon of the group with a gimmick as good as Bray's, he never got to utilize his creativity, and was the designated jobber of the team.

- the less said about the treatment of Bray Wyatt the better. "I lose all my feuds and accomplish nothing in defeat, leaving no repercussions on the babyface in the short or long term."

The Wyatts are fondly remembered and rightfully so, but to me it's absolute lunacy that the OG trio lasted just over a year on the main roster. Craziness, especially considering how much chemistry they had together and how they completed each other.
