So after watching the House of Horrors match last night, and what I have to prey is the end to this feud, can we establish that Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt has been the worst feud of all time?
First off, these two have had FOUR matches on Pay Per View. FOUR! One of them Bray won vie forfeit after Orton couldn’t compete due to an awful injury angle on the show by Bray (Backlash 2016) before then then had one of the weakest most plodding main events in Pay per View history (No Mercy 2016). They then stunk up the joint at WrestleMania 33, before outdoing all three matches combined and having the worst match I’ve ever seen in that House of Shit match.
I could rant for days about why that match was so bad last night, for various reasons, but the #1 reason was the fact I watched the show last night with a group of friends, 4 out of 6 of them hadn’t seen WWE since the Attitude Eras bar a few WrestleManias. They were pretty hesitant to really watch the show, but as each match progressed they really got into it, and forgetting that aspect of “fakeness” that can plague any returning wrestling fan. This match completely broke the illusion. They ripped it apart from beginning to end, and I actually felt ashamed to be a wrestling fan as I watched this shit unfold. They pretty much tuned out for the rest of the show, this match killing the vibe.
I’d also throw in here how much this story makes ZERO sense now that its finished.
- Why did Wyatt target Orton?
- Why did Orton align with Bray when the only reason he lost the first match was because of Harpers interference, not as Orton claimed “If you can’t beat them”.
- Why did Kane never seek revenge for Orton turning on him?
- Why did Harper never seek revenge on Orton for turning him against Bray, as he thought all along?
- Why did Orton choose to give up his title match with Brey, then change his mind? Why did Orton join him the first place? To break up “The Family”?. The “Family” was two people….and surely Orton just needed Kanes help to offset Harper if all he wanted was Brey one on one.
- Why did Rowen return to help Bray, but not help him in the House of Horrors match?
- How did Orton get to the arena before Brey last night?
- How did Orton even know where the House for the match was?
- Why did Orton no look like he’s had a fridge land on top of him by the time he got to the arena?
- And why was it DARK when Wyatt vs Orton were at the house, but LIGHT at the arena?
- Why wasn’t the WWE Title on the line in said match? Isn’t Wyatt owed a re-match?
- Wouldn’t Wyatt STILL be owed a re-match even more after beating the WWE champion?
- Why…..HOLY FUCK I ACTUALLY CAN’T GO ON!
I can’t think of a single feud WWE have ever run that can match this for worst. Its took up more TV time than most feuds are ever offered, was given the WWE Title to elevate it above others, was given 4 matches on Pay Per View to allow growth, and had two performers who should be able to give all this some meaning. Instead we got a silly, laughable mess that has left both men way worse off then when they started.
WORST. FEUD. EVER!
