Would you be open to more supernatural elements in WWE? I'm talking soap opera stuff like voodoo, demon possession, magic, spells, etc. Is this something someone like Bray could pull off, or is it impossible in today's WWE? Would you want to see it?

Ehhh... no.
WWE can barely book natural elements as it is. Leave it to Lucha Underground, where it's actually done well. Bray should flatout be a strong cult leader - his voice is the only power he needs. Well, and one of those STUPID IDIOTS to actually learn to book him properly.
I wouldn't be against another Vince vs. God feud, though.

Nah. I always thought possession angles were stupid.

It's honestly in how the superstar is perceived by the fans. If people saw creepy cult type stuff from Bray Wyatt. They'd be more interested when he kidnapped someone if that's the angle were playing up. Converting them to a cult so to speak. Would've made way more sense with Bryan. People say that some thing like Shango wouldn't work during this day in age, but boogeyman did. So really what's the difference. If the star can get it over I say go for it. Hell.. undertaker had been dead for years. |

Of course; it's a television show and that stuff has a wide appeal...all the stuff Undertaker did back in the day with lightning bolts, moving the ring, etc is cool to watch.
Does it have anything to do with wrestling? Probably not, but as we know it's not wrestling anymore, it's sports entertainment - so why not.

It worked for the Undertaker and continues to do so. Like Orton vs Undertaker back in 05 or whenever it was that was awesome. I don't think it'll work as well with new guys because they're not Undertaker, Taker is so well established people don't question why that's just Undertaker. Bray could maybe get away with it but I fear if they tried and failed it'd be one of those wrestle crap memories that'd bury Bray.
I'd like to see it I guess but I don't really think it's work / get over.

Of course stuff like that has always been popular and entertaining to watch. Undetaker, Kane and Sting are Legends and they were dark and mysterious.
There are so many great guys floating about atm with nothing to do and zero character so make them dark and give them magic and it would put them over instantly.
Take Boogeyman for example he was one of the worst in ring workers I have ever seen but his gimmick got him over and kids loved him.
However the only problem is today's booking. I fear that in today's WWE they would build a dark character up and then have them get destroyed by a face.
It happened with the Wyatt Family when Cena destroyed them beyond repair.

Just like the Undertaker Bray can magic himself into the ring if the lights go out. He's even got into locked Hell in a Cells and Elimination chambers. We all know in real life they dash to the ring when the ring when the lights go out but in kayfabe isn't it suppose to be by teleport? |

I like a more realistic approach to my wrestling. Leave the sci-fi stuff to the movies.

Yeah, because that Papa-Shango-cursing-the-Ultimate-Warrior angle was just SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

You mean should we make wrestling look any more fake then it already is so we as wrestling fans have to hear the "you know its fake right?" Comments twice as much??
No thanks.

In the interests of fairness, we usually bring that on ourselves by calling it a sport. But yeah, no more magic powers please. Magic powers are the one thing I dislike more in wrestling than the current "hello long rematch #255226894" booking. |

if done properly and didn't come across cheesy, then sure, you could have elements of it. the wyatts could have certainly gone that route.
