No. Silly gimmicks rarely work these days.

Not supernatural, but I'd love to see more gimmicks like Mankind and Goldust circa 1996, where they didn't have super powers but used mind games to gain an advantage over their foes (and got into programs with high profile stars like Taker, Michaels, Warrior, etc). Bray is the closest thing we have to that, but his booking has left him as a nonexistent threat. Balor kinda does this with the make up - it may work better as a heel. I'd just like to see some more creepy gimmick, they don't have to involve magic

No thanks. The whole Undertaker/Bray stuff before Mania was just too bad.

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. What was supernatural about Sting? He wasn't he was just dark and mysterious.

As long as they're more Kane/Taker and not ECW Zombie, sure, I'll at least give it a chance.

No. The furthest it should go is Bray Wyatt being a cult leader, a human cult leader with human abilities.

Count me amongst the no thank yous. A lot of that silliness in the 80s/90s turned me off the WWF. Luckily I had NWA/WCW which took a more realistic approach and then the attitude era came putting most of the silliness on the back burner.

I feel like Demon/Corprate Kane was as low as they could get. But Bray would be the one to do it, just in a creepy way that has everyone invested.

If it involves an extended tag title reign for the Winchesters then I'm in.

I mean, if it meant replacing Shane & Stephanie with Rufus & Bobby as Co-GMs, I guess I could come around to it.

Meh, what the hell? I say go for it. It might make things interesting again.
