#1 Bray Wyatt created his own character with intriguing inspirations

Bray Wyatt is responsible for creating most of his own characters.

Usually, WWE is very strict about the creative department and the creation of new characters in the company. However, this is one rule that does not seem to apply to Bray Wyatt. The superstar created his evil cult leader persona based on a combination of Charles Manson, Waylon Mercy, and Max Cady.

Waylon Mercy is a former WWE Superstar and Wyatt based a lot of his character traits on him. He also used Charles Manson, the infamous cult leader, as a point of reference. Max Cady was a character portrayed by Robert De Niro in the film — Cape Fear.

Wyatt was also the one responsible for creating The Fiend. He has been the mastermind behind the different aspects and numerous easter eggs hidden in The Fiend's storylines.

As a result of his characters and the changes he has made to them, Bray Wyatt's creative genius is something that WWE respects, and they certainly let him do his own thing. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said regarding his onscreen booking, which has been mostly responsible for Wyatt's major downfalls.
