Honest question here. How much effort was NJPW versus wrestlers being allowed to get themselves over outside of NJPW because they were a gaijin group and used youtube to record themselves for shoots? I mean he walked into NJPW and attacked the champions day 1 and won the belt 30 days later. TBC was already established and he took the lead 18 months after he was there as Karl Anderson was the BC leader in NJPW and AJ was the ROH leader.

I think it's a major difference on why New Day got over and the Wyatt Family didn't. I don't think Bray has the ability to get himself over outside of the WWE while the New Day seemed to be throwing ideas left and right to the WWE. Same with the Hardy's as they had the creative ability to get themselves over despite TNA.
