Would a gimmick like The Undertaker work today? Was Bray Wyatt proof that supernatural gimmicks are obsolete? The Hardy's had a Broken run but in TNA and they're established already. Mordechai and facepaint Finn Balor were a disaster.

i for one fucking love hockey horror / supernatural things in wrestling. the orton feud with the undertaker back in 2004? or something was amazing. and ortons(he seems to be involved a lot in this sort of thing) feud with wyatt lead to amazing things aswell ( orton buring down the wyatt compound was toptier kino) the house of horrors match or something they had was pretty bad sadly.

No, supernatural gimmicks didn't even really work in his era, but Undertaker was a weird exception that somehow managed to hold it together. His natural size and presence helped a lot, because even if you stripped away all the fake hokey shit, he's still an incredibly intimidating man.
In theory, there's someone out there that could somehow pull off a supernatural gimmick today, but the odds are so low that it's not even worth pursuing.

Supernatural gimmicks can definitely work, if the wrestler's believable.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, bayou wizard shit doesn't work. Bray wasn't believable at all with his spooky swamp shit. Too heavy on the psychology.
