Taker was involved in some great angles and had some great matches. He didn't really turn into what OP described until the mid 2000s.

they're kind of right
you can't have him out there every week doing 50/50 booking and what not
he needs to be a special attraction like Taker and Brock
come in, do spooky shit, win or lose his match, repeat again in a few moths

The worst part of WWE has always been the in-ring stuff. I’m a lifelong fan and half the time I fast forward through that, it’s just the least compelling stuff. Bray is a genius because he understands that and has made having short, impactful matches an art.

Absolutely true. But that's not the same as not caring about matches. A good match comes down to the story being told (during the match), drawing heat, working the crowd, and selling. Managers played a huge role in that back in the day too, and really need to be brought back and made more prominent fixtures. Hogan actually had good matches by those standards. He wasn't just looks and promo. In fact, his promos were energetic and got the job done, but not close to the best for his day (would easily be the best today of course). Hogan knew how to work the crowd during his matches and he had them eating out of the palm of his hand. Crowds were really into those matches. You just can't say that about Bray Wyatt. People will pop for his entrance and some spooky spot, but that's it.

Off topic, but Hogan is the GOAT.

The mid 2000s is the first time in his career he was delivering good performances though. I can't think of a single match of his before the Orton feud that is above 3/5 stars. I know I know, the HIAC matches but that's really him just standing there while superior workers take all the bumps.

Doesn’t draw with the people that matter. Interesting characters, entertaining segments, and exciting promos are the most important parts of wrestling, because that’s what sells.

I strongly disagree. He had a lot of solid matches in the 90s and early 00s.

Some of my favorites from before Taker returned to the Deadman gimmick around 2004 include:
Survivor Series match in 1990
vs Hogan at Survivor Series 91
vs Yokozuna at Survivor Series 94
vs Bret Hart at Royal Rumble 96
vs Mankind at Buried Alive 96
vs Vader, Bret, Austin at Final Four 97, also one of my all-time favorites
vs Bret at SummerSlam 97
vs HBK at Bad Blood 97 HiaC, which you don't want to count but too bad
vs Mankind at KotR 98 HiaC, which again you don't get to just dismiss
vs Stone Cold at SummerSlam 98
vs Rock, Benoit, Kane at Unforgiven 00
Royal Rumble match 01
vs Lesnar at No Mercy 02 HiaC
vs Rock & Angle at Vengeance 02
vs Jeff ladder match on Raw 02

Brother, Hogan himself has put on some outstanding matches. He knows how to work a crowd and have them eating out of the palm of his hand. If you want to see a more brutal, realistic looking Hogan match, search for his matches with Stan Hansen in Japan. For Hulkamania era Hogan, I enjoyed most of his matches. Against Andre at Mania 3 was good. Fuck Meltzer. The Slaughter match at Mania 7 was another standout. But his best run was the Mega Powers storyline. So many great matches came from that including the Mega Powers vs Mega Bucks at SummerSlam 88, the Main Event 2 in 89 where the turn happened during the tag match against the Twin Towers, and of course versus Savage at WrestleMania V.

It's not about workrate or what some guy from San Jose thinks, but you do need crowd invested more than just your entrance. The drones love the cellphone lights & the spookiness but when the bell rings and time to advance the story in the ring, no matter what incarnation Bray is it just always underachieves, not just match quality but interest.

Bray's characters might work in a 2-hour indy movie but it doesn't work at a weekly wrestling show, I can't even recall many TV shows with "spoooky lead" having a long run. I personally liked Papa Shango but it would be hard to book that too, and he even at least looks more intimidating than a fatty like Bray
