Not to be a complete nerd and nitpick everything but...
The idea of Bray Wyatt’s gimmick is absolutely next level stuff, and Vince has obviously toyed with it.
A once evil man is trying very hard to turn over a new leaf. So much so that he hosts a children’s TV show to help positively influence young minds. But this man is so disturbed that he unknowingly creates a vile persona to fulfill his sick urges to harm and destroy people. A wrestler with a split personality. And Wyatt is so damn talented, he would have made this work perfectly.
So now time for my nerd rant: Vince has already dropped the split personality aspect of the character, by Wyatt essentially admitting and knowing that he is the Fiend. If he’s openly telling people that he’s the Fiend, why would he bother creating a children’s TV show as a front?
It’s just Vince having no faith in his audience to understand anything other than BAD GUY and GOOD GUY. Another example of Vince having to spoon feed us is the classic backdrop with all the victims with Xs over their faces. And did I mention that he’s already overexposed the character by having him do the SAME THING for 4 weeks in a row?
Holy shit Vince, just please hand the book over to your son-in-law. Absolutely brutal. Thankfully the character still has plenty of juice, but it’s novelty, creativity, and uniqueness is quickly going south. What a shame because Wyatt created an amazing look with a great story for his character.
Rant to be continued when the Undertaker pins the Fiend clean at Survivor Series...
