And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It turns out that reminding people of the potential that the sex pest former head of the company squandered is a really good way to get someone over.

I'm being sincere in saying this: Bray, and the Fiend, is the zoomers Undertaker. His reach is very far and it doesn't translate to older viewers who well we had The Undertaker. They didn't, they just remember an old decrepit biker.

I can not emphasize how much you only remember the best of Taker. The Streak contains Giant Gonzales, the hanging of Big Boss Man and the abysmal Syd match, and you ignore it because you only remember the best of the man's career. Which, to be fair, couldn't be killed by coming out to either Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit and in fact had some of the best matches with those unfortunate themes.

no no when i say he's their Undertaker i mean including all the dumb bad poo poo too, because The Fiend is so much dumb bad poo poo that we, as adults, see as dumb bad poo poo that when written about makes it even more clear that he's the Undertaker in all its campy horribleness.

The red cell is just the 21st century Undertaker rising from his grave after Yokozuna's casket match. Or the Fake Undertaker.

Being full of dumb poo poo is why he's so over.

Okay, that's entirely fair. WWE/F wouldn't be itself without at least one insane supernatural gimmick.

Undertaker was also involved with a lot of really dumb bullshit and terrible matches back in the day, so this tracks.

AEW is cool and all with it's heavier focus on workrate and what not but the peak of my love for wrestling was when it was all dumb poo poo all the time (Attitude Era) so Bray really rubs that itch for me.

The thing Bray often has, good or bad, is the same thing Taker had which is giving off the vibe that Something Is Happening.

Also internally with all the popularity he had the company saw him as their Taker and used that to justify the bad booking. "He can take a loss, they'll still love him"

Which hell, it's hard to argue completely with that, he just came back from being a budget cut and got the companys' fans' biggest ovation of the year before even showing his face onscreen

Ah, so you haven't seen Bray Wyatt before.

It really is amazing how there's so much about him that people want to like, but man the end results are always disappointing.
