Being a "cop/army man/secret agent does not require acting beyond what they do in the ring as tough guys. Probably feels safer for WWE to produce that, than actually stretch their stars or features ones with range. How they didn't do B horror films with Kane/Undertaker is a real mystery tho.

Didn't the guy who directed See No Evil mostly do porn up to that point and also Vince fought hard for Not Kane to have a giant knob for some reason?

I watched some NXT this week for the first time in a while because of the time switch. Kinda meh overall but I did really like the O’Reilly/Grimes match.

Don't get why they never tried to make a movie with their intellectual properties SNL style.

hearty chuckle at "Randy beats Bray with one RKO after a forgettable match" is what happened at both Manias 33 and 37, just one had projector maggots and the other had a box-like structure and GEEEWWW

The only good Fiend match was his retrospective with Cena. Bryan and Owens did their best. Those matches are all ok. On a curved scale for The Fiend. I'll admit I just hate The Fiend though. Bray Wyatt promises a reinvention. He debuts this sinister Mr. Rogers character. I lean in to give it a chance even though I thought regular Bray Wyatt was regularly terrible. Turns out he's got The Fiend. Ok, what does The Fiend do? He comes out to a remix of Bray's theme doing the same entrance and wrestling the same style. drat. Then he did a neck snap for a nearfall and I decided to tap out. You can't do a neck snap as a transitional move and a mandible claw as your finish. Luckily I turned out to be right about The Fiend being terrible when they did that Hell in a Cell match. Woof. Bill shouldn't have buried him, but it was a Saudi show so oh well. Fiend lore is the most eyeroll-inducing thing WWE fandom pumps out and that's an impressive feat. I don't give a poo poo about whether or not Alexa Bliss is channeling the goo of Sister Abigail and how that goes back to a promo Bray cut in 2013 NXT, lads. I just want to see a good wrestling match.

they should've just kept bray in his original gimmick and let him be a manager/tag team dude with a rotating set of minions that he leaned on for the heavy lifting in the ring, but that would've required wwe liking managers, stables, and tag teams all swamp cult leader bray needed was to not always get chumped out

D.N. Nation posted:Summerslam 2020: The Fiend d. Braun Strowman for the belt Real plodding falls-count-anywhere big guy match only notable for Roman showing up after. Also, why did they change the title here? Weird. I believe this is when they decided that, after The Fiend...killed Braun in a swamp, maybe?? that the evil supernatural borderline-murderous force was the face and Braun was the heel. So they put the belt on The Fiend to give Roman extra HEAT

As a farm owner, Bray should become a 50s-90s country bumpkin style character.

Goldberg squashing him in 3 minutes for the title was all I needed to know they didnt give a poo poo about him and his dumb lame gimmick. or at least, that they gave less of a poo poo about him than about an old guy.

Goldberg squashing the Fiend loving ruled. Goldberg squashing Owens kind of ruined WM33. But also it basically led to the creation of AEW? So, thanks Goldberg.

It's important to note that Seth really did do everything he could to make Bray look good, it's just that everything around it was so dumb that Seth looked like a loving loser.

I will say, Seth would've flopped as the top babyface anyway because he's such a tool, but man, like four months of feuding with Corbin, then getting cashed in on by Lesnar, then that Fiend poo poo. He never had a chance.

I like that setting The Fiend on fire wasn't enough to vanquish him, so Randy Orton resorted to a wrestling move.

It’s been a while since they did the insanely dumb thing of trying to use a gun in a wrestling angle. Maybe it’s time to have Randy Orton dressed up like Elmer Fudd chasing The Fiend with a hunting rifle or something.
