Wyatt is in danger of somebody deciding that they could stick a fiend mask on basically anybody and still crank out shirts that say ookie spooky and clown face replica belts, which is probably what they're doing with Bliss anyway

I want to imagine that Vince told Braun he couldn't take him seriously anymore after Shane beat and slimed him. Just the classic Vince "forgetting" he owns the company and decides, probably writes most the time, the storylines and acting like it's all a shoot thing.

What’s the last time Bray did anything good, was it the time he first won the title in an Elimination Chamber like 4 years ago?

Bray named his kid Knash Sixx, which is in many ways the ultimate fiends trick

Bray would've been mostly fine if he wasn't over-exposed and put in 15 minute segments every week where he goes on to lose a 3 month feud every single time.

WWE cutting Fiend would be the biggest mistake they could make. You could build an entirely new competitor off the back of the Lore of the Fiend. Think: Lucha Underground but with box like structures

Honestly, as much poo poo as we give Bray on here, if he was outside of WWE, his creativity would probably be pretty loving interesting. Both iterations of Bray Wyatt were good before they got Vince'd.

Alan_Shore posted:What match was that? Was it the one with the box-like structure? If it was, do you think Bray Wyatt booked that himself and it's his fault or perhaps was it some old disease-brained man who doesn't know what he's doing that makes anyone cool look like poo poo You said he was "by far" one of their most over performers, what kind of reply is "But he didn't book that!" when someone calls you out for that being bullshit?

The Field is hokey af and Bray isn't very good at wrestling, but neither of these facts have stopped other people who are even more hokey and bad at wrestling from getting over given competent enough booking. Of course that's exactly the thing that WWE is lacking the most, so what can you do?

Bray Wyatt was over back when the Fiend thing started, but I dunno how much that has lasted except among WWE superfans with far more money than sense.

Y'all it's months later and I still can't get over the phrase "box like structure". I refuse to believe those were actual words written by a real person for another person to read life on television.

Astro7x posted:The only way I would honestly give WWE another chance at watching full time live weekly shows is if someone else bought it and did a complete WCW Russo/Bischoff shakeup where they just reboot everything. There is no way to salvage the current shows they way they are. There is no announcement that makes me think things will change as long as a McMahon is in charge. I don't think you necessarily need to go that far. Plenty of people can be salvaged just by better promos and better booking. The hopelessness comes from the fact that Vince is charge so neither of those things will ever happen. Almost any talent is salvageable with good booking. Wrestling fans have goldfish brain and will get behind anyone who is properly pushed. Remember when Roman had competent babyface booking for literally four weeks and people got behind it after years of booing the poo poo out of the guy? They hosed it all up of course, but you can do it.

The Fiend and Alexa Bliss are still really popular with the "I don't like wrestling I like WWE" weirdos. Still doesn't mean they are safe from the chopping block.

coconono posted:"gently caress you I'm not gonna look like a dummy in front of a live audience" is always an option. But it sounds like Bray couldn't be bothered to push for something more interesting because he was missed his friend Brodie Lee. I would like to remind everyone that literally the first thing Bray did when he got back in the ring was look straight down the hard cam and yell YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!! at the top of his lungs. He is, actually, very good.

I'm really conflicted, that most recent Wrestlemania live thread was like the most fun watching wrestling I've had since like 2003, but watching the weekly shows has been so painful. I've just PVRd everything and skip through like 60% of it recently. If a tighter roster can mean more focus then that's cool, and while I didn't think Aleister Black was very interesting, it's so weird to cut him (and others) while they were still actively doing stuff. I'm a very casual watcher/fan though so I probably don't know what I'm talking about. Have they ever referenced the firing of talent in a show before? Like had a character say "man if I don't win next week I'll be cut too!" Or something?

They did work Drake Maverick's release into a story on NXT where he got to try and keep his job, the payoff for that was Triple H coming out with a contract for him to sign. It's one of those things that seems heartwarming on its face.
