I love Wyatt and have more patience for recent nonsense than most internet fans, but yeah it's been a downward arc since the initial Wyatt family stuff

When they began teasing Wyatts vs Shield, it was red hot.
In that same time period, I remember HHH was champ and had 'hired' the Wyatts somehow to beat up Roman and others. And they did, but in this very 'you've summoned something you cant control' way - and a RAW ended with them kind of looking at each other and Bray suddenly noticing HHH's title and like, touching it gently and smiling. Felt like such a cool big thing was happening(nothign ever happened)
Later, the Bray/Roman saga where they wound up teaming was so fun. I dont care, Bray pointing blind as Roman speared some dude was awesome. Then Bray got hurt or something
Later, when Braun came out and the family did this 'dark horsemen' thing, that was fun because like holy poo poo none of them have to be 'good' when you have Bray's 3 absolute monsters just throwing people through walls. As I recall it went nowhere
Even the initial Firefly Funhouse stuff was so fun and had such promise before THE FIEND. And EVEN THEN, you could have done something decent with that instead of what happened
And his cinematic thing was Cena was hilarious and fun

But he does need...specific types of matches built around what he can and can't do. Or particularly good people like Bryan to work with. And he needs to maintain a nebulous but constant threat over the whole roster, where his motivations aren't always going to make normal wrestling sense. And he has to, you know, win regularly. Or not have the spooky goofy stuff be so overdone as to get diminishing returns.

Anyway what I'm saying is with better writers and booking he could really be a huge asset and a perpetually-available main event heel or face. But also him just not doing anything for 4 month stretches before getting his rear end kicked in bad matches with dumb stories and no attached stables or stakes is fine too i guess

We’ll see what the next fiend angle is and if it will be good. I’m sure it won’t.

That's just unnecessarily mean, the man has been treated like poo poo for years and obviously his brain is unused mush. No need to say things you can never take back.

They already transferred the Fiend gimmick to Alexa.

I don't get why people need their faves to poo poo all over WWE immediately

Maybe tommy end is really dumb, but maybe he doesn't want to burn a bridge when there are like 3 bridges he can cross?

People here are definitely super weird about WWE workers in basically all situations, but also it feels like there's a difference between going "I'm grateful for my time in WWE" or "Vince was always willing to listen to me" and "The one guy who makes all the decisions for the company that shelved me for half a year and brought me back only to unceremoniously fire me out of nowhere? He actually loves my poo poo, and I don't know why all these lying-rear end 'journalists' are claiming otherwise."

Still not going to judge a dude who just lost his job too harshly

Aleister Black was going to kidnap Dominick. Also his look was meant to be Joseph Seed from Far Cry and not Garth Merenghi or David Koresh... I don't believe him.

Those feel like OK starting ideas that professional writers could work with in a healthy environment.

I'm actually surprised they haven't replaced him with Dollar Tree Fiend yet, like give I dunno, Tucker the whole getup and never acknowledge that it's a different person.
