MJeff posted:I thought for a sec, oh, is Bray just gonna be a normal guy who talks like a human being this time? I honestly didn't expect that. This just really proves the reporting that Bray had a lot of control over the Fiend character correct which means the odds of this being the Fiend part 2 are super likely. Which means it's gonna be super funny when this runs into Cody at some point

If the Codyverse and the Fiend-verse intersect I might actually watch WWE again. Or at least those segments. Just out of the morbid curiosity.

The new song sucks, but Bray is back and I'm glad he will be fighting himself (and probably losing and becoming) an evil entity. When the copyright was put on during his entrance I knew the ending was going to be something cool.Conrad_Birdie posted:If the Codyverse and the Fiend-verse intersect I might actually watch WWE again.

Hey, man, at least wait until the movie comes out before you deem it a failure. *googles* What the poo poo? I've literally seen nothing about it since it came out. No reviews. No people on Twitter riffing on it. Nothing. Bray and Cody should just do one of those movie matches about their daddy issues at Wrestlemania. It would entertain me.

I think Rusty is on to something, but Bray is definitely more maniacal. His good ol' boy persona is suuuch a red herring. The only thing I'm trying to decide is if Uncle Howdy is just a split personality aka The Fiend, but Bray is such a god damned genius that I can't imagine he'd go to that well again. Therefore Uncle Howdy has to be some kind of sinister being from the Wyatt farm. All I know for certain is that I am IN on whatever Bray thinks up next in that beautiful mind of his.

Honestly, Bray's tapped into an incredible gimmick. poo poo like Lost and True Detective has proven that people are willing to go to insane lengths of speculation and theorycrafting if an entertainment product presents them with minimal clues about something creepy/mysterious/vaguely supernatural. That's great for engagement and buzz, but the fatal flaw of those shows is that they are narrative series that ultimately have to come to an end and provide resolution, which means telling the nutso speculation corner of your audience "Sorry, those theories you came up with were wrong," drawing their ire and dissatisfaction. But wrestling has no set deadline for resolution. A guy can just go out there every week, drop something vague and let people's minds race. You might hit a point where a normal person goes "Hm, seems like he's just a kind of spooky evil guy in a mask who wrestles sometimes," but the true believers will never stop speculating, never stop dissecting every tossed aside reference, never stop coming up with grandiose theories that have no precedent for being shown on wrestling television — but that doesn't matter, because they have convinced themselves that Bray's genius is without precedent!

I think this really nails the problem with the Spooky Lore-Heavy type of character. People LOVE to speculate but at some point you have to actually progress a story and given that it's a Wrestling Show that runs 52 weeks a year into infinity so you can never really have a resolution to any of that Lore. I guess it's kinda ironic in that it ends up mimicking a lotta horror movie franchises where they would just go on too long and get so lost in decades of Lore that it just falls apart. Also at some point there has to be Wrestling Matches which is also where it often falls apart.

Well, Bray also can plant seeds about future opponents and you can be vague about stuff like corruption or mind control, kind of like Malakai's mist or whatever. What's good with a character like Bray is you have a ready made way to repackage someone in a stale gimmick like you did with Julia Hart I think Liv might be getting that treatment right away
