Enzo's treatment and brainwashing of his "Zo Train" on 205 LIVE have been a more effective cult storyline than anything I've seen from Bray Wyatt.
Edit: Tony Nese is his own follower, needing to 'learn his place'. Looks like Gulak might turn face down the line. I like Wyatt, but he's not an effective cult leader.

I'm so ready for a face team of wholesome dork Drew Gulak and wellmeaning dudebro Tony Nese.
But man, f*** that crowd for chanting "This is boring".

Enzo's been one of the best things in the company for the last three months now.

I don't recall which poster here on FAN said it, but Titus O'Neil is also a much better cult leader than Bray Wyatt. He followed a couple guys who are too meek to refuse his management services around, and he quickly became their manager.

In a promo on Raw yesterday the Zo train were his employees. Is it really a cult if you're getting paid to be a part of it?

Hell, Brian Kendrick has more successful conversions than Bray Wyatt and he wasn't even trying to convert Gallagher.

God, it hurt my heart seeing Gulak beat up Nese.

It's not really a cult if he's paying them (which for story purposes, he is).

True, he's paying them....
But the acts and treatment feel so much more than "boss paying them to be his mercenaries" and more like the Zo Train is an exclusive group or brotherhood who must do what Enzo wants in order to "prove loyalty" to him.
Heck Enzo even mentioned proving loyalty there multiple times on 205 live.

I'm 100% behind a Gulak face turn I hope he uses Powerpoint presentations to interrupt heel beatdowns.

Divari saw what time it was. Get rid of Tony, take his cut and get more money.

Enzo is light years ahead of Wyatt in every aspect but working.

Yep and it is because he's actually got lackeys and it is more subtle. The other Wyatts weren't lackeys, they were goons. They only helped do Wyatt's dirty work rather than actually communicating with Wyatt and engaging him like Enzo and The Zo Train. As for the subtlety, storylines work way better when things like this isn't outright said. Anytime the WWE goes full in on something and tries to say "hey guys look at this, that's what this is, yeah yeah love it guys" it doesn't work as well as it could have. Same with the Wyatt cult stuff.
