I can understand people being upset about this, this was an original fresh character that got destroyed by the horrible writing and booking of this company for the last 5 years. Never got a single babyface run, and had a character that should have lasted a long time. If this character had been in the early-mid 90s, it never would have had such an extreme repackage like we've gotten, the people working then would have been able to make it work and last.

If the rabbit turns out to be Dean Ambrose in a teddy bear suit in a rabbit suit, I will just lose my mind.

I haven't been able to keep up with product in like a year, but if I was able to...this would definitely bring me back in. As much as I was a fan of o.g. 2013-14 Bray Wyatt with hawaiian shirts and fedoras, I'm just glad to see him not be such a hated character anymore lol. Though that could change if it gets WWE-ified in the coming weeks.
I just want to say this though...The only thing I dislike about this new version of Bray is that he still has those stupid dreads. Not only that...he died them blonde and tied them back into a "manbun". Why??? He needs to fully shed every part of that horrible 2015-2018 Nu-Metal Ministry 'Taker time period for me to fully buy into this new gimmick.

I thought there was only so much love you could give Bray Wyatt. Turns out it’s all of it.
I really dig this incarnation. Mostly because he’s the exact same character, playing the same role, that of an evil, deranged cult leader, trying to get followers. Along with The Buzzard that you should follow and Abby as more physical side kicks than phrases, but looking at this character from a very different angle.
I can’t wait to see where The Buzzard will lead us.

This could be the perfect way to write out Cena. Cena, adored by kids, gets destroyed in a one-sided beatdown, by this guy who is trying to brainwash those children and fans

Just watched it again and a subtle touch that might just be a practicality thing or it might be deliberate foreshadowing is that it's specifically a cutout of Bray while he was a face teaming with Matt. Could just be it's because it's most recent so is what they had, but it could also be a subtle clue that that era is actually what he's rejecting, especially with Abby hanging around.
... Is his finisher going to be called Abby the Witch now?

Interesting to see that when I saw this on SmackDown last night, they were cutting away from the video to show the crowd watching it, and I didn't hear a sound - they were completely engaged. No cheering, no booing.
They had Byron react to it on commentary though with "I don't know, part of me feels like i'm trippin' and the other feels all warm and fuzzy inside"

I'm guessing this will be a split personality thing? Otherwise I don't want this with dark undertones, f*** are there any pure good guys left? The New Day? True, but even that started out as sarcastic

Wowwww Tom Savini was involved in the puppets for the FireFly Fun House. That’s very cool. Did they play it again on SmackDown? I missed it. Yeah it was there. This time they did those silly cuts to the audience watching it on the tron during the segment though.

Having re-watched it, I can't see anyone having a problem with it if you like Bray. He's pretty obviously still doing the cult deal. Very last line was literally him saying "I'll light the way, you just have to let me in."

If FAN still used cute filters I'd replace that for f*** in a heartbeat. But, why don't we use cute filters? I demand cute filters! Hell, we'll even replace the PG-13 swears as well. Replace asshole with 'experience' and it becomes a whole new meaning!

(Apologies in advance if Rindsidenews is one of da bad sites) www.ringsidenews.com/2019/04/24/wwe-received-pressure-from-stockholders-sponsors-to-drop-bray-wyatts-firefly-fun-house/Now some rumor newz says some stockholders don't like the Firefly Fun House "cult leader of children" vibe. So if true, we just might get the pre-planned payoff (of Wyatt still being evil this whole time, or whatever they have planned for this gimmick's endgame) much sooner rather than later if WWE decides to THINK OF THE CHILDREN. (Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, to 'get to the point' a little too soon rather than drag it on too long.)
