Also, naming the buzzard after Waylon Mercy is top notch.

So my question is, how this will translate in the ring. It doesn't really seem like the sort of gimmick that will have a lot of legs outside of pre taped segments. But with that said, it has to be better than the shit he was doing before. Good god, I can't fathom it being worse. I'm guessing in the ring he'll try to be nice in the beginning until he gets pissed off enough and then he'll be in full blown "yall have pissed me off too damn much here's that shit I was trying to hide from you" mode and go wild on his opponent.

But with that said, it has to be better than the shit he was doing before. Good god, I can't fathom it being worse. Yeah, that's going to be the problem with this gimmick. As a gimmick does need to translate to the ring... but yeah... it would take a lot to be worse than what he was doing I think it's easier than we're giving it credit for. He starts the match just trying to have a good clean match. Some technical stuff, and just enough, JUST enough of the rough stuff in there to remind you who he is, and he's chiding himself for it. Like, he hits a really nasty looking forearm or something, and you can tell he's giving himself shit over it. Then his opponent(Oh, let's just say Dolph...) comes at him with a slap as a receipt, and all that stuff SNAPS, and it's on, and by the time he's won the match, he's back to happy, smiley kid's show Bray, and doesn't even remember or acknowledge the lapse.

I just realized he can also throw in Eric Andres opening gimmick of destroying the entire set he's in only for it to be rebuilt instantly.

Creative idea, and lots of interesting directions it could run in, from a realistic "he's just psychotic and somebody has him on meds" to "he was 'punished' by a higher power (IT'S ME, WYATT!) whom he now serves this way" full on gonzo Lucha Underground style.
So, basically: WWE, do yourself a favor and let this guy run with his idea and let it develop. In other words, don't WWE it.

It's brilliant. I love it. I have a feeling Bruce prichard produced that video segment. I hope he does it as a live show like pipers pit now and then.

I just watched it again and yeah, I'm still really digging it. Guy needed a change and I'm really interested in seeing where they go with this. I'm just wondering what his theme song will be and what he'll wear when he wrestles.

So he's like mr. Pickles? I'm on the west coast haven't seen it yet. No, because Mr. Pickles actually sucks and only exists to try and offend the viewer by doing everything offensive and tasteless imaginable while presenting "Hey, it's a demon dog!" in your face every 15 seconds.

I think it'd be a mistake making it an in ring talk show segment. They'd be better off shooting his show like they did tonight whenever they decide to do it.

I hate this. I absolutely hate this. WWE took someone I liked from the beginning and for years they found new and disappointing ways to ruin him in the eyes of everyone, and yet I still enjoyed the character and the gimmick. I was so elated when he finally won the WWE Championship and enraged when he jobbed out to facilitate the Jinder Experiment yet I still stuck with him. WWE has just about killed Bray Wyatt off for good with this gimmick and I will be unable to cry when they put the last nail in the coffin. f*** you, WWE. Just straight up f*** you, WWE. Maybe dont blame WWE for this when Wyatt has been hinting about this idea on Instagram for months? He's been as all in on this idea as anyone and is probably the one who suggested it because his character desperately NEEDED to change. I know I can be pessimistic but if you can't see the undertones of creepy foreboding shit that is within this new iteration as always with Wyatt, then I don't know what to tell you. Uncanny Horror is in right now, a coat of paint over horrors is something a lot of products have done to great success, and Wyatt looks to be trying his own swing at it. I'm all for it, because if Bray came back as the same thing, he would have went nowhere, and you have to realize that.

I can't believe they actually turned this into something good. Its probably the best Wyatt has been positioned on the main roster.

Well, then you got a more suitable analogue to discuss in what this character is, and is a case of WWE actually following on the current trends. And, possibly being subtle about it. Though, WWE being WWE, this subtlety might be derailed in a week or two. I also am wondering how this will translate to the in-ring aspect of the character when he returns to action.

Hard to kill something that's already dead (i.e. Bray's character as-is before this funhouse thing).

This is setting up a Bray Wyatt / Nicholas feud.
