A guy who looks like he bathes in the nearest Taco Bell bathroom sink being a germaphobe was ridiculous.

A gas mask can be cool and creepy, they put them on Orton's merch for years for some reason, there's Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid, "The Empty Child" from Doctor Who. Just... not like this, not with Dean, not for these reasons. You walk out into the HARSH bright lights they use, everything looks worse. Some moody promos cut in a dark room with voice distortion for a new guy, could be really interesting. I think a gas mask could’ve worked for Bray Wyatt to reboot his character if they never did the Fun House/Fiend stuff. Pop him with a gas mask, distorted creepy voice talking about how he had to cleanse himself of disease and now he’s returned with a vengeance.

If you're trying to be cool with a gas mask it better be part of a convoluted scheme to use mental time travel to win at life-or-death Sudoku.

The look was the only thing about the gimmick I liked. Beefier Dean was sexy and terrifying, the chain made him look disgusting, especially with the goat, and the gas mask Bane thing he had going with a hint of fascism I actually really appreciated. Unfortunately the matches sucked and the character was 'YOU PEOPLE SMELL.'

Eh, the only thing I find people making a fuss over dumb is Seth Rollins "...I'll have a lunatic in mine". Suddenly everyone criticizes that line when you know damn well they didn't take notice of it until Dean brought it up on the Jericho podcast. Which is a shame because I dug the hell out of that but I can absolutely see Dean’s side of it in how it didn’t need to be there.

The props irrelevant, it’s the execution. Jericho got a god damn clipboard over, the mask and his f***ing jacket weren’t the real problem.
