When Wyatt started the Funhouse it was great because it was a new character, something we've never seen before, and he would break character, get all serious and ominous for a moment to let us know that there was still some darkness in this happy character we see before us. Guys breaking character is just a favourite cliche of mine, so I particularly enjoyed this aspect. WWE sees that they are on to something, so they haven't messed with it a lot, but it typical WWE fashion, where subtlety is strictly forbidden, they have decided that the WWE universe is too stupid to figure out what Wyatt is trying to do here, so they do the quick flashes to The Fiend to tell us HEY!!!! BRAY WYATT IS THE FIEND!!!! THIS IS THE FIEND CHARACTER THAT HE IS DOING NOW!!!!! BRAY WYATT AND THE FIEND ARE THE SAME PERSON AND BRAY WRESTLES AS THE FIEND!!!
Yeah, thanks WWE, how would I have ever figured this out without your assistance.

They should probably just drop "Bray Wyatt" all together for now. They can bring in back in future when they need to modify the character, a bit like Mick Foly/Mankind/Cactus Jack/Dude Love
I feel like The Fiend can be the heel version of Mankind, The Firefly Funhouse Bray can be Dude Love and I guess Bray is Cactus Jack. All not exactly the same but you get where I am going.
Attaching "Bray Wyatt" to Fiend at the moment isnt needed because he feels like a new fresh character that does need to be tainted by reminding us hes Bray who was ruined for years on end.

yeah.... The Fiend should be treated as separate from Bray Wyatt. If the story is good, the audience will "play along"..... which then lies the overall problem with WWE.

Every segment I watch The Fiend appear seems really cool and then Michael Cole screams over it "BRAY WYATT, SISTER ABIGAIL!!!" and it takes me right out of it.

Well not even the FFH makes any secret who it really is. Despite Bray speaking about the Fiend in the third person. When they got to the Three Faces era, they didn't pretend that Mankind wasn't Mick Foley, and etc. etc.
And yet...I now wonder if mentioning that it is Bray so often is meant to keep away the fears of sponsors and such complaining about the character being too dark. Like knowing that it's really the goofy kids' show host under the mask instead of some faceless monster is meant to make it less scary. Granted I'll take that over other forms of toning down the Fiend that they could use, but...

I'm really just talking about the visual flashes to The Fiend whenever Funhouse Bray gets out of the happy character and goes serious and ominous for a moment. I know he is going into The Fiend character. I know he is talking about The Fiend. I do not need the visual flash to figure this out. I am not an f'n moron.
I watched a video on the subject of the WWE thinking we are morons so they have to tell us everything that is going on. Like reminding us 56 times per minute that the PPV is this Sunday. Like reminding us 40 times in a no holds barred match that there are no DQ's. Like countless examples where they repeatedly beat the obvious into the ground because (apparently) we are too stupid to figure it out for ourselves.

To quote myself from another thread: That imagery is so much more powerful without Michael Cole shrieking "THE FIEND! THE FIEND BRAY WYATT IS HERE! THE FIEND! BRAY WYATT! IT'S THE FIEND! BRAY WYATT THE FIEND IS ATTACKING DEMON KANE! THE FIEND! BRAY WYATT! FIEND! FIEND! FIEND!" |

You know Michael Cole talks during movies And has likely spoiled all of them during his life. "Oh my, I just received word that Darth Vader is Luke's father! How will Luke deal with this? Find out as The Empire Strikes Back rolls on!" |

Never trust anyone whose first name is "The". Unless it's The New Daniel Bryan, who is not a liar and hates lying. |
