I like how this may end up being a licorice allsorts of WWE/NXT cults of the last decade, be they the Wyatt Family, Sanity, The Schism, and Dexter Lumis is there too. Just as long as it doesn't end up being the twisty one that is always left behind because everyone hates it.

This looks cool and I’ll give it a chance but it feels like it’s going to suffer from the same stuff that a lot of Bray’s stuff did where it looks cool in vignettes and so forth but doesn’t really translate to the actual wrestling side very well. I think that the best examples of what Wyatt was going for were the early Fiend(before it got Vinced) and the Funhouse match with Cena. It being a Kafkaesque nightmare fever dream seemed to be the best translation.
I love spooky, supernatural, and dark stables so hopefully it works…but if the rumored crew is true and it’s a bunch of people that were in Wyatt’s various cults it will almost inevitably turn into a “f*** yeah those people hung with Bray!” energy more than an actual new take on an old idea. This combined with HHH being notorious for having an elaborate entrance/debut and then not following through near as well raises concerns.
All of that said I do hope it gets over, has some awesome lore to it, and is great tv.

Very interested to see if the ''big reveal'' IS on Backlash or at a later date. If it's not today than I do have concerns that people might start getting bored with these QR code video stuff.

Yeah, a lot of Bray's ideas seemed to fall apart at the "And then they wrestle a match" part... it's where a lot of High Concept Gimmicks fail.

I'm interested in how they book a cult that is both creepy and sinister and at the same time a tribute to a beloved brother and friend who died tragically young. Will the fans overlook the circumstances of the group to boo them, will they be incredibly over babyfaces, or will they be something else entirely? They could end up being like the Ministry of Darkness or like the Oddities. I would actually be completely down for a babyface creepy cult, visiting wickedness upon the wicked. Kinda like some Batman kinda thing.

Drown In His Glory"Here in WWE a legacy is not something that gives you nepotistic opportunities anymore, it's an albatross that's around your neck that sinks you to the bottom of the talent pool." Remember Who You Are"We have bestowed upon this man a new name, a new brand that will forever be known around the WWE Universe-" DROWN IN HIS GLORY"This isn't a swimming pool! No matter how much you want it to be!" Begin the endless crawl"I've been in the Royal Rumble match now for 35 days, 26 hours and counting!" omnis finis a principio (every end is a new beginning)"I had one goal, and that is to become a WWE World Heavyweight Champion. And um, unfortunately, I got eliminated today. And I lost my guaranteed shot at a title. But that is not gonna stop me from becoming a future World Heavyweight Champion. See, I am the future of this company! I am gonna be a big time player in this machine called WWE. I am the next big thing! I am the next generation! And starting this moment, from now... from this moment on... this'll be the moment... starting now, of the genesis-" You Forgot About UsYou Didn't Want UsThey Just Wanted To Belong (B-Long?){Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} HE OPENED HIS ARMS{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} OUR PAIN BECAME HISEh...Man, I don't know. OK...look, remember that time Curtis Axel got a concussion and then HHH immediately decided he wanted to do a concussion angle instead (except, of course, that he would heroically try work through his fake concussion) and stole having a concussion from Axel? Yeah, OK, that works. There we go. Fine. It's Curtis Axel. The whole thing is bringing back Curtis Axel.

Bo is so goofy that it's hard to picture him as a super serious threat. People will be happy to see Alexa/Rowan back etc. It seems like it would be a challenge to get them booed. In the first few appearances at least I think people are going to want to cheer.

Bray was notorious for taking big swings. This feels like it might be the biggest swing of them all. A stable influenced by a guy who is genuinely gone. I don’t think they’re going to just hint at it, either.
I’ve been super slammed with work but have kept tabs on this stuff. I really, really want it to work but this is either gonna be a big hit or a total miss. Not sure there’s an in-between.
It’s a bummer Judgment Day is down a few folks right now because I wouldn’t be surprised if the original plan was like Judgment Day vs. whatever this group winds up being. Just keep them away from the Final Testament.

What does 2021 have to do with this, by the way, because in the developer tools code it says "shillings in a guinea, standard TCP/IP number for FTP" which are 20 and 21, respectively.

So PW Insider has revealed who will be apart of this group. {Spoiler} {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} WHERE ALL THE LATEST WWE QR CODES ARE HEADING (SPOILER)
By Mike Johnson on 2024-05-05 10:01:00
All of the QR Codes on WWE programming of late are leading, as you may have surmised, to a new group that will play off of the Bray Wyatt Intellectual Property.
The group is currently planned to consist of:
-Bo Dallas.
-Nikki Cross.
-Dexter Lumis.
-Joe Gacey.
-Erick Rowan.
Whether some of them will be portraying new personas, we have yet to 100% confirm. Until the group debuts, WWE can always tweak their plans but those are the current talents who are part of the strategy.
The most notble thing is the absense of one Alexa Bliss that every single person was dead ass sure was gonna be apart of this.

{Spoiler}Hoping that isn't true since not a fan of leaving Alexa out or of putting Gacy in this group, though at least he'd probably be decently positioned by having to do the heavy lifting for the ring work of the group given he's kind of by far the best one listed there.
