I like the intensity and colour he gives to his shtick, but the actual content tends to irk me on occasion. The laughing too, yes, seems maniacal for the sake of being maniacal. Still, whenever he's speaking, I'm listening, so what do I know really?

He's like a high schooler pretending to be a professional wrestler. The hair in front of his face, the brooding gazes, the annoying laughing at everything, and most of all the stupid nonsensical "deep" shit he espouses all the time. Humanity is like a virus? I want to puke. I get that 13 year olds eat this shit up, but god damn if he doesn't make me want to hit the skip forward button. He's like the epitome of the Fedora meme minus the atheism schtick. except he's not supposed to be a person espousing them, it's not supposed to be deep. He's supposed to be a literal demon.

He's something completely different on the current roster and he works. He's young, he's effective and he acts his role better than nearly anybody in the current product with his nuances and subtle indications.
He really does have something and just get it.
When you consider he's the patriarch of the Wyatt Family, a faction that was one half of the best WWE match in years, that had the crowd in the palm of the performers hands, he must be doing something right.

Can't wait for his face turn when he swaps the shirts for a knitted sweater over his shoulders with a JBL hair cut staring meaningfully out over the ocean.

I haven't been able to shake the high school drama club vibe either. I get the same thing from Ambrose and Dolph too. They're like meta wrestlers. I'm not a fan, but it is what it is.

It's like he's playing a character instead of being the character and saying cryptic bullshit that is open to interpretation so that he doesn't have to say anything of substance. That laugh is weak as well.

The laughing at just about everything is the only thing I don't like about him at the moment.

I wonder what you thought of Undertaker in the early 90s. Bray Wyatt is in a different league to early 90s Undertaker. Early 90s Undertaker couldn't go much more than 10 minutes, and the gimmick mainly hid his limitations (mainly a back injury). except he's not supposed to be a person espousing them, it's not supposed to be deep. He's supposed to be a literal demon. That makes it dumber. If he is supposed to literally be a demon, it's a demon who spends his free time on Twitter quoting Johnny Cash songs to threaten his enemies. Isn't that half the point? He thinks he's deep and different, but he's just a whiny old Kevin spouting nonsense.

Honestly, I think something that would make the character a lot more interesting is if they acknowledged the Husky Harris thing. Could play it a lot more ambiguous in an actually interesting way there - is he faking being some nuts cult leader? Did the punt scramble his brain? Is he telling the truth in claiming to be a demon possessing him? Was he always this psychotic and just trying to pass himself off as normal, be it due to not being very skilled yet or as something of a scouting mission? There are a lot of ways you could take it.

Right, I guess I mean more about you saying this about Wyatt... and how anyone could just say this about early Undertaker too: He's like a high schooler pretending to be a professional wrestler.
The hair in front of his face, the brooding gazes . . . and most of all the stupid nonsensical "deep" shit he espouses all the time.

I will not deny that Bray Wyatt is the corniest of corny shits. I will however say that wrestling itself is extremely corny and I in fact revel in its corniness, so that just makes him extremely entertaining to me. I just love the fact that one moment it's like this super serious wrestling match, then the next "Ladies and gentlemen, excuse us for the demon that entered the arena. We'll get that fixed in a short whi--DEH!" Honestly, I think something that would make the character a lot more interesting is if they acknowledged the Husky Harris thing.

On twitter(even demons use twitter now) he said that Husky Harris needed him and he needed a vessel. I want that to be canon.

I'd have someone bring up Husky Harris on air, he responds with that, then there's a lot of room to explore it in different ways from there. Granted, that'd require more subtle and character-based writing than WWE could ever pull off.

It's no worse than a deadman who does magic. I love the gimmick and think fits perfect in the odd world of pro wrestling.
