At least the people who paid for this got what they were promised. After the stupid f***ing eye match I was fully ready to read about the set-dude-on-fire match ending without anybody being set on fire.

I thought the visual of Bray on fire and being RKOed was amazing enough to finish on. Seeing Bray go back into the ring WHILE STILL ON FIRE was badass.
The fire in the ring just looked hokey. I wanted Randy to get some marshmallows and make Fiend s'mores.

I thought the visuals looked awesome.
Really want to know what's going to happen next.
So, I enjoyed it and I want to see more - that's a pretty solid win for WWE right there.

I loved the visual of the entire thing....especially when The Fiend got initially set on fire and just ran back into the ring to attack Orton.
It is too bad that things like this just do not work logically within WWE but then again nothing really does with how they tell stories...because Orton should be put in prison he went way beyond the parameters of the match.

Yeah the dummy was overkill.
BUT SERIOUSLY BRAY WAS SET ON FIRE RAN INTO INTO THE RING AND WAS HIT WITH AN RKO. KUDOS TO BOTH MEN! VISUAL OF THE YEAR.

I can't wait for the Very Special FFH that results: Mercy: Yeah, um, well, I'll save Ramblin' Rabbit's remains when HE returns... Alexa: Mercy...when people get burned to death, they don't come back. Mercy: Never? Alexa: Never. Mercy: But who's gonna brutally destroy our enemies? Who's gonna sneak attack people when the lights go out? Alexa: I'll do all that for you, and tell you bedtime stories and feed you Rabbit remains at night! (C Wrestling hops on YouTube and does a 10 minute video how this proves Alexa will finally become the Female Fiend, Sister Abigail, etc. etc.) Mercy: Yeah, but it won't be the same. Alexa: But we all have our memories of HIM. We can remember the times HE made us happy, and made everyone else terrified. Mercy: Well I still don't understand it! Things were perfectly fine before! Why does it have to be this way? Alexa: Things have to be this way just...because. Mercy: Well....you know, I'm gonna miss you, Mr. Lyatt! Everyone: That's WYATT, Mercy! WYATT! Was...was that based of Big Bird finding out Mr. Hooper died? |

The only thing i didn't like about it was the clear dummy swap right before Randy set The Fiend on fire. It just looked terrible seeing The Fiends deflated gut. It looked like something out of cheap movie when someone gets thrown off a building. I half expected Wyatt to be screaming off screen. Awesome match though.

The Fiend having the Mandible Claw on Orton while on f***ing fire, and the fiery RKO afterwards were amazing shots. |

If this continues, I want Bray thrown off the roof like Al Bundy and his stunt dummy

Bray will be fine, I mean the same thing happened to JR and it didn’t affect him at all.  |

Yes, this is entertainment - but the hazards are (sort of/not really) real.

At least the people who paid for this got what they were promised. After the stupid f***ing eye match I was fully ready to read about the set-dude-on-fire match ending without anybody being set on fire. That's honestly how I felt. My wife and I said a couple times, "I wonder how they are going to puss out on this". Making direct references to the Rey/Eye shenanigans. Then they actually did it. Multiple times even, with the Fiend running around on fire and the obvious immolation ending. So I guess GRATS to the WWE for once actually not overselling what was going to happen. I tuned into watch some poor bastard get set on fire, and you did not disappoint. |

If, God willing, this is the last we see of that awful Fiend gimmick, I give this match a retroactive ***** rating.

*Sunday afternoon*
Son: Dad, I want a PS5.
Dad: Yeah right. You can't find it anywhere.
Son: *shows ebay listing*
Dad: You gotta be smoking sherm if you think I'm paying that much. The only way I'd buy that is if Randy Orton sets The Fiend's whole body on fire in the middle of the ring tonight.
*Sunday night*
Son: Look dad! Look at the tv!
Dad: Jokes on you, your mom told me during an argument 11 years ago that I wasn't your father. I knew being told that would pay off some day.

I still think that even if the dummy looked slightly off (it's only because they picked one with Regal's build for some reason, instead of a naturally chunky guy's) then the image of of Bray with his back engulfed in flame for real and not caring about it was absolutely nuts. Hell I'd say from Randy's POV what he did probably didn't even seem like excessive force after he'd just borne witness to that. By the way major props/insanity points to Bray for doing that fire spot backwards despite having dreadlocks. |
