they should hand out white bunny/rabbit masks to everyone the commercial before the show/segment starts. have the a voice ask them to please put on the mask. when the show comeback the arena is black, a video plays, red light pan to everyone in the crowd wearing the masks.

At this point, it’s not whether it’s Bray, it’s how awesome is this version of Bray going to be. Remembering Cult Leader Bray and 2 months of Firefly Funhouse and then eventually the first look at The Fiend. This is going to be so much fun. Wyatt6 I still hold that swamp cult leader Bray Wyatt would be a f***ing all-timer villain in just about any genre or medium or work except for mid '10s WWE. Imagine that same character with all of the ambiguous "does he have powers or not" stuff transplanted into something along the lines of True Detective season one. Or a psychological thriller. Slasher movie. Gritty comic book about demons. Folk horror send-up trading out rural European paganism for the American south. Some Lovecraft tribute shit. Anything that didn't have Vince McMahon's hands on it. Anything that would let him be the main villain and succeed instead of being a top level job guy meant to be a walking plot excuse for f*** finishes who then gets trounced in overlong feuds that never live up to their true potential. The character Bray built was a well conceived, well-acted-for-wrestling-and-genre-fiction, interesting character completely undercut by an old man who didn't really understand what to do with him, so Bray would get these promos that never had any meaning only because he'd be able to do what he wanted with the character and then the booking woudl show up and make it look like a joke.

So Friday is probably just another tease and he isn't coming back until Extreme Rules right? If I had to guess, something a lil more concrete that leads the tease on, yeah.. they should hand out white bunny/rabbit masks to everyone the commercial before the show/segment starts. have the a voice ask them to please put on the mask. when the show comeback the arena is black, a video plays, red light pan to everyone in the crowd wearing the masks. You tryin’ give me a heart attack?

It’s only been a couple of days and look at the buzz building already. They could easily milk this for another month or so. Let it hit fever pitch and it’ll make the pop for the reveal even bigger. Like Jericho’s save us teases in 2007. Those played for about a month and a half. Or for more recent examples Cody/Punk debuting in WWE/AEW. They were dropping hints each week for a month or more that they were coming but they never actually said their name or officially announced it.

All of this is the coolest shit to me, because it means that Bray actually has been vibing on the influences I thought he was all this time. I've got friends who I share an interest in like new media horror stuff with, a lot of series that use ARG elements not just for marketing, but to make their stories interactive. Friends who aren't into wrestling at all, but who I showed Firefly Funhouse to because it absolutely hit on the same vibe as a lot of that early-mid '10s Youtube horror stuff. Now, Bray is putting together this big cryptic thing with QR codes and cryptid puzzles and stuff to hype up his return, and it feels like he's taking even more out of that playbook now and all those stylistic ideas. Dude is easily one of the strongest creative forces in wrestling today, and it'd be neat to see him start back up on that. He had unprecedented ability to work with a lot of stuff Vince wasn't giving anyone else in the modern era, but in the end Bray still got shit booking and nonsense in the end. A fresh start for him can only mean good things. the only issue I have is If they are keeping him as something similar to the Fiend... he is treated like a special attraction that's not around all the time... or that the "normal" Bray sticks around and wrestles a different style breaking out the Fiend at different intervals when a feud requires it.

This is such a weird thing. Like, either they’re using all of Kross’s LU imagery to hype up someone else (presumably Wyatt), or they’re using it for him, even though he’s already been back for like two months now. I got to thinking what if this is ..both? Like what if this is for Kross but it is about reintrodoucing him as some WWE version of the White Rabbit and Wyatt is slowly pulling strings here and maybe building a faction...like first Kross and then maybe he starts go after Alexa to revert her back to Fiend Bliss. Would not be the first time WWE has taken from LU though so. This is what I'm wondering as well. If it's a work on both Kross and Wyatt. There's way too much on the nose stuff (obv including the song) from Kross's time in LU doing the White Rabbit stuff. But something else I thought of...in the hangman game, everyone is talking about the word DEMON or the missing leg. But what about what comes after the word DEMON. XI....11? At first I thought Kross's roman numerals, but those are XII so, 12. And it did have the hourglass as I mentioned before. So this definitely feels like either massive (unnecessary) misdirection, or a mash-up of both Bray and Kross's imagery/presentations. It'd be pretty cool if all that hourglass and tick-tock shit Scarlett and KK have been doing since returning was more misdirection for Wyatt, not just the championship and Roman. It's fun to speculate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And my friends that don't like wrestling, but LOVED the Firefly Funhouse stuff are eating this shit up. A buddy of mine likens it to the the very early viral marketing of Blair Witch with the clues, and mystery around it.

I mainly hope that whatever it is, and at the minimum has to have Wyatt involved, that the follow-up is good. A lot of times the vignettes and speculation are way more fun then anything that they actually do with the character. Hard to retain that momentum weekly.

My best guess is that the last big tease happens at Extreme Rules and he shows up at RAW in Brooklyn on October 10. They've billed it as the "season premiere," so it'd make sense they want to do things there.

This is actually just building up to revealing that Triple H is returning to the ring because he's gotten a robot body.

Let me lend credence to deepen Kross's involvement here and while I do not think any longer that this is solely about him we are past this I still stand by that he is involved. What is Kross's whole thing right now? changing the timeline....now stay with me here lol because I am going goin all LU here for a moment. What if Kross (whethere directly or indirectly) doing his timewimey has released this new version of Wyatt ...to take it even further back to the interwebz theory , what if Alexa did infact trap The Fiend/Bray in some f***ed up reality and now with Kross playing with time has released him. And this was all Kross's doing but it is not touched on untill far down the line when the two inevitably feud which I think is an obvious given with their characters. And the reason for the bunny is Kross's timelines Krossing over.

Bray is great at bringing a character to life but he never quite especially in the long term really sticks the landing and everything just falls apart. Maybe his luck changes under Papa H but even HHH isn't all that great with the spoopy stuff...remember how long he had Mei Ying sitting on the damn chair untill he just up and turned her into Wendy Choo.

If he was involved, you don't post tweets acknowledging what's happening. This is more of an "I appreciate the interest in my previous work, but this ain't me" type of post.
