It's already there with the weird puppets but this has the chance to be an awesome weird kids show thing in the vein of Don't Hug Me or Too Many Cooks. Yeah, I think that's where they have to go with this. Eventually have him descend further into madness with random disturbing shouting and violence before just as quickly reverting back to the smiley TV host we saw last night.

No Irish Need Imply posted:There's no reason why Lynch/Fox got two segments and Cesaro/Alexander got one. No reason to make Alexander lose in his debut in a one segment match, either. I feel like every match on Raw should only be one segment, except for the main event and stuff like that opening triple threat (which I wll say, went on too long when you consider the opening 30 minute promo w/ commercials). Like... when it's a match that's just to get somebody over with a win and no storyline, I don't need to see it go multiple segments. If Cesaro and Alexander are not feuding, having a quick match is fine. Lynch/Fox doesn't need to go two segments. Nothing needs two segments unless it is trying to tell an ongoing story. I want the whole show to move quickly and not be dragged down by multiple segments to see an obvious win.

No Irish Need Imply posted:No reason to make Alexander lose in his debut in a one segment match, either. There's no many people you could feed to both Cesaro and Alexander. You should probably make Cesaro lose anyway since he's been a tag wrestler for YEARS now. Cesaro and Cedric go on to tie a best-of-seven series and reluctantly tag as the C&C Wrestle Factory. Or does Cedric not have a first name anymore?

Thinking back on Last Night's Raw, I have to laugh at two triple threat matches to determine potential contenders and have the winners of the triple threats fight to be the number one contender. It was just so convoluted to get to Seth vs AJ.

DoctorGonzo posted:bryatt problem wasnt the gimmick or the ring work. the problem was that he lost all the time and looked like a loving idiot Yeah I agree with this, Bray's promos and gimmick started off strong and his mannerisms in the ring sold it well. Being a big creepy guy with a surprisingly fast and hard hitting style was good enough for in-ring too. There was some goofy poo poo (his loving crab walk) but that's allowed in wrestling. It was his booking that sucked all the life out of his character - losing frequently, winning via dumb poo poo like exploding monitors or children singing songs, and then continuing with the same long-winded promos. Calling yourself the new face of fear and flavoring all your promos with supernatural cultist language is fine if you win a lot or successfully brainwash people or do something. Eventually we all got sick of creepy swamp man's rambly promos about poo poo that doesn't matter and won't be built on. That's not because his delivery was bad or his wrestling was bad (at least IMO). It's just not a gimmick that works without a strong push.

As much as I will always love OG Bray Wyatt since he brought me back into wrestling after leaving in 2001 when he lost the family and kept getting buried there was no recovery there. The idea of this TV host slowly reverting back to madness and at the same time trying to keep up this happy routine would be outstanding. The big question is this though: How do you translate into the ring? He's in awesome shape now so there's that and the man can and will always be able to cut one hell of a promo, but this new character shift is going to be weird in the ring. Hell, the biggest thing to me is what is his music going to be? It can't be his old music anymore, but I'd LOVE if they used the up temp Sesame Street style theme.

new Bray character has incredible potential but they really need to lean into it or it will fizzle into nothing. I'm full out hoping his first match is just some brutal Waylon Mercy poo poo and they actually let him bleed or something while laughing hysterically, just anything to sell him as truly batshit. And if not that then go with putting people on the show as guests and maybe building up some bizarre RTC-esque clan that is a legit threat. I want the puppet pals to beat the poo poo out of Seth Rollins as Bray voices a dumb turkey telling him "look what you made me do" right before they crush his foot in a chair

The first time an opponent rips Bray's hurt glove off and he becomes helpless to fight back is going to be good. The next dozen times it happens will be stale very quickly

The idea of this TV host slowly reverting back to madness and at the same time trying to keep up this happy routine would be outstanding. It's been long enough where you can steal a bit from Waylon Mercy. Have Bray come out to kid's show music and the whole getup, and once the match starts and he's hit for the first time he goes absolutely loving psycho and DESTROYS his opponent, then as soon as the match is over, revert back to friendly kids show host like nothing happened. In one of his in-ring appearances before his first match (if they go that route) he should do like Mickey James did that one time and have a huge, gift-wrapped box with someone tied up inside, likely a lower-card face. Then he tells the audience how the tied-up guy is a "very bad man" or whatever and beat the poo poo out of him to a disturbing degree. They have to walk a very fine line with this character, though. This could either be one of the best things we've seen in a decade, or Gobbeldy Gooker levels of terrible. BigBallChunkyTime fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Apr 23, 2019 |

They'll do that except he'll lose, or at best get 50/50 booking Then they'll have a conga line segment with No Way Jose where Mercy is at the head of the line, so technically they're following the buzzards
