Wait! Don't be fooled, it's just the regular Bobby Roode with a stupid mustache! He still embodies all the bad booking he did before!

VJeff posted:The thing is, Bray is already showing really subtle character quirks that make you think this could really be something because, at the end of the day, Bray Wyatt is a hell of a performer. That's the worst part. Bray is pretty good at character stuff, although I don't really like his in-ring style. Hopefully he's changing that up. His gimmick has just been cut off at the knees every time it looks like it's getting over.

Him as world champ was over. Then...all of that just got flushed at WM33 and he's never recovered.

Procrastinator posted:nu bray should not wrestle. Agreed, should have him recruit the B-Team cause that's a tag team name that is just perfect as part of the Firefly Funhouse Sanguinia posted:If I were writing a gimmick like this, the show parts would be tapping into the rarely-used bit with Bray where he would know things about your past and bring out all your deep psychological wounds and weaknesses. Having him talking to his creepy rear end dolls about your abusive home life or starving on the streets while you worked the indies or the string of broken friendships you've burned or how your kids cry every night when you're not there to give them love, all in that saccharine, patronizing "I'm going to teach you a very special lesson!" kind of way that kids TV has, that's pretty effective in my mind. Then you occasionally break that up with the actual creepy TV Ghost artifacting and hyper serious deadpan delivery of certain lines. Exactly, Bray works best when he's emulating Mick Foley rather than Undertaker

It's pretty interesting that Raw chose to apparently start pushes for Cesaro, Roode and Bray, continue on course with Sami, and then also have Joe, Corbin, Drew and Lashley and Leo already established at the upper midcard or main event tiers. And we didn't even see Buddy Murphy tonight, and that's not discussing the tag division. They are REALLY heel heavy, and one presumes that there's at least a chance that they're planning to turn AJ since he's taking on Seth. With Roman and Dean gone, if AJ did turn who would even be #2 Face?

It says something that I forgot Rey was there even though he had an awesome match TONIGHT. Its hard to think of him as anything other than The Veteran here to please the crowd and put up-and-comers over.

Rev. Harry Powell-meets-Mr. Rogers seems like an awesome character that would be a perfect fit for Bray. It's just too bad WWE/Vince lacks the nuance and patience to let that gimmick play out as anything other than a joke.

Here's what I don't understand. I like Becky Lynch, I like Alicia Fox, I am ok with Lacey being Becky's first feud and getting that out of the way/seeing if Lacey sinks or swims (likely sink because Vince is too horny to see when someone needs more time in developmental but whatever). I like Cesaro and I like Cedric Alexander. 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. 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. Vince is the absolute best at putting together matches where neither person should lose. Sanguinia posted:And we didn't even see Buddy Murphy tonight, and that's not discussing the tag division.

Cedric losing to Cesaro may just be Vince thinking that the bigger man should be able to overpower the smaller wrestler.

Apparently Takeover: San Jose may be cancelled due to the Saudi show happening the day before, according to the Observer. I can't imagine how much that would gently caress up some ongoing storylines in NXT. Only posting about it here because it involves the Saudi show.

The brilliant thing about the new Wyatt repackaging is I can very easily see how they can slow drip in the best parts of his old persona while still taking it in a fresh direction. Wyatt was ruined when they basically had him wheel through the same poo poo constantly while having him get beaten. This is a shockingly smart move.

It would rule so loving hard if over time the skits become creepier and more disturbing. Just keep feeding in little hosed up things in the background over time. 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.
