Firefly Funhouse owns and now I'm sort-of interested in RAW which hasn't happened for a long time.

I'm curious though, with Dean Ambrose gone, who will lose to Friendly Bray Wyatt due to buzzard puppet interference?

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.

Free Luke Harper, or, if you cannot because you love him too much, Push Luke Harper
