Hot garbage.

Bray Wyatt and his 'Family' had arrived on Raw weeks before the 'Biggest Party Of The Summer' in grand fashion, kicking the sh*t out of Kane despite looking remarkably like pro wrestlers rather than dangerous woodsmen, all to set up a "Ring Of Fire" encounter. The rebadged Inferno Match was a total disaster.

The match sucked, but the finish was somehow even worse. With result determined by pinfall or submission, the threat of somebody getting set on fire was removed, and good job too. There was no intent of performing the stunt, or any stunt, despite the flames still being gimmicked to shoot towards the sky with every big bump. Bray's goon squad botched their way through a beatdown. A kendo stick was sort-of-almost on fire and immediately put out.

Wyatt won with ease after the fact, but couldn't have looked more like a loser. Not least while sporting his own WWEShop.com clobber.
