Bray Wyatt's New Gimmick Breaks The Internet
'Firefly Fun House' and all its colourful weirdness is a viral hit...
It's been less than 24 hours since he cut the head off his 'old character' on Raw and smiled the most sinister of smiles, but Bray Wyatt's 'Firefly Fun House' is already reaping rewards for WWE.
Since the video was uploaded onto WWE's official YouTube channel on Monday night, footage of Bray's creepy gimmick tweak has romped to approx 1.2 million views, and counting. That, according to some on Reddit, makes the vid #11 on YouTube's trend charts.
It's a success then, and word continues to spread on social media about Wyatt's eerie (cult-leader-esque) children's TV presenter guise, so expect that number to rise quickly.
In other news, director Jason Baker posted on Twitter saying he had a "blast" working on the Funhouse vignette and other hype pieces alongside Wyatt and legendary prosthetics creator Tom Savini's workshop. Savini is best-known for providing make-up, models and prosthetics for George Romero classics like Dawn Of The Dead, Day Of The Dead and other iconic horror flicks like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
His team, along with Baker's vision, helped WWE create something that has almost broken the internet in a stunningly short period of time.
