10 Positive Developments In This AWFUL Post-WWE WrestleMania 35 Season
9. Firefly Fun House
The introduction to Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House was as eerie as it was audacious as it was inspired: just a jaw-dropping bit of work that somehow conspired to create excitement around a dead act many fans could not bring themselves to respect posthumously. They pissed and danced on the exploded TV monitor that acted as his gravestone.
The second vignette, while not as impactful, still showed much promise. Bray, wearing a beret, welcomed us with a hearty "Bonjour!", using absurdist humour to mask the monster inside. "When you're expressing yourself, no-one can ever truly hurt you," he said, applying one last brush stroke to a nightmarish painting of a burning witch. Did this phrasing convey his regressed frame of mind, or hint at the invincibility of the monster he will unleash in the future?
That's what's so wonderful about the Fun House: the mysteries within yield an exploration otherwise absent from the gruelling exposition that pervades WWE programming. The name of our new puppet friend again reassured fans that the old, goofy disappointment is in fact dead. 'Rambling Rabbit', a rib of a name, spoke in a voice similar to that of Wyatt's old weird, mystic hippy cadence: where Wyatt said "Mannn," Rambling Rabbit said "What's up, Bray? You paintin' over there, dude?"
WWE has killed the old Bray, and replaced him a far more terrifying, insidious monster coherent to WWE's primary colours production. Additionally, Bray voiced Abby the Witch, and didn't use a lisp!
Rejoice!
