10 Ways WWE Has Warped The Minds Of Fans
5. No, Bray Wyatt Vs. Braun Strowman Wasn't Good Storytelling
On the subject of "storytelling"...
WWE plainly resents itself; Vince McMahon "makes movies", and does not promote wrestling matches.
*Bruce Prichard talking about a mid as hell hell Attitude Era match with Conrad Thompson*
"And what was so great about it is that it told a story..."
WWE's use of the word "story" is the goddamn worst because it suggests in itself that WWE is worthy and superior to other wrestling shows on which only wrestling apparently happens. WWE is different, for you see, they tell stories. Bray Wyatt Vs. Braun Strowman was a story not at all germane to professional wrestling, but because the point is missed by so many, who reflect WWE's bullsh*t back onto itself, it was praised as a great one.
Wyatt, in his swampy cult leader form - the one he disavowed on TV because he was a lazy f*ck by his own admission - was somehow powerful enough to create a crisis within Strowman. They worked am-dram theatre and straight to dollar store cinematic matches. They s*cked sh*t.
Strowman died, came back to life, as a heel, kind of turning the Fiend face by default - murder is a virtuous characteristic now - and Sister Abigail is apparently the manifestation of one's desires, and not Wyatt with a lisp. Strowman learned the secret of resurrection, but needed a box cutter to expose a wooden board and took so long doing that he got his face f*cked in.
Great story.
