10 WWE No Mercy 2017 Impulse Reactions
8. The Best Man Won
Thank god Finn Bálor had new gear.
Professional wrestling should be a feast for the senses. What you see and hear (and live, occasionally touch) should be an overload that reminds you exactly why it can be such an escapist thrill. Food even tastes and smells better when enjoyed with the shared excitement of sports entertainment done right.
Bray Wyatt, now at his lowest ebb just a week removed from being at his lowest ebb after several months at his lowest ebb, barely tantalises nerve endings enough to finish this sentence. His promos are hideous, his matches the pits and the total lack of creative investment in his persona has only generated matching disdain from the bulk of the fanbase.
So again, it's to Finn's credit that he had new grey togs. Merely a man, his alternate colour scheme was at least something new to look at as he went through the motions with Wyatt in their best match to date. Bálor's endless selling of Bray's pre-match assault was a lone highlight as the two scuffled their way through yet another fruitless endeavour.
And shock of shocks, Bray lost again. He jumped the man to get the advantage, he asked the man for this match to begin with, despite the fact he once even actually beat the man on television! It's hard to know at this point if Bray alone is as big a loser as the 'WWE Universe' member that wastes valuable phone battery life shining their torch during his entrance.
