The Swamp Fight pitting Bray Wyatt against Braun Strowman was supposed to play out like a horror movie, but... aren't horror movies supposed to be scary?

This didn't even have the charm of a B-movie. Played without a hint of irony, this was a dire, po-faced slog of a cinematic bout that took itself far too seriously from start to finish, whether Wyatt was playing with snakes or dunking 'The Monster Among Men' in the swamp. Imagine one of those Sharknado clones but the creators made the mistake of thinking they were building an award-worthy production: that's what this was.
