9 Ups & 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (29 Nov)
3. Like Fireflies Around Sh*t, Part 2
Don't do this, WWE.
Don't think that by unleashing the funniest and most obtuse original element of the Firefly Fun House, all can be recovered for a character that remains lost at sea since the very first time the ship collided with the iceberg at Hell In A Cell.
With the hands of the author all over the whole thing (a rap starting with a "My name is Huskus and I'm here to say"-type intro line along with Bray Wyatt providing his own bleeps like he was Mauro Ranallo after a highspot), the return of the Muscle Man Dance offered none of the humour, charm or legitimate intrigue the original possessed because - and try this one again - all of that disappeared when Bray Wyatt's spooky bullsh*t was returned and reduced to just being Bray Wyatt Spooky Bullsh*t. Spooky and uncomfortably close to some rather dangerous prejudices too, though the "conspiracy" guise suggests this was by accident rather than design.
Daniel Bryan unconvincingly and uncomfortably looked on in that way WWE Superstars do, but what would his response be, King?! Find out, as Raw rolls on! Or Graves and SmackDown, whatever. If they can throw sh*t at the wall and hope it sticks, maybe we all should too.
