The Wyatt Family

Was excited to see them debut but thought WWE might ruin them but after seeing their promo close the last RAW I am super excited.

Copied his act from Dan Spivey's character Waylon Mercy which in turn was taken from Robert De Niro's Cape Fear character, be interesting to see if he can take it to the next level, Waylon Mercy would have been then next big heel in the WWF in 95 if Diesel didnt destroy his back

The vignettes have been very good, they've been built up very well, but i fear this is doomed to fail.

Based upon the character profile the vignettes are building this faction up to be, they're gunna need some quality writing to maintain their presence without failing into the SES trap of relying to heavily on a base methodology without any adaptation, leaving it to run itself into the ground and eventually into extinction.

Currently, WWE's universe seems only able to support characters/gimmicks so flakey that their motives can change as quickly as the wind changes course, rough/dogmatic characters typically don't have high life expectancies. The last one i can remember that stood the test of time was Thuganomics John Cena

The thing is, the promos have suggested that these characters are from a demographic which scares people. The "we have our own paradigm" character
last seen in Mankind (imo) terrifies ppl on a primal level.

They are going for the charismatic mouthpiece frontman angle too, but maybe more pronounced than the shield with Ambrose. The Manson references are plain to see here, which is controversial but brave too.

As psych said, clever writing is needed here, writing that centres around than one man manufactured paradigm. Cant wait, but and insay but....this is wwe creative.

I'm sorry to put it so plainly but I thought they seemed completely pants.

We're all sheep DD, this forum needs people like you

Well, as long as opinions are honest then it's worthwhile having differences.
