Having little to do on Sunday night, and seeing Kofi vs. Orton for the title on the card (didn't even know Kofi was the champion lol) I ordered SummerSlam.
Nothing special, Kofi/Orton was a massive disappointment in particular - even with all the 'stupid' references, but Bray Wyatt's new gimmick is absolutely AWESOME!!! Didn't even know he was on the card, had no idea who 'The Fiend' was, but he completely stole the show.
For disenfranchised fans like me, this is the type of thing we wanna see. Screw all the flips and kicks - a quality, mature, hard hitting gimmick trumps it every single time. The remix of his theme was brilliant, the lighting effects, the mask, the Bray Wyatt lantern (great symbolism), dude looked like he was ready for Purge night. The only thing wrong with it was the fact he didn't completely squash Balor in 30 seconds.
For anyone who hasn't checked it out and stumbles onto this article, I know the wrestling boards dead these days, I highly recommend it. You'll feel young again, WWE doing something cool for a change

You can watch all the Firefly Funhouse skits building up to this on YouTube

I did later the same day I posted this article
Very Y2J with all the cryptic clues alluding to the struggles of the Bray Wyatt character. I've always been a sucker for that kind of vignette style. Good stuff
I'll definitely be looking out for when The Fiend wrestles next. The whole thing (entrance, match, post-match) was fantastic.

I'd be happy if we never see non fiend Bray on wwe tv or ppv
He should be skit only
