I dunno, I like to think outside the box and wonder about random shit like this. Nice to see some discussion about something that could (if they did it moving forward) change the foundation of things. Still get support from the writers/creative and what not, but allow them to have final results. If they get boo'd out of the arena or VKM says his tradmark "YOOOOURRREEE FIIIRRRRREEED" (which needs to be a t-shirt btw), they would have no one to blame but themselves.


I'm pretty sure this is an example of why guys should be left to their own devices. I doubt he had creative cobble this masterpiece together. Remember, they threw him on national TV because he and Henning* were, for all intents and purposes, hosses. A big guy who could move. And that's it. So, he was relegated back down to double A, and after yet another nowhere gimmick, this came about. And it was good.

Not saying they all can be Bray Wyatts, but sometimes it seems better to let the guy do something to stand out on his own instead of just relying on them to instantly connect to the fans with nothing to work with (or worse, based SOLELY on their physique) and then tell them "creative has nothing for you" when they don't. Isn't that the POINT of a creative team?
