Well, now we're all revisiting this for a new, much bleaker reason, huh? R.I.P, Bray Wyatt. Fly high with Brodie Lee.

[@TheNinjaBA]

It’s videos like this that make me grateful that Adam decided to use his gift of gab for good and not to form a world ending cult

[@tapan97]

Yeah man aptly said. I've been a follower of his since a long time and listening to his words feels so compelling and reassuring and... powerful. It's almost like he's got the whole world in his hands. His creative mind and illuminating thoughts should be spread far and wide!

Thank God Adam was never involved with any kind of Cult...aholic....

[@apocrypha5363]

Something Adam doesn't mention (probably because it should be obvious), is that the commentators should all act scared of, freaked out by, and disapproving of the Wyatt Family. Regardless of the commentators' alignment. In the real world, the heel commentator would sometimes say things like: "Well, maybe Dean Ambrose should have accepted Bray Wyatt's help," and other dumb stuff like that. The commentary team acted like Wyatt was just another heel, with the face commentator denigrating him and the heel commentator boosting him... It often made zero sense.

[@TheIncredible2IC]

Exactly right. This is how WCW treated the nWo early on, and that made it seem so much more real, that even Bobby Heenan couldn't condone what they were doing.

[@TheDaltonCashShow]

Welcome to the dumb world of black and white, good vs bad. Most faces and heels don't have gradients. Because why have complicated characters when simple good and bad guys make the most money from brainless fans.

[@Lunacorva]

Not only are you 100% right, but it's a pet peeve I have in general. No matter WHAT a Heel does, the Heel commentary cheers for them. f they react the same way to everything, then nothing stands out. Jerry Lawler would do the same thing with Ministry Taker, and it was stupid.

[@MarquoVitali]

@@Lunacorva Corey Graves hates Elias no matter the alignment

[@DasNordlicht91]

They could do it where if a commentator starts showing preferential treatment towards the Wyatt Family, it’s implied that they got converted by Bray’s words and they start acting like a mouthpiece for the Family. That way, there’s a tangible reason for why they’re a heel commentator.

[@venomousnate7263]

"Send us someone, just don't send anyone you want back." I always loved that line by Harper in the original Wyatt vignette and this story embodies that to a tee. Stellar work, as always, Adam.

[@danielbukowski2031]

Gotta say, this is an amazing idea. I love the concept of utilizing Wyatt as an actual cult leader in WWE. The match between Seth and Bray would be great too, with Seth trying to reach out to the rest of the family in between the offense. I would pay to see that

[@andreim.g.9299]

Yes! Yes! The highlight of every month. The opening is brilliant. Adam's impression of rambling Bray is fantastic.

[@SteintheKid]

You mean his impression of Rambling Rabbit ;)

[@hankthetank8039]

It's Rambling Adam! (pathetic clapping)

[@wheelzwheelzington]

Having CHRIS FN HERO in the Wyatt family is beautiful. I always thought Hero was directionless and needed something ANYTHING to get over in WWE. The thought of one of my favorite wrestlers of all time in one of my favorite factions of all time is so awesome! Bravo Adam!

[@connorledwith98]

Honestly man, he’d of been a perfect fit. Hero and Ohno are like 2 completely different wrestlers

[@Drakorre]

The fact that Chris hero never accomplished anything even in nxt baffles me

[@tapan97]

Plus he teams with his Chikara mate Claudio

[@Mrryn]

Also it has a nice little tieback to the rumor that Hero/Ohno was going to be the 3rd member of the Shield at one point. Having him go from one super over modern faction to the other at the time would be oddly poetic, especially given the awesome real-life chemistry the two groups had when they finally faced each other after their callups.

[@KOHoxton]

@@Drakorre I don't remember him getting over in NXT. Really, I'm not against the guy. And I don't really think he had much of a gimmick, but I imagine thats why they just decided to do nothing with him, I personally don't know what his gimmick outside of NXT looks like, though. I was okay with the guy, but I didn't see him ever getting over like that without a faction or tag team.

[@CobaltCruiser]

Cena's involvement in this fantasy booking is nothing short of genius. He's not the star of the story, but he is sort of the catalyst for the downfall of the family, in a role that only he could fulfill. His moral intractability suiting the narrative perfectly

[@notoriousmigz2427]

And whilst ultimately not being the star, he's framed that way well enough for fans to want someone else, while in the background Seth is being so well built and the Shield being given the platform to get over as individual faces, while Cena being front and centre distracts you from it just enough to want it, think you're not getting it, then be so happy when you do get it.

[@Nerddy434]

[@phreakzilla8514]

Here’s an idea - I’d love to see (if it’s even possible) if Adam could tie ALL of his bookings, at least the ones that run concurrently, together into a giant “How Adam would book the WWE”. Even the old WhatCulture bookings. Ending the Streak, KofiMania, Summer of Punk, all of it. Certainly there has to be a conflict in there somewhere, right? It would be incredibly interesting to see. Big fan by the way. The Dean Ambrose video was possibly the best wrestling video I’ve ever seen.

[@Aidan_ODonnell]

Original Erick Rowan always reminded me of Letherface, a sheltered child capable of inhuman acts because of his dark family

[@pwlpc]

They could've even expanded that through Rowan's creepy mask maker vignette. Having Rowan be the one who "creates" the sheep masks and places them on defeated opponents or those that join the family

[@shawnmichaels568]

Let's do this man! Back with classic Adam booking.

[@alharron2145]

11:20 This, right here, is what elevates this beyond just another awesome Adam Books video into something truly special. I understand the reluctance for Spooky Bollocks in regards to Bray, in that we don't want any of this disappearing/reappearing or telekinetic stuff. But I think Adam's hit on a really potent source of terror - the darkness of humanity's capacity for evil. Its the side of us that we desperately want to cast as demonic possession, or some outside influence that's taken over, when the scariest thing to consider is that *this has always been part of us.* Cosmic horror isn't scary because oooh tentacles & Monsters - it's that our understanding of the universe we live in is incomplete & flawed, & reality is much scarier than we think. Perhaps that's what makes Wyatt so terrifying - he isn't a Fiend, or an Eater of Worlds, or some other being beyond humanity. He is completely, entirely human, and yet he is capable of such influence & power without magic or superhuman abilities. That's an uncanny horror all of its own.

[@Partyboy22]

I think it was John Carpenter who once said when he was making the first "Halloween" that the guy living next door is scarier than any supernatural creature simply because he's real and who knows what evil he's capable of doing. It's also why movies like "Halloween," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Last House on the Left" leave such an impact on horror fans not because something like that did happen, but because something like that CAN happen.

[@Zubatron82]

I'd love to see Adams take on Aleister Black's "Dark Father" gimmick, I think that had the potential to be something really good before "budget cuts"

[@apocrypha5363]

Adam nails it straight away by saying that the problem with Wyatt is that the cult doesn't do anything. No one is scared of a cult leader that doesn't attract followers. It's typical of all heel factions (other than the nWo, I guess,) in that heel factions make threats... And then nothing happens. They achieve nothing. Look at the Nation Of Domination. They promised that they wanted to tear a swathe across the WWF and show their dominance... And then they spent a year feuding with Ahmed Johnson... You couldn't beat one guy. Or, even if you could, it took you a year. So who cares about your 'nation'? Likewise, you couldn't convince someone who didn't already have a tramp beard to join your cult... So who cares about your cult?

[@DasNordlicht91]

It’s why a group like Retribution turned out the way it did. Hard for people to get behind your cause if they spend most of your time getting your ass kicked by everyone. (Well, that and the needlessly-awkward way they got introduced)

Man U did a phenomenal job with this one. The storyline, the character of Bray Wyatt and his purpose and direction, the layout of events, etc. And then what was the cherry on top, the best part about this excellent piece of content, was truly the promos you did as Bray Wyatt. They were actually really freakin good Adam! Well done sir. I tip my cap to u

[@theredzombie5283]

Adams bray Wyatt impression is so good. The old bray Wyatt promos always had that creepy atmospheric asmr vibe. Best thing I can equate it to is black metal. Relaxing but in a purely creepy isolating way

[@whoad8644]

Tbh, I’d be interested to see this version of Wyatt stick around a little more after losing to Seth. It could be him venting the frustrations about his failures by having vicious, angry matches and attacking former Wyatts while also trying to remake the Family with whomever is needy enough. Basically, it’s a combo of Fiend Bray’s self-loathing/revenge focus, Sad Corbin’s desperation, and Lucha Underground!Famous B’s lower-rent stable shenanigans, plus he would have a chance to show his abilities on his own.

[@JaredTakesTime]

Oh these spooky cutaways are just my favorite thing in the world. Also, did you color correct the set bits to be extra vibrant to differ from the spooky cutaways? Looks sharp.

An excellent use of naturalism and American romanticism in couching Bray in a literary sense. He is, above anything else, telling a story. A heavy emphasis to the importance of the trees and the woods is crucial in a story like this. relying on the church of nature to serve as his chapel was a wonderful touch.

[@urbaindelva7869]

First of all, the Wyatt impressions were GOLD. Secondly, I can't be the only one who feels like 'Noah Cassidy' is a better ring name than 'Kassius Ohno'. Finally, I think the teleportation part of Wyatt's character should be kept. I know it's spooky bollocks, but I think it fits the character.

While not related to Bray himself, Adam's booking would affect the WrestleMania where Seth pulls the legendary Heist of the Century.

Loved this. Now I do understand that the Fiend Booking has already been made (top notch as well) and that the White Rabbit is TBD. A key part of of the Fiend Booking was Bray's mishandling in the Cult Leader Stage. This booking rectified that. Now how would the new Fiend go through his list? If these 3 Bookings are supposed to just be fixes of phases at their specific time, than that's fine, but I'd like to think that rebooking and booking of Bray for the future establishes a continuity. So my hopeful mind will be awaiting an updated Fiend video somewhere down the line ... like November for the spooky clown and the White Rabbit/Uncle Howdy in December since he looks frosty. Like I said, great video once again.
