#wwe #johncena #braywyatt

[@ExtremeGodWrestling]

This match is one of many examples that wrestling can be anything, wrestling isn't all just five star matches, it's about entertaining the audience and fans at home, and sometimes people need matches like these, creative, funny, and nostalgic to some people, I'm sure this is 5 stars to many people

[@nakedsnakebb4706]

Absolutely

[@harveyquezada1056]

Most definitely

[@romainsavioz5466]

Five stars or "five stars" matches

[@Greatter1]

It’s my favourite match of all time, absolute five star classic for me that truly shows wrestling can be anything

[@brandocalrissian3294]

It's storytelling and entertainment. People tend to forget that and take it too seriously.

[@looneylogic6479]

Sad to think they’ll never be another match like this ,imagine how amazing it would be to have another stars in a firefly funhouse match , R.I.P Bray

[@jasonx1174]

Randy Orton certainly would have been great in a Firefly Funhouse match.

[@MattHadder]

"they'll" 😂 there will never be.

[@washingtonfootballskins]

How about no? The original creator was overrated. Let this garbage go away

[@nickgonzales4870]

It was such garbage

[@home9dog2blue199]

WELP...🤷‍♂️ "THANK GOD WE DON'T HAVE TO SEE THE RANDOM BS AGAIN" Right? It was the most cringiest PG era 💩 they EVER did. and ALOT OF YALL will just agree with ANY decision they make like "It makes sense because 🤓" 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

[@blablablaa14]

You're telling me they have the Smackdown fist just laying around in some warehouse underused? Bring that back!!

[@Triple-Four]

They actually do. It's been on record proving that they have a ton of their old set displays and even some WCW display sets in their warehouse. They also have legendary wrestling gear and titles stored there.

[@Blackbeard19891]

Yeah if you watch KZbin you can find a video of them doing a tour around the warehouse and you can still see the fist and it's actually a mould of the big shows fist by the way

[@jjkm17]

They have everything from chairs kendo sticks to props they recently made a show collecting different things from wrestlers to make a museum

[@allanj1872]

Yes there is a wwe warehouse full of items. Watch WWE Treasures

[@TheChapelx]

The reason they don't use it anymore was because of how heavy it was to move around and set up

[@themightyi67]

Shows the intelligence Cena has for the business tbh, made the best of a bad situation and took the opportunity to let Windham’s creative genius loose and it couldn’t have been better, we all miss you Windham

[@gdnickel92]

As different as the match was, I thought this was one of the most fun I’ve seen in a match and you could see how much creativity Bray had with his material. RIP Bray Wyatt!

[@radicalstanza3614]

Cena literally says he wrote the match here lol

[@zzuklaa5699]

Cena wrote the match, wyatt wrote literally EVERYTHING surrounding it​@@radicalstanza3614

[@JohnDoe_Gaming]

​@@radicalstanza3614 Cena likely wrote it with Bray Wyatt. When superstars figure out how their match goes, they communicate it with each other and mutually decide on spots. Cena admitted in this interview he didn't even know what a Funhouse Match was. The only way he could really sell it is by writing the match with the guy whose gimmick it is.

[@KindaHappy15]

When Wrestlemania 2020 came around, I was in isolation because of covid, couldn't be around anyone and felt miserable. When this came on though, for 15 minutes I forgot about everything else and stood in my room in awe. That's why I'll always love this match, Bray (RIP) and Cena

[@animejat]

Is it still free to watch? I remember hearing that it was free to watch from my family because of the pandemic, so I'd like to know if it still is/ever was. I stopped watching wrestling altogether around that time, so I never got to watch it

[@zhollings]

@@animejatnot sure if it was ever free, but you can find it, along with pretty much every ppv/ple they've ever done, on Peacock

[@afonsosantos6606]

@@animejat it was up on wwe official YT channel for a couple of times, but then they removed it. They usually do this around WM/big PPVs

Same Wrestlemania, where it was Undertaker and AJ Syles in a boneyard match. Undertaker's last match 😢

Favourite match of WM36 and of these two in particular. I felt like it was made for me it’s a work of art, pure cinema.

[@ericlavergne5764]

This match and the Jeff Hardy Vs Sheamus in the Pub Bar are still two of my recent favorite WWE matches

[@snipertheladiesman]

It was such a creative idea to mesh both character and real life person into a entertaining "match"

[@rafichowdhury6050]

My favorite story moment from Mr windham. And this match that I have been thinking about this for the last four years. I think in reality was a good reflection on Mr John Cena’s career and to see every thing that he has accomplished in his legendary career.

[@slayerBO2EPC]

I loved this match. Rest in peace Bray❤

[@sarmadhabibkhan3036]

I miss the big fist

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

Unlike The Rock who left for years! John Cena has had match every single year since 2002! Thank you to writer strike last year to give us back John Cena! Please do another one?

[@SeanTheDon-vj4kw]

"IT'S SUCH GOOD SH**!" - Mr. McBoss...😆 I remember being over at my neighbors' house watching WM & this match on PPV, and we were just laughing and saying "WTF???" during the whole course of the match! 😂 The cinematic aesthetic (much like Taker's "Boneyard Match" vs AJ Styles on that same card) was a clever touch, being that they didnt have a live audience there in attendance during COVID! I hope they do more similar-style cinematic matches somewhere down the line, just to see how a live audience reacts to it! (I felt they should've done one @ last year's WM in Hollywood...) RIP Bray!☝️You were a one-in-a-million talent! "THAT'S RIGHT, BIG DADDY!!" 😁

[@Ryan01224]

I need a behind the scenes of this

[@steviesmith4986]

R.I.P Bray Wyatt. Love the content as always Chris! Keep up the greatest content on this platform! 👏🎉

RIP Bray Wyatt!

[@Thor-Orion]

The two cinematic matches were the best matches of the weekend. This and the Boneyard match between Taker and Styles were both great.

[@stephenthedude4383]

Amazing match i was losing my shit watching it. exploring the potential of story telling in Pro Wrestling

[@storysnob1022]

I’m one of those guys who never got Bray Wyatt, but the FFH match was the closest I came to liking his stuff. Now that he’s gone, I’m kind of on a Bray renaissance and I’m seeing IT, now. RIP ✊🏻

[@kalvinbaber5484]

Bro you missed out.. go watch Bray v Daniel Bryan Royal Rumble 2014 Bray v Orton WrestleMania 2017 Bray v Roman 2014 Wyatt Family v The Shield 2013

[@anthonyanderson9303]

This is not something that can or should be done often, but as a one time thing it was amazing. This and the boneyard match.

[@ayadali9112]

I still love that Eddie Guerrero promo along with Bray Wyatt’s promo. Rightfully occupying the two top spots on this list. Both who tragically passed away very young in their mid-30s’ that were so impactful and still impact us to this day. R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero and Bray Wyatt.😢

[@mythicgamer6291]

That was the greatest match in my opinion for cena and Bray Wyatt they fixed the WrestleMania 30 mess up they did and they made a great amazing match 😀

[@RoyLogan-kn9fn]

They fixed nothing and the so called match was boring as shit that only entertained simple minded turds.

[@jmwes12]

John Cena is a wrestling living legend

[@Stumme-40203]

I haven’t seen the match, but I honestly think what they did was better than if they had an actual match. They had that match at WM 30. This was something so creative and different.

[@omgmacy]

One of my favorite matches if i can call it that, shit felt like theatre i loved it

[@cidzultima]

Cena has such an entertaining and sympathetic way to tell stories.

[@venuummzz]

Bray Wyatt was truly a creative mastermind, Its sad to see how he wasn’t fully able to give us every idea he had, but he still gave us something incredible to look over.

[@ClubEcstasy-nj1gn]

The one thing of many that Vince fuck up with he had a second undertaker

[@samiensalgado9198]

This damn match... it was like a fever dream mixed with an acid trip. And I watched it multiple times with the eyes of a child. Loved it

[@originalhuggies9740]

That was the most creative thing to have happened at that time.

[@ryanfromm715]

Windham’s death was one of the most shocking. I still can’t believe he’s gone. He brought me back into wrestling after barely watching since the Attitude Era. RIP Windham Rotunda

[@HayabusaRyu]

Bray was a legend. Cena, Alexa Bliss, LA Knight and even teaming with Jeff Hardy; Bray brought out the best in people and storyline even if the storylines weren't always great

[@MarRelltv197]

Bray vs cena will forever be my favorite fued R.I.P bray❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ygrezzie]

Is John Cena in recovery? I notice he quotes the big book a lot from AA

[@Deserticeninja]

Nah he's a literal workaholic and his relationship with Nikki made him take a introspective look at himself

[@DeathBringer9216]

What quotes are those?

[@zlinedavid]

Wasn’t a huge fan of the match, but it was worth it seeing Cena in nWo colors. What the Cena heel turn could have looked like.

[@natman2939]

This match is one of the reasons I wish they would do another wreatlemania like this without being forced to. Look how insanely creative they were allowed to be with this and undertaker’s match

[@mygodmanm3008]

I remember watching this with my son and it was just so fun to watch. It will be something everyone will remember.. nothing like it. What a loss bray brought something original.

[@McCheeseincakes]

For me personally, the Firefly Funhouse match is one of the few matches during the pandemic era that I not only rewatch but actively look forward to.

[@supermarroman9120]

That and the AJ Taker match were my favorite moments from the Covid era. Like they made art out of their characters.

Cinematic matches can be awesome. Bray vs Orton at the Wyatt Compound, Undertaker vs AJ Styles and this

[@KingRioT1]

"Control the controllable" man, those words resonated with me, and they are very true. I've applied that mentality, and it actually works.

[@DemonDesign2k21]

Man I really hope Cena is in the Bray Wyatt documentary… this match was so cool, I wanna see him really dive into this match, maybe even show that first draft

[@RonnieG]

That match was awesome! Very unique.

[@Micheal_Anthony_1996]

Brays creative mind for wrestling only comes once in a lifetime. This man was every bit as dedicated to his character as the undertaker and every bit as good as tweaking and adding layers to it and even reinventing it as Jericho. Maybe even moreso. RIP Bray.

[@abdulnawaz668]

Cena the GOAT ❤

[@ice9charnas791]

as twisted as it sounds, im grateful for the pandemic era because i really dont think this type of match could work any other way and it became one of my favorite matches ever and it really showcased their creativity. i remember people being conflicted or confused when it happened but it really is a masterpiece

This and the aj and taker boneyard match

[@WJC1981]

Bray did so well to see him during this match

[@jasonlange4548]

Was definitely a unique match and concept. Most likely won't see anything like it again. For the times and circumstances it was a great way to do a match, and tell a story.

[@ayadali9112]

This is a unique setting this is interview is taking place at. R.I.P. Bray Wyatt.😢

[@TheRav3n]

Reminds me of episode 5 of Life is Strange.. well the “this is your life” segment of that episode. The concept and execution was so fun…. For a moment, you forgot that we were watching a wrestling show with the world in a spiral

[@mathjones5845]

I’ve just started picking it back up full time but bruh like flashes through his whole career ? That’s sweet

[@Garf_malarf]

I wish they did more cinematic style matches. They were fun and highly enjoyable.

[@chrishaapala7997]

The fact that Cena wrote the script for this just blew my mind, I would have thought this was all Bray Wyatt

[@USMC49er]

We don't need to be Nostradamus to see that John Cena was going to bury Bray Wyatt a third time. First time was after the Wyatt Family beat The Shield and Cena just never gave Bray a singles win by pin or submission. Only by Bray leaving the cage by outside interference by a child. 2nd time was after Chris Jericho tried to save his heel heat, Cena beat him again and put salt in the wound by throwing him in a mud bath.

[@Candy-4life]

He sounded so Broken this is so sad 😞 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ May bray wyatt Rest in peace we love him

That was one of the most refreshing things I've seen in wrestling in a long time. It really felt like it wasn't for your traditional audience but at the same time it was for all the long-term fans and people who look deeper into things.

[@callamastia]

wyatt and cena were geniuses together

[@rayleeharris]

The world needed to shut down for this match. It’s by far one of the most unique cinematic matches ever.

[@That_Awicks]

I thought this match was so good R.I.P bray and my respect for both men for making a classic match

[@SapphireSandwichBoys]

This match was still good too

[@melbell700]

If the was a plain old fist swinging with super moves type of match it would not have been entertaining. But the fact that these two put on an entertaining, story packed, nostalgic, Funfest makes it a 5 star classic. The fiends legacy could have definitely been this match stipulation. Can you imagine HHH, Shawn, GOLDBERG! going through this. The fiend showing all the negative past actions of superstars than finishing them. My god imagine The Rock or even Vince being taken down this path. The had lighting in a bottle here. Big ups to both Bray and Cena.

[@RedonkulousCaptious]

This match gave me a deep respect for John. He put over Bray huge and he endured a brutal onscreen comeuppance. That was the moment I knew he was in it for life with the rest of us, and not coming back Hogan style to put himself over again, brother.

[@miguelorengojr.3654]

And this is what a lot of the current fans don't understand. Wrestling is and has been so much more than just what happens in the ring. The build up, the characters, even the writing. All these efforts and feats get overshadowed by in-ring ability, or wanting the most physical match. And not that those things aren't to be praised. But there's just more to it

[@aidanbagwell7879]
