5 Reasons why The Fiend is already one of the best gimmicks in WWE history

#1 Bray Wyatt's committed to it

Hollywood effects master and actor Tom Savini helped Wyatt craft a lot of the visuals around the Fiend's presentation.

It was frustrating for both Wyatt and the fans as he was away from the WWE for what seemed like forever. His near nine-month hiatus spanned from late last Summer to the night after WrestleMania 35. It left a lot of people clamoring for Wyatt's ability to captivate us on the mic due to his promo skills.

Windham Rotunda was dedicated to playing a creepy, bayou-like preacher that espoused chaos theory rhetoric to the masses. Not everyone was able to hold the attention of the WWE Universe with every word. Wyatt could.

Since he was away for so long, it clearly gave him a lot of time to both think about and craft aspects of his new character. How would it look? How would his promos change? Would cutting promos in pre-taped vignettes instead of in-ring promos take away from his electricity on the mic? He even returned in much better shape than before. That's dedication.

Wyatt was clearly committed to making both personas work and it's why he was greatly cheered for as the leader of the Wyatt Family. If he wasn't behind what he was doing, it would show. If a star's heart isn't in it, it will show to us fans. Today's fans are smarter than ever and can peak behind the veil now more than ever. The veil that Wyatt has worked on for almost his entire career is now putting him among the greats in terms of character work.

And on a random side note - it must have the backing of management if he's been allowed to have a Vince McMahon puppet among the residents of the Firefly Funhouse.
