#1 Bray Wyatt’s voice from behind the mask

We’re finishing this list on, I would say, the most subjective of its points.

When the WWE audience was first introduced to The Fiend on one of the nine original Firefly Fun House series, his voice has been revealed as well. Fortunately for Bray Wyatt, those lines have received some audio distortion and pitch changes on the editing part of his new in-ring persona’s TV debut. It helped him picture The Fiend as, in my opinion, a way more terrifying and mysterious character.

Starting from the conclusion of Firefly Fun House’s original set of nine episodes, Bray Wyatt continued to regularly scream and talk, while in his Fiend form, by himself. That is where the issue lies: former Eater of Worlds has a pretty high-pitched and soft voice. In no way will it suit the character of The Fiend.

Realizing that, Wyatt constantly and intentionally tries (even to this day) to make his speech, his screams, and roars sound deeper, rougher, even scarier when he performs as his new in-ring alter-ego. Many fans will agree, that it doesn’t work the way it should and only ruins the suspension of disbelief - Bray’s efforts are too evident.

A silent version of the Fiend would seem much more intimidating and that is just one of many logical solutions to come out of this situation.
