1.Bray Wyatt and Waylon Mercy

Often imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Before his time as the newly-invigorated Fiend, Bray Wyatt had a family. His character back then was reminiscent of a character portrayed by former WWF talent, Danny Spivey. As the character Waylon Mercy, he would talk about 'saving us'. He would then state that; "Lives are gonna be in Waylon Mercy's hands. You know what I mean?"

In comparison, Wyatt would as us to "follow the buzzards." Both of these personas very much had cult leader nuances and qualities about them. While neither one could be solely tied to the other, they did profess 'peace'. Fans will recall a moment in which children wore alter boy and alter girl gowns, surrounding the ring for Bray Wyatt. The chilling demonstration was another example of how he had, as the song says, the whole world in his hands. This rather popular song is sung in conjunction with masses and other church gatherings as well. It is a rather twisted tale but one where the notion of faith and belief are intertwined.
