#6 The Firefly Funhouse debuts

Is the Firefly Funhouse insane, brilliant, or insanely brilliant? History will be the ultimate arbiter, but there's no disputing that Bray Wyatt emerged as the biggest male star of the company in 2019.

There's a major concern among second and third-generation pro wrestlers that they will never be able to escape their famous father's shadow.

To that end, we've seen many different Superstars attempt to distance themselves from their heritage. Goldust is the biggest and most blatant example, as the son of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes, he sought to completely alter his image and head in a different direction.

One second-generation star that has no problems distinguishing himself from his patriarch is Bray Wyatt. Though he is the son of Mike Rotunda, a former WWE tag team champion, Wyatt has blazed his own trail to the top. His Wyatt Family gimmick seemed to have run its course, so he came up with something fresh and new that still paid homage to what had come before; the Firefly Funhouse.

Words cannot adequately describe the comical yet disturbing mayhem that occurs on The Firefly Funhouse, which is one of the reasons it's so compelling.

My wife — not a wrestling fan — who happened to come across the Firefly Funhouse said, "this is why you don't mix LSD and PCP." It's true that the Funhouse is wild and crazy, but it's also true that it's revitalized Wyatt's career and made him a no-questions-asked main event star.

Perhaps the true brilliance in the Firefly Fun House is in the way it seamlessly breaks the fourth wall without being completely silly about it. Vincent McMahon's puppet has devil horns, a clear reference to his online reputation. And many people are convinced that Ramblin' Rabbit is meant to be a send-up of Wyatt's real-life friend, Seth Rollins.

Whatever the case, fans can't get enough of the new Bray Wyatt and his Fiend alter ego. This proves the debut of the Firefly Fun House was one of the most memorable moments of 2019.

Come on, sing it with us: We're so glad, that you're our friend...
