The Fiend and former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon [Photo credit: WWE]
Bray Wyatt’s creative efforts were not always a hit among WWE fans. Some of them were very strange and, with the benefit of hindsight, have become infamous for a variety of reasons. However, the reason behind them not taking off might not have been completely the athlete’s fault.
That is what TNA’s Matt Hardy talked about during a recent episode of his podcast, The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy. Hardy and Wyatt were a thrown-together tag team at one point, but the duo managed to become RAW Tag Team Champions.
This was after their rivalry on the flagship show, a feud which featured an “Ultimate Deletion” match, which was, in turn, World Wrestling Entertainment’s rendition of TNA’s “Final Deletion” match of Matt Hardy’s, which impressed fans. That was in 2016, and it was incorporated into an episode of RAW two years later.
Sadly, veteran commentator Michael Cole introduced it with an apology to the fans for what they were about to witness. Hardy recounted this, stating that the line was fed to Cole by the former WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon:
“I knew that came from Vince. That was absolutely a Vince line, fed in … they were trying to cover their a** in case it’s something that didn’t seem like it’s up to WWE standards. [But] I felt like, give us the fairest opportunity to go out and do our thing, and let it be as greatly received as it could possibly be. I felt like it was just very counterproductive.”
Bray Wyatt’s run as The Eater of Worlds would ultimately run out of steam, after which he took some time off. Upon return many months later, the former Universal Champion introduced a new character in The Fiend, now iconic in the eyes of fans.
Matt Hardy was hurt by the former WWE Chairman’s lack of faith but expected it
Since it was not an original idea from Vince McMahon, Matt Hardy claimed that the former did not believe in it wholeheartedly. It is something the TNA star had come to expect by that point, being in the company for so many years.
Hardy labeled it as “Vince-ism,” something that McMahon has been accused of by several former employees:
“It wasn’t a Vince creation,” Hardy said. “Because it wasn’t a Vince creation, much like a WCW, it’s not something that he was probably going to fully get behind. It’s a concept that we got over at TNA, but now it’s a WWE thing. We’re trying to push it and promote it in WWE, so why be counterproductive to something you own?”
Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts about World Wrestling Entertainment’s The Wyatt Sicks on Legion of RAW.
Russo feels that WWE failed The Eater of Worlds miserably, and they know it, which is why the new faction led by Bo Dallas (Wyatt’s real-life brother) is a second chance to make things right.
