Angle change or no longer relevant by the time we got it up for preorder or in-hand.
WWE Creative said hold my beer. Sure enough.
This will be what kills the hobby eventually. Why they would not stick with this gimmick when he’s the number one merch seller
Better yet, makes the entire run less memorable if you’re one who says “well buy it to remember a great run by fiend”
Fail by Mattel and wwe on all fronts. Went from biggest want to I won’t even waste the money now. And I knew this would happen

Relax, he is about to have a match with Cena at Mania, will probably get the win. This is better then him losing to Roman at mania... he never needed the title anyway.
But hey, if after 1 loss you don’t want his figure, good for you - 1 less person for me to worry about having to chase it down 🤷♂️👍

Crazy to say the character is done. Matches with Goldberg and Cena back to back is a big deal. Mania with Cena is huge for the character. Those are spots that are not easy to come by whether u win or lose.

They never should have put the belt on him that early to begin with. A loss to Goldberg won't hurt him like a loss to Reigns would have at Mania.I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the belt off Reigns eventually and we finally get the Reigns heel turn.

Went from biggest want to I won’t even waste the money now. And I knew this would happen If you knew it would happen, why be disappointed? We're all at the mercy of Vince McMahon, Mattel included. All that we can ask for as figure collectors is that Mattel make the effort to get a Fiend Bray Wyatt figure out to us as soon as humanly possible, and so far, I think that has been the case. How you spend your money is ultimately up to you, and truly it is the one thing we have any control over in this scenario, but I suspect your initial feeling of disgust will wear off as soon as the figure is available for purchase. |

It's still going to be a great figure, and I don't see the character going away any time soon. The figure is still going to fly off shelves. Good booking decision? No. But I don't think the character is totally buried.
But I don't see how Mattel is at fault here. They're rushing the figure out as fast as they possibly could, but WWE booking is always a ticking time bomb. Just wait until we start seeing Ricochet in every other wave while he gets pushed down to the mid-card on tv.
If one match on a throwaway show that nobody even watched upsets you that much, try watching another show. AEW, NWA, MLW, Impact - there is a ton of great wrestling out there right now, and something for everyone. If you don't like the direction of WWE, try something else.

Why is the angle done? The Undertaker has lost to some awful people in his time, I think we're just being dramatic. He'll probably be back in title contention after Mania

Anyone losing to Goldberg does not damage them. See Brock Lesnar at survivor series 2016 as the prime example.
With this being the case Goldberg is the perfect person to beat the fiend and also a great headliner for WM. Had the fiend lost to Seth Rollins it would have been FAR worse, Roman as well.
I think the character is still going strong and is poised to get the W over Cena at Mania.
I would like to see the fiend in NXT personally.

They couldnt rush the figure any quicker.
Nobody dropped the ball on this and the gimmick isn’t done.
Collectors like you kill the hobby for others

Who said the Angle is done? I did I’ve been watching WWF/WWE for over 3 decades. It will at best go the way of Elias, Demon Balor, and countless other things that were over that they killed off senselessly. Please feel free to bookmark thread and dig up in a year |

But why does he have to lose to Roman? Why do they keep going down the endless cycle of of guys we don’t like instead of the top merch seller and guy who is more over? I don’t get it |

I don’t think “The Fiend” character really needs a title anyway..he just needs to be a badass monster who gives 0 fks about anything other than hurting his opponents. Wins/losses mean nothing to the character. My thoughts, anyway.
