The Fiend is one of the most memorable characters that WWE has produced in the last 10 years. I don't have a problem with him being a mysterious guy whom we often see just through video packages and promos from Alexa. It makes it all the more special when he does appear. I don't see the need to nix the character right now. Moreover, Bray is only 33, so he's got several more years in him, barring injury. There is still plenty to explore with the Fiend.
That being said, he hasn't always fared well in his big feuds. He should *NEVER* have had to job to Goldberg. His Wrestlemania match last year was just a convoluted sketch, and now he's in a lackluster feud with Orton. While I applaud WWE for giving Wyatt some creative freedom to book himself, the company hasn't always gotten the most out of him at key moments.

Ah, WF. Good old predictable WF. WF: This wrestler is amazing! Everyone else: We agree! WWE: Let's push them! WF: Thanks, I hate it.  you. You put it best. This place is hilarious with how quickly they turn. |

Can't stand Fiend. If I wanted to watch that sort of crap I'd watch someting on the WB. Or is it the CW? UPN?

I wouldn't have him as a face or tweener. He'd be the heel others heels didn't mess with.
I wouldn't book him every show. Maybe 4-5 times a year.
He would not be losing to people like Goldberg. But he can't win everything all the time.
If he does lose, let it take a lot to hold him down, but not 55 Curb Stomps.
I liked the Bliss pairing at first, but it's jumped the shark IMO. He should turn on her too. He needs to be alone.
Thank baby Jesus the red light is gone.

As someone who barely has visited the IWC in around 2 years, the opinions in this thread are so funny to me.
The Fiend is highly entertaining in my opinion and Bray continues to be the best storyteller in modern WWE. Any issues with The Fiend have been booking related (i.e. quickly scrapping the Orton injuries, Goldberg loss).
If you're like "buuuhhh why haven't they just brought him back yet", I'll drop you a quick spoiler. He was literally (kayfabe) lit on fire. He is being billed as supernatural monster. So he is going to have the payoff with Randy at Mania... because that's where this feud belongs.

I love what Alexa's been doing, but I also think she great at everything she does. I just feel like she has really embraced this and tries really hard. I think it's all been great!

I've never liked Bray, the original gimmick or the Fiend, so I'd get rid of him but I know that would never happen.

Undertaker and Kane have been doing similar angles for decades and you all loved it. It's a gripping storyline, something that wrestling has lacked and it has fans intrigued to see what happens next. It has give me a reason to tune in every week. |

Always liked Bray. The Fiend is an exceptional character.

Fiend comes across more like Vampiro's run in WCW. no thanks. |

What WWE usually does when they stumble onto a hot act, bury it into the ground.
