Jim Cornette Lambasts The Fiend For Being Unsalvageable Garbage

Bray Wyatt’s The Fiend is undoubtedly one of the most creative gimmicks to have ever been seen in WWE. The Fiend has been a mainstay on the WWE roster since 2019, where he made his debut at SummerSlam 2019.

Unfortunately, The Fiend’s booking left much to be desired and his booking in the past year has essentially killed his credibility. A lot of fans don’t like the supernatural nature of the character and it seems Jim Cornette shares the same sentiments.

While speaking on his Drive Thru podcast, Jim Cornette lambasted the Fiend’s character, stating that it is unsalvageable garbage and an embarrassment to the pro wrestling business.

“This whole thing is just… probably the worst,” Cornette said. “And over the last year and a half or two years, imagine how much that takes in. As probably 50% of it has involved The Fiend. Every time we see him it’s garbage. It’s goofy f**king puppets appearing out of nowhere. It’s supernatural bull**it, black sludge vomit, being killed in front of us and then just getting up or whatever.

No, it’s totally unsalvageable. That’s not wrestling anymore. So I don’t know what the f**king attraction is that anybody would be entertained by this horses**t. But no I wouldn’t book The Fiend except possibly a long stay at the mental institution. I mean the whole thing, the Firefly vignettes, the whole thing is an embarrassment to the business.”

Bray Wyatt hasn’t been seen since his loss to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37. We will have to see when Wyatt will return and what plans WWE will have for him.
