That doesn’t mean everything always clicked. There were plenty of Bray Wyatt matches and stories over the years, like the House of Horrors, that never quite worked. But if anything, they deserve credit for the big swings that they were. Windham Rotunda wasn’t afraid to take risks in the hopes of satisfying himself creatively, because when they did land, those moments were something to remember.
To this day, the Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36 is unmatched. There hasn’t been anything like it since, and there probably never will be. It’s easily the most unique thing John Cena has been a part of during his wrestling career, and it’s still something fans talk about years, because it wasn’t afraid to exist outside the box of what people expect wrestling to be.
For every bug projection, there was the deep nuance of the Firefly Fun House and all Bray Wyatt’s friends. For every bizarre Hell In A Cell match bathed in red light, we got the White Rabbit chase and the exhilaration of finding the next clue. We knew we were witnessing something distinct, no matter how outlandish or peculiar it seemed. And yet, even in those times when it didn’t quite land, we wanted more from it. Why? Because it challenged us; because it went against the norm; because it gave us something unrivaled for us to sink our teeth into. And even then, we never fully got it.
