On last week’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, Bray Wyatt made his return to TV with a brand new persona. Wyatt returned for a “Firefly Fun House” segment which received mixed reviews from the professional wrestling community.
Jason Baker, who directed the vignettes, was recently a guest on the “Wrestling Reality” podcast to discuss the segment. Baker talked about what it was like working with Wyatt and what’s next for the former WWE Champion.
Check out the highlights here:
What’s next for Wyatt: “I cannot wait for the fans to see what comes next. I think it’s gonna catch some people off guard in a good way.”
What it was like working with Wyatt: “Bray’s great man. He’s intense. He’s always thinking, and then he’s thinking past what he’s thinking. That man is… what’s that old saying? The razor’s edge between genius and insanity? And that man walks that razor’s edge constantly. Very, very smart.
“Smarter than a lot of people give him credit for. Great to collaborate with. You think you’re gonna throw an idea at him, he comes back with eight. You think you’re gonna hit him up with a piece of trivial knowledge, he’ll hit right back. He’ll see your trivial knowledge and then raise ya. He is a unique, unique human being.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure and an honor to get to collaborate with this gentleman — with someone who just puts such a thought process into his craft. I’ve had the opportunity of working on films with Russell Crowe and Tom Cruise, Will Smith and a bunch of other people working here in the Pittsburgh film industry and his mindset for his character development is on par with those guys.
“It’s a site to see. It’s something definitely to behold. I was thoroughly impressed with how much dedication he brings into his art and to his craft.”
