I guess the meat is I accept supernatural stuff in angles but if it makes them way stronger in the ring that just feels like a copout to push a guy that isn't on that level unless it's fleshed out well. Even a stupid supernatural explanation of why Fiend is so much stronger would probably be fine, but we don't have one.

More elaboration on why the Fiend is stronger than Bray Wyatt is needed for coherence. "He's not Bray Wyatt" is not enough explanation for me. That just explains why his mannerisms would be different. Compared to Mick Foley's alter egos which imo were actually done well, they had fairly consistent power levels and were just sliding bars of sadism vs masochism vs neither, which had varying efficacy depending on what was most effective vs his opponent.

And to be fair I think The Demon King Finn Balor is super dumb too, so I'm at least consistent in that regard!

I guess we'll just have to disagree on this, since to me, "It's not Bray Wyatt/it's a supernatural possession" is enough for me if I'm already readily accepting somebody controlling fire and somebody being immortal.

Like, I don't ask "Why is Undertaker immortal?" or "Why can Kane summon fire?" I just accept it because they said "He's supernatural and he can."

So to me personally, I could see somebody buying into all three, or somebody going "No, this is stupid" to all three, but it's weird to me to accept "immortal" and "flame conjuror" but not "possession."
