Occasional Pre-Show
There are some good aspects to the character Willow. The video promos were genuinely creepy and the character itself has a good mind games element.
Granted, it probably would not have come into being if the creepy Wyatt Family gimmick had flopped in WWE, but still it has its own originality.
That said, it should have gone to someone else. Its not so much that Jeff Hardy is doing job; the problem is that it is Jeff Hardy at all.
They are labeling it as Hardy's 'alter ego', which is better than trying to pretend that it is not Hardy.
Still. Still! Calling it his alter ego and knowing its Hardy takes away from the mystique and mystery of the character.
They should have given it to a debuting wrestler, maybe an up-and-comer from OVW or something.
Hardy could have coached the individual regarding the character, offered advice on how to portray it.
Too little, too late of course. But maybe from this mistake they can learn and not make the same error next time a new gimmick arises.
