So a new face debuted on WWE TV last week (technically not new, he's been on their almost secret developmental TV show for a while now) that had everyone buzzing. Some people say it's clearly inspired by Charles Manson, others say the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family and a few even said the guy from Cape Fear.

Take a look;

The shirt suggest Cape Fear guy. The graveyard (I guess) suggests TCM. The name (The Wyatt Family) suggests Manson.

So what do you think? Is there someone else that hasn't been thought of where they got this character from?

Reminds me of Devil's Rejects a bit and the mask is likely inspired by The Wicker Man.

Never seen the Devil's Rejects so wouldn't have got that either. Good call, Trash.

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2
