What is the Danhausen character supposed to be? The Joker, Gollum and Eddie Munster rolled into one?

It’s a weird shtick, and to be honest, I thought that it was going to be a colossal bomb when he was announced as the mystery casket guy a couple of months ago.
However, it seems to be a hit for WWE so far, and some of it may just be due to how incredibly dry and boring the WWE product is right now. I think he’s meant to be more of a Hurricane/Hornswoggle/RTruth comic relief guy rather than a legit wrestler with legit story lines, and as long as they keep his segments to short spurts, I think it can work. At least for awhile

When WWE is good, it's really good. And when it's not, it sucks.
I've totally lost interest in it right now. The characters just aren't compelling.
I had high hopes for the HHH regime, but I’ve come to accept that he’s really never going to have a true regime. He will always answer to some combination of TKO, the Saudis, and shareholders before the fans, and it’s as clear as day that this product is a far cry from what he’d like to be presenting.
We’re in an era where priority #1 is global expansion and streaming eyeballs, and the path to that is sadly no longer about putting on a good show. It’s about constantly pushing certain people even when they absolutely suck for the sake of making some nation or demographic happy, and the product is awful for it. I’d rather watch Attitude Era reruns on YouTube than this generation of WWE
