In a world of cookie cutter, "create a wrestler" wrestlers Bray Wyatt dared to be different. He refused to play it safe, and let his creativity shine through. It didnt always nail the landing, but when it clicked it was captivating. The Fiend is still the coolest thing in wrestling in years.

“I am the colour red, in a world of black and white” - Bray Wyatt We love you, man. ❤

The first iteration of Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt family was a breath of fresh air. The aura. The entrance music. The entrance itself. The lights in the crowd during g the entrance and just the "unknown" of this persona was enough for me to be all in. Sending nothing but love to his family, his colleagues, and the wrestling world at large.

His stuff with Bryan, both as the Eater of Worlds and the Fiend, was great. Bryan turning on Wyatt in the steel cage on Raw was one of my favorite moments from BDs WWE run.

Bray had so much potential. When we look back at his career, the Wyatt family is what will be revered as his best work.

RIP Bray and thank you for everything

Genius and unique. There will never be another Windham Rotunda. We only scratched the surface of his potential and even still, way more creative than the rest of roster. Personally for me since the attitude era, theres no one else. RIP Bray Wyatt 🙏

I'm kinda bitter cause these assholes shit on this guy for 99% of his career, and this comment section would generally be nothing but negativity towards the guy but whatever, pretend you were always his biggest fan guys.

Say it louder for the people in the back

Real shock and tragic situation, especially with him having children. I haven't been watching wrestling for years now to be honest, just following some news via channels such as this, but whatever he's been doing lately or not is irrelevant about this. God be with his family. It hits me a little differently than other wrestler deaths due to his age to be honest; the man is only a year older than me

RIP Bray

I always thought they should have gone all the way with the Wyatt Family as a cult. They should have been recruiting all the downtrodden, the outcasts, basically the jobbers and people nobody cares about, creating a faction out them that isn't in it for power or titles but wants to create chaos and burn the establishment down. Instead, the Wyatt's would target someone, feud with them for a month and then Bray would lose the rubber match. Every time he got some momentum, WWE would kill it. I remember when Bray and Take faced off at Mania and let's be honest, that match is all about the entrances. So what did WWE do? They had them go out while the sun was still up. Ridiculous.

The only thing I can say somewhat positive about the Bray situation is at least he passed away with loved ones and he didn’t come back and pass away in the ring, which obviously was totally possible.

I feell Bray's in ring work is underrated. His match with the Miz had great storytelling, we were just shocked to see him wrestle in the funhouse persona for the first time.

that mania match with cena will probably be the best cinematic type of all time. many people have said that he could of gone to hollywood or make budget horror movies,he would of been amazing but RIP.

Saw the whole thing as a member great show

For years WWE craved for bigger than life characters to the same realm of those than in the 80s and 90s brought pro wrestling to a golden era. Bray became one but they had no idea how to use him properly and so he only scratched the surface of his immense potential, but now he is truly immortal because his legacy will outlive his persona. Rest In Power Windham Rotunda 🙏❤️

May god bless his family n friends he will forever be missed still has the hole world in his hands n we his fireflies will forever burn for him such a sad time I’m still in shock n lost for words R I P Bray Wyatt there will never be another like him

Bray was very entertaining and worked with all the big names and had moments that fans will remember for years and that all the fans can ask for

I stopped regularly watching WWE half a decade ago, but most of the times I've peeked back in have been because he was doing something completely buck wild. I'm not even a huge fan or anything, though the Cape Fear and early Family days were great, but I took for granted that this delightful, absurdly creative weirdo would be entertaining us for decades to come. Heartbroken for his family and all the people who loved Windham. Maybe the company's most organically successful star since Bryan, and despite being tossed together in a storyline cul de sac their work together made them both massive stars.

In retrospect, I think this is why Bayley's original character worked so well. Because everyone loved her but you could beat her as often as you needed to, and people didn't give up on her. With the Fiend, they had to create circumstances for him to lose, and they didn't always work out great. And, too, it wasn't until the Fiend that I truly appreciated how hard it must be to work under a full face mask. You can't make expressions, you probably can't talk very well, and the only thing I can figure is that if he actually got hurt during a match, he would have to do some sort of hand signal that the ref could pick up on, or whisper to the opponent and hope he understood. And to wrestle in those layers, it just looked like he would be overheating every time to me. So if any of that was true, that tells me he loved what he did to do it for as long as he did.

Agree or disagree with his creative ideas .. the guy was different, unique and always kept “trying” .. He was a kind lovable person outside the ring .. Thank you so much Windham for all the joy, laughs and excitement you brought to our life .. All the love and support to your family and children .. May your soul rest in peace ..🌷✨

so so so sad. absolute amazing talent.

Remember when bray spoke as himself when he returned and Alvarez asked what he thought of his promo and dickless Dave goes "er uh he uh definitely is errrrr overweight... he put on uhhh a lot of er um weight... " and basically ignored the question to critique his weight for 3 minutes. Rip windham

polarising as he was at times Bray was one of a kind and leaves a gaping hole in WWE/wrestling

Said it before, I wasn't a massive fan of his TV character, that's purely down to subjective taste of course. What I do love is that he clearly was very passionate about the business, was very creative and far more importantly seemed like a lovely father with a beautiful wife and kids and the fact that nearly everyone has said that he was a class act. Far too young and I hope his family have all the support around them that they could possibly need.

Of course years after the fact Dave claims he knows what was going on behind the scenes with Bray and the reason why he left. At the time he was claiming Vince didn’t like him smh.

Nothing short of an icon

The Wyatt family was my favorite adaptation of Bray

what Heath Ledger brought to the Joker in the Dark Knight ,Windam Rotunda brought Bray Wyatt on another level.

I’m still not okay😔

Still shocked about this

I thought the Wyatt Family was great, but never got while they pulled the plug. So many layers could have been there. Who's sister Abigail? The outpouring last nite on Smackdown would indicate he was very dear to a lot of people. RIP Windham. You seemed like a unique young man, tragically so soon gone 🙏

It didn't ruin anything lol Seth was already flopping as a face as champion

He will go down as one of the biggest what-ifs in wrestling. He may not have reached the heights many were hoping he would, but you can't deny he had a way of getting people's attention. He always knew how to get people talking. While it's sad he's gone, we should be happy that he at least got to have one last run, even if it was very brief. And he got to share his final moments in wrestling with his brother.

Translation from Dave, I didn't like a lot of his character, so I'm going to say a lot of other people didn't like his character. It was very successful, a top merchandising character, the top character in the industry, but a lot of people didn't like it. No Dave, they didn't like the booking of Vince McMahon along with that character, Windham was never the issue. Talent have stated that the entire time. Legitimately, genuinely, do you forget that the majority of the time the Bray Wyatt character would lose his matches? Essentially, every major program he would have, he lost, with minimal exceptions. Other talents weren't derailed by the Bray Wyatt persona, other Talent were derailed, because they were used by management, in a ridiculous capacity, which damaged the Bray Wyatt persona, that's what actually happened. See the Seth Rollins, and Goldberg personas, and how they were both used in Saudi Arabia against the Bray Wyatt related personas, as evidence. Just those two examples alone, they on their own, they prove my point. Management's perception, and handling of the Bray Wyatt personas, that was the real issue, not the character itself. Yes, some will argue differently, yet those same people won't say anything about the character of The Undertaker, the Vintage application of the character of Kane, or the original variation, in 96, of the character of Mankind. Each one of those personas, if we're going by your logic, and that of the argumentative fan, each one of those personas would have presented the same issues chances are, as the Bray Wyatt personas, yet nobody says a negative word about any of them, not one negative commentary... Witch, nor should they by the way, those characters were great and I love them, I'm just pointing out, you're and that small segment of the fanbase's hypocrisy,, on a subject like this one, it's sadly obvious quite frankly. Not to mention, it's both sad, and grossly pathetic on your part Genuinely, stop with the BS narrative that you push about supernatural wrestling, especially now. Have some class... You don't always have to be a clickbait, trash gossip reporter, wannabe do you? I mean, Jesus Christ. You don't even need to bring up the fact that you didn't like the character, we get it. We understand, that if it's not Kenny Omega wrestling a blow-up doll in Japan, it doesn't reach your star rating system, we get it. We understand that a tag team that literally under sells, and or, completely no sells the people they work with, like the Jackson brothers, we understand they get your respect, while essentially, barely anyone else does. .. We know how you operate ... That said though however could you not give it a rest, at least for a Time such as this? I mean, seriously Dave, honestly now, just give it a rest will you.
