Bray was probably the most creative guy in the industry at the moment, and he had so much left to give. He'll definitely be missed.

Not only he revolutionized it, but he also showed that wrestler can overcome booking. How many times he was treated badly and still became relevant ? Im not gonna go deep into the past, but remember that his creation The Fiend lost to Goldberg in a few seconds and had worst HIAC ending against Rollins. Also Bray deserved much better than that short reign around 2016
Bray Wyatt a creative genius and a good soul Rest in Peace
for a guy who wasn't featured very often, his merchandise was one of the most popular movers on the shelf, that is an example of his creativity. moving product without even being featured very often.
Bray will be deeply missed
Never seen Kurt with a beard before. interesting.
Truly a one on a kind talent dare I say generational. This news caught me off guard and it’s tough to hear this news
I was at WrestleMania 37, aside from Randy going over I never hated the match. Healed, box, Bliss in black goo, good stuff. And I was at the Royal Rumble 2023, fun match. Bray's face reveal, all the glow, I had a good time. Little did anyone know this would be his last PPV match. These are the memories I will carry with me forever. Thank you, Bray Wyatt!

Bray brought Undertaker vibes back for us after the NXT stint with Wade barret and them he ended up comig back to WWE after failing and made his own path as BRAY MF WYATT AND HE WAS A REVALUATION TO THE SCARY SIDES OF THINGS
Bray Wyatt was such an awesome wrestler, it’s shocking to know he’s gone Nore. Rest in Peace, 36 is way too young to go
Kurt's always saying something

Wow! What a shock.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Wyatt "revolutionized" wrestling but he did have a unique character and stood out in an era where so many wrestlers and gimmicks look so similar.
Who would have thought back in 2010 Husky harrison would be the most Successful NXT superstar out of the Class , 2x universal ,1x Heavyweight champ Amazing story

I don't think we can credit this to any unhealthy issues in wrestling. I think with Wyatt it was illness, Briscoe died in a wreck that was not his fault. Nonetheless, a rough 24 hours for wrestling fans and family members effected by this tragedy.

In the end every body know wrestling is fake. Everyone is more or less bland or uninteresting. Wyatt put a lot of work in his character when most guys just work on having 5 star matches to entertain the critics. Wyatt was great if you look at it that way. In the end people watch wrestling to get entertained than watching guys putting each others in head locks and leg locks.
I won't take anything away from Bray's creativity or his constant striving to do better and improve himself and the industry. But he wasn't all that innovative, Spivey was doing the DeNiro cult leader in the 80s. If anything Bray was a harkening back to a simpler more kayfabe time.

I thought Bray Wyatt was quite charismatic. In today's wrestling nobody has that presence or personality that can draw people. I think he had good ideas. Most guys just want to be like a good worker or have a good match to get critical acclaim. Working on character in something that pretty much doesn't exist today.

@@unclehowdy409 obviously both of them don't draw a dime. I'm not saying Wyatt was a huge draw. But he still drew better than many when he faced Cena, Orton and Roman reigns at house shows. Wyatt was consistently in top 3 merchandise sales since 2014. It's difficult to blame Wyatt for not being the sole house show draw because he was never protected as a top heel like Triple H or Randy Orton. But Wyatt had a huge fan following because of his charisma and unique character. Guys like Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are ordinary at all levels. Even them winning the belts devalues the belts. Bray Wyatt certainly left a mark in wrestling as a character or personality. I don't think people will even remember guys like Cody Rhodes or fin Balor type wrestlers after they retire because they don't stand out.
