Was just about to post this as he put it up on his Twittah machine. This may sound a tad melodramatic, but I sincerely believe Wyatt is one of the best promo guys in the entire WWE right now. I think only Punk, Jericho and Heyman have him beat at the moment.
Not sure how I'm feeling about this challenge to Big E Langston though.
This is from that batch of nxt promos that was leaked and then quickly pulled. But it might have been sweetened a bit to have the empty echo effect as if Bray was delivering this promo in an empty church or something.
This kid has too much upside, and he's only 25! The potential is huge, give the dude any gimmick, he will run with it and become the gimmick. I may sound a bit mental but I seriously believe he is going to be huge for the wwe when he does finally get his callup
This guy is awesome. I hated him so much as Husky Harris, but damn I'm impressed by him now. This guy and Paige need to get called up to the main roster like right now.
I can't believe the transformation and the improvements that he's made in such a short time, he's got a huge upside. If they drop the ball on him like they do on all the others, ughh, I don't even want to think about it.
Pretty much just shows, WWE guys can be good when given creative freedom. Imagine if Ted DiBiase back in 010, when using the Million Dollar Man gimmick was allowed to work naturally.
If somewone said a few years ago that Husky Harris would turn into Bray Wyatt and have one of the most original and interesting gimmicks in the Wrestling in a very long while, I would say you are on Bath salts.
He is only 25 aswell! Which is crazy, because Wrestlers normally hit there peak around mid 30's. Bray could become one of the best, huge fucking potential.
Incredible promo, it's hard to believe this guys improvement since his last call up. The fact that his bro is on the main roster and he isn't is a scary reality on how WWE recognize talent.
Well, I just thought he looked generic. He looked like any other big man with tattoos. I didn't hate him, I just didn't care for him either way. But, ever since he's become Bray Wyatt, He's one of my current top favorites which is a testament to how much and how well he has improven over the last year or so. Imagine if he would've stuck with the gimmick where he wore that mask...
I didn't like the Husky gimmick, but Bray Wyatt has real potential.
I posted in another thread why it made sense to bring up Bo first. Because it legitimizes Bray coming up pissed off about being passed up for him, which gives him a chance to establish the Wyatt character while at the same time making people forget about Husky Harris. If WWE is really doing things that way, which I am not going to hold my breath in anticipation of.
Maybe creative (Vince) will see how good wrestlers can be when they have the freedom to express themselves.
Let them sink or swim, only way they'll have a chance of making it. Look at Dolph, sounds so rehearsed on the show but anywhere else he seems fine. Bray Wyatt is putting out some great stuff on NXT. Hopefully he gets called up after Mania.
If this guy doesn't succeed in the WWE because of their usual BS and idiotic and questionable decisions and booking then fuck this company for good.
The guy has everything to be successful in this business, tremendous mic skills and charisma, presence, plays his wonderful gimmick to perfection and has a perfectly fitting theme song. I truly hope that when they eventually bring him up they don't change it. Oh and please let his music play during his promos in the ring, it just makes what is already fantastic become even better.
And he's only 25. Imagine what this guy can achieve if the WWE actually believes in him.
Awesome stuff. And as others have said, it's pretty crazy to see his transformation from the generic Husky Harris character (which I didn't mind for the record) to the great Bray Wyatt cult leader like character he has now. If he was still Husky Harris, we likely would of never seen his potential on the mic and his great ability to portray a character, looking at Husky Harris a few years ago you would of never thought he had it in him. And the fact he's only 25 gives him plenty of time to make an impact, I just hope they capitalize on how great he is now by having him be one of the first to debut after Mania.
I can see this being the case, unfortunately. These guys shine the most on NXT, but the main show is a different beast, and they aren't given as much freedom.
To all those who are worried that WWE won't give him a fair shake: look at how they treat the sons of former wrestlers - they are all given a shot to make an impact in the world of sports entertainment.
The obvious ones to make it big are Rock & Orton, and you could make a case that Rhodes is doing well for himself considering his booking in the last year. Even guys who flamed out or have slid down the card were given a decent opportunity (Sim Snuka as Deuce, DiBiase Jr., McGillicutty, Harry Smith, just to name a few). While Orton has achieved a great deal of success in WWE, I don't think anyone would put him in a category with the company's best mic workers - Bray Wyatt would instantly be on that list when he's called up.
I think with his family connections, Bray Wyatt will surely be given the opportunity - plus, he's at a point where he is far more ready for a push than pretty much any other 2nd or 3rd generation superstar before him. With the exception of The Rock, I also believe he's the most charismatic 2nd or 3rd generation superstar we've seen in this era.
Then how do we explain his biological brother's lack of mic skills? Bo Dallas has shown so far to be extremely limited in that area - not trying to mock your point, it just shows that some people have it and some don't, even in the same family.
Only bad thing I can think of with this guy so far, is his character is out and out heel, but he's so good that if they move him up to the e with the crapstorm going on there now, he'll be cheered like no one else. He really could be this generation's first successful supernatural (undertaker-like) gimmick.
