Bray Wyatt / Wyatt Family Discussion Thread

Before I begin I just want to clarify that I'm doing this thread with the hope that I can help open some eyes onto the mystery of a very complicated character, and hopefully provide an easier understanding, and more enjoyment.

To begin, let me highlight the misconceptions on his character.

On the surface, Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt family seem to be not much more than Duck Dynasty castoffs, Backwoods hicks, or Wyatt as a Max Cady (Cape Fear) or Waylon Mercy ripoff...

However, Underneath the surface, just like what Bray would tell you, "There's something else inside..." of him.

I believe his character is that of a cult leader possessed by a demon.The promos I attached below explain it perfectly. In the second one he even says something like,

"I guess there's no sense in waiting any longer....Samael, he's all yours (talking about his vessel)..Hey you wanna see something really scary.."



Now, Samael, when I first heard that mention I didn't really think much of it, until that is, I researched it a bit! Here's what I found:



After reading that I'm certain that my gatherings are correct and the Bray Wyatt character is actually possessed by The Prince of All Demons, The Archangel Samael.

I think his catchphases "Follow the buzzards" and "Eater of Worlds" make sense as well, since Samael, in Christian and Jewish lore, was bent on the destruction of all humans, and buzzards usually flock to death, and I believe Bray Wyatt is a new walking corpse, only his is possessed by a Demon.



In conclusion, I believe, if handled right this could be a more realistic take on the new Undertaker type character WWE sorely needs. Exorcisms and possession are finally becoming more present in our society with the Vatican performing exorcisms lately, and the media eating it all up. I think a walking dead man (Taker) is a pretty tough sell but the gimmick still made him a legend, and I think Wyatt's will do the same for him, and is actually much more believable than it would seem, in our new more realistic era.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Here`s some more coal to throw on the fire ;)

Re: Bray Wyatt, a Tensai like flop????

jesus christ this has to be the 50th "i dont like the wyatt family" thread. they have only been here like 3 months tops, why dont you be a patient wrestling fan and just sit back and see where this goes? i mean god they cut promos that are just as good as the old "ravens flock" promos filled with smokey truths and dark imagery. See thats the problem with wrestling fans today. people bitch about shit before it even has a chance to settle and grow into something good! They say... "Oh well its not an Attitude Era kinda thing and they arent instantly over so.... fuck em" fpalm

just relax and stop being so butthurt

Re: Bray Wyatt, a Tensai like flop????

The match was designed to have Wyatt out of his comfort zone and favour Kane. Wyatt's move set is heavy on using the ropes and ragdolling his opponent. You can't do that with flames shooting up around the ring. I haven't enjoyed any of the Inferno matches for the in-ring work, and this Ring of Fire match was no different. It was about the story. Kane had lost control and was as dominant as he's ever been, but Wyatt still one. He outsmarted Kane.

It's a simple story and I look forward to seeing what happens since they took Kane away.

Also, if you can't comprehend the things he says. I have no idea how you get by in life without being troubled by strangers talk.

Re: Bray Wyatt not clicking with the casual fans.

Fucking morons that give Kofi Kingston a massive pop and mark for R-Truth but aren't fussed about Bray Wyatt are the problem.
Dude cool down.The casual fans form the majority of the crowds/tv audience.It is essential to appeal to the majority of the fans.

It's just like movies.A successful movie is supposed to make money.Not appeal to the critics.

Re: Vince not high on Bray Wyatt?

I don't have a problem with the Wyatt family and I do think that they are a good addition to the roster...

HOWEVER... what doesn't sit with me is that you have these grubby, hairy, pyschotic, deranged characters coming down in full HD, to a squeeky clean ring in a colourful brightly lit arena of uninterested fans. They carry an electric lantern and force feed us these long-ass big budget promo videos.

It just doesn't sit right with me. It's like they've been taken out of the woods and put into the City.

Re: Vince not high on Bray Wyatt?

I was high on Wyatt from his promos, but his first two matches have kind of stunk. I dont see this gimmick catching on though

What the hell, man. What are they doing to these guys? The WWE is handling them ALL WRONG. They really were unique in NXT but creative really dropped the ball here. Now they're squashing on Smackdown? They need to get involved in something soon, or they're done. Simple as that.

Maybe get them involved with the corporation somehow. Have Bray try and take away the power and claim it for himself.


One thing though that continuously pisses me off is the god damn announce team TALKING DURING THEIR ENTRANCE. Oh my God, it's like you're trying to fucking ruin these guys. They talk during no one else's entrance except Wyatt. Seriously, wtf?


*Entrance music plays, lights go dark*


JBL: "Huh huh huh, wooooooow they ARE scary Michael!!"
King:"Look at this! It's the Wyatt Family! They are creepin' me out!"
Cole: "The wholly enigmatic, and disturbing, Wyatt Family, making their way to the ring. And here's what's interesting, guys, is that we don't know the Wyatts' true intentions, we don't know their..."

SHUT THE FUCK UP

:lol

But seriously you're right! They could easily be feuding with a returning Mysterio right now and bringing in Rey's son Dominick, for a Raven/Sandman like storyline where Dominick gets brainwashed by Bray Wyatt and begins to hate his father. It would be incredible!

So would any story involving a superstar who believes in God. Bray could talk about being the king of demons and all that with him. So many endless possibilities that still fit Wyatt's agenda and they are still stuck on this Kane storyline like it's all Wyatt's got in him fpalm.

The Wyatt Family could have their own tv series with how deep their gimmick is.

New characters really need to be constantly involved in proper fueds to keep them relevant.
After Wyatt's time with Kane ended, he's basically been filler, and as a result a lot of the interest in his character has diminished.
The Miz segment suggests he's gonna be used as filler once more.
Sad times. Deserves better.

He puts an amazing amount of emotion into his character whether you like the character or not. RTWM seems very hefty right now. So maybe he'll have a clear direction going in or post MANIA. I liked the way he ended that promo with the "burning with the saints" bit. I'm guessing that means DB will go down with the rest of the good guys.

You're right. Everyone is ready to jump on Bray's jock and he isn't even a full time wrestler currently. He's a manager at best. Monday was his first full length televised match in forever and it lasted all of 5 minutes before the Uso's won. The cage rematch lasted 10 and half of that was Bryan and the other half was hanging onto or climbing a cage. I didn't watch NXT so maybe this guy is a great wrestler and I just don't see it but unless that is true it is way too damned early to be painting this guy as the next Undertaker or Jake the Snake when right now all he's proven to be is the next Paul Heyman....all talk.
