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: The moment we have all been waiting for. Bray Wyatt Vignettes

Theres already a topic on this OP. And to be honest this Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt family look like they suck I dont think they will make it on the main roster they will be jobbing out to low card talent or dancing with the likes of Brodus Clay and Sweet T

You do know saying things like this is why there are a lot of people here who don't take you seriously right?

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

My one fear is Lawler, the way he reacted and talking about him trending (I was also bugged that he was acting like he didn't know him, I know he was adding mystery to him but when you acknowledge everyone else knows who he is it feels weird) didn't work with the character in my mind, in fact the clean shiny RAW doesn't feel like it would suit him as opposed to the lower budget FCW/ NXT.

I'm just having bad images of Wyatt creepily dancing and Lawler going "This man is definitely 5 quarters short of a nickel, you know I hear in the Civil War his family fought for the East. He's so ugly mice jump on stools when he walks in. I bet he's a slut like AJ." and Cole laughing and them having a side discussion for a few minutes while Wyatt does his stuff.

Re: The moment we have all been waiting for. Bray Wyatt Vignettes

I'll just repeat what I said in the other thread cause it does concern me, I love the character but I feel it worked in the low budget, Indy-esque FCW/ NXT as opposed to the clean shiny RAW/ SD.

I'm also having bad images of Wyatt creepily dancing and Lawler going "This man is definitely 5 quarters short of a nickel, you know I hear in the Civil War his family fought for the East. He's so ugly mice jump on stools when he walks in. I bet he's a slut like AJ." and Cole laughing and them having a side discussion for a few minutes while Wyatt does his stuff.

All that's missing is a retard with a banjo and we got ourselves a good old fashion hootenanny. Please oh please, let there be a segment where Cole's hogtied in a dark room with a single light and one of them begins to sing Oh My Darling, Clementine.

Re: The moment we have all been waiting for. Bray Wyatt Vignettes

I'm liking these guys, the dark cult thing they have going on has me very interested. Love this type of shit. I would love for them to just come in and fuck up everyone in their path, in a sadistic type way.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming


Normally wouldnt post stuff like this up but guy is obviously trying to make his video viral or something. Thought someone uploaded it to make fun of someone but realized the uploader is the guy in the video.

Looks set up anyway.

Edit: was posted somewhere in the thread before. Ninja'd

I didn't realize Bray Wyatt was IRS's son and Barry Windham's nephew. Wrestling is in his blood.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Someone needs to remind me of the same of that wrestler who had a psychopath gimmick and once had a promo that implied he was a pedophile back in 1995.

As much as I like Husky Harris' new gimmick, I sincerely doubt the mainstream audience is going to understand it or be able to move beyond the guy being very creepy.

The only person who can pull off a gimmick like this without having to make it a comedy character is Dustin Runnels.

Wait and see, this gimmick is soon going to turn into a joke due to the lack of reactions he gets from regular viewers.

I assume you mean Waylen Mercy? Not sure about the pedo thing though.

I too kind of worry about the mainstream audience's reception of this kind of character and Windham/Bray being screwed because of it. In addition to what you said already, I fear it may go over well, at least with older males and they turn him into a face.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

When they come up, I don't even see Bray as the one who will be the big picture. I see him winding up as the mouth piece behind the family. Seeing them in that subpar prom put it all into a different perspective. The big men will wind up stealing the show in a Kane esque tun of events. Finally hearing Luke HArper speak actually made me listen. Bray looked like a joke but in a good way. While the big boys looked like they were really the ones to worry about.

I think we are about to see more of a Paul Bear with the Undertaker - Harper and Kane - Rowan at the helm.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

remember jericho's awesome vignette's that were completely pointless once he came back. who was the she that commanded him and what was the end of the world? he came back as the same regular jericho with no new character. pointless and a letdown. don't get too worked up over a vignette. it'll just let you down.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

^ Promo school basically. Somebody leaked a bunch of NXT talent cutting promo's in a drama class ad lib type set-up and posted them to youtube.
Now THAT's interesting!!

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Husky Harris was a fantastic talent with a shitty gimmick.
Bray Wyatt is a fantastic talent with an incredible gimmick.

To those who think his gimmick and promos are all there is to the guy, don´t worry, he is actually great in the ring for a man his size.

Yes, "great", not just decent. I will go out on a limb and say I haven´t seen a guy that talented in a long, long time.
