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: The eater of worlds is coming

That vignette was sick! :mark:

I had covered some stuff of his on the new NXT until he got injured and was off the show for a few weeks. And from what I had seen, he had already won me over. I'm not sure about the family though, they seem to be a bit green. Bray was always good in the ring and on the mic, all he needed was a character, a gimmick. And this Bray Wyatt character, it just seems to be tailor-made for him. Just when I though things were getting good with the likes of the SHIELD, Fandango and Curtis Axel joining the main roster, they just got even better!

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I haven't seen much of Bray Wyatt aside from some youtube videos, but that vignette on Raw was pretty creepy, especially the lamb masks. With WWE having so many young fans, the Wyatt Family will legit scare a lot of the fan base. Similar to how Undertaker scared kids as a heel in 1991.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I am sincerely praying that the WWE doesn't fuck this up. I am trying to draw on what depleted faith I have in this company because if done right, this could be a main event stable and one of the best storylines in years. These creepy, backwoods folk, talking about the immorality of man, and their leader (the one that says he's afraid of what terrible things he can do and is so manipulative) who has assembled this frightening caste of characters as his believers...I definitely understand people likening it to Deliverance. Even gives me a Texas Chain Saw Massacre vibe, with Wyatt wearing the butcher-like apron in the small house. Crazed psychos talking about the end of the world and trying to brainwash people. Its disturbing, and so entertaining.

However, if their first week goes the same as the first two Joe Henning has had...not enough Cornette faces in the world.

Excellent post and I agree with this completely. From what I understand thus far from the, albeit unreliable, dirtsheets, Triple H views Wyatt and crew as his top developmental guys so I'm sure he'll protect in a similar way to how the Shield is now. This is what I hope though, but I would say its reasonable to believe Wyatt himself, at least, will be handled well through this push.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I know others have said it, but i feel I need to:

How much credit does Husky deserve, eh? Not only did he bounce back after being sent back to FCW, but to come up with a completely new gimmick AS WELL as a direction to YAKE that gimmick--you just don't see a lot of young talent these days do both. They can't envision where they want a character to go if they even come up with one. Not to mention a stable to go with it! If you look at the great stars in wrestling, they know how to be organic and create themselves something as well as CHANGE IT to help it evolve. Rotunda has done that, and if history is any indication, we are in for something special.

It's such a rarity that a talent is able to create something like this. Please, if you're a wrestling fan, appreciate how special it is what you're about to watch. :)

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I haven't watched NXT in a long time so I have absolutely no idea about the Wyatt Family and I feel so out of the loop. At the same time I can't wait to see what happens when they debut in WWE, all because of that vignette. It's still hard to believe that is, or was, Husky Harris.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Screw Ryback and Curtis Axel. Push real stars like this one right here. He really reminds of Mankind. I can't wait for his debut on the main roster. My only concern is the booking. I hope they do justice with him because he is a rarity these days.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Bray isn't the star of that trio. Luke Harper is.

Bray will be a Paul Barer to Undertaker/Kane and will be a great mouth piece but his image over all is lacking to go super over. All it will take is a few more jokes from Jericho about this white pants and fedora and he will be a laughing stock. Harper on the other hand is a fking animal.

Wyatt:

Family:

Wyatt:
Run

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I think we need to see people with lamb masks sitting in the front row for a few weeks before his debut.
Have the faces occasionally look at them during entrances and matches, play it up as Wyatt trying to psyche everyone out before he even arrives.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I absolutely couldn't stand him as Husky Harris, with such a bad look and him being very bland. However, this promo video and with a completely new character, it seems to be a good character.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I've been completely absent from everything related to the wrestling world for some time now. I don't even read results anymore. The wrestling product for me has just reached an all-time low in quality. There's zero entertainment, nothing really stands out, the company seems to only invest in terrible wrestlers and let the actual talented ones to rot in the midcard. Add to this the fact that RAW is a 3 hour show and yeah, it's impossible for me to even think about watching that.

Wyatt's debuting soon enough though, and yes, considering I'm a fan of him, of course I'll be watching him. I really want to believe they see the potential that he has and therefore treat him according to his incredible talent, but considering the way they do things, knowing their awful writing, seeing superstars like Ryback, Sheamus, and McGillicutty of ALL people receiving better treatment than guys like Sandow, for example, just makes me wish I don't even bother with this.

Swear to God that if they drop the ball with him I'm definitely done with WWE. Enough is enough.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Found this:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wwe-live-in-fear-bray-wyatt/id655647419?ign-mpt=uo=4

Looks like he's got a new theme, BUT! it's made by the same artist as Broken Out in Love! Hmm...

EDIT: It's the same! My bad. :D
I was just going to say your edit, but good on you to correct it quickly lol. What I do wonder though, is if they will change the "broken out of love" part of the chorus somehow to incorporate their new song title?
 
#358 ·
Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

You gotta wonder if it will be edited though. Like maybe they'll have it go into the solo after the first verse?

I do wonder if the name change was just for copyright reasons or they have a tweak or two in mind...

Hey as long as they don't change any of the actual instrumental portion of the song and only maybe get the original artist to redo the chorus slightly so it doesn't say broken out of love. That would be the only change I'd be fine with.
