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

Heard a lot of good things about Wyatt, if it's anything like Ambrose and the talk of him I'll be impressed. By the looks of it his selling point is his gimmick - good to see more people on the roster with interesting gimmicks (Y)

Who are these two with him? His family? Are they just jobbers?

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I've just watched the promo again, and the only negatives I can say about it are that they let Harper and Rowan talk. It's not a major issue, but I feel they should be kept as the silent killers who abide by whatever Wyatt tells them. They've been doing a decent job on NXT, especially Harper who is an absolute beast. On the other hand, I get a dysfunctional family vibe, something along the lines of Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Deliverance, with Max Cady as the leader.

If they let Wyatt cut promos like he does in NXT, then I see no reason why more people will catch on with this character. I see some ridiculous cop outs like 'it's PG he'll never catch on', but Mankind (who I see some slightly warped similarities with Wyatt) at his most deranged was a big player in PG era WWF. Either way, I've been anticipating the debut of this guy for months, and is probably the guy I will look for first when I tune in.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

^I've said the same thing - Harper and Rowan shouldn't have talked, outside of the singing at the end. They just didn't really pull it off, there was no menace to their words. Now NXT might have blew it by never having them talk and thus not knowing how to go about it in character. But Harper expecially goes from mindless yeahyeahyeah rambling in NXT to wholly understandable and over-enunciating in this promo. It was obvious that Rowan and Harper were reciting their lines in front of the green screen. If they were mute the whole promo, except for the singing at the end - it would have been perfect.

As it was, I think they're changing the characters a bit. Rowan and Harper are not going to be monster drones, but the working class stiffs beaten down and bent over by the system, treated like work horses and not people. So Bray finds them and empowers them to "walk upright" again.

Rowan dresses like a garbage man, Harper like a trucker and Bray with the Butchers Apron. It's like Bray is a Working Class Messiah type now.

If they look to add one more to the stable, maybe a character of a fast food worker or something - Corey Graves, Mike Dalton or Enzo Amore would all seem to fit. Smaller guys who could be the work rate guy of the faction. Graves would be ideal, but he deserves bigger and better than such a role. Dalton could fit and a McDonalds assistant manager who speaks in corporate soundbytes, with a really forced smile that never leaves his face and really busts his ass and takes his job seriously because one day he wants to work his way up to manager - but he's been assistant manager for seven years sorta deal.

Harper cut a promo on WWE.com in the build up for that NXT Royal Rumble tournament and nailed it, he came across as a murderous psycho so he can pull off speaking. I'm not sure why the vignette wasn't like that, other than the fact that maybe they don't want to overdo things too early on. I'm hoping that the future vignettes will become darker and more intense. Agree that Rowan shouldn't have spoken, especially when they have been pushing him as some sort of mentally impaired guy in NXT.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Looking forward to Wyatt's debut, now just have to wait for Ohno and Adrian Neville to be bought up and RAW should be pretty impressive again.

SIDE NOTE: I'm getting sick of WWE Youtube videos not being available in my country!

Ohno should join the shield simple to hide his physique under the shields corsets!! Next batch of wrestlers to b brought up should be Ohno, Kruger, and the ascension! Ascension should align with taker and have them help with takers part time schedule and revenge on the shield!

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

I know it's an unpopular opinion around here, but I'm pretty optimistic about the future of WWE... Lotta good guys debuting, new writers, sprinkling in a couple returns and a couple part timers, and a big wrestlmania on the horizon.... I think it's gonna be good.

This is what ive been saying all along whilst the rest are complaining. Im telling you the wwe has never had this much talent EVER! Not the attitude era not the ruthless agression era not before that not fucking ever. Cena,Punk,Orton,Bryan,Kane,Henry,Ziggler,Ambrose,Rollins,Reigns,Sandow,Rhodes,Jericho,Del rio and so many more. All of these guys are extremly wellrounded (yeah del rio cant talk but still) Theres some sick talent in todays wwe that for sure.

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

Was hoping they'd debut him alone and bring the family in later, but it looks like it'll be all of them judging by the vignette. Marked the fuck out regardless.
I dont even want to see the retardfamily. Just have him be himself like he was in the begining.

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

Am I the only one who has no idea who the fuck this is? Can someone explain to me what's so great about him?
Its his character and promo work that has generated his popularity, just do a quick Youtube search of Bray Wyatt promos.
He also does a good job of incorporating his character into his matches.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

I can't wait for Wyatt, absolutely love his character.

Only concern is his in ring quality, I haven't seen him use a great variety of moves that would be required for longer matches. This may be due to that most of his matches have been squashes.

Re: Bray Wyatt: The eater of worlds is coming

Have many of you watched the vignette atleast a dozen times like me lol. The music and just everything made it so perfect.

What's the whole thing about walking Upright.
I think it means at first they lost and hunched but now they are found and standing tall? :confused: That's my best stab at it lol.

Also, I want to see him redo THIS promo exactly with the Danzig quote and everything on the main roster.
