I started watching NXT when he was on the way out already, but I remember catching him in NXT, seeing him in the ring cutting a promo and it was like he had "so much energy that the ring could barely contain him". Those were my thoughts at the time, and I was like "whoa, this guy is gonna be huge if they let him".

Unfortunately they never quite let him be as huge as he could have been, but there are many fond memories and moments.

He left shortly before Mania. Was supposedly creative differences at first, then later out came out it was actually a preventative health issue.

Last rumors were that he did have a life threatening thing happening but that he’s gotten through it and was just recuperating.

Who fucking knows now. I’m sure his family will put it out there eventually. But man this is so tragic.

Really don’t know what to say.

He is one of the reasons I got back into wrestling. I’m gutted, I looked forward to what he would do next - I would try and guess what would happen. I was only hoping the other day that the arena was going to go black at the end of Summerslam and he would appear. Now we know why his loved ones got so angry at rumours being spread that he was coming back soon.

Just sad

Have to admit for a millisecond I thought “what if it’s a work to setup a comeback”, wrestling makes you think some weird stuff.

I was fascinated with what he was going to do next, where the story was going, there’s not many guys that make me think that nowadays. Now the story will be left untold.

His 4 kids left without a dad at such young ages, it’s difficult to comprehend.

Checking the merch site at the moment I'm mostly seeing Uncle Howdy masks and PPV plaques. Could've been an immediate run on inventory. Or the site's overwhelmed.

But I think they'll replenish and maybe break out a bunch of old designs from his earlier runs too, hopefully giving the family some proceeds in perpetuity.

Him being from a wrestling family means that a lot of his colleagues, and others in the wrestling industry, will likely have known him since he was a small child too. Makes it all the more jarring that he's gone so soon.

I've literally zero connection with Bray Wyatt, so--while this is very sad since he was so young and it's just brutal--I'm not really impacted one way or the other.

However, I imagine many people on the forum and modern fans are probably feeling the same way I felt about Eddie's death. A very pivotal figure that many identified with taken suddenly. It's fucked, no doubt.

Robin Williams's death hit me like that. Zero connection to him, but his comedy helped me through a lot of shit throughout my life. I've emulated a bit of his personality into my own life, so it felt "shitty".

He was one of my "my guys." Plus, he'd already overcome so much to get where he was. And I was only like 17 or something when he passed. I mean, I'm never particularly "gutted" when a celebrity passes--even back then. But I was definitely like, "god fucking dammit" when he passed. He had so much more to give.

Reportedly a lot of people who weren't scheduled for SmackDown are now going. Which sounds like the entire roster's been invited to turn up for what I'd guess will be a tribute show.

Hope they go that route. Storylines can be paused for a week. Let anyone who wants to wrestle go out there, especially those closest to Bray.

Yeah, found myself thinking about what they’ll do tribute wise. I guess they do something with the darkened arena and the “fireflies”. Maybe something with the lamp, maybe the rocking chair. Would it be a bit “much” if they did something with a hologram of Bray and Brodie? I can imagine Rowans will be invited along.

08-25-2023, 04:32 PM
I was listening to the tribute Cultaholic did earlier, found myself getting choked up on a few occasions. Think it’s this weird type of “arrested development” when it comes to wrestling. I was first a fan when I was really young before dropping out in early 95, then got back into it around SummerSlam 98 so I think in the formative years of my fandom wrestlers were adults. It’s probably a level of cognitive dissonance where I’ve not reconciled that I’m now older than most of the guys we watch. At 39 I’m 3 years older than Windham. He’s the same age as my wife. We have two young children (nearly 5 years old, and 7 months old) so it’s hard not to reflect on what’d mean to them if I were to go. Truly heartbreaking for those kids. Everything everyone is saying about him and the type of person he was, I bet he was a fantastic father.

Absolutely loved him as a performer.

Saw a report that Meltzer saying his heart issue goes all.the way back to December 2020, that they wrote him off when Orton lit him on fire. That he only had that quick match against Orton at Mania after that, and was released. It was also implied that it was why he did not do any independent shows after his release. Once he did get cleared again, WWE hired him back.

If that timeline is true WWE really shouldn't have released him since he was not cleared. Letting a guy go for that reason is real scummy. I also have to wonder if the plan was to transition him to just managing Bo. Still surreal how there was nothing until after the fact. With Brodie it happened in the span of a few months. But this seems like a long time for it to have been kept under wraps.

Of course it is Meltzer, so he could just be taking educated guesses.

Cornette’s comments on his death were pretty much “just because I didn’t like his wrestling doesn’t mean I wanted anything bad to happen to him, sounds like he was a great guy so this is sad”

Feels fair and not too dissimilar from what Dale said tbh.

None of us know Bray as a person. We only know him from what we see on screen. As a human yes it’s obviously sad but if you’re not a fan of his work or haven’t watched it there’s no reason to wax poetic about his legacy.

To be fair, the character necessitated the style of his ring work. He could do more, and did early on, but much like Undertaker did for many years, he prioritized working the gimmick over trying to put on back and forth bangers.

He wasn't the greatest in ring but I feel like he hitvhard and his stuff looked good. Overall I enjoyed a lot more of his matches than those I didn't.

That match with Daniel Bryan at the Rumble was REALLY good and should have been what catapulted him to a full time main event heel phenom.

And then he ran into a Cena-shaped wall at Mania.

WWE superstar Bray Wyatt experienced a series of heart complications in the months leading up to his death, and a doctor-recommended heart defibrillator was not with him when they found his body ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement records, obtained by TMZ, Wyatt -- real name Windham Rotunda -- told his girlfriend he was going to take a nap Thursday, and she became concerned when she heard his alarm going off about an hour later without stopping.

The report says Windham was discovered in his bed, not breathing, and was turning blue. Windham's girlfriend called 911, as her mother attempted CPR ... but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Cops spoke with Windham's immediate family members who said he had COVID in March 2023 and developed heart complications -- causing him to have a "weak lower part of his heart." In fact, just a week before he died, Windham was hospitalized for a heart issue. He had a follow-up appointment with doctors the morning he died and was advised to continue to wear an external heart defibrillator -- a device designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Though it's not known if the device would have saved his life, investigators determined Windham was not wearing the defib at the time of his death ... they later located it inside his vehicle parked in the driveway.

He was only 36.

Well shit, even if he was not wearing it, if he was JUST at the doctors that day after being in the hospital the week before, there must not have been much they could do.

I wonder if the reason he did not get an internal defibrillator is because his heart was already too damaged to handle a surgical procedure.

Out all every death last week.... and in a while- this one hurts. RIP.

Best character since the Undertaker. One of the main reasons to watch WWE between 2013 and up (after Punk left)

Damn it.

After reading that, could Bray have actually made a comeback like people were talking about?

Does not seem like it tbh. Maybe as a manager but as an active performer? No way they let a man who requires a defribilator to get in the ring and rassle. If something had happened to him in a match they would get absolutely demolished by the media and fans for it once all that came out.

It would be like allowing Jerry Lawler to go back out there and wrestler after his heart attack

I think Bray was a better character than he was a wrestler so him as a figurehead of the Wyatt 6 group they were planning was probably a better option.

Yeah, he would have been a bang up manager/cult leader if he were forced into that role for health reasons.

Absolutely terrible for his loved ones to find him like that.

It’s a fucking shame he wasn’t wearing that external defibrillator. I’m not saying this is the case specifically for Bray, but I know too many people who have been prescribed a panic button that I’ve walked in on being too far away from it to be any good.

What I don't understand is that you were basically told you need to keep this on or near you at all times. He decides not to wear it for whatever reason and dies as a result. Why you would go against what a doctor says that is completely logical is beyond me.

Not saying it would have saved him but now we will never know.

Gallows and Anderson having some tiny Japanese fan of their's show up and Bray and them were putting wrestling moves on in some Japanese hotel is fucking hysterical!

Personally, I've had my fair share of shit doctors who indeed got it wrong, nearly killing my wife twice.


Certainly there was a little ego in it insofar as "I don't need this, I'm strong".

That’s what I mean. It could have just been legitimate human error or something, but it scares the fuck out of me when people flat-out ignore doctors’ orders.

Lol, Dave Meltzer just can’t help himself.

He’s reporting that Bray Wyatt was going to sign with AEW before he returned to WWE because Vince McMahon is evil. Bray was a hero who shut down bad ideas and Vince hated him for it. That’s why he got fired and why he was almost certainly AEW-bound until…well, until he signed with WWE.

And the Young Bucks called him the day of his death to remind him to wear his defibrillator. But he didn’t listen sadly.

There’s just as many people who disregard doctors’ advice because they think they know better or simply don’t care. My aunt’s second husband developed gangrene and was told if he kept just eating whatever he wanted that would be the end of him. He kept eating whatever he wanted, and surprise, surprise, it cost him his life.

Raise your hand if you saw that coming from 1,000 miles away. ✋
