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.

For the record, I wasn't knocking Bray's ability. I don't watch modern wrestling, so I was just trying to keep it real and not pretend this death impacts me in some profound way. And I drew a comparison to a death that did impact me.

Indeed.


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".


What was it about Eddie that hit you different?

Fuckin hell, 36. That is awful. My heart breaks for his wife and kids.

I was a big fan of his. One of the most creative guys I've seen. I was always interested to see what his next thing was because I knew he'd bring something different to the show.

What a shame

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.

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.

Not a fan of Bray myself. But you don’t need to be to appreciate the humanity of this story. He wasn’t an insignificant figure, either. You’re right in that this will be a big deal to people.,

For like less than a second with the way SD ended I thought it was a work and he was back. Just the way they filmed it and filled the whole camera shot with the shot of him on the tron, for like .5 seconds I was like "WTF?! No freaking way they would have faked this"

Absolutely loved him as a performer. I remember even Cornette (before they leaned heavy into the supernatural aspects) said after watching him for the first time in one of the Firefly Funhouse vignettes that it was a rare example of “goofy shit” that could actually work because the performer is so good.

This sucks.

On a side note: “Broken Out in Love” was a fantastic theme song.

It wasn't shown on air, but according to a few things I've read, Roman was there and he gave the blue belt he won from Bray to his family and it's now officially retired.

Eddie Guerrero was mentioned earlier. It’s hard to believe he was only 38 himself. Maybe it’s just because of how we age, but 38 seemed way older back then. Brian Pillman was only 35.

I was 18 when Guerrero passed, and 38 made him seem like one of the "old guys" in wrestling. I'm now 36.

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.

People are welcome to feel how they want. The fact that he pointed out that he doesn't care about the situation but knows that people will be affected by it the same way that he felt when Eddie died.

People get annoyed when you don’t muster up fake sentimentality for people’s deaths. There’s this social trap to pretend that someone was amazing and you’re going to miss them dearly even if it’s a lie.

Dale just said that he wasn’t a fan, it’s not his thing, but he can empathize with people who do watch because Bray had some contemporary significance.

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.
