Vince Russo telling it like it is R.I.P. Bray Wyatt
his loss is hitting me hard,the images of him and his family and career is just so much emotion..his story will be unfinished, there was so many different angles ahead for him and we'll never know what was next
I can agree. Bray Wyatt had 1 of the best factions of all time. Wwe missed the ball not making him a champ for a long time.
They couldnt. Bray had pre-existing heart issues that were managed but took time off a lot because he had to. One example they didnt want to have Goldberg squash the Fiend like he did but he had to limit his schedule due to his pre-existing heart condition. When he contracted Covid, like many people with pre-existing conditions would be exacerbated. Unfortunately, Covid really messed him up. Its tragic.
@@kev0lution he should had held the belt when he was with the Wyatt family, I didn't like the fiend tbh. He was good when he was acting like WCW Raven, Firefly fun house was ok
@@romeovega4301But everything he did kept you watching!
@@kev0lutionYES
I agree with Dr Chris Bray Wyatt should have been a head writer. The man had so many talents that weren't just tied to his in ring performance. I hope he rests in peace.
This is such sad news, so sorry for Bray Wyatt's entire family. We have truly lost one of the greats, no doubt! This man was an absolute genius and as Vince says, his creativity and talent was way beyond what WWE knew what to do with. I always thought he should have had a very long run with the WWE title as the fiend until someone could finally mow him down! God rest his soul, there will never be another like him. Growing up on the Undertaker and Kane, I feel that Bray Wyatt indeed is right up there with them, and was possibly better. We will miss you Bray and thank you for the memories Brother! ✨🙏✨
Do you think someone did something to him?❤❤
I don’t know if my message went through, but do you think someone did something to him?💚💛💚💛
I said just looks weird and fishy💚💛💚
I like to Bree Wyatt, when he the doghouse Alexa and her doll started in the picture with bray Wyatt it was like a kid show when Randy, Orton and and that other guy that hang around Orton act like a clown with his scooter, and they called them selves RK bro, but anyway, it was like a kid show that Michonne made me laugh and he was even messing with Orton Alexa. he’s greedy just for a dollar. they don’t care for the wrestlers they just wanna make money off the wrestlers then I can’t find the stickers to send you guys when I have a question you guys can see it and like I said I can send you money, saying some and I am subscribed to you guys❤❤
They could have build an entire cinematic style of matches around the Fiend as well, and probably a ton of other ideas. Bray could probably think of a way to connect Bo Dallas and his previous characters that would make sense. Miles ahead of WWE
Still haven't even begun to process the fact that Bray is no longer with us. This will sit with me for a very very long time. Breaks my heart.. RIP
yes
RIP Bray Wyatt. My thoughts and best wishes are to Mike Rotunda, Bo Dallas and all of Bray Wyatt's family and friends,
Bray truly did have extraordinary talent and an amazing gift. He was soooo good at the characters he portrayed. I'm still so shocked 😭 it's not supposed to end this way! Your legions of fans will never forget you Bray
I still don't want to believe it
@@PeterParker-yb1inYES
I like Wyatt but I would still give that honor to Taker
The great actor with the potential to be the best character
His passing hit me so hard he was awesome very creative and talented 🙏
YES
Just imagine if he was in the creative team n after wrestling he would have been in charge wrestling would have sky rocket to heights never before seen with his thoughts n creativity the characters for each wrestler would have been out of this world 🌍 he did have the whole world in his hands even in movies he would have changed the business in movie n wrestling industry that's the DAMN truth
WWE is like other companies in the world some of them don’t have confidence in true talents
I dont agree with Russo alot but he's absolutely correct. This whole thing really hurts because he was so damn talented. He was on a different level than anyone I've ever seen, even the undertaker. We all knew taker wasn't really a dead man. Bray's "gimmick" seemed as tho that was really him. I've never seen anything like it. He enthralled himself into being Bray Wyatt. His psychology was nonpareil frfr. Even with him dropping hints in his promo for a long time. He added a word that didn't belong in every one of his promos that created a message. He did that for months! Who does that? This man's mind was incredible. The whole hints with the white rabbit and the qr codes. Just brilliant. I don't normally get emotional when wrestlers/famous people pass away but I dropped a tear when I heard the news. I feel horrible for his family BUT I also feel horrible for the wrestling business. Bray didn't even reach his final form. I hope he knew how beloved he was. I gotta go back and watch his return. That still gives me chills watching the love we gave him. Rest easy, Bray 🙏🏿
A damn good character who kept jobbing out to other wrestlers, some less talented like Trash Cena and Boreman Stains
Exactly 💯
@@genecide6869WWE Wyatt Family
Undoubtedly he had the greatest character ever Vince russo is absolutely spot on❤️ Wish Social media and some so called vritics were not as rude to windham it really pisses me off more now that he is no more...!!! RIP Bray ❤
There's a lot of great characters that'll be difficult to label Bray as being the greatest - There's the Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, Mick Foley's or Jericho's characters. But Bray's case is certainly different. In spite of it being WWE's worst era for characters, storylines and overall creative entertainment, Bray was still able to navigate through all those hurdles, continually reinventing himself and being able to hold the audience's interest, which speaks volume to how great he was (just imagine him being able to exist during a different era, where WWE had the talent around for him to excel). For me, he was one of just a few (2 - 3) that was worth watching. Anyone who like me is a "casual" fan, knew Bray was capable of so much more, and it was always frustrating to see a talent you knew could and should have been so much bigger, not being able to be properly utilised because of WWE's creative limitations. Dying either in or before his prime only adds to his aura too.
The Undertaker - arguably the greatest of characters, has come back for that "1 more match", we've beared witness to the 'Phenom' screwing up, and watching his last matches in a state of caution and anxiety because of the known risk of something not going correctly. Mick Foley we've seen him turn into this woke liberal at times online and stand behind some controversial political topics that you'd never expect from a guy who leaped off of a Cell. Bray, fortunately, will never have any of those blemishes. He is the Van Gogh or Tupac of wrestling
Foley overrated..RIP Bray
@@ninowaves4061YES
I may have differing opinions with Vince Russo but I agree wholeheartedly with him. Everything. Bray could have easily been a legendary force in the horror film genre.
They fkd up when they did the fiend. Wyatt family with the entrance & all was next level
I liked him, but Taker and Kane were better characters.
I am pretty sure bray Wyatt didn’t needed the WWE he was so good at acting that he would blow everyone’s mind when he was in Hollywood
He would overthrown „the rock“ wich is in my opinion an overrated actor he is actually a horrible actor never liked that guy actually.
Bray had so much potential to be way bigger outside wwe.
Well said Hit me in the stomach as well.
Agreed his character and storytelling was so far superior to anything in my knowledge of professional wrestling.
Bray is certainly up there amongst the greatest characters. My personal favourite is The Undertaker, but he is for sure in the same bracket as Taker and Mick Foley for me. Especially Foley who was also a creative genius. A complete visionary 😢
Taker is the best character. Hands down
Na mankind, cactus jack, dude love ,mick folley
did you got a head injury? bray wyatt no question or discussion
Foley overrated..really listing dude love as a great character 😂😂 mark…RIP bray
@@ninowaves4061Uncle Howdy
The passing of Windham Rotunda/Bray Wyatt hit everybody hard and naturally there's going to be much sentiment about that. W/ that being said, and though it's just wrestling, one ought take emotion out of the equation when attempting to assert and then validate by explanation, on why the Bray Wyatt character goes down as the best character in wrestling and they should do so because many wrestling fans are intilectually honest when it comes to wrestling.
There's only one Undertaker and The Undertaker will always be the greatest character in all of professional wrestling and that's the way it is when you take emotion out of the equation and that's honest. Bray Wyatt was a very rare and unique character but the assertion that that character was the best in all of wrestling quite simply is a dishonest argument imo. We saw 3 versions of Wyatt the same way we saw 3 faces of Foley and Foley's 3 faces had way more range and depth than Wyatt's.
Foley was a better performer than Wyatt and that's truly what this entire talking point is about, performance. Foley had more natural charisma and Foley was also a much better in ring worker than Wyatt who was known for matches more theatrical and in truth not often well received. It's a sad lost indeed and absolutely. However, needless pandering is needless pandering.
RIP Bray Wyatt
And Now Bob Barker we Lost Terry and Bray Thursday wow rough week of wrestling he was a guest host of Raw with Jericho people life is short even if your 99 39 19 we ain't promise of tomorrow and cherish every day as it's your last... 😢
So true
I can't believe I'm agreeing with Vince Russo, but this is about Bray Wyatt RIP.
I agree with Vince on this one. Some film studio would have snatched Windham up sooner or later, but he liked wrestling!
The Undertaker is clearly a better character than Bray Wyatt. Don't lie just because he died.
He has a sister too
Great character but I’d put Undertaker and Goldust characters ahead of Bray.
Wress-a-ling
Bray Wyatt is a good character but not the greatest That honor goes to Undertaker in my opinion
Im confused, he just says he "exchanged" DM's with Windham on many occasions, "bro go to hollywood" etc....then Russo says "i did not know him" never met hin etc. I am going to just assume he means literally met or knew in life.
Yes that's exactly what he meant. Just because you exchange a few DMs with someone that doesn't mean you know or have met the person.
@@MrderfulYES
Yeah, sure, let's blame "COVID" for whatever happened to this young man, if you people wants to believe that, go ahead, but what people needs to ask themselves is this... Why WWE wrestlers are keep dying young??? Since the mid 90s a lot of wrestlers were dying young and nobody looks at that fact...
His family said he had Covid
@@troystahmann8659Correct
Wow 🤦🏿♂️( respectfully) that sounded pretty uninformed. The dude died of a heart attack. Covid fucked up alot of people. It has absolutely nothing with him being a wrestler.
@@troystahmann8659I had Covid in April of this year, and I suffered heatstroke just last month. I’m still living, don’t know how long for but I’m sure asf not gonna have ppl saying I died from Covid. I’m 1000% sure there was more health issues involved, sure Covid might have gave it a boost, but he didn’t die from Covid
But muh COVID... Muh COVID
Yes, it's sad and unfortunate that he died prematurely, but to call Bray Wyatt "the greatest character in WWE's history" is a ridiculous, lip service-serving reach! He was polarizing at best. You either liked what he brought or hated it. There's no middle ground. Many found his stuff post-Wyatt Family eye-rolling gobbledygook more suited to a Rob Zombie movie than pro wrestling. He'll never be The Undertaker and he certainly didn't have the universal impact of a Hulk Hogan. He wasn't even on the level of a 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase. THOSE were the best characters. Wyatt was a Waylon Mercy ripoff turned horror-themed stretch of credibility who had his place amongst a certain set of fan. Windham Rotunda from all accounts was a wonderful guy and yes, he should still be with us. That's as far as it goes.
Yes
He was one of the biggest gr@@mers. Revolting
I think they should’ve canceled it because of respect for the family❤❤ but you know Vince McMahon, anything for a dollar Mike, Vance and stone edge, Brett Favre‘s brother on anything for dollar learning care as he passed went on like it was nothing it was considered a murder❤❤ the pay-per-view tonight that should’ve been canceled over the family cancel that I would’ve canceled it act like it never happened❤❤
Absolutely not.
Hell no 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yes
Bray wyatt did not need wwe wwe need him
I'm not watching the video because who really cares what that guy thinks bro, but based on the title of this video I must say he's wrong. No disrespect to Bray because I loved a lot of the stuff he did and I think he could have been the greatest character if the Bray Wyatt/The Fiend characters materialized the way he envisioned them. The main issue is he changed the gimmick too many times in a short period of time and I don't think anyone really knew who Bray Wyatt was or who he was actually trying to be when he had his last run that ended back in January.
For lack of a better word, it became a mess and I think most people would agree. Everyone knows by this point that the original incarnation of Bray Wyatt wasn't so much a rip-off of Waylon Mercy but Bray admitted that Mercy was the main inspiration of the Wyatt character so you can't really say Bray is the greatest character when it's just a newer version of a previous character. Obviously the Bray Wyatt character was different in many ways and Mercy barely existed in the first place but if Mercy never existed then it's very possible that Bray Wyatt as we know him would never have existed either. I do think the Firefly Funhouse stuff was incredibly creative and revolutionary but I feel it didn't mesh 100% with The Fiend character and it eventually became a convoluted mess at the end, especially with the inclusions of Bliss and Uncle Howdy. That was very unfortunate too because I truly believe Bray had a greater vision for his characters but for whatever reason the final product didn't live up to his expectations and his last storyline will probably be remembered for giving LA Knight his big break instead of the Uncle Howdy stuff.
The Undertaker is hands down the greatest character ever because it was completely original and unlike anything we had ever seen before and Kane is the 2nd greatest character ever and the biggest reason is because we got to go through the entire journeys of both characters and unfortunately with Bray Wyatt we will never get to see that.
I compare the Bray Wyatt character to Mankind due to the fact that both guys played their characters perfectly and both got their respective characters over but at the same time both guys outplayed their characters to the extent that they really didn't need the characters anymore, with the main exception being that Bray didn't want to let go of his character/vision and ended up straying too far from the original path. Foley primarily used the Mankind character during his entire run from 96-2000 and was in character during his reign as World Champion but he also added other dynamics to his character like Dude Love and Cactus Jack, just like Bray did with The Fiend character and this comparison to Mick Foley was probably his biggest motivation when he chose the mandible claw as The Fiends finisher.
No one reading that book 😂😂 RIP Bray
@@ninowaves4061YES
Bray Wyatt wasn't close to being the greatest ever at anything, gimme a break.
I disagree
If someone praises the bloodline story Russo says it's not even close and gives examples of great storylines in the history of the business, and i get that. But at the same time he says Bray Wyatt is the best character in the history? I know he died and it's sad, but come on
The fiend was definitely at the top character wise
Name another wrestler that made up his own character like 12 to 15 yrs ahead of time an it actually got over.. Name another that has been called the new age undertaker (knowing the amount of pressure an size of the shoes he had to fill because the amount of respect taker has in the locker room an business)
Ta7sint the wyatt family storyline used to be better then the bloodline story
Bray was so so talented he will always love the fans chris your right vince mcmahon was stupid to let go bray you are right if bray was still living he he could of retired and help other new superstars and produce
The characters were some of the greatest. The booking is what killed them. It started with Cena destroying him in his first major feud.
Right he wants to get brownie points with fans.
RIP. But he was a bad character. Not the greatest, not even good.
