Did this guy really just say it would be nice if a wrestler had to retire due to illness? Never change, WFigs. I don’t mean it like THAT, I’m just saying, when something goes wrong, MUST it always be the WORST scenario. In a perfect world, everyone is doing fine. I’m just saying, we get good or absolute WORST. Nothing in between…it seems. Not in a literal sense, I’m just saying. Seems like it’s always 0 or 100 in wrestling. I edited it though. I didn’t mean it like that Well yes, anything not positive would automatically be negative. What “in between” are you even talking about that you’re hoping for? That’s the confusing part.

Gone way too soon... Lucky enough to see him live in 2014, along with Harper & Rowan. They were all definitely one of the highlights of that show, and Bray's match with Chris Jericho was fantastic. He was definitely one of, if not the most creative mind in modern wrestling, who put 100% into anything he did. RIP Was a fan of all the changes he made to his character, but that right there, head of the Wyatt Family, with Rowan and Harper, was my favorite version of Bray. Loved when he feuded with Braun during pandemic, and he brought the character back. He really had created a modern take on Mick's Three Faces of Foley, with the different versions of Bray Wyatt.

I think what he's saying how it seems whenever news of a wrestler having serious health issues, it usually ends with them not making it through and dying. His 'hoping a wrestler being forced to retire due to illness,' would be the better alternative then them dying from it. At least that's what I'm getting from this.

I was never a fan of him in ring and I've made that clear many times. However, going by the (strangely) many videos I've seen on social media of fan interactions with him, he always seemed like the nicest guy and looks genuinely happy to meet fans of his.
You always hear "he was so young" when people in their 50s die but Bray was only in his mid 30s. Gone far too soon. A real shame.

An unparalleled creative mind that'll definitely be missed. Hope he and Brodie are together again. I'd say make Smackdown tomorrow a two hour tribute show, but I'll probably just be crying through the whole ing thing.

I really can’t look at photos of the Wyatt family without falling apart. Between Bray and Harper the Wyatt family is the most tragic stable since the Von Erichs. Two good guys as well from what I’ve read. This is a tough one.

As for the Wyatts, I hope Braun and Rowan have good support around them, because I'm sure it's hitting hard for them, first loosing Harper/Brodie, and now Bray. Apparently Braun is the godfather of one of Bray's kids.

Wow, this one really hurts! I know The Fiend wasn't to everyone's taste but I reconnected with an old friend from my teenage years that I hadn't spoken to for over a decade because of the excitement we both had for the character and we still watch most PLE's together live to this day. Strangely enough, he's 36. A truly tragic age to pass away at.
RIP Windham 😢

Apparently Braun is the godfather of one of Bray's kids. I agree with since the Hart Foundation, but honestly, the Von Erichs are in that conversation as well. This is so horrible and, while the Rotunda family is obviously first and foremost in my prayers tonight, I can't begin to imagine the headspace that Braun and Erik are in right now. Devastated, I'm sure, but if I was them, I'd probably also be a little scared, especially considering the disturbingly similar situations involving Bray and Brodie.

Terrible. Just terrible. Far too young. I still vividly remember the Wyatt Family debut promos and the stuff with the reporter going to the compound and everything. It was so brilliantly done. RIP.

I saw that he passed away and was shocked. o sad. I always was so torn on his later creative choices but overall he was really good at what he did.
he seemed like a genuinely great person who loved what he did. RIP

I don't know what to say. When a member told me what happened, I immediately thought it was a hoax. I woke up this morning still wishing it was. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in Peace, big man.
