Do you agree with my opinions in video about the treatment of Bray Wyatt? Let me know in the comments. If you enjoyed the video, your 👍are always appreciated.

I will NEVER forget when I saw that WWE released Bray Wyatt. I legit did thought it was Kayfabe News joking about how extreme the releases at the time were when I first saw it.

4:45 People make fun of Tony Khan for being a rich kid playing with real life action figures, but Vince has been doing that for decades.

Bray Wyatt was one of the most interesting things in WWE during the 2010s decade. He had such a captivating character, a phenomenal talker on the mic and he was an amazing brawler despite his size. Every time it seemed like he was about to have a big push WWE did everything they could they just completely squander his momentum which is frustrating. Just when I thought they really were about to capitalize on push with The Fiend character yet again the company stupidly squandered his momentum again. They should really be ashamed of theirselves for horribly misusing such a wonderful talent. R.I.P.

His early burial at WrestleMania 30 really bother me but of course nobody wants to talk about it.

I remember thinking last year "man, this is the only guy that has the porential to get his character work as over as taker, that's it". Rip Windham Rotunda, I pray for great things for the Uncle Howdy storyline.

Vince failed a lot of wrestlers with his stubbornness

WWE failed Bray Wyatt by giving him too many losses and not letting him have more control over his gimmick. But unfortunately nobody learned from Vince McMahon's mistake because Triple H got in the way of the Uncle Howdy storyline.

WWE wasted such a talent in Bray Wyatt. He had such a creative mind, and even if you didn't like his work, you had to respect him for the risks he took, and the character development he did. R.I.P. to a true legend.

The worst thing they ever did was get him disqualified from a hell in a cell, a match you can’t get disqualified from.😂

Booking Brat Wyatt should have been the easiest thing in the entire world. All you had to do was LET HIM WIN. I will never understand how they kept fucking it up.

Of course they failed him,That's why I call Vince an idiot and not a genius like everyone else calls him. He didn't know what to do with him and now both are gone

WWE don't like it when The Fiend or Wyatt Family isn't there idea I think most of that was his idea so they shit all over it it seems

Years ago, I felt Bray had the potential to be his generations Undertaker. He definitely did, but years of horrible booking squandered his potential.

WWE should have had Bray break The Streak and he truly would've become "the new face of fear," but WWE botched his bookings over and over again. WWE had lightning in a bottle with Bray primed and ready to take over as Undertaker was aging out of the business, but instead they job'd him out over and over and ruined his aura. The documentary was a beautiful tribute, but failed to mention how badly his booking was handled. Follow the Buzzards!

You can tell he had a health problem he would still be an amazing manager rest in peace going too soon

I'm just hoping that Bo Dallas as Uncle Howdy can carry on Bray's legacy and right the wrongs forced upon him.

I'll never forgive Vince for destroying the Fiend character which was once the hottest thing in wrestling

100% on point (as usual) sir. Unfortunately Wyatt was among the many wasted opportunities due to the many, many, many bad decisions from Vince. While he always made mistakes and bad decisions, Vince went into overdrive in the last 10 years of his tenure and Wyatt sadly was just one more casualty. You could say he had it a little better (for a while) than others - but not everyone had Windham’s creativity. As long as the WWE controls the narratives of docs and pieces like the Wyatt special, the truth never comes out, their mistakes never acknowledged, and history is always rewritten. This is why non-WWE voices are always important. So thank you as always and keep them coming.

When Orton posed outside the house I honestly thought he was trying to catch a cameraman they left in there

They failed him in every way possible

I like how the documentary highlights how he would be frustrated with creative and would constantly argue with them. Confirming what we pretty much knew

*Vince :* Hey PAL we are gunna build you up over 2 years and then have you do the J O B to Goldberg its gunna be great PAL!

I hate to be a parrot, but you're absolutely right about Rotunda getting himself over, no thanks to WWE. When I was a kid, I only saw Husky Harris in Bray Wyatt until he made that character undeniable. Then despite it all, he did his hardest to keep the Bray Wyatt character relevant. And he kept it going with The Fiend despite WWE's bullshit booking. And now, he's no longer with us, and we're only left with what could've been. Rest in Peace, Windham. I wish you could've lived to perform in the Paul Levesque Era.

Bray Wyatt was truly a breath of fresh air upon his arrival in WWE. After a few brutal years of Authority and Laurenaitis BS, this felt so organic and enthralling..... naturally VKM didn't get it at all and destroyed it at every turn. The entire Bray Wyatt saga stands as a testament to VKM being out of touch and needing to step aside. Sadly, Windham Rotunda never knew a WWE without Vince.

I'll always love The Fiend and the Ghost Story Bray told about him way before introducing it.

Thank you for this. Obviously any sort of s*xual harassment or abuse is worse, but Vince’s treatment of Bray was his most unforgivable business decision that he ever made. And I genuinely despise him for it. Even if he is cleared off all the other stuff, I would never support him coming back to WWE in any capacity. Maybe let him give a Hall of Fame speech, but that’s it. P*ss off, old man. Rip, Bray. I and millions of other fans enjoyed your work and you deserved better.

Great video… this needed to be said just sad that it’s too late now #ripbray

Seeing HHHs direction for the company just shows, honestly, how stupid Vince was when it came to character direction.

The BS with HiaC 2019 was one of the two things that caused me to step away from wrestling for a bit (the other one being Kofi's getting squashed in 10 seconds). I remember hearing about Bray's firing and thought it was just the dumbest thing ever. Even more so because, if I remember correctly, I heard that he had been THE to merch seller for a good while. How do you just fire one of your biggest stars like that? The fact that he stayed as over as he did in spite of awful booking is really a testament to him and is HoF worthy all on it's own. He was my favorite wrestler, and I'm damn sure gonna miss him.

I actually really liked when Alexa Bliss came in with the Fiend

That segment with awaken Matt hardy was crazy

One of the best creative minds in wrestling for ages

What? WWE rewrote history to make THEM look good? I’m shocked. SHOCKED. 😉 I agree with you 💯

RIP Bray Wyatt You deserve better than WWE gave you. I blame WWE for the stupidity and foolishness knowing that there was a virus going on they didn't care nor they had no concern about a persons safety health and well being. Their greed and advarace blind them completely.

It’s kinda been known for years now that he got done dirty at every moment practically.

10:45 In terms of the chance to finally shine, u DAMN right tragic is the word, because it would've been great to see what HHH could've done creating WITH Bray, as opposed to the idiotic booking vince and his entertainment for a party of ONE did

I dont agree with everything you say. I think the characters of Orton and Bliss in Bray story was good and, of course, it should have been better. However, overall, you are right. In the doccumentary they make it seeem like Bray “demons” were the ones to blame for Wyatt failures, when, all the fans could see that behind every great Bray’s idea Vince was there to f*** it up

And I had the feeling that the bad ideas was his doing. The framing of WWE kind worked on me. Thanks for educating me about the real culprit in this sad relationship!

5:15 seeing Bray in a casket is eerie 😢

Thank you for making this video so I can express my thoughts on this matter. It seemed that with the Wyatt Family, they got a good amount of time and a decent push on the shows with their promos and matches. However, Vince/creative failed Windham and The Fiend character MISERABLY! I started watching during the attitude era, and talked with fans that all feel as I do that the company destroyed the best character and storyline in the 21st Century. In the middle of the 2010's, many began to ponder and discuss what the next big thing was going to be. Yes, there has been great wrestlers, but who was going to be "the new face of fear" that pushed the envelope and was larger than life? In the summer of 2019, The Fiend was exactly what I was waiting 20 years for; and his attack music/sound, good lord! This is just my opinion and I have to emphasize this, but that attack theme is the scariest thing I've heard that outdid Taker's Funeral March and Kane's theme. Another fan at the time of The Fiend's debut said: The Undertaker gave kids nightmares, but The Fiend is about to give grown men nightmares! After they destroyed Windham's wonderful creation and put the cherry on top by letting him go in 2021, I was really hoping AEW would destroy WWE! Unfortunately, AEW is now becoming a joke, but at least now I'm enjoying WWE much more with Paul in charge. Other wrestlers have not been pushed or utilized correctly over the years, but Vince and creative's decision to stop The Fiend's run before it even really started is the worst thing they have done when it comes to a character/storyline. That's why, however, all of us fans are going to make sure Windham's legacy continues to live on and celebrated. Thank you Windham for bringing such joy and excitement to all of us fans that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives!

When Bray became the Fiend I knew his time was up as WWE. Don't like keeping their monster wrestlers as the likes of Papa Shango Gangrel Boogeyman.

WWE where careers go to die

“Thankfully Kane did the right thing” Kane is one of the most generous guys in WWE history. If anything, he could have benefited from having some ego to protect his spot a little more and not be a midcard and tag team guy most of his career.

The biggest mistake they made was making him get a 💉

R.I.P

I completely agree however Bray was one of the most creative individuals I’ve ever seen. I’m a writer, right I write stories comics, etc., and this man was and still is a inspiration for me I’m not sure what you think about this but there’s a KZfaq channel called parts fun known where Adam rebooks brays entire career from the colt leader to the fiend to find me uncle Howdy he did pretty good job I’d say

They did Windham dirty when they had him lose to the Undertaker.

The Wyatt family was a great horror gimmick , really scared me especially when they brought in Braun strowman

He would’ve thrived in the triple h era. Smh, damn shame. Rip the fiend!!

I love how the undertaker has recently come out saying Bray should've been the one to end the streak. It's like where was the love for this man when he was alive dude? You all treated him like garbage, couldn't even let him get a W on the deadman. Too little to late mate.

Now those are just my thoughts take em or leave them as you will

dodnt even mention the terrible decision to call a dq in the HIC match against rollins too smfh

If bray Wyatt was either 10 to 20 years earlier or even in h's WWE his whole career would've been thriving under the right people like Heyman's smackdown etc. you can see immediately after Cena won he regretted it.

I'm disgusted on how much the WWE has trafficked in Brays memory. Treated the guy like crap, made a joke out of him, then he dies and they cared? The articles about his weight, his health, him being lazy..............Fuck those WWE marks and shills

1:17 now who saw these 2 becoming world champion?

WWE likes to believe that they never make mistakes. That one little slight out of context should be all it takes to sink a wrestlers career. WWE never forgives or forgets. They always act as if wrestler failed them.

The issue I had with that documentary they completely glossed over the frustrations Bray Wyatt had with creative when documentaries get made don't play loose with the facts always stick with the facts

Thank fuck someone actually said it. Dude was SO talented, yet done absolutely dirty by the Fed. Some of the angles and booking decisions were flat out embarrassing. Not just for him, but for the whole company. Hell, whole business. Edit - Just saw you called the Firehouse of Fun match fantastic... Not sure how I feel about your opinion now... 😂

Before watching the video, and just going off the title alone, I am going to say that Vince wanting to control Windham's vision for his characters is how he was failed. There was no Vince and no mention of Vince by name but from certain remarks made by the people in the documentary you could tell that Windham held some grudges toward the man. He did not like the Husky Harris gimmick (for obvious reasons), he disliked The Fiend being burned (from a character standpoint and how uncomfortable the suit was) and, most notably, hated how outside forces tried to dictate what The Fiend was and where it should go.

WWE has a habit of taking a sure thing and inexplicably destroy it.

Agreed 💯‼️

Someone gets over :" They got over on their own. WWE had nothing to do with it". Someone doesn't get over :"It's never the wrestler's fault. It is always WWE's fault". Wrestling fans are the pits.

And then they release him after they fucked up the whole the fiend layer in his career and he passed away in august 😢😢😢😢2023 of last year what a very 😢😢😢😢

Agreed with almost everything said

Wyatt was literally too original and creative for WWE. It's really sad that we didn't get to see how he would have been handled in this "new era"

WWE did let me down but if brey was still alive under triple H I think he would of fixed it just Vince total loss of what was great the fiend losing to Seth at hell in a cell then losing to Goldberg was just a huge disaster RIP windom 😢

Did WWE fail Bray Wyatt? Yes and No. Bray was a multi time world and Tag team champion, he main evented paper view after Paper view after paper view, sold alot of merchandise for WWE, and had the best 6 man tag i have EVER seen (The Wyatt Family vs The Shield at Elimination Chamber 2014). Now, he did get pinned to often, he did lose alot of his feuds, and he should have NEVER been released! I thought as well as many others thought, when he came back under the HHH regime. That it was going to be different, that Bray will FINALLY get what he deserves! but, when God had other plans. When I first heard I was Devastated. I will always remember Bray Wyatt. He will never be forgotten.

I miss Bray

They never even mentioned that Bray quit because of Vince. Pretty Documentary sure But MAN did they did him a diservice

Remember that time Seth Rollins went into the firefly funhouse and set it on fire…..ugh. They completely shat all over his character.

DAMN RIP BRAY WYATT GONE TOO SOON 🙏

Got buried by Cena, Orton, Braun, Goldberg, and Alexa. Even if you don’t consider some of these people to have “buried” him, still came close enough.

WWE documentary logic: Twist and manipulate history to make themselves seem innocent while showcasing RAW episodes and PLEs that show true history, invalidating their twisted history

Wwe wasn't going to highlight their booking of bray in the doc.

he was always a right person - wrong time kind of situation to me

I'm still a Bray fan. He was definitely misused and taken for granted by wwe.

Im not mad that Lesnar beat the streak. But if Bray did it would have made sense too... He was the next big supernatural character.

Yes definitely I think if Tony was legit AEW should've been the move, similar to Sting in TNA

First off, Rest In Peace to Bray Wyatt. A wonderful man, a loving father, and a creative mind only for his career to sadly end way too soon. If it wasn’t for Vince’s huge ego, Bray would’ve hit the peak to become the next Undertaker. But it’s another one of “John Cena always wins” trope that fans are always sick and tired of by using the meme-friendly #CenaWinsLOL. Cena didn’t need the win at WrestleMania 30, but alas, fans are not happy. No wonder why WrestleMania 30 hasn’t aged well in recent years. It wasn’t WWE that failed Bray and it’s not his fault, Vince just doesn’t care about pushing talent just to end up being the next victim to get buried by Big Match John Cena and that’s why the keyword for Bray Wyatt’s momentum is simple: 50/50 booking by Vince and his Creative cronies. I was so angry as a wrestling fan that I stopped watching WWE altogether after WrestleMania 30 after they butchered Bray Wyatt’s moment.

Maybe first time around. But the second stint was boring with Bray cutting promos for months and not wrestling. The Uncle Howdy storyline seemed to be all over the place and didn't make sense (they were enemies, they were friends etc). People started booing his promos and saying it was a mistake to bring him back. And remember this was under Triple H. Vince wasn't involved anymore. The "Pitch Black" Match was a disaster. I personally hated the "Firefly Funhouse" non-match at WM36. So his first run was great, but they didn't use him right. But his second run was awful, and if thar stuff was his idea, (Uncle Howdy, Pitch Black), it sucked, and a lot of fans praising him now were booing his promos in 2022.

The fiend character was done after that HIAC match with Seth. Ridiculous they even booked that match because if you dont wanna take the belt of seth but also dont want to beat the hot new character than just dont have the match...its simple. Then obviously being beat by Goldberg when he did get the title just put the nail init and the stuff with alexa i was never really a fan i thought it was too corny

So happy Vince is gone

Wwe constantly failed bray because they didn't have clear plans for the character. To me the fiend literally should have just been "you really pissed off bray so now you're dying" type of character. Which it seemed like they considered that at one point with the fiend not facing the miz because they didn't have any bad blood between them so no need to bring the fiend but I'm guessing because the fiend was such a draw and experience they wanted more of the fiend despite it not making sense. the fiend had no reason to fight goldberg but they wanted that entrance for the show. I think the only thing that saved finn balor from having to always be the demon is how much time it takes to get into that costume which that was another that should be only brought out for blood feuds rather than "ehh it's mania do the special look".

I completely missed his time in WWE after I took a 10 year break from watching it and honestly didn’t think much of him until that wm match with the insects projected onto the ring I liked the supernatural stuff and really liked this version of him but didn’t like the firefly match to weird for me sorry.

I KNEW this one was coming, all of a sudden he’s one of the best creative minds ever?? But u wouldn’t let him use that creativity on tv??? And u fed him to Goldberg???? HMMMM🤔

Indeed. And I must add: The increasingly expressive numbers in heart-related issues after a certain period of recent history are a concerning matter. He had a minor condition that didn't bothered before, took the magic serum, it began to bother, and now he isn't here. Coincidence? There are no coincidences. It's not a statement, it's a fact based on studies that can't be linked bellow. He isn't the first, neither the last. His legacy will last for as long as we can remember. He milked stones, no easy feat.

NGL, I really enjoyed Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family angle, didn't really like the whole Fun house thing tho.

The gimmick was not bad. It just needed tweaking. I thought he achieved that with "The Fiend " but then for some reason WWE did not go all out with gimmick .

I think Vince McMahon is a damn scumbag for treating this man the way that he's been treated

Sigh 😔 💐 🕊 RIP So Frustrating

I don’t think WWE failed Bray Wyatt. If they did, he wouldn’t have had an impact on fans like he did. If his career was a mess, no one would care about him. Could it have been better, sure, However, not a failure.

I approve

He should’ve never lost to Goldberg he should’ve been undefeated up to now

30 seconds in, and i said the same thing. Even during the show, i laughed and my girl goes "why u laughing, this is sad, AND the Fiend is terrifying!," "Well...yeah babe... but notice how they COMPLETELY skipped his feud with Seth, their Hell in Cell match, and the BAFFLING TO THIS DAY, loss to Goldberg???" 😂😂😂 If any psycho out there is somehow STILL a Vince fan, the ONE thing they must admit is that Vince is at least a complete moron for ruining the Fiend, aka the proverbial LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY-‐ and to do so, sooooo damn quickly

they didnt say he was difficult to work with.

Firefly funhouse sucked but the fiend was good and taker beating him was good he just had a lot of hits and misses thanks to creative

One of the greatest talents in years comes to WWE and look how they ruined it. It should've been Bray Wyatt to end the Undertakers Streak not Brock Lesner.

Bryatt Wyatt woulda fitted better during the Era.

Vince failed Bray. Bray did everything possible to give us something different. I’m a Goldberg guy. But he had his time 20 yrs before WWE bookers had him squash The Fiend, a character as nuanced as Mick Foley almost…Bray was the only real reason to watch WWE in the 20 teens. Everything else was just garbage. RIP
