The wrestling industry is not just about wrestling; storytelling plays a big part in it too. From The Bloodline storyline to Daniel Bryan’s rise, some unsung heroes have left a significant impact. Bray Wyatt is one such figure who will always be remembered for his creativity and charisma.
Bray underwent a major transformation from Husky Harris of Nexus to Bray Wyatt, the leader of The Wyatt Family. Behind all these changes were his creative heart and promo skills. Remember his “Speaking From The Heart” promo? That was just the tip of the iceberg, as the internet is celebrating his genius as an amazing storyteller, with one of his iconic promos resurfacing.
The Man in the Woods Promo of Bray Wyatt will always be special
Down the line, Bray Wyatt generated some of the most iconic promos, though some go unnoticed. One that stands out is “The Man in the Woods,” which holds a special place among fans. And what better day than Halloween to share a story? Bray Wyatt shared one such story that still gives fans goosebumps.
In this tale, Bray recounts growing up in Louisiana, where Abigail warned him about a sinister figure in the woods. One day, he encounters a towering, pale creature with yellow eyes dragging an alligator. Despite his fear, Bray approaches, only for the creature to return his lost slingshot. Fleeing back to Abigail, he confesses his encounter, and she reveals the chilling truth: Bray himself is the man in the woods.
Few WWE Stars can match Bray Wyatt’s aura
One thing that made Bray different from all the other stars was his commitment to his character and his aura. In terms of building something, Bray was more creative than ever. Just consider something as horrifying and creative as The Fiend or the host of Firefly Fun House; Wyatt was a genius, and very few legends or stars come close to him.
From The Rock to Ric Flair, even HBK, all excelled in various aspects of wrestling, but when it comes to characters, almost no one came close. Though he is resting in peace, all we have are these pieces and bits to continue his legacy.
Why is Man in the Woods so relevant?
A breeze from the past, this 2015 promo is from the time when Bray Wyatt was just starting to develop the character of the Eater of Worlds. It was the peak of the PG-13 era, and fans had little idea what to expect from Windham Lawrence Rotunda’s new persona.
For a long time, people treated Bray’s character as an homage to The Undertaker, but the darkness he possessed was much different from anything The Undertaker ever did. Bray Wyatt had that glare, which made every word valuable.
At the dawn of the “Wyatt Sicks” era, these memories from the past are giving fans goosebumps. Fans are practically cherishing moments like this. Whatever Bray did, on and off the ring, for his character, was nothing short of pure cinema. He will definitely be remembered as one of the best storytellers in the business, with Windham Lawrence Rotunda as the man behind the character of Bray Wyatt. May his soul rest in peace.
