He was too young. I never got to see many pf his matches besides some of the more popular ones that i've seen on Youtube. I don't know how good he was at wrestling but he was definitely entertaining and had talent in other places, plus he was a great guy who is liked by everyone backstage.
As a 38 year old wrestling fan with heart disease…the loss of Bray shook me to my core….My thoughts and prayers are with his family and everyone he meant anything to. If it weren't for Bray…I may have never watched wrestling again. Coincidentally…the day after hearing of Bray and Terry Funks passing…I lost my own grandfather…a wrestling fan💔 I can't think of a better bunch of guys keeping each other company on the other side 💙☮️
Dude this still doesn’t seem real…
Bray hit just as much as eddie Guerrero did. Eddie was my favourite wrestler when I was little now I'm adult beau was my favourite wrestler the greatest story teller the wwe has ever had. He will be really missed
even the cdc is admitting it jc …. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/myocarditis.html . the military is finding a marked increase in heart problems and those are young, adult, and most likely the most fit amongst us. the probability isnt that covid made a heart condition worse, its most likely that the vaccines made the heart condition appear or worsen.
#BRAYWYATTLIVESFOREVER
It is haunting the way that Wyndham and Jon both passed similarly
🙏🙏❤️❤️ gonna miss him
Cornette, if you're not gonna watch the program and actually get to know the character that bray wyatt was then shut your damn mouth about him because you obviously don't have a clue who he was
He wasn't very good
His promos were corny
He died from Huskyharrisittis
I like Jim Cornette but he’s just another talking head that needs to retire and move on from the wrestling industry
Is there a way to get Jim to react to the Teacher Lady promo?
Brian spent years saying he wasnt a fan of Bray and how his stuff doesn't make sense and how he isnt any good.
Now the dude passes suddenly Brian says he was how talented he was 🤷♂️
What a beautiful and touching thumbnail.
The truth is as long as you have big sized guys in the ring you will always have early deaths. The heart is stressed constantly and some bodies just can’t take it.
It’s amazing how many young people are just dropping dead anybody with a half a brain knows the cause
"I am the color red in a world full of black and white."
The first phase of the wyatt family shouldve been treated better. WWE set them up to lose every week. They shouldve had him start a streak like the undertaker!!!
Let Bo take the torch !!
It's funny how Cornette made many videos making fun of BW and his career and now hes making a video honoring him? Damn corny you like money
Hulkamania will live forever, brother.
Can't say we didn't see this one coming unfortunately
I wonder if HHH got COVID-19 an had a heart attack as well. Y'all should have held out as long as you could before taking that shit 😢 prayers to the family, and to my internet family as well
"nobody has issues with him in the business"
except you cornette, you went for the jugular and never spoke to the guy.
Cornettes a good guy and he teaches me how to not give F sometimes. However, he wanted to cry during the funk Podcast and when he speaks of Bray Wyatt passing, he sounds as guilty as he should sound because he didn’t even believe Bray Wyatt was even really sick tbh… https://youtube.com/shorts/gYbIU8HmWKE?si=hXDrLu89b7N_Ck-7
"I guess he had a heart attack out of nowhere and died"
Yeah that's been going around the last 3 years. Alot of professional athletes in their 20s and 30s dropping like flies.
No idea at all what could be the issue here. 💉
Btw people, make sure you get your 12th booster for the new super duper dangerous strain due out before the November elections!
The Undertaker handed this man the torch for a reason. Bray Wyatt was one of the most creative superstars I’ve seen in all of my years.. He had the mic skills always drew the crowds attention What other wrestler can you name off the top of your head that had so much fandom as this guy With the creativity of his last return with the bar codes and Easter eggs was unbelievable! And the pop he got when he returned at Extreme Rules!! I’ve never heard a louder crowd for a return in all my life of wrestling. Bray was my favorite wrestler since he came in with the Wyatt Family.. He was a major influence and inspiration to a lot of those wrestlers behind the scenes and the fans. Bray can never be replaced and WWE will never be the same. Thank you Bray Follow the buzzards Your fireflies will light up the sky forever in your memory
undertaker and kane did the horror stuff and the boogeyman.. even mankind.. idk what they are talking about? brays character originally was that of the main villian from cape fear.
I couldn’t understand why Jim didn’t like Brays character until he explained that he didn’t see the Eater Of Worlds arc . That’s the gimmick that opened our minds to the other 2 gimmicks because we knew what he was capable of
Very sad when such a young man with a family passes away! I'm about your age Jim and I loved wrestling back from the late 70s on! I first saw you on the World Class show from Texas that they started to run up here in New England! Couldn't stand you back when we actually thought everything was legitimate! You are pretty much the only contact I have with wrestling now as I find it unwatchable!! Thanks for the great times in the 80s and 90s, I really miss that brand of entertainment that's gone forever!
I met Bray around 2016 or so. The moment I approached he had such a huge smile on his face. He talked to me about traveling with The Wyatt Family and how they were like brothers to him. You could tell by that very minor interaction that he was such a genuine person. RIP Windham. Hope you and Jonathan are happy in Heaven.
Who the hell names thier kid WINDHAM?😂
Rest in peace Bray Wyatt
RIP BRAY WYATT AND ROMAN REIGNS MISSED YOU BRAY WYATT.👍
can’t imagine how his wife and kids are feeling, man.
Windam Rotunda was a god of wrestling and the WWE as a whole. Now we just have genaric acrobats, sctrong men, and plastic women.For jim Cornette to not understand or even move on from old days of wrestling proves he needs to be put out to pasture and put in a home, move on and embrace the new stuff old man or GTFO.
While wrestling today is an absolute joke ran by geeks, Bray and Matt Hardy were the last wrestlers to actually create a CHARACTER. Wyatt Family was one of the few reasons I still watched WWE around 2013-2015, Bray was a good guy in a wrong era. R.I.P. to him and Luke Harper. Thanks for the memories.
The reason so many are popping pills is that unlike any other 'Sport' unless they are one of the protected top earners they never get a chance to heal in my opinion. They are basically worked to destruction and it seems that the only get an outside ring job if there is a chance of a court case.
I’m grateful for the time with you 36 is too damn young my heart goes JoJo and their children.
"He was trying to mix wrestling with horror and science fiction. No one has ever done that before."
Uh …..
That was cool hearing the list of NXT teammates he came up with and see where they’re all at now
Should have gotten an extra booster
I'm an AE kid who stopped watching in 2006, and tuned in briefly in 2013, and the reason I stuck around was mainly because of Bray and his work. Talented and captivating, and regardless of all the hate he got from this channel at times, he was always talented and good at his job. Very good at his job. And he captured hearts and people who knew him personally say he was a great guy, which is easy to see.
May he rest in peace ;_;
Still strange to me WWE chose "Husky Harris" over Windman Rotunda. He could still do the swamp cult thing as Windham Rotunda. It's a little goofy for those who don't know their wrestling history, but so is a cult "leader" named after the cry of a sheep! And there's nothing that's better about "Husky Harris".
I blame the Vaccine…
Aint know way if that were the case then the shot definitely Sped up his "heart problems" think about every person young with a heart issue was vaccinated died…
Bray Wyatt Is Truly Forever Legendary, RIP To Him!!🙏💔😔🐐
He was a great talker but he couldnt work at all. At all. It was depressing watching him wrestle given his wild vocal talent.
Who died? Never heard of him. Was he a Wendy’s employee or did Jim let him bang his wife
