What are your favourite memories of Bray Wyatt? Let us know in the comments below
Rip Windham Lawrence Rotunda, you will be missed
i got none
My favorite moment is when he came out and was himself. When he expressed how grateful he was for us, the WWE universe to be there for him in his time of need. He spoke from the heart which sometimes wrestlers don't get to do.
bray wyatt vs daniel bryan classics battles!
I was in Toronto for Summerslam 2019 debut of The Fiend, ELECTRIC moment. His rivalry with the Shield, the point and Roman spear, winning the title at Elimination Chamber, Cena at XXX and Taker at 31; all tremendous stuff
"Unfortunately that's part of getting older". Yeah, Big Show summed it up in one sentence, you're gonna lose so many people and all you'll have left of them are memories. So cherish the moments now, before you wish you had them again. RIP Bray Wyatt. 😢
I think in Rocky 6 (Rocky Balboa) Stallone says something like that: “The older I get, the more people I lose.” Maybe not verbatim. But he was talking about Adrian’s death.
He was 36 way to young! Sad 😢
He was 36 years old are way to young to die
Unfortunate part of getting older? He was only 36!
@@AggravatedMan365he was talking about himself
I really feel for Paul, everyone wants his take and I respect his strength throughout all this
Yep😢
dam still can't believe it devastating tonight is going to be so emotional
One of the biggest wrestlers, with the softest heart! Truly a sad month for wrestlers, their families, and the fans.
Nobody gives a shit what he has to say about brays death ,dafuq are u talking about
Its sound so weird calling him by his real name..just call Him big show
Windham Rotunda, Bray Wyatt, will go down as one of the most creative minds this industry has ever seen. He dared to push boundaries and explore areas of pro-wrestling where others dared not. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and colleagues at this time. RIP
Only 36 :'(
how nice of you to be able to repeat what has already been said with your fake sympathy
@@evilswissywhatever you say punk
This comes off like a newsletter paragraph as opposed to genuine sympathy 😂
@@user-jv4hd7gc7byour comment comes off as a pathetic attempt at some clout over a dead man. Pretty sad how pathetic you trolls have become in the last decade. Your insults are elementary at best.😂
Paul's reaction in feeling numb is spot on. Utter shock and disbelief... my condolences to to the fans and his family.
so much respect to Paul for gathering the courage to speak on this. absolutely fucking horrible. RIP to Bray
He's also got a lot of friends in AEW.
@@shadesofblack89One of those friends/brothers was able to be at Smackdown tonight.
I still remember how emotional Big Show was during Eddie Guerrero’s tribute. For them its like losing a member of their family. RIP Bray and Terry
@@IMGBrk96 I remember that like it was yesterday. I lost a family member around the same time of Eddie's passing, when his news broke it was too much to absorb. The look of despair on everyone during the tribute was exactly how I felt. R I P
Big Show Paul Wight has seen a lot of them come and go over the years. You can hear the pain in his voice. Rest in Peace Bray.
Big show was close with Rick rude, roddy piper, dusty Rhodes, big boss man, curt henning, Owen hart, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, bam bam bigelow, randy savage, Scott hall and now bray Wyatt. RIP to all
@@chrispimentel7817 Yes, he is a gentle giant and this sort of thing hurts him. He is close to a lot of wrestlers in the industry for sure.
I’m so heartbroken. Never felt this way over a death of someone I don’t personally know. Rest Well, Windham.
Why does it hurt so much?
Brays death feels like Eddie’s
I have with Kobe 😢
For me was Eddie, and what makes it worse is that he died on my birthday (turned 21 at the time) 🫤
This feeling you have is how us fans felt when Eddie Guerrero died....whenever a legend dies before his prime it always hits home.
It felt like we had yet to see his finest moment. RIP Bray Wyatt
What's really sad is when he was healthy he had a chance at a big push but because Vince McMahon never saw him as a top athlete, we never got what we deserved his fans. So always remember to thank Vince McMahon for f****** us out of some great memories.
@@JesusIsComingSoon316The promo that really shook me the most from him was « the man in the woods» one. It made me tell to myself how amazing of a storyteller and actual good actor he was and it was at the very beginning of his Bray Wyatt persona. It also kinda hinted at the fiend somehow which I found even more amazing when the character was actually created because he made it look like it was all planned since the very beginning. Everything seemed connected. Gave me such goosebumps. He will be missed. RIP Legend.
An artist, who will never get to paint his greatest masterpiece.
I truly felt like it should've been him to beat Roman at next year's WrestleMania.
@@anthonygregory6797 let's be honest here though, he wasn't a top athlete he was always in bad shape and he wasn't great in ring either. Sure he was creative but his characters were cringe ultimately and drove fans away. They weren't drawing money and that is number 1 in a publicly traded enterprise. Honestly find it really funny seeing all these fake fans now praise him but just a few months ago the same people were wanting him back off TV. lol
Bray had more talent and charisma in his pinky fingers than 95% of the people active today. I absolutely loved Bray's character work. He had the entire package needed to be a superstar - the look, mic skills, charisma, wrestling ability, psychology. And he was humble despite all his talent and being brought up as a member of wrestling royalty. RIP 💔
You're 100% right, too bad 'headmaster' didn't see Bray as high as Rollins, Orton, Reigns etc. RIP Bray & Brodie
@@BalgaronTVnot hating on the person , but I'm sorry the fiend gimmick sucked and put down everyone he worked with. When he came back and I thought he was gonna just be himself , I thought that was great stuff.
@@Chozin1nah
@@Chozin1Fiend Was His Best Work To Me. He Embodied Horror & Mystery. Only Reason You Say That Is Because Of That Shitty Booked Hell In A Cell That Killed The Character Forever After That Blunder. That Was Not On Bray WWE F*d That Up
This isn’t the time to a) blanket criticise other wrestlers who are grieving the loss of their friend right now because you don’t think they’re as charismatic as Wyatt, or b) talk about how much you dislike Wyatt’s character.
When he said that losing friends is unfortunately part of getting older, I felt it. Its the sad reality that we all start to face once we get to a certain age.
Man you said a mouthful. I’m 52 and I’m starting to see this very thing. Friends of friends lossing family members and have lost both my dad and stepdad already. Uncles not much older me, it can be saddening.
Agreed. Same here.
He wasn't my favorite wrestler but he's the most creative wrestler I've seen considering he rebuilt himself 3 times and all 3 worked. R.I.P Bray Wyatt. Follow the Buzzards
That's pretty much the take I've seen most people take. Cause sure, some of his matches weren't the best, but the creative mind he had made him one of the most unique wrestlers ever.
@@BawlsMahoneyhe was cringe let's be honest here
@@Igga_killeryou’re so wrong
@@Igga_killerI’ve never heard anyone call him cringe in 9 years
@@T.G-HLL Honestly his fiend gimmick was ultra cringe and i find it funny how now everyones faking showing love to him but the same people were saying he shouldnt have come back and he had lost it. You didnt like him then dont act like you do now
Bray made grown men mark out over a peewees playhouse demon. The man deserves to be inducted in the hall of fame this year.
He will be . Guarantee he headlines it
First Terry Funk then a day later, Bray Wyatt. When Bray died at the age of 36, I was shocked, speechless, saddened, and denial beyond words. Bray’s death is one of the saddest deaths in pro wrestling history including Eddie Guerrero’s, Brodie Lee’s and Owen Hart’s deaths. Bray was incredibly creative in the ring including his humor. Bray was an amazing man in and out of the ring. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go to his family and friends. He’s got the whole world in his hands. #BrayWyatt #RIP #WWE
Not to forget, Abe Jacobs. Who passed away on August 21. Part of NWA, during the golden age of wrestling. Ric Flair's first opponent during his debut in 1974 and helped Ric achieve greater success.
This.
Show is the perfect example of a big bad ass dude who is never afraid to show his feeling and I wish him and all of Brays friends all the best through this tough moment
When Paul Wight cries, I felt his pain.
Terry Funk's passing was sad but when Bray Wyatt passed away unexpectedly days later, I felt like someone mugged me and stole my heart out of nowhere.
RIP Windham Rotunda. My condolences are to JoJo, Windham's children and The Rotunda Family. 😢
Well no wrestler died today luckily 2 days in a row legends dying hard to take.
Because 79 includes flowers and retirement. I feel we honestly only scratched the surface on his brilliance, and we all feel incredibly robbed. Nothing is promised, but it still feels unfair.
@@BaetoeBaskinsif you want to point fingers at who robbed us of such great memories we could have had before his passing thin point the finger of Vince McMahon. People have come out and even said the Vince McMahon never saw Bray as a top guy and that's why he never got the pushy deserved. Now with that being said that isn't to say that we didn't have some of the greatest memories of his matches and pushes when he was in the Wyatt family, or even as the Fiend.
My first memory of him was when he appeared on NXT as Husky Harris...
@@anthonygregory6797 I feel where you're coming from but I'm not processing his passing that way. Im grateful for what we got, and thankful he was able to tell the story of Bray despite navigating around hurdles and roadblocks. I mean I feel robbed because he was only 36 years old and nobody should pass with so much life left to give. Idc if he never wrestled again and just wanted to be a stay at home dad, it still feels wrong to lose a person that early. It hits close for me because like many others, my life felt genuinely enriched because of the Bray character he was able to convey for all fans to enjoy.
@@anthonygregory6797The man was a former WWE Champion, 2x Universal Champion, Raw Tag Team Champion (Matt Hardy), Smackdown Tag Team Champion (Randy Orton/Luke Harper), and the 2019 WWE Wrestler of the Year. He also went into WrestleMania as the WWE Champion and faced the Undertaker and John Cena twice at WrestleMania.
You can tell Paul is such a great dude who both touches and is touched by every person he interacts with in the industry.
Blessings to Paul. Dude has such a big heart and always wears it on his sleeve.
God .. I'm getting flash back of Show crying at the Eddie tribute show. 😢😢
It's soo messed up😭
Oh, f*** 😥😢🤧
Big man, big heart. Rest in peace, Bray.
Paul is such a gentleman. I feel for the whole wrestling community at this time
Paul may lost some pounds from working out. but hell always be the gentle giant who will shed many tears for others and those who passed away during his life, big show will always be the man. RIP Bray wyatt
I can feel him. Feel his emotions. That glassy look in the distance as he averted his eyes away from the reporter and then turning his attention to the floor, his eyes piercing right through it. That look of utter despair and dejection. There are no words.
Look how strong Paul is @ 0:15 was about to crack into tears but held it together. A true professional and gentlemen.
RIP BRAY WYATT
My heart goes out to Paul, man. you could really see the hurt on his face.
One of the most common things I've heard repeated from Bray's friends is that they loved his laugh and felt that he truly valued them and made them feel appreciated. It takes a special type of person to touch so many lives in that way.
Getting older sucks. You lose everyone you love. Rest In Peace Windham! Great interview from the BIG show
I just wish more people see it that way & keep that with them everyday so they’ll appreciate people just a lil more
He was 36
Damn, all those reporters asking him that same damn question is quite breaking to see. The big dude is trying to hold his tears every time
Paul is one of the most genuine dudes in the business. Wears his heart of his sleeve. RIP Bray a true visionary of the game, he did things that no one else could think of. Things no one else would even dare to try and he made it all work seamlessly. The world lost one of its best.
You can really tell that Paul is really affected. Even when the topic was changed, he looks like he's really shaken up by all this, and with great reason. Windham(Bray)'s passing has shocked the wrestling world. Friends, family, co-workers, even the fans.
Paul is by every definition the gentle giant, upon seeing him he’s this big and intimidating tower of a man. But then you hear him speak, every word he says just sounds so polite and genuine. I’ve seen clips of him back stage and he strikes me as being the older supportive brother to everyone in the locker room. He’s one of if not the nicest character you will ever meet. You can tell he cares whenever his colleagues/friends pass, especially as tragic and sudden as this was. RIP Windham Rotunda
Big show is a man who has a heart bigger than his Body. he is a good man with a lot of love for those he has worked with as he sees them as family. when Eddie Guerrero passed he cried and here many years later he again sheds tears for his fallen comrade Bray Wyatt. God Speed Bray, you will be missed.
Paul has always been a soft giant, seeing him cry really touches me and shows how much he cares for his colleagues and friends.
Bray, or Windham, I would personally say to be one of if not, the best and most creative wrestler since his debut of Bray Wyatt. He, amongst the few during WWE's PG era which also include Luke Harper or Brodie Lee, were the ones that made wrestling fun again. Rest in peace sir, I am pretty sure you've had your own demons to face during all of these times and now you finally get to rest legend.
No wrestling death has hit me harder than this. I don't know what it is. This man was just amazing and entertaining. Creative and skilled on the mic. One of the best to ever do it. Rest In Paradise.
Same. I haven't even watched WWE for 2 years.
What makes it even sadder that he was only 36 ( same age as I am) and was on his way back. It felt like I lost an good friend or classmate. 😢💔
First Brodie Lee and now Bray Wyatt. Both of these deaths hurt me bad for 2 individuals I’ve never met. But seeing pictures of them with their family showcases how amazing these men were. RIP to both. Brodie we miss you. Bray we will miss you! 💔
Rip the wayat's
I can only imagine how Erick Rowan and Braun feel right now.
Big Show has always had such a big heart and has never been afraid to show his emotions. I have so much respect for this man... RIP Bray
Paul is such a great guy with a huge heart! So sorry for your loss..
Bray was the only wrestler that I was excited for in the last decade. I don’t even watch wrestling anymore. When I think back to all the wrestlers, he’s the one that stood out.
Whether big show played a good guy or a bad guy in real life He has a huge heart rest In peace, Bray Wyatt.😢
Paul is such a teddy bear. Reminds me of myself. An absolute unit but very emotional. RIP Windham
He was obviously not completely "there", you know? 😔
My condolences to Paul.
I remember when Jon passed away how difficult it was. Windham spoke about how he was missing a brother. I feel the same about Jon, and now Windham. I feel like I lost two brothers just by seeing their personalities in and out of the ring just by emotional connection. This is so tough to comprehend and is a travesty to the nth degree!
Gone way too soon. RIP Bray.
Paul Wight is a wonderful guy. You can see how much he cares. Ultra versatile and a legend. RIP Windham
It feels like a dream, doesn’t feel real, losing bray. 36 years young. It hurts.
I didn’t know him personally I saw him wrestle a few times live 2014-15 live at O2 arena in London, when the wyatt family was a group.
Wyatt was a special kind of guy, whose creative side he took a character he created, made it a reality, and brought it to life, not many wrestlers today can do that, as they usually have writers come up with personas for them, but he was one of the few who was able to do That. And we saw his story and characters evolve. Which was a good thing to see,
There won’t ever be anyone in WWE like bray wyatt. His creative mind was one of a kind.
We will all miss you bray, and we love you.
Again it’s like losing a brother, still feels unreal, like I wanna wake up now.
#ThankYouBray
always delivered no doubt
Incredibly said.
Sabes que las cosas están graves cuando ves al atleta más grande del mundo así. Ni él puede con esta noticia, es increíble...
Bueno, aunque Show siempre ha sido muy emocional y nunca ha demostrado miedo de demostrar sus sentimientos.
Bray has left a definitive impact, his creative mind, promos, character work etc, passion, he was a gift to the wrestling world. In spite of his untimely death I seek to honour his life’s work.
The man was a bonafide artist; someone who’s left a profound yet poignant mark on the wrestling world. His work will be studied for generations to come. A true inspiration indeed. We should all be proud of Bray. RIP..
Paul is such a star character. Truly hope I meet him some day. Always been my favourite. Extremely well and delicately put.
Wonderful interview from the big show. RIP Bray Wyatt
Words cannot describe how unfortunate Bray Wyatt’s sudden death shocked the entire WWE Universe. His legacy has the whole world in his hands.
Windham was way too young, and I was crushed when I saw the news about his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans. 😭💔
You a wrestling fan sassykaren? Yes I'm still stunned by this news he is the same age as me that's terrible to hear this guy passed away
@@guitarjoe4580 I used to be a huge wrestling fan, but now I don’t watch it as much.
@@sassykaren7587
Oh ok you knew who bray wyatt was I remember when he started the wyatt family ten years ago at summer slam
@@guitarjoe4580 yeah I was watching wrestling a lot more then than I do now. I stopped watching it back when Vince let Bray go from the company.
@@sassykaren7587
Oh wow you most definitely were a wyatt fan I still watch it they say triple h is running things from what I heard
Dude was loved by literally everyone behind the scenes too thats his true legacy
Rip bray you touched way more souls then you could imagine. This one hurts
It can make you cry knowing it existed and becomes the same thing that makes you cry know they are now gone. Moments like this helps us get from one place to a better one. Sleep well bray 😢
Seems like every interviewer is just asking Paul the most uncomfortable question. It hasn't even being 24 hours yet. Let him mourn in peace.
yh thats what i was thinking. Give everyone their space to mourn and dont ask so soon after the news broke
That first question was fine, but it was really awkward to then just skip to the next topic. He should've left it at that
its such a shame. a lot of the comments made about him before and even after is passing are beyond foul. people would never endingly cry abt the la knight match and the canceled wrestlemania match sending so much hatred, all when the man was battling this. rip 🙏
hes a gentle giant, with a very big heart, he always gets emotional and cries. he has no problem showing his feelings honestly, that's admirable. RIP Windham
Geezus christ leave him alone its barely been one day
"just doing my job"
Lenda Bray Wyatt Sentimentos muito sua falta descanse Em Paz Lenda 😥
When you see a big man like Paul Wight crying about this you know that Windham Rotunda touched a lot of lives.
I feel like I'm still in disbelief.
When I first heard it I was thinking this was just a bit, but with how serious everyone was when the news broke I guess that snapped it to reality.
RIP man. You were a damn good entertainer and from the sound of it a great guy too
RIP the goat bray to soon man
Damn, didn’t let the dude breath before asking the next question while he’s crying.
Paul is very emotional man. He is a gentle giant and a stand out guy.
This is something Nobody Ever expects Since he was soo young and We all thought He was gonna come back
I get it's an interview but Jesus don't ask the man about the loss of a friend on the spot like that. It just happened. Let people grieve. I get they're famous and in the spotlight and you want to get your story but they're people too.
Bray was awesome met him at an airport once sign something took some photos and got to shake his hand he truly loved and appreciates his fans
TOO SOON to be putting people on the spot with these questions
No
@@yitzyissacs Yes
Maybe you shouldn’t ask such a sensitive question and move on to the next question without showing some compassion next time. Extremely weird.
Bray passing away shocked and hurt everyone. He was every wrestler favorite wrestler for this generation. He had the total pack. Ring presence, great on the mic, awesome entrance, and his presence drew everyone to him. I didn't even know him but I miss him. R.I.P. to that great man.
Im the same age as Bray was. His death just told me to never take anything for granted. Rest In Paradise Bray Wyatt. Now the whole world is truly in your hands. :-(
What's embarrassing is that this "reporter" asked this question. All for the clicks. Dude should be ashamed of himself.
That's why wrestling journalists like these are the lowest of the lows. The dude's friend has just died. Let's set up a camera and a mic in this extremely vulnerable time for him
Let's get those clicks right boys?
i really think that they didnt need to ask that question to him so soon after the guy passed away. Let the people mourn and they will talk about their memories with Bray when they are ready to do so. Bit low if you ask me
You’re commenting and providing clicks for this video…..probably because you wanted to see Big Show’s response. That makes you part of the problem as well since you did want the journalist wanted
@@jrcrit8843 true but putting a camera in his face and asking him about it when it's so fresh is the bigger problem
@@Venemofthe888 he’s putting the camera in his face to get a reaction for views and traffic just like most networks and media. We contribute by watching, commenting, and getting it traction. There’s a cause and effect here. We enable ppl to do this by watching…..lastly Big Show didn’t have to sit there and interview with said camera in face.
Man paul has a heart of gold i wish i just can give him a hug
I met Bray in Dallas at Wrestlecon. Very nice guy that genuinely liked conversing with his fans. I didn't regret it then but now especially that $100 for each autograph and pic is very worth it (yes I know he gets a fee to appear and that's what the promoter charges not him)
What a HORRIBLE fucking Segway, Jesus Christ Inside the Ropes why would you do that in that way? Asking if he was comfortable and then asking that question should have definitely been last of at all. Lord..
You go from asking about a death of his friend to a ppv? What us wrong with you?
Paul has shown alot of class the past couple days..still doing his job and be professional and answering questions about bray.coukd have said no not now but he know bray was loved and fans want to hear his peers speak about him..respect and love to Paul.cant be an easy time for him
Paul always comes across as genuine in interviews, he seems like a great guy.
Gotta say, this is pretty poor taste less than 24hr of the terrible news.
Do you complain about the mainstream media doing the same thing after people of importance die?
@@wwemastaif they wanted it to be private then they wouldn’t of announced it or the reason it happened
Many channels are thinking of there views with bray's passing realy sick
@@realrobrose dude it's a sensitive question and people need to mourn and fully understand it themselves. Asking the question so soon after bray passed to someone who you can see is distressed about it along with the camera in their face is poor taste. I think when they are ready to talk about it is when you do a interview not like this. Its the decent thing to do
Damn it, every time Paul starts with the waterworks it bloody starts me off. Really hits home when someone that big cracks. RIP Bray, He'll forever have the whole world in his hands.
Paul seems like such a good dude
Paul, is DEFINITELY a Genuine guy. Not afraid to be real & very good to see him as always.
i always thought this channel would only upload video of interview from 4-5 years ago
R.I.P Bray
FOLLOW THE BUZZARDS
✨✨✨✨
Man you interviewers are ruthless. This is the second interview I’ve seen where they ask him about Brey. He’s barely even had time to process it and clearly isn’t in the best mood. Me personally I wouldn’t go there this soon.
The Big show a big man and has a huge heart!
Damn, man. Seeing the big man cry made me tear up. RIP
RIP Bray 😔 Right now we need to keep his family in our prayers.
It's hard to watch him break down.. he's trying so hard to keep it together. Much Respect to You.. 🙏 I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, may he rest in peace
I just hope they put bray in the hall of fame cuz what he was able to to do with his characters was truly creative without a doubt top tier characters 😔🥺
never take ur favorite wrestlers for granted 💔 Rip bray!, we have many more amazing superstars
Paul has always been a gentle giant. Sorry for this and all the losses of his friends in this tough business.
Show dnt age,good to see u again bro
I feel for you my man I feel sad about the news like that just hit me he's always be in our hearts!!! ❤
The way he says how it's part of getting older and going through years of losing friends. It's just tough. It made me think of the time he cried for Eddie, chris ect.. man it's sadd
It wasnt until I sent my mom the message "Bray Wyatt passed away" that I started to break down crying. RIP Windham, you left us too soon.
Met big show Paul was the kindest and most respectful guy you could ever hope to meet
Stopped watching wrestling 20 years ago
Still knew who bray Wyatt was he was big time
Truly sad
One thing I have always thought about Paul/Big Show, is how much of an emotional person he is. He just seems like a really big hearted guy.
Dame I just heard the news he was my favorite wrestler that's crazy he was the best I seen.
R.I.P Bray Wyatt!
show is such a friendly giant.
as was Bray, we love you brother!
RIP Windham Rotunda ❤❤
I was happy with my friends eating steak but when I saw the news I instantly dropped my phone and started crying harder than I ever can and RIP bray wyatt u were revolutionary 🥺😭😭😥💔💔 you will always be in my memory and u are in a better place now #flyhigher #RIPbraywyatt
