Brian Gerwitz Discusses Bray Wyatt’s Impact On Wrestling, & More

Last week, Windham Rotunda, better known as Bray Wyatt, tragically passed away at the age of 36 due to a heart attack.

Recently in conversation with Steve Fall on “The Ten Count” podcast, Brian Gewirtz reflected on Wyatt’s passing, his impact on the professional wrestling industry, his ability to come up with never-seen-before ideas and bringing them to life, and more. He said,

“I likened it to this. Imagine 1920s basketball where they’re all throwing it through a peach basket and doing all those old-timey moves and everything, and then LeBron [James] shows up. And you’re like, ‘I can’t even compartmentalize what this is. Yes, we’re technically playing the same sport, but this person is on a completely different level than anything we’ve ever witnessed before.’ And that was Bray Wyatt.”

He continued, “Here comes Bray doing stuff that had never been seen before, and it’s all coming out of his brain. The promos — the first time you saw Firefly Fun House, my brain was like, ‘What is this? This is insane. It’s hypnotic.’ When he’s doing the dance and the song, the Vince [McMahon] puppet, and the match with [John] Cena at the COVID WrestleMania, all that stuff, it was truly mind-bending, and that all comes from Bray.”
