So, I wanted to dig into this whole Bray Wyatt in Nexus thing. You know, I always found that whole storyline pretty wild, so I decided to give it a go and see what I could uncover about how that all went down.
First off, I started by watching some of his old matches from back in the day. I watched a bunch of clips, especially focusing on that Ring of Fire match against Kane at SummerSlam. Man, that was a crazy one! It was like stepping back in time, seeing him make his debut on the main roster like that. Seeing Bray Wyatt, or Husky Harris as he was known back then, in his early days was a real trip.
Then, I started digging into the history of the Nexus. From what I gathered, Bray Wyatt joined the group in 2010. I watched some of the old shows where he was part of the group, and it was pretty intense. They were all about this backwoods cult vibe, and Wyatt’s character was super creepy, kinda like Charles Manson meets a wrestler. It was wild to see how different he was then compared to later in his career.
After that, I tried to piece together what happened with the group and its members. It’s kind of sad, actually. I read that only a few of them are still wrestling in WWE, like Rowan, Strowman, and Orton. Some, like Bryan, went to AEW in 2021. And then there’s the really sad news about Harper, who passed away in 2020, and Bray Wyatt himself, who died last year. It’s crazy to think about how much has changed since those Nexus days.
I also looked into the whole concept behind the Wyatt Family. Their gimmick was based on this backwoods cult, and Bray Wyatt’s character drew comparisons to some pretty infamous figures, like Charles Manson. It was a dark and twisted storyline, that’s for sure.
What I learned from all this
- Husky Harris to Bray Wyatt: I watched him transition from Husky Harris in Nexus to Bray Wyatt. It was like watching two different people.
- The Nexus Days: I saw how intense and chaotic those Nexus days were. They were all about causing trouble and making a statement.
- The Wyatt Family Gimmick: I learned about the creepy, cult-like vibe of the Wyatt Family. It was dark and fascinating at the same time.
- Sad News: I found out about the passing of some former members, which was a real downer. It made me appreciate their contributions to wrestling even more.
Overall, it was a wild ride looking into Bray Wyatt’s time in Nexus and beyond. It’s a mix of nostalgia, excitement, and a bit of sadness, but it was definitely worth it. It made me appreciate the complexity and evolution of his character even more.
