Hello, and welcome to an immemorial podcast for Bray Wyatt. There's been no announcement yet in terms of WWE's plans for a tribute show.

We expect that to happen. It would be the correct thing to do in my personal opinion. It would feel incredibly insensitive to preview smack down when it really should feel like a Bray Wyatt tribute show.

Overnight, we got the news directly from Triple H on X slash Twitter that Bray Wyatt has passed away.

He had suffered from a health issue that had been undisclosed just presumably just ahead of WrestleMania up until the last few weeks when Fightful Select reported,

like really tragically in retrospect that he had overcame it or he was doing a lot better. There were hopes that he could be cleared to make an in-ring return.

He apparently contracted COVID. At some point earlier in this year, he struggled with it, exacerbated a pre-existing heart issue.

He suffered a heart attack yesterday and passed away, so we thought even if there was a smack down to preview, no one's ready to watch regular canonical WWE programming, so we expect a tribute show and it would be the right thing to do.

In light of everything, we thought it would be the best idea to pay tribute to Bray Wyatt's career. We're going to go through the high points, imminently.

We are also going to say that there were lows and it would be completely disingenuous to say that there were no low points, especially if you are a regular listener of this podcast.

We don't want to insult your intelligence, we don't want to grift, we don't want to just say, you know, Bray Wyatt was, you know, had this incredibly illustrious career.

There were several high points which we will get into, but it's, I think it would be more incentive to just pretend otherwise.

Hamlet myself, we've said for several years of our podcast in Korea, we're not the biggest fans of supernatural wrestling, but we will here celebrate the high points of Bray Wyatt uneven but peaked very high at WWE Korea.

Is that alright?

Yeah, we never didn't qualify, did we? The people that liked Bray Wyatt's stuff, loved it, adored it.

Well, that's what I was going to say, you know, that connection was like undeniable.

Well, this is the thing, myself and Hamlet, if you've listened to us for the last several years, that we've been incredibly fortunate enough.

We should as well mention Jesus that we are like harbroken for the man's loved ones and the tributes of porting by all accounts, just a tremendous passionate creative guy who was absolutely beloved within wrestling and within his family unit and we send our most sincere condolences to those.

We're in it, don't we? It's 36, 36 he had children and you just, we can speak to that experience directly and how that would even resonate.

You can't register it. It's just, it's that like, that is absolutely tragic. There was a point where I think tragedy was so attached to wrestling that everybody became numb to it and it's something I realized was that the, and this is a, you know, a good thing all of that.

The number of wrestlers where you would hear where you would have to say tragedy or there would be a yet another story of a wrestler in the 30s passing away that has thankfully dropped off to suggest that like if the passage of time has helped and the industry maybe has changed its ways somewhat from the like they're eighties and the night isn't the excess and things like that.

And then a story like this comes along and reminds you that it doesn't even need to be related yet like he's had this job this incredibly like remarkable and weird and difficult job.

But then he passes away in tragic circumstances like this and it's a thirty-six year old dad.
