So as I just said today I'm going to be talking about the one and only Bray Wyatt, I'm going to be analysing he's career so far and my prediction's for the future mixed with of course, personal opinions.
So let's go back a little; Bray (Windham Lawrence Rotunda) was born on May 23 1987 making him 27 years old, he's from Brooksville Florida and has been working with the WWE since 2009. He's also a third generation superstar, He's father being Mark Rotunda and he's grandfather being Blackjack Mulligan. He's uncles Kendall and Barry Windham were also professional wrestlers. Rotunda is happily married and has two daughters. In 2005 Bray attended Hernando high school where he won a state wrestling championship at 275 pounds, also in high school he played football as a defensive tackle and guard. He earned a football scholarship to Troy University where he played collegiate football for two years.
Rotunda debuted in FCW  (Florida championship wrestling) were he picked up a victory using the name Alex Rotundo,  he later changed he's name to Duke Rotundo (witch he was mainly known as in FCW) and in June that year he began teaming with he's brother Bo (Bo Dallas( Taylor Rotunda)). The two went on to be a successful in the tag division over in FCW picking up the FCW tag team titles in July on the 23rd holding them until November 19th 2009 (at this time he was only 23)
A lot of people mainly know Bray for he's next step in career. When he debuted as Bray Wyatt the crowd had not forgotten Husky Harris. On June 1st, 2010 Rotunda was announced as a competitor for season two of WWE NXT under the ring name Husky Harris, with Cody Rhodes as he's mentor/pro. He made he's debut on NXT in a tag team match with Cody Rhodes where he faced the team of MVP and he's rookie Percy Watson, witch they lost. After a pretty bad start with Cody Rhodes in NXT Harries turnt heel after attacking a backstage interviewer, former WWE wrestler, announcer and commentator Matt Striker on the June 22nd episode. Harries was ranked number 7 out of the 8 competitors after a lose against MVP and the following week just about got away without being eliminated being ranked number 6. On August 9 the rookies competed in six man tag team competition on Monday night RAW where Husky's team picked up the win, however lost there rematch the following night on NXT. After he's elimination he and Cody Rhodes attacked Rookie Kava resulting in a Brawl involving WWE superstars. Harris was next seen at the finale of NXT season two with the other eliminated rookies who then attacked the winner Kaval.

Harris, whilst in NXT continued to  wrestle for FCW and after he's elimination he began a feud with Percy Watson after attacking him while they were tag team partners, the feud ended with Harris on top after he beat  him in a lumberjack match in October 2010. We then saw him at the Hell in a cell PPV where him and Michael McGillicutty interfered in a match up between John Cena and Wade Barrett forcing Cena to join Barrett's faction the Nexus. Over the next thew weeks the pair continued to interfere with Cena's matches, they lost there matches that was to give them the opportunity to be apart of Nexus however was back the following week on RAW as part f the faction. In January 2011 CM Punk took over Nexus and put each member in an initiation, Harries passed he's and was allowed to stay alongside McGillicutty and David Otunga. Three weeks later after him and McGillicutty lost a tag team match Orton attacked them both as revenge for costing him the WWE championship and Harris was written off of TV due to a punt kick.
After all that Harris returned to FCW and debuted a new character in March 2011, that of the Hockey mask wearing Axel Mulligar but the character never made on FCW TV and he went back to Husky Harris.Over in FCW he continued working on he's skills. He became involved in a feud with brother Bo, he also won a triple threat match between Ambrose and Sandow to earn himself a shot at the FCW championship but lost against Kruger now known as Adam Rose.
In April 2012 Rotunda debuted a new character; Bray Wyatt. When WWE turned FCW into NXT Wyatt debuted on the of the rebooted WWE NXT and got a win over Aiden English in a singles match.In July he suffered a torn pectoral muscle and needed surgery, despite the injury he continued to appear on NXT an d created the faction "The Wyatt family" recruiting Luke Harper and Erick Rowan who later became NXT tag team champions. He's first match after he's return was a good one for him win he picked up the win against Yoshi. Wyatt suffered he's first lose against Bo Dallas. From the May 7th episode of RAW they began showing vignettes promoting the up coming debut of The Wyatt Family.On July 8th they made there anticipated debut attacking Kane on RAW. They continued there assault on Kane and kept telling him to "Follow the buzzards".  From then on the Wyatt family have had great success in the WWE, feuding with the lights of Daniel Bryan,Kane, CM Punk, the Shield , and most recently John Cena and Chris Jericho and Bray has been a stand out performer. He's grown so much over the past year and I can only see more success. He's match at Royal Rumble this year against Daniel Bryan has been considered one of the best matches of the year and he's 6 man tag team match at this years Elimination chamber against the shield has been named match of the year several times, including on the WWE website. Other amazing matches include the 3 on 2 handicap match at last years Survival series. Bray has so far in one year feuded with some of the top starts in WWE something I'm sure everyone would never of guessed 4 years ago would happen. He's biggest feud being with John Cena. Personally I did't get into it that much, mainly because I can never get into a Cena feud, but it for sure was Bray Wyatt who kept me watching. There matches were pretty good but there last man standing match was another fave match of the year so far. Now Bray is yet to hold a championship in WWE but no one seems to bother about that. He has stayed relevant and intresting since day one as Bray Wyatt. Feuding with top veterans and getting serious pop from the crowd. He has showed eminence in ring skills and it's scary to think that he's only 27! He has so much more time to grow and if were already getting this level of work from him just imagine what he going to be giving us in 10 years time! But there is something about Bray that has stood out the most over the year and that's he's mic skills. Bray hasmic skills that you just cant teach someone, you either have it or you don't, simple. When he speaks your captivated, you believe every word he says and he leaves you wanting more. The sadistic laugh, the haunting voice, the look in he's eyes, it's a talent we don't get to see often and he's style is something fresh but at the same time traditional. You never get bored of hearing him speak, every promo he delivers you know is going to be amazing and is going to blow your mind. Trust me he still manages to do so for me! And it's the same in the ring. Your always surprised with what he does. He's size and speed don't match and your left amazed. You just know he has so much more to give and show. When he's in the ring wrestling he stays in character. There's not a moment where he bores you or turns into someone else, no matter what, weather it be an interview or a backstage segment, attack or match one on one or tag team he's always Bray Wyatt and in real life he couldn't be any more different than him and that's what makes a good WWE superstar. He makes you believe everything. The WWE for sure have a future hall of famer and serious talent with Bray Wyatt. The future looks very bright for Mr Bray Wyatt.
