The wrestling community recently faced the heart-wrenching loss of one of its most iconic figures, Bray Wyatt. As tributes pour in from all corners, TJ Wilson’s heartfelt remembrance on the “Out of Character” podcast, hosted by Ryan Satin, stands out as a testament to the profound impact Bray Wyatt had on those around him.
In the episode, TJ Wilson, also known as Tyson Kidd, delves deep into his memories of Bray, painting a picture of a man whose influence extended far beyond the squared circle. Bray wasn’t just a phenomenal wrestler but an exceptional human being. As Wilson recalls, even in moments of anger or frustration, Bray could keep the locker room laughing. His humor, even when he was “salty,” was infectious.
Bray’s creativity was another facet that Wilson highlighted. It wasn’t just about crafting his own character; Bray was always eager to help others refine their personas and promos. Wilson shared a personal anecdote about how Bray approached him after an NXT promo, offering insights and guidance on improving his cadence and delivery. While seemingly small, such gestures showcased Bray’s commitment to elevating himself and everyone around him.
One of the most touching moments in the podcast was Wilson’s revelation that Bray had a key to his wrestling ring. Over the past year, Bray had been frequenting Wilson’s ring, honing his craft and sharing his passion. Wilson fondly remembered how Bray, with his infectious energy, made anyone he was talking to feel like the most important person in the world.
Beyond the wrestling anecdotes and memories, Wilson also touched upon a lesser-known aspect of Bray – his unique scent. With a chuckle, Wilson mentioned that Bray was the “best smelling wrestler” he knew, a light-hearted memory amidst the poignant tributes.
TJ Wilson’s tribute to Bray Wyatt on the “Out of Character” podcast is a beautiful reflection of the man behind the character. It’s a reminder that while Bray Wyatt’s in-ring persona was larger than life, the man himself was genuine, kind-hearted, and deeply cherished by those fortunate enough to know him.
