Bray Wyatt is a very unique talent and there is just something about him that draws viewers to him. Steve Austin on episode 316 (Gimme a HELL YEAH) of the Steve Austin Show went back and reviewed WrestleMania 32 from a couple weeks ago. During the episode, Steve said he thought that Bray Wyatt would be a great babyface rather than a heel (looks like he got his wish as Bray was feuding with the League of Nations before getting injured). Steve praised Bray Wyatt and thinks he has a lot of WWE Hall of Famer: The American Dream Dusty Rhodes in him.
Steve Austin compares Bray Wyatt to WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes:
“In 2016, the crowd is looking for the next guy who can talk people into the building. That voice that he has, his presence, his charisma, to me just says babyface. Now, again, I think he can be that everyman type [of] babyface because he’s not the best looking guy in the world. He’s not ugly. I mean, he just has a normal body. He’s a little bit heavyset. I mean, he’s like every man. But with that voice, I see so many Dusty [Rhodes] characteristics or qualities. He’s not going to be Dusty, no one ever will, but I see big money in the kid” (Source: Steve Austin Show. H/t Wrestinginc).
Interesting comparison for sure. Pretty high praise from Steve Austin to compare him to Dusty Rhodes. I agree with Steve that he should be a babyface because people just want to cheer for Bray Wyatt when he is on the screen. It is a shame that Bray recently got injured because I think he was due for some big things!
Would love to hear other peoples thought’s on Steve’s comparison and who Bray Wyatt reminds you of from the past. Leave us a comment below and tell us what you think!
Bray is awesome clear poor booking for him. Would of rather seen him fight brock at mania.
Wyatts v shield was the best angle he has been in. Personally if anybody was going to break the streak I thought Bray could have used the Rub. Brock doesnt need anything to get him over.
