The story behind one of the most revered and mysterious characters in WWE history and the man himself, Windham Rotunda, has never been documented, until now.
I wasn't expecting this to be so heartbreaking. 36 is such a young age to die of a heart attack. You never know how much time you have left. RIP Bray Wyatt, and RIP Brodie Lee.
Just utterly heartbreaking to watch. Bray will never be replicated. One of the greatest wrestlers of all time, in addition to his astounding and creative imagination. I’m so happy that I got to watch his story unfold from start to finish over the last ten years. Just tragic he passed before the greatest storyline of his career. Thank you Windham. RIP 🕊️
“New Orleans….. we’re here” 💨🏮
What an amazing and creative person. One of my favorites of all time. He was such a beautiful person. ❤️
Damn, this was an emotional watch. Arguably the best thing WWE has produced outside of the ring so far, this documentary covers everything. They need to make more content like this.
Bray Wyatt will go down as the most creative mind in the whole of wrestling. Still can't believe he was taken from us at 36yrs old. Such a unique and more importantly an incredible man, which this documentary covers in great detail.
The documentary features loads of never before seen footage which is very rare of WWE to do. It dives deep into the creations Bray came up with and it was eye opening to see his early work, Windham was so talented from day one. I enjoyed all…
Most of you know about me being a WWE fan by now I’m sure. Bray Wyatt was one of my favorite superstars for so long as I always appreciated the creativity that went into his gimmicks as clearly he was passionate about putting in the work to make his gimmicks very compelling. Sure there were some dumb moments and creative misfires as well as questionable booking decisions. He was still a polarizing superstar either way and when I heard he died it was a real gut punch for me personally. The tribute show alone was heartbreaking but I have been enjoying the Wyatt Sicks on TV. I figured this documentary would be a hard watch but it was long overdue…
I hate that this even has to exist.
Bray was an incredible performer, and by all accounts, an even better human being. I loved seeing the the previously-unaired footage from his developmental stint, watching him hone in on the various iterations of the Bray Wyatt character. I'd never seen anything like what he brought to the WWE, and it will never be replicated.
The footage of his family, his kids, his funeral...just shattering.
RIP Windham Rotunda
When I got back into watching wrestling 10 years ago after a few years of falling off it The Wyatt Family had just recently made their debut on Raw. I was 14 years old and had an obsession with horror films and uncanny creations so I was really drawn to the unsettling nature of the Bray Wyatt character. I looked at him and knew even back then he was going to be a star and he almost instantly became one of my favorites. The first WWE show I ever attended was a Friday night Smackdown in March 2014 and the show closed with a not televised match between The Shield and The Wyatt Family, I’ll never forget the beautiful visual…
One of the saddest documentaries I’ve ever seen
Rip windham rotunda and Brodie Lee
Bray was a genius of his craft, although his ideas rarely were ever translated to screen with the intention he wanted, but when achieved, simultaneously changed the landscape of the canvas he performed on. Never would have thought that I'd start Mania week with a tear-jerker, but his absence during it will surely be felt. And WWE did well enough to commemorate that and his short legacy with this well-constructed documentation, ranging from his heavy highs to what could have been so much more. Left too soon but left with a career that can be rarely replicated. Rest easy man. Bring your tissues for this one.
I am the color red in a world of black and white.
-Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda)
God damn wrestling documentaries making me cry.

“I am the color red in a world full of black and white.”
My mother always says, “They were too good of a person, that’s why God called them back to serve as an angel”. I don’t know if she’s right but, for us wrestling fans, Windham Rotunda was more than an angel or a wrestler. He was creativity personified, a man determined to leave the legacy of his industry in far better shape than he found it in, and hope that the product that we know and love can have the passion and dedication it used to. I’ll be the first to admit, his Bray Wyatt took some getting used…
