WWE: 10 Things You Need To Know About Bray Wyatt

5. He's The Best Promo In The Business

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7QJruEbKL4 The main thing that has allowed Bray Wyatt to stand out among the crowd of WWE superstars is his ability on the mic. The gift of gab has always been an essential element of a wrestler becoming a star. A talent needs to be able to "talk them into the building" and sell his match or angle to the audience. Since the moment he debuted the character, Wyatt has been delivering promos that run the gamut from good to great to classic. He doesn't just tell his opponent he wants to beat them, he explains why he is driven to destroy them or die trying, which he is more than willing to do. He's passionate and intense and his promos are always creative. The most impressive thing is that he writes his own material. He submits it to creative for suggestions and editing, but the fact that such an inexperienced performer is allowed that kind of freedom in today's climate is unprecended. It's obvious that Bray has spent time studying the greats. There's a little bit of Mankind in there and a whole lot of Jake Roberts, mixed with Wyatt's own unique style. Bray doesn't need to yell to get his point across, often choosing to speak in a voice barely above a whisper. And it's much more menacing. The promos in the build to his match with John Cena at WrestleMania 30 have been some of the best the WWE has put forth since Steve Austin's prime. And the scary thing is he'll likely only continue to improve.
