*SPOILERS* If you haven't seen RAW yet and you don't want to be spoiled then stay out of this thread*SPOILERS*


[YOUTUBE]nHB20zh7Ysc[/YOUTUBE]​


Not to sure how long that video will be available for as WWE have already started taking down other ones.

On RAW tonight a vingette played hyping the Wyatt Family. They have been key players in NXT for quite some time and have been doing some excellent work there. They are not your standard group and will add something completely new to the product when they are introduced. I am glad that they brought up the group as a whole rather than just Bray Wyatt on his own. Whilst he is very impressive I feel that for this gimmick to work to it's full potential he needs followers and so it is the right choice to bring up the others with him.

Bray Wyatt was previously part of Nexus under the name Husky Harris, in that gimmick he showed no personality at all which is a complete contrast to the Bray Wyatt character. He is brash, he is outgoing and he is in control. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan make up the rest of the Wyatt family and they are currently the NXT Tag Team champions.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out, definitely not a cookie cutter gimmick at all.

Your thoughts on the Wyatt Family? Who would you like to see them feud with when they eventually debut? Do you think that they can succeed?

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

As of right now, the only teams I can think of for them to feud with are The Uso's & Tonnes of Funk. But the way they portray the gimmick could be beyond the simple face/heel and just go after any team that gets in their way.

I have enjoyed their work in NXT, it is definitely a refreshing gimmick.

Only care about Bray Wyatt, other two are lumbering Festuses, too bad WWE couldn't get the Briscoes because they would've put their peanut butter in Wyatt's chocolate.

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

The bearded guy (Brown) is Luke Harper (Brodie Lee) from CZW and the other ranga guy Erick Rowan I could not give two craps about.

However I love the gimmick Wyatt Family has and I think it's a great addition.

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

I'm great with it as long as Wyatt is the star as opossed to a manager role. The tag team is horrible. I was hoping they could get literally anyone else. If Wyatt is a singles competitor and the other act out more as his bodyguards, I'll be more than happy.

I am just glad there is another tag team around even if they aren't the most athletic. They are completely different to any other team on the roster. Bray Wyatt will be the star anyway and they will most likely be mainly bodyguards who wrestle occasionally in six man or regular tag team matches.

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

Bray Wyatt is THE best gimmick going in WWE thesedays, he pulls the character off perfectly and his 'family' just adds to the gimmick. Interested to see how far WWE takes the cult gimmick.

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

Great decision to call up all three guys, have no problems with it whatsoever and thought the video package was cool.

Looks as though Bray is going to be assuming the manager role to start off with, or at least that's the vibe I got from the video. Really not sure about the hate on Harper and Vine, especially Harper who isn't no fumbling, plodding big guy but I can somewhat see pessimism regarding Vine even though I think he'll do well. Great looks, great gimmicks and great potential, full steam ahead!

No lol, but I know who you mean. That guy was tiny compared to this guy.

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

I think this is great and this is literally the best thing for WWE right now. Brings some fresh blood to the tag team division and we get a very believable heel. People love to hate on that Religious stuff.

Weekly Wyatt promos :homer:

That vignette was mark-worthy for sure, I can't wait. I need to download his theme song to put on my phone.

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

I've always loved the use of vignettes to introduce a talent or group and this is one of the best I've seen.... So glad they decided to let these guys come up with this gimmick as it is almost certain to get over and get over quickly..... Could honestly care less how good the two big dudes can go in the ring. They look creepy as fuck and they look capable of hurting people and for the purpose they will serve, it works..... Really looking forward to seeing these guys going forward, hope we get a couple more of these videos before they actually show up... let the mystique grow for a while

Re: *RAW Spoilers* New group heading to RAW

Absolutely love these guys and I can't wait to see them on live WWE TV but I'm not entirely sure how Wyatt's gimmick will get over with 8k+ fans, most of them might not get the gimmick.

Also is it me, or does Luke Harper look like he should be in My Name is Earl?
