Bray Wyatt is one of those wrestlers who has never looked like he has been thin. He came into the public eye as Husky Harris, a part of Nexus, the invading faction of former NXT talents. He would wrestle for a long time in this gimmick, but it became obvious that he was not going to be successful in this form. His weight and combined lack of Charisma was working against him.

Wyatt then took up a completely different gimmick as Bray Wyatt, an unhinged man with voices in his head and a mysterious Sister Abigail. Together with Rowan and Harper, they formed a vicious faction as they ruled NXT before coming to the main roster. While not as successful in the main roster, the fans loved his gimmick and gave him a chance to win them over.

Although he did, the way WWE have booked him to lose innumerable matches has hurt the mystique of the character that was Bray Wyatt. He is not a wrestler who is ripped with six pack abs, but he is flexible and has shown his acrobatic skills despite being considerably overweight. He was one of the first wrestlers to show the audience that there is no need to be a sculpted Randy Orton to have a fierce persona and be successful in WWE.
