It’s been a week since the shocking, tragic death of Windham “Bray Wyatt” Rotunda, and the wrestling world is still working through our collective grief.
Erick Rowan, aka Erick Redbeard, was to the point in his mourning where he could pen a public tribute. Like Braun Strowman (real name Adam Scherr), Rowan’s lost two members of his wrestling Family in the last three years. He couldn’t say goodbye to Bray without again sending a message to their brother Brodie Lee.
Writing this down makes my soul foggy and my heart ache.
Over 12 years ago from the island of FCW we would talk of our mutual love of horror movies and music before embarking on this crazy journey that brought us around the world with Jon. In the process something happened, this family we portrayed weekly in the wrestling world became a real life bond. We spent more time together over the next few years than we would our own families. Strengthening our bond as we dealt with life trials and tribulations together.
Eventually this family grew with the introduction of Adam. As did our love for one another. Life is sometimes unfair, I want to pick up the phone and talk to my brothers. For when I think of Windham It makes me think of Jon then the reality of the crazy truth that they are no longer with us. Though I know they are always listening and smiling.
With their sudden passings I can not state enough how much they loved their families. My heart hurts for their kids, for Jojo for Amanda for their brothers and sisters or anyone lucky enough to call them a friend.
I love you both so much. This is only Goodbye for Now, I will see you down the road.
