"I'm watching that man" - Former World Champion shares his thoughts on WWE's missed opportunity involving Bray Wyatt (Exclusive)

Former WWE superstar Bray Wyatt was one of the most beloved members on the promotion's roster. He was regarded as a creative genius who consistently came up with dark and intriguing characters. He has two iconic, eerie characters, the cult leader of the Wyatt family and The Fiend, and has won the WWE Championship with both of them, which isn't something most wrestlers can claim.

It was recently revealed that real-life cult leader Charles Manson wanted to meet Bray Wyatt after he was shown his work during his time in prison. Manson was convicted of conspiring in the murder of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate and several others and spent his life in jail till he passed away in 2017.

The interaction between Wyatt and Manson never came to fruition, and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vince Russo considered it a missed opportunity. He was speaking on Writing with Russo on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, where he said that if there was an interview between these two individuals, he would've definitely watched it.

"Vince McMahon wanted to freaking book O.J. Simpson for crying out loud. Charles Manson never got arrested for killing anybody. O.J. Simpson killed people. Allegedly. Charles Manson was never charged with killing anybody. And now he's, he's 83 years old. If you have a camera on Bray Wyatt and Charles freaking Manson. Oh my God, bro. Like, I don't know what anybody else is saying. I'm watching that man," Russo said.

Bray Wyatt had two separate spells with WWE spaced a year apart. He signed for the promotion in 2009 and was part of the roster till 2021. He returned to the company the following year in one of the most iconic returns in WWE history, but his time was cut short by his untimely passing in 2023.
