I was cynical when this first started, (the video segment on raw) but the moment I saw the one character ask Bo "do you feel like you're exploiting your brothers death?" I was like daammmmmmmmmnnnnnnn .... Okay. Props to everyone involved. The segment is real. Real as fuck. And I agree Simon. It's not up to me or you or anyone else to tell these family members how to grieve for their own family. But the fact theu went straight for that level of... Reality, and let the family members essentially bear their true emotions for us I thought wow. ... This must mean the world to members of the Wyatt family, I am happy for them.
Well said. Bray made it very clear this is how he dealt with his mental health and made it into art. He was so wasted, a real psychological storyteller. Taylor really is doing the same and using this as part of the grieving process. Brays wife approves and that should be all anybody needs ❤❤
Using their real names and bringing their wives into it is really parasocial. Just enjoy Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy, you don’t need to stalk the man. You’re not on first name terms with him.
I love that in Bo’s depression and wanting to find a safe place he found himself in the FunHouse (where the meeting between him and Howdy occurred). The same place that Bray found himself needing to find somewhere to feel safe. I’m taking this as the characters taking advantage of Bo to get out of the Funhouse. They lured him in in his weakened emotional state to get themselves out. Good shit. I doubted this at first but now I like the direction this is heading in
@@Sassssky character development and motivations. Thats what :) A good story has good characters that have meaning and reason behind their actions. Every good match has a good story that builds up to the explosive collision between two characters. You can have a good match but if you add a story on top of that then you have the makings for magic.
Tbh the Bo Dallas interview was gold , it was raw reminded me of mankind Jim Ross . This feels like all of us rooting for Rey when he won the belt in honor of eddie .
"I'm Nobody" "There YOU Are" I knew in that moment that we are truly in for something great. Not just some 2nd rate tribute act. This is going to be a wild ride.
Between the dichotomy of Bo sitting across from his own persona in Uncle Howdy and the fact that Uncle Howdy is literally asking questions like a psychiatrist (maybe thats why they kidnapped the psychiatrist?) I think they are doing a great job of expressing grief and discussing mental health through this story.
He needs to leave what culture. I keep meaning to see their take on this, but they are like bully boys who try to embarrass us for enjoying wrestling and these storylines... They are the reason so many kids don't enjoy wrestling like we did as kids.
As soon as it showed Taylor and shared his feelings I was in. Bitterness, resentment towards yourself and others really happens. Having lost my older brother when I was 14 it was like he was sharing my thoughts when it happened to me. It feels a lot more human now. The masks and spooky smoke feels like it's there to respect Bray and Brodie, but the men behind them are going to be very real I think.
I’m so sorry to hear about you losing your brother, especially so young. I don’t know how old you are and assume that was probably a while ago now, but I imagine that wound never fully heals. Much love to you, your family, and your brother’s memory.
@@jasontylermoncada1437 Thanks Jason, I appreciate your msg. I'm 43 now. The wounds don't heal, you just hide them away and keep going the best you can. Nobody gets out of here without suffering, if only we got that luxury. Thanks for your thoughts 👍
I always wondered why Bo wasn't included in the Wyatt family from jump. I was so happy when he got to work with Bray as Uncle Howdy. I really wanted to see them succeed together, but it was cut short. Although Bray has passed on, it is absolutely awesome that Bo is able to continue his brother's vision. And I felt him in that promo cause it was his real emotions that hit me right in the feels. Such great work from Bo. Bray would be proud!!
I loved this moment. If you've watched the documentary, you know how invested and excited both brothers were to do this and do it together. I am so captivated and really hope this takes off for all involved.
This felt real, genuine, and raw and even though it’s part of the storyline this is almost like therapy for Bo Dallas to talk how he’s felt since his brother passed so bravo Triple H for this
I heard a quote once - "What we do in life echoes an eternity." Honoring thy brother by solidifying his legacy is the most brotherly thing a man can do. Anyone who says otherwise does not know what being in a family means or you just take it for granted.
Simon Miller is professional wrestling. I have watched professional wrestling since 1984. I watched AWA, WCCW, WWF, NWA, WCW, AEW, ECW, Memphis Championship Wrestling, NXT, Portland Wrestling, and TNA/Impact. Never has anyone been as astute of the business not named Jim Cornette been as dead on as Simon Miller on over 90% of what he says. Love it.
I saw someone mention that it makes no sense that Taylor was Howdy with Bray so how can he be Howdy with himself? It’s simple, Bray’s Uncle Howdy was a manifestation of his own anger and grief after losing his job. Taylor’s Uncle Howdy is a manifestation of Bo’s grief, anger and hate for losing his brother so young, for being forgotten because his brother died
Okay if we can see more of this, I'm invested. This was chilling because there was so much truth to what Bo said as well. I wonder if we'll see Uncle Howdy interview the other members of the Wyatt Sicks... as their original selves.
We Love You Simon!!! Never a day I don't watch your videos... accept when you don't post one yet but as soon as it's posted I'm watching lol We appreciate you bro!!! 🙏
The Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy segement makes me wonder if Erick Rowan will have a similar promo in the future discussing losing his friends Windham and Jonathan Huber in such a small window. If there is anyone in the Wyatt Sicks that comes even close to feeling the level of loss Bo does it has to be him and I can only imagine the potential of catharsis being part of this can provide them both (Edit:fixed auto fill spelling error)
I kinda want to keep them out of the ring in official matches for a bit. Have them be a menacing presence in the back (shout out to Xavier Woods/Austin Creed for keeping it going on social media behind the scenes) keeping the others in check. They haven't really ever done that angle before, so it's something new. Have them go against Gable for abusing the AA family, then have them go aftef Karrion Kross and AoP for trying to break up the brothers of New Day, etc. Make that the driving force behind Wyatt Sick6.
Man as long as Bray family is ok with it all that is what matters, they keeping his memory alive and well thats awesome how they doing it too! And being base of the reality of life with us losing Bray Wyatt they lost the human the person and if this is something to keep him alive this amazing it was excellent! Plus WWE has set up Bray’s kids til get grow up is so classy it beautiful they making sure Bray legacy isn’t forgotten, his kids are set for years to come and Bo Dallas gets to boost his career while keeping Bray’s awesome creations alive!
Anybody who says anything negative is less than shit a brother losing a brother and wanting to keep his brother’s name alive is none of your business. The work he’s doing is good and all honesty. The will to continue to work through your pain and talk about your pain in wrestling make-believe is powerful for me
I wouldn't read too much into Alexa Bliss on the truck tbh, I went to see Smackdown about a month ago and they still have Claudio Castignoli and Johnny TV on some of those trucks.
Great segment. The only thing I'd have changed, was have the lights go out and have Abby (Nikki) just appear standing in front of Cole when the lights came on. Imagine Cole reacting to this? Then after giving him the box, she could have crawled up into the ring to scare Chad Gable. But what a wonderful piece of film. I found myself so into Bo Dallas promo I started to get choked up.
What I want to see from their first match is basically what we saw from the Fiend's in-ring debut, which wasn't quite a squash but still a very decisive win with a bit of no-selling mixed in.
I feel they going ahead with Bray's story is the best tribute to the man's genius and legacy. I was worried that people would misunderstand this as exploiting his death, then they actually addressed it in the interview and I was like "hell yeah"! Blur the lines let's effing go! Long live Bray!
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Bo is keeping Brays legacy alive in honor of him, and Bray would be so proud that he left a legacy so important that the story carried on even without him here. Not to mention Bo is his real life brother. So if anyone can honor Bray and pull this off it’s Bo. I’m sure Bo somewhat knew the direction the uncle Howdy and Bray storyline was going before his passing. Even though Bo may not be Bray, he could carry the torch in his memory
People who believed it was disrespectful obviously have no comprehension of entertainment. When a screenwriter produces a play, continuing that play afterwards is not disrespect, as long as family/copyright owners approves. Death does not end intellectual property. If it did, we could say bye-bye to most storylines in fiction. Oh and science would be over ;D
“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, ..... The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.” ― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man A person only truly dies when they are forgotten and their name or legacy are no longer spoken about.
So this is kind of the same reason Cody's story was so enthralling because yes while it was a predetermined outcome it had that layer of realism to it. This is all fake, these people are more or less athletic actors. But Bo isn't acting at all. This is very real. And that's why it's gonna be great.
When the WyattSick6 debuted I was cautiously optimistic about things. After Monday I am invested in wherever this story goes, which is what I was hoping for.
I think the one reason why ppl were tentatively holding their breaths about the Wyatt Sick6 (rather than blatantly rejecting it outright), is the involvement of the family. His brother being at the helm. Even though I was nervous about it myself - I truly believe that whatever they do, it will be their best and sincere effort.
Actually it's not exploiting. It was actually remembering and by connecting Bray's memories still involved with the faction. This is actually the best way. The question is, who is Bo going to be? Is he really Uncle Howdy or will he be suiting up as the new Fiend, because he says he wanted to be like his brother. I believe he wasnt revealed to be Uncle Howdy, we just know he is behind the mask but storywise he wasnt. I dont know but im too excited with this!!!
People getting mad asto wether it's Sister Abigail or Abby. ABBY IS LITERALLY SHORT FOR ABIGAIL, THE DOLL IS SISTER ABIGAIL. ABIGAIL IS ABBY. SIMON IS RIGHT
@SimonMillerYT you sir, are a bright spot on the internet!! Thank You!! And please come to Summerslam, I’m a Cleveland resident that would love to be in the background of an Ups & Down video after “Hot Wrestlemania”🤘🏼
I don't understand where the idea that Chad was shot cam from and why it keeps getting spoken of like it clearly was the idea. He had blood on his head but no exit wound and blood splatter. It was never meant to look like he was shot. That other guy they showed with the blood splatter behind his head though... yeah.
The thing is it really feels like Triple H said to them 'When your ready for this story we'll use it as a tribute to Bray but not until you are all ready for it emotionally'
I felt myself starting to tear up watching Bo...I always liked him before all of this and it's a shame he didn't have a time in the ring with his brother. The whole segment was bittersweet and heartbreaking...I could see so much of Bray/Windham as Bo spoke...😢 my heart man...💔 I want everyone to be scared of the Wyatt Sicks like those innthr past use to fear Taker. I always wanted Bray to be that person wrestlers were scared of but sadly it never happened
The one time they got to be in the same ring together was when the Deleters of Worlds defended their tag team titles against the B-Team in a dark match.
Bo showed more depth and complexity in one promo than most of the roster in the last 10 years. Visceral, raw, real, and yet somehow this is bordering on madness. KUDOS
I still want heel New Day. Their best work was at the beginning when they were heels. And there’s a whole generation of WWE fans that weren’t old enough or exist yet to have witnessed heel New Day. I feel like breaking up New Day without another heel run feels like a missed opportunity. But with Big E gone, maybe that ship has sailed. I want a thuggish New Day with Big E as the heavy. And I would love to see Alexa Bliss in the Wyatt Sicks because she and Nikki Cross have history together on top of her history with Bray. I wouldn’t mind seeing Braun Strowman, either, if they break the number motif. I want to see 2017-era monster Braun back and putting him back in the cult will give him a reset.
I had fantasy booked the story they were going to tell as: Uncle Howdy originally really wanted Bo, but Bray LET HIM IN (and The Fiend) in order to save Bo. But now that Bray is gone, the hurt and grieving is so much that Bo is willing to LET HIM IN in order to have the only connection left to Bray.
I've been behind Bo ever since he won the nxt title. He has an edge! He's always had an edge. He even said that He and Bray were supposed to rule together! Meaning, Uncle Howdy and Bo re-emergening was supposed to happening anyway. It's just become more powerful with Bray passing and it gives more meaning to Bo's returning. He can now pick up the torch and add his own spin and continue to firefly journey. Bo will be able to carry this all the way. He's clearly put on the weight and now has a powerful edge to his character. He should easily win the wwe title or world title and carry it like Bray did. And then create fueds with factions and superstars. The real intrigue is what you do with the others. Bo could return on his own. But to have the others is the only thing that gives Bo some work to do. Either way, I'm loving every minute of it and I hope WWE really invest their time and quality into this story.
Remember having to rewind the tapes just to rewatch it? Or when your vcr would “eat” the tape and you’d have to wind it back up in? I grew up with that stuff. It was nice to be able to record anything with tapes.
Not gonna lie, I didn't really like Bo Dallas when I seen him with the whole Bolieve gimmick, but I loved Bray Wyatt after he became his own guy after the Nexus stuff. Just like most ppl am just astounded at why they made Bray lose alot of his main matches that kept Bray being seeing as a main threat, I hope this works out with good credible story's and Bo "Uncle Howdy" and the Wyatt Sicks looking good, am Scottish and always loved Nikki Cross for sure so just want all of them to be brought over good and do a good job of keeping true to Brays vision and passion for sure, rip Windham Rotunda ❤️
Love your takes on wrestling and everything. You are a positive light in a world of darkness. Is there anyway you can replace sedgwick on the whatculture podcast?
As long as it’s not supernatural and psychological I’m on board……I was at Smackdown in Chicago it was the best smackdown all year…..and the past two Raws have been amazing
I am all for Taylor continuing his brother's legacy. I'd rather have a reminder of Bray whenever I can, and Taylor deserves a real run he was never given on the main card.
I think people forget that wrestling is performance and there is an elliment of art and expression in that. No one would think a painter painting about a dead loved one, dont know why this is different.
That’s how I’ve always seen it. I’ve always called an “Art”. Like how music and acting are considered art, that’s how I always considered wrestling. I understand the negative connotation of it being called fake but it’s made to simulate a fight but it’s not a real fight therefore it’s fake but they go above and beyond to do so, THATS ART.
They came from a swamp . How did you forget that already ? I love the swamp matches with Bray Wyatt. Bray Wyatt swamp vs strongman and Bray Wyatt vs Matt Hardy that ended in a swap . But they couldn't find Wyatt and says he got deleted
Almost everything on RAW feels so much more thought out than Smackdown right now. Smackdown is just let's have the bloodline interfere in everything. Where RAW is setting up so much.
Drew should win at MITB, cash in that night, and since I'm pretty sure he already said that's what he's going to do. Then Punk needs to return and screw him out of it after he already cashed in. Leaving Priest vs Gunther and Punk vs Drew both open for Summerslam
It’s time for them to give Gable the Kurt Angle treatment let him form the new Alpha Academy with The Creed Brothers let him win Money in the Bank and let The Creed Brothers get the tag titles
I think Damien will be at Seth and when he celebrates The Demon Finn Balor will come out and jump him. They have been teasing it left and right on Raw. Plus Seth doesn't need the belt right now, he's probably the most over guy in the company.
I'm calling it now, they are setting up a face turn for Rhea and Priest at the same time. Everyone seems to like Liv except for Priest and obviously Rhea. Both of them leave judgment day because of her and then she turns on the judgment day soon after.
"What i'm supposed to do let him become a mausoleum?"
THis line fucking sealed it. Taylor has a story to tell... let him cook.
“Not one person on earth feels what I feel” This promo was just insane one of the best of all time, I wasn’t familiar with Bo’s game goddamn
The raw emotion on his face and the disgust in his eyes when he delivered thay mausoleum line
I was cynical when this first started, (the video segment on raw) but the moment I saw the one character ask Bo "do you feel like you're exploiting your brothers death?" I was like daammmmmmmmmnnnnnnn .... Okay. Props to everyone involved. The segment is real. Real as fuck. And I agree Simon. It's not up to me or you or anyone else to tell these family members how to grieve for their own family. But the fact theu went straight for that level of... Reality, and let the family members essentially bear their true emotions for us I thought wow. ... This must mean the world to members of the Wyatt family, I am happy for them.
Well said. Bray made it very clear this is how he dealt with his mental health and made it into art. He was so wasted, a real psychological storyteller. Taylor really is doing the same and using this as part of the grieving process. Brays wife approves and that should be all anybody needs ❤❤
Using their real names and bringing their wives into it is really parasocial. Just enjoy Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy, you don’t need to stalk the man. You’re not on first name terms with him.
@@jaybee4288 Tell this to the complainers
“No one on earth feels what I feel” that line got me teary eyed ngl
That’s Uncle Howdy.
I love that in Bo’s depression and wanting to find a safe place he found himself in the FunHouse (where the meeting between him and Howdy occurred). The same place that Bray found himself needing to find somewhere to feel safe.
I’m taking this as the characters taking advantage of Bo to get out of the Funhouse. They lured him in in his weakened emotional state to get themselves out.
Good shit. I doubted this at first but now I like the direction this is heading in
OK but what does that have to do with wrestling?
@Sassssky most people watch for the storylines not the wrestling
@connorseaturtle3162 Dunno man I'm not watching WWE for deep thought provoking content about mental illness......
@@Sassssky It's a promo? part of a storyline? two things integral to wrestling?

a man dies… when he is forgotten !!
Can we get much higher.

For a second I definitely thought it was old footage of bray and not bo when they did the blurred reveal. They look so alike now.
This was a beautiful segment, hard to hold back the tears 😢

Has potential to develop nicely
Man, I would LOVE that.
Exactly when Bo and the family is involved it’s more than fine.. it’s awesome because we know Windham would have loved it
My jaw truly dropped when uncle howdy said the line about your brother. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen
Simon Miller is professional wrestling. I have watched professional wrestling since 1984.

Never has anyone been as astute of the business not named Jim Cornette been as dead on as Simon Miller on over 90% of what he says. Love it.
And, ironically? Corny didn't like the debut of the Sicks but I guess genius minds can disagree.

Nikki is kinda the herald for the Wyatt Sicks. She was the first to appear, and told the cameraman to go backstage. Now she's the one with the VHS.
This isn’t exploiting his death but honoring him especially if the family loves it like last week Bray’s wife loved their debut
100% Bray would have loved it.

I want everyone to be scared of the Wyatt Sicks like those innthr past use to fear Taker. I always wanted Bray to be that person wrestlers were scared of but sadly it never happened
The one time they got to be in the same ring together was when the Deleters of Worlds defended their tag team titles against the B-Team in a dark match.
Bo showed more depth and complexity in one promo than most of the roster in the last 10 years. Visceral, raw, real, and yet somehow this is bordering on madness. KUDOS
I still want heel New Day. Their best work was at the beginning when they were heels. And there’s a whole generation of WWE fans that weren’t old enough or exist yet to have witnessed heel New Day. I feel like breaking up New Day without another heel run feels like a missed opportunity. But with Big E gone, maybe that ship has sailed. I want a thuggish New Day with Big E as the heavy.
And I would love to see Alexa Bliss in the Wyatt Sicks because she and Nikki Cross have history together on top of her history with Bray. I wouldn’t mind seeing Braun Strowman, either, if they break the number motif. I want to see 2017-era monster Braun back and putting him back in the cult will give him a reset.
It's great, I'm surprised how damn good that has been so far.
I had fantasy booked the story they were going to tell as: Uncle Howdy originally really wanted Bo, but Bray LET HIM IN (and The Fiend) in order to save Bo. But now that Bray is gone, the hurt and grieving is so much that Bo is willing to LET HIM IN in order to have the only connection left to Bray.
RIP Sika
This brought so much emotion in the Wyatt Sucks story
I've been behind Bo ever since he won the nxt title. He has an edge! He's always had an edge.
He even said that He and Bray were supposed to rule together! Meaning, Uncle Howdy and Bo re-emergening was supposed to happening anyway.
It's just become more powerful with Bray passing and it gives more meaning to Bo's returning. He can now pick up the torch and add his own spin and continue to firefly journey.
Bo will be able to carry this all the way.
He's clearly put on the weight and now has a powerful edge to his character. He should easily win the wwe title or world title and carry it like Bray did. And then create fueds with factions and superstars.
The real intrigue is what you do with the others.
Bo could return on his own. But to have the others is the only thing that gives Bo some work to do.
Either way, I'm loving every minute of it and I hope WWE really invest their time and quality into this story.
I think Bray would’ve loved this!
I want VHS tapes that record 1080P!
Clearly this was recorded in SP and not EP ;)
Where are all my VHS people at???
Remember having to rewind the tapes just to rewatch it? Or when your vcr would “eat” the tape and you’d have to wind it back up in? I grew up with that stuff. It was nice to be able to record anything with tapes.
The thing is that there's a real chance that this is how Bray would want it. There may have even been conversations about this.
Not gonna lie, I didn't really like Bo Dallas when I seen him with the whole Bolieve gimmick, but I loved Bray Wyatt after he became his own guy after the Nexus stuff. Just like most ppl am just astounded at why they made Bray lose alot of his main matches that kept Bray being seeing as a main threat, I hope this works out with good credible story's and Bo "Uncle Howdy" and the Wyatt Sicks looking good, am Scottish and always loved Nikki Cross for sure so just want all of them to be brought over good and do a good job of keeping true to Brays vision and passion for sure, rip Windham Rotunda ❤️
Love your takes on wrestling and everything. You are a positive light in a world of darkness. Is there anyway you can replace sedgwick on the whatculture podcast?
Why do you always hate on yourself, Simon. You're amazing and your opinions matter!
As long as it’s not supernatural and psychological I’m on board……I was at Smackdown in Chicago it was the best smackdown all year…..and the past two Raws have been amazing
I am all for Taylor continuing his brother's legacy. I'd rather have a reminder of Bray whenever I can, and Taylor deserves a real run he was never given on the main card.
I loved it, this is the best way to finish what bray started. I'm drawn to this story
I think people forget that wrestling is performance and there is an elliment of art and expression in that. No one would think a painter painting about a dead loved one, dont know why this is different.
That’s how I’ve always seen it. I’ve always called an “Art”. Like how music and acting are considered art, that’s how I always considered wrestling.
I understand the negative connotation of it being called fake but it’s made to simulate a fight but it’s not a real fight therefore it’s fake but they go above and beyond to do so, THATS ART.
@@pt5728my favourite description of wrestling is “a TV show about a fictional sport”.

Amazing angle ! Bo is amazing ❤
Liv Morgan vs Zelina Vega is scheduled for next week’s RAW and not Money in the Bank.
Thank you Simon 💪
broo wyatt sick6 is the best stuff
The only people exploiting anything are the bucks with that Reebok deal and the Brody shoes
I do see Gunther becoming World Champion at Summerslam.
They came from a swamp . How did you forget that already ? I love the swamp matches with Bray Wyatt. Bray Wyatt swamp vs strongman and Bray Wyatt vs Matt Hardy that ended in a swap . But they couldn't find Wyatt and says he got deleted
How the hell doesn't Michael Cole know the word for VCR?
If only Bray Wyatt was alive to see this...
He's gotta be proud of his little brother though.
If he was alive we wouldn’t have this
This made me imagine that bray is alive and the whole thing was a story😂😂😂
That’d be so fucked up but unfortunately we know that’s not the case
@@Whywhywhyokhorrible to say tbh
I don't think he meant in a nasty way, he's just saying it's Bo's inspiration, his muse!@@br00talitydawg
If anyone thinks that Bray isn't sitting up there SMILING and ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT of this, is delusional.
8:05 "Hot WrestleMania" 😂😂😂
I think this is a split personality storyline. Bo is bo and also Howdy as well.
Almost everything on RAW feels so much more thought out than Smackdown right now.
Smackdown is just let's have the bloodline interfere in everything. Where RAW is setting up so much.
Mark Henry and bubba Ray were upset about the group pic at Whataburger
Idk how they would book it but Nikki and Bliss would be a great "creepy team"
Awesome 👍🏻🎉 love your opinions
Drew should win at MITB, cash in that night, and since I'm pretty sure he already said that's what he's going to do. Then Punk needs to return and screw him out of it after he already cashed in. Leaving Priest vs Gunther and Punk vs Drew both open for Summerslam
Bliss HAS TO join!!! 👏🏻
It’s time for them to give Gable the Kurt Angle treatment let him form the new Alpha Academy with The Creed Brothers let him win Money in the Bank and let The Creed Brothers get the tag titles
Michael Myers spooky bro, after The Undertaker and The Fiend, WWE needed a new character. Uncle Howdy is awesome 💜 Bo Dallas awesome
We are old Simon
I think Damien will be at Seth and when he celebrates The Demon Finn Balor will come out and jump him. They have been teasing it left and right on Raw. Plus Seth doesn't need the belt right now, he's probably the most over guy in the company.
I'm calling it now, they are setting up a face turn for Rhea and Priest at the same time. Everyone seems to like Liv except for Priest and obviously Rhea. Both of them leave judgment day because of her and then she turns on the judgment day soon after.
I like the idea of Jey cashing in on Gunther.
Simon Miller What is Up and Down
That might be the most real and meta thing I’ve ever seen in wrestling. Screw pipe bombs that hit me in the heart 🖤
