One particular truth about professional wrestling that not everyone will agree with, is that it truly is a moving and emotional sport. And of course, those who dislike it, are the ones that will not like that statement. For they’ll speak to its excesses and its scripted content, and how that makes it nothing more than passive entertainment. But the arenas that are filled to the brim with legions of loyal and excited fans when the WWE and other leagues come to town, speaks otherwise to that, as does the passion of that fan base. Who will quickly inform us why it moves them, why it makes them tear up now and again, and how a lot of that relates to the stars.
​
Because the stars that wrestle in these leagues, sacrifice so much to entertain the masses, and sometimes struggle with their health when they leave the sport and sadly… leave this world too young. Which genuinely breaks the hearts of fans everywhere because they connect with these wrestlers like no other, and truly know that they come out there night after night to put on an amazing show and give them their money’s worth and that is why… one incredibly popular wrestler that was taken too soon, is about to be spotlighted in a new Peacock documentary entitled: Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal.

Which will chronicle Bray’s (whose real name was Windham Rotunda) rise to fame, the impact he made upon the sport through his innovation and the sorrow that fans feel over his untimely passing and well, to properly begin to pray tribute to Windham and his work, earlier today Peacock released a trailer and some key art, and all the details regarding this documentary. So that we can prepare to celebrate his life when his story arrives on Peacock, and since you’re here because you’re a wrestling fan and a fan of Bray’s work in the ring, here are all those gifts to help you count down the days to the release of this important documentary. ·         Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal is narrated by Mark William Calaway, better known as ‘The Undertaker.’
