In the fictional WWE world, sometimes a character takes on a new gimmick, and the transformation is acknowledge - but this is one of those occasions in that fictional world, Husky Harris and Bray Wyatt are actually two different people. Like Kane and Isaac Yankem.

Now I know WWE wants people to forget he was ever Husky & fans are derided for the Husky Harris chants and I'm sure people are afraid Punk will bring up who he used to be Punk isn't going to bring it up. He's a huge wrestling fan, and I doubt he'd want to ruin the guy's gimmick. The whole "pipebomb" thing was built around portraying Punk as this counterculture guy who brought up the (perceived) real-life corruption and politics in WWE. It was aimed at the smart fans who knew, not the marks, who only knew HHH as "the funny DX guy" and not the (perceived) political animal he really was.

There's no reason to provoke the audience into starting up a chant that couldn't help and could very well hurt the character he's portraying.
Husky Harris came and went. You can induce a sense of familiarity and history without words. Lets see these two talk to each other without the "it's been a long time, (insert old gimmick here)" garbage, or making cute allusions to his old gimmick.

Do people talk about cowboy doofus Skip Sheffield? They should just leave it be. Agreed. They'd be better off reminding the fans of his old 300 plus undefeated streak he racked up back in WCW.

I can't understand why some people can't get over the fact that some guys change names/gimmicks/personas. Wrestling is fake, we have to suspend disbelief to enjoy it, part of that suspension is that some people are presented as entirely new persons, get over it.

If Punk never mocked Ryback for his past as Skip Sheffield and the Goldberg comparisons during their feuds, I doubt he'll mock Bray for his past as Husky Harris.

I think Bray should bring it up without mentioning Husky. He used to be another man who's head was filled with lies by someone that used him. Now he's going to prove himself to be a better *cult* leader than that man ever was... In his own crazy way of course.
