The eldest son of perennial WWF and WCW midcarder Mike Rotunda (best known as Irwin R. Schyster, or I.R.S.), Windham Rotunda has been wrestling for six years under a whole heap of aliases and all of it with WWE and their developmental organisations. Rotunda began his career at 22 years old in FCW, tagging with his kid brother Taylor, who also would go through a variety of name changes before settling on Bo Dallas. He would be called up to compete in the game show version of NXT a year later under the heatkilling moniker Husky Harris, a move that did not cover him in glory until he was buttonholed to join the heel Nexus stable with the rest of the NXT rejects in late 2010. It didnt last long: by the end of January 2011, Husky Harris was back in FCW. It was there that the character of Bray Wyatt as formed, debuting in April 2012, and being called up to the main roster just over a year later. Its true that Wyatts run since the call-up two years or so ago has been the victim of badly botched, inconsistent booking, but thats not to denigrate what Rotunda has accomplished: a feud with John Cena and a Wrestlemania match with the Undertaker after such a short period of time are nothing to be sniffed at, even as underwhelming as they turned out to be. Treading water once again in a meaningless feud with the Ryback, Wyatt can still shine provided the company gets behind the character as it did in summer 2013. After all, time is on his side. Yes it is.
