9. He's From A Family Of Wrestlers
Forget second generation wrestler, Bray is actually a third generation wrestler. As most will know already, his real-life brother is Taylor Rotunda or Bo Dallas, who currently works for the WWE. Well-known for his time with WWE as I.R.S., the heel tax-man who chastised crowds for not paying their taxes, Bray's father Mike Rotunda's wrestling career spanned over 20 years working for promotions like AWA, WCW, NJPW, and AJPW. He enjoyed most of his success alongside The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase as three-time Tag Team Champions. Additionally, Brays grandfather was Blackjack Mulligan who wrestled from 1967 until 1988. Typically dressed in all black boots, tights, gloves, and hat, Blackjack found success as a bullheaded heel cowboy that was a force to be reckoned with both in front and behind the curtain. It's easy to see that Bray has wrestling in his blood and has benefited him immensely by growing up in the business, learning critical details at a young age that can be almost impossible to teach adults that were never previously around wrestling.
