WWE: 10 Things You Need To Know About Bray Wyatt

10. Wrestling Is In His DNA

Bray Wyatt's real name is Windham Rotunda. For those who don't know, he comes from a long line of professional wrestling greatness. His father is none other than Mike Rotunda, otherwise known as Mike Rotundo, Captain Mike, Michael Wallstreet, VK Wallstreet and Irwin R. Schyster of Money, Inc. Rotunda had successful runs in the 80s and 90s in Florida Championship Wrestling, the NWA, WCW and WWE. He's a decorated wrestler with many titles to his credit and also served as a member of the nWo. Before breaking into the pros, he was an amateur wrestling standout at Syracuse Unversity, whih inspired the Varsity Club stable he was in with Kevin Sullivan, Rick Steiner and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Wyatt's grandfather is WWE Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan, the legendary brawling big man from Texas. Mulligan was known as one of the toughest men to ever compete and hopefully that toughness was passed down through his genes to Bray. His uncles are WWE Hall of Famer Barry Windham (for whom he was named) and his brother Kendall. Barry is best known for being one of the greatest in-ring workers of his generation, highly respected by his peers as well as a member of the Four Horsemen. Kendall had a respectable career as well, but due mostly to his lanky, frame never experienced the success of the rest of his family. Wyatt's brother is former NXT Champion Bo Dallas. These relations wil probably never be mentioned on WWE television due to it contradicting Bray's character and gimmick, but it's important to know when assessing his potential.
