Bray Wyatt recently talked with The Springfield News-Leader while promoting the WWE live event in Springfield, MO at the JQH Arena this weekend. During the interview, Wyatt plugged his match with Randy Orton at the event and talked about what the fans can expect from the match.
“Yeah, well, Randy might be a little bit of a pretty boy, but he’s still a dangerous person. I think he’s a 10- or 12-time world champion, you know, and looks can be deceiving here. But I also have a little bit of something behind me. He’s a little damaged right now, he’s perfect for me. I’ll be coming at him full-bore, just like I do everyone else.”
Wyatt, who is a third-generation WWE Superstar, was asked who his heroes is. Wyatt said that his grandfather, Blackjack Mulligan, is his hero.
“Oh, man. I have a lot of heroes. I have a lot of people that I’ve looked up to. We touched on Dusty already. As far as, you know, me having a hero, I would say Blackjack Mulligan (Robert Windham, Wyatt’s maternal grandfather), who just passed away, you know, not too long after Dusty did. He’s up chasin’ down shots of Jack and gettin’ in fistfights with Dusty in heaven. Blackjack was just a man bigger than life. He was huge, by the way, 6’9″. He was just a huge man. Just seeing him come into a room, how he handled himself. You couldn’t help but look up to someone like that. He was the last cowboy — maybe the last real cowboy outlaw that will ever be.”
