Bray Wyatt appeared on the Busted Open radio show recently. Here are the highlights.
On his relationship with Triple H:
“Me and Triple H, I think we have a love-hate relationship. I love him, he hates me. I’m just kidding.
“Hunter was there at the beginning of NXT. It was nothing, it was still FCW, it was a warehouse, and when he came in, everything started to change. It was a lot of cartoon characters. It was, I’m not going to name names, but a lot of goofs and, you know, guys just wearing trunks and going out there, baby oil all over themselves, and then there was me. When we started that first show, I was one of the first characters to ever come out and I was so different. No one understood that at that time because NXT was not what you see today with all these bright characters. Finn Balor coming out with all the, whatever, devil crap. It wasn’t like that then. It was just cartoon characters and when I walked out, it was just a great feeling because people immediately accepted what I was doing. They didn’t care about the other guy. They didn’t want to know about how it happened. They were just happy it did. They were very receptive and Hunter was instrumental in that for believing in me when not too many other people did… He’s carried me a long way and I owe him everything.”
On his old character Husky Harris:
“I explain the old guy as a shell of a man that never really existed at all because that’s exactly what it was. It was ‘the man’ trying to make into something that they thought would be humorous for them, but it meant nothing to me. Never did and it never will.”
You can listen to Busted Open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-4pm ET on SiriusXM Rush 93.
