I kind of prepared myself for it, but I wasn\u2019t exactly sure what was gonna happen, which I\u2019m fine with it. Like you said, I had a long run there, I\u2019m 62-years old and to be honest with you, it was harder and harder to do all the traveling and keep that pace. It definitely helps being a little younger when you\u2019re trying to keep the pace that you\u2019d have to working for WWE. Especially, my whole time there, we did live shows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like depending on which show you were on, we did both television shows and I did a ton of live events which were like Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then TVs were Monday, Tuesday until they switched to the Friday Night Smackdown. So I definitely put a lot of time in on the road and it\u2019s kinda nice being home. My wife and I have been married, it\u2019ll be 36 years in October and all but three years of that, I\u2019ve been on the road, so I mean that\u2019s a long time and I\u2019m actually enjoying to be home more and be around my wife and see my grandkids some more and get a chance to go fishing more, which I like to do living here Florida. That\u2019s my go-to, my relaxation so it\u2019s given me an opportunity to do more, to me something that\u2019s important to do and it\u2019s fun for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Rotunda on his son Bo Dallas and hoping that WWE finds something for him: &#8220;Windham\u2019s [Bray Wyatt] had an opportunity to be world champion a couple of times and I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll do it again and Taylor [Bo Dallas] even had the opportunity to be a tag team champion. And I think Bo has a lot of ability and even his brother will say that because he\u2019s a better worker than I am but\u2026 hopefully they\u2019ll figure out something that works for him, that enhances his career. He\u2019s worked there quite a while and he has a lot of ability. They just need to find something to capitalize on that in my opinion. But that\u2019s the biggest thing, just being able to work, a dad and his two kids for the best wrestling company and the biggest wrestling company in the world, that\u2019s probably our legacy. Just being able to get that opportunity.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>On Bray Wyatt&#8217;s creation of The Fiend character and not knowing it was happening:<\/b> &#8220;I thought the Bray Wyatt character was out of the box because I hadn\u2019t seen anything like that and he pulled it off so well, you know? Then, I didn\u2019t even know he was gonna start doing The Fiend stuff and all of a sudden, I was like a new fan watching it myself because I wasn\u2019t aware that he was \u2014 even though you work for the same company there, you could go a month without being on the same show, because we were running so many shows, different directions. And I\u2019m sure he did have quite a bit of input in it because the fact of the matter is when you do have your own input, you\u2019re gonna be more comfortable with your thinking in that direction. And I\u2019m sure creative gave him some direction too as well but I think he came up with quite a bit of that with his own creative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Rotunda further spoke about his sons\u2019 creativity and what they bring\/can bring to the WWE product:<\/b> &#8220;Some people, you can do stuff to enhance a character and make it even bigger. It\u2019s like the character my oldest son does when he did Bray Wyatt. They kind of came up with that themselves and it was\u2026 developed the character more and more and then they went to doing The Fiend stuff and he was just \u2014 Windham, my older son is good on the mic. He can talk well and speak well and he has a creative mind and so does my younger son. They\u2019re both creative. They didn\u2019t get that from me but, they both have creative thinking and have ideas to make it better and like I said, it just depends on the individual I think and also now, the WWE has a much more creative, bigger creative team assembled for stuff like that than they did back in the day. I mean it was more like a, \u2018Hey, this is what you\u2019re gonna be doing. We\u2019ll do some vignettes\u2019 and then you get going and then you just kind of feed off of that, try to make it the best you could.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Other topics include Rotunda&#8217;s entire WWF run with Barry Windham as the U.S. Express, his WWF run as &#8220;IRS&#8221; Irwin R Shyster including being in Money Inc. with Ted DiBiase, NWA, WCW, being in the NWO, NJPW, NWO Japan, AJPW,
