Bray Wyatt On His Favorite Nickname, WWE Purchases New Building

Bray Wyatt recently spoke with The Daily Journal to promote the SmackDown Live event at the BankcorpSouth Arena on Monday. You can check out the full interview here along with some highlights below.

His favorite nickname: “I have clung on to ‘The Eater of Worlds’ more than all the rest because that’s one Dusty Rhodes gave me. He’s a lot like myself as far as not being in the general mold and cookie cutter. He was his own entity and larger of the life. When people met Dusty, they didn’t meet a man, they met something more. And not to toot my own horn, but I like to think I carry my own mystique as well.”

Making a name for himself: “I don’t really view myself as a legacy, I am my own thing. When I was a child, all I wanted to do was get here some day at some point because I had so much to say and things I wanted to accomplish. Not because someone before me did, but because I had my own message.”

WWE recently released a 8-K SEC filing, which can be seen below. It states that the WWE Real Estate division has purchased a property at 88 Hamilton Avenue in Stamford, CT.

“On September 14, 2016, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
