Hall Of Famer Reveals Where Inspiration For Bray Wyatt’s Rocking Chair Came From

The wrestling world is still mourning the loss of Bray Wyatt and it’s safe to say that his family, friends and fans will be grieving for some time. The former Universal Champion gave the world a lot to remember him by, and over the last week or so the wrestling community has been talking about all of the things that made Bray Wyatt special.

There are a few items that are synonymous with Bray Wyatt at this point and one of them is Wyatt’s rocking chair. WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently paid tribute to Bray Wyatt in a Facebook post where he explained that Wyatt got the idea for the rocking chair from a promo Foley did during his feud with Randy Orton.

“The first time I remember meeting Bray was in either late 2011 or 2012 when he told me about this new type of “thing” he was working on in Florida Championship Wrestling. He mentioned how much he had enjoyed a promo I did in a rocking chair leading up to my big match with Randy Orton at “Backlash” in 2004 – and mentioned that he was incorporating a rocking chair into this thing he was working on. The “thing” turned out to be “The Wyatt Family”, which took WWE by storm, and turned Windham Rotunda into one of the biggest stars in WWE history.”
