A transcript by Redditor Suplex-City from the book NXT: The Future Is Now reveals a story that former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt told of himself going to jury duty in his full “Wyatt” character.
Here is the excerpt from NXT: The Future Is Now
“Bray began with my real-life lunacy, I’ve always been an against-all-authority kind of child. I was a big fan of Rage Against the Machine, they were a big influence on my life as a child, so when I started working with Dusty Rhodes, I began losing my mind on a very real level. I became obsessed with this character.”
“I was going to jury duty in my hometown, and Dusty made me go to jury duty as Bray. Dusty told me, ‘This is the perfect exercise, become Bray.’ I literally went to jury duty as Bray Wyatt. I was so immersed in the character that I didn’t break once. Obviously, I didn’t get picked for jury duty, but I had the white pants, Hawaiian shirt, the whole nine yards. There were no fragments of Husky Harris, Husky Harris was dead and he was to stay dead. I was Bray Wyatt, we were one.”
The book NXT: The Future Is Now is available on various platforms displaying the rise of the brand we know as NXT.
