Bo Dallas recently opened up about his character Uncle Howdy on the Headlock podcast, sharing how this role has allowed him to tap into his most creative side in professional wrestling. Dallas, whose real name is Taylor Rotunda, has long been known for his versatility, but with Uncle Howdy, he’s finally found a role that lets him explore his love for eerie and mysterious storylines.
Bo Dallas on His Journey to Uncle Howdy
Dallas expressed excitement about embracing the darker aspects of his character, something he’s always been interested in but hadn’t previously had the chance to explore fully in WWE. He credited his brother, Windham Rotunda—better known to WWE fans as Bray Wyatt—as a major influence in this area. Bo shared:
“Oh, for sure. This has always been the stuff that I’ve liked, and my brother. We’ve always been intrigued with the different, the odd, eerie parts of the world, scary stuff.”
While Bray Wyatt became known for his eerie and psychological persona, particularly with his Fiend character, Dallas pursued a different path. However, now with the Uncle Howdy character, Dallas is thrilled to follow a similarly dark and mysterious path.
The Impact of Windham Rotunda’s Influence
Bo shared that watching his brother’s success in crafting eerie and memorable characters like The Fiend deeply inspired him. He explained that the chance to explore the Uncle Howdy character allows him to feel connected to his late brother, saying:
“I always saw what Windham was doing, and that’s the stuff that both of us like but I was not in that. I didn’t have the opportunity to do that. Now that I do, like I said, I feel like a little kid playing and I still feel like I have my brother with me and it’s unbelievable.”
