Mike Rotunda talks WWE Hall of Fame, Bray Wyatt documentary, more

[Chris]

Mike Rotunda says it's less stressful for his family knowing that Bray Wyatt won't be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

Rotunda recently spoke to Bill Apter about his son's passing as well as his own upcoming induction alongside Wyatt's uncle, Barry Windham. Rotunda said he believes WWE thought it was too soon to induct Wyatt this year.

He said:

With Windham passing, I thought they were going to immediately put Windham into the Hall of Fame, which he will be at some point, but I think that WWE reassessed stuff and thought it was too soon to go there with our family and the reactions and the stress on us.
We got a call from WWE and said Hunter wants to do a Zoom call. We were thinking they were going to tell us what was going to happen at WrestleMania and Hunter said, ‘You guys are going to get inducted. You and Barry. You were a part of the first ever WrestleMania.'
It’s very flattering, obviously, and actually less stressful on us because of all the stuff that we've had to go through with Windham passing, just the mental capacity of it.
Obviosuly, it's a great honor because you are getting rewarded for what you spent 40 years doing.

Earlier in the conversation, Rotunda addressed the documentary on his son that will air on Peacock on April 1.

I called Triple H when Windham passed away because I didn't want all kinds of internet crap going out about him and stuff so Triple H took the reigns and, you know, let everyone know that Windham had unexpectantly passed. Then later, Triple H called and said we would like to do a documentary so his kids know him when they get older.

He continued

WWE has been awesome. They just have been very helpful throught the process with Windham passing. And very generous and I can't say enough about that. Along with The Rock, he was sending food here every other day, and people reaching out, Undertaker and so many people.
