WWE legend says Bray Wyatt is a big fan of his
Former WWE Superstar Rhino spoke of his interaction with Bray Wyatt after the latter admitted to being a massive fan of the ECW original.
Rhino has been in the wrestling business for over 20 years, performing for promotions such as WWE, ECW, and IMPACT. His signature move, The Gore, enabled him to capture a hardcore legion of young fans.
In a recent conversation with Joey Karni on The Angle podcast, Rhino looked back on a moment he shared with Wyatt. Bray, like many others, was a big Rhino fan growing up:
“I’ve gotten a lot of respect behind the scenes and, you know, from the men and women. I’ll never forget the first time I met Bray Wyatt, he goes, ‘Oh man, big fan’. You know, back when I was growing up, it was kind of taboo for you to say that." (H/T - Wrestling Inc)

The anticipation of seeing Rhino deliver a gore during his first WWE run in the early 2000s propelled him to the top of the card.
