The NWA Champion disclosed that apart from being a visionary wrestler, Wyatt was good at painting and that he was stunned to see many of his works.
"I don't wanna talk too much about it because it's a family thing. But Windham Bray was painting pictures, and nobody knew, like an artist. These amazing pictures, like looking at them, I was like, 'Who painted these,' and it was him. He had this hidden talent or this hidden drive. He was such a creative guy; he pained these amazing pictures."
EC3 also added that Wyatt's wife, JoJo Offerman, wanted to bring together all of he husband's works and present them in an art gallery.
"There was an idea from his wife like, 'Someday, I wanna do an art gallery of his work.' I'm like, 'I wanna help. I think that's the most awesome thing we could do, and that could also substitute into something where we can all get together and celebrate him as a person," said EC3. [ 1:34 - 2:10]
