Mike Rotunda reflects on his producer run in WWE

Former WWE Superstar I.R.S., real-life Mike Rotunda, has opened up about his time working as a producer with the company.

Rotunda began his career in the early 1980s, working his way up through the territories like the A.W.A. and Jim Crockett Promotions, as well as the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) alongside tag team partner Barry Windham.

Though he wrestled under his own name during his initial run, he would return to WWE in the early 90s as Irwin R. Schyster, his most famous gimmick with the company.

In recent years though, Rotunda has worked as a producer backstage with WWE from 2014-2020 and has opened up about this experience on a digital signing with Captains Corner.

"They [WWE] had a lot of good talent. Just, you know… pretty much everybody I got along with so, it was nice to see ‘em grow as talent, you know? And get better and better and that’s repetition with anybody, with anything. The more you do something, the better you’re gonna get at it.” he said (H/T POST Wrestling)

Mike Rotunda is the father of two former WWE Superstars

Mike Rotunda's sons have also been stars in WWE.

I.R.S. is the real-life father of Windham Lawrence Rotunda and Taylor Michael Rotunda, formerly known as Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas, respectively, in WWE.

Bray Wyatt was featured heavily on WWE TV between 2012 and 2021 as part of The Wyatt Family and was involved in high-profile feuds with the likes of John Cena, Randy Orton, and The Undertaker, and his final run featuring as the Firefly Funhouse host and The Fiend.

He was released from WWE in 2021, following a lack of creative direction.

Bo Dallas featured on WWE TV from 2012 to 2021, initially gaining success in NXT as the brand's top champion. His main roster run was less successful, often used as enhancement talent or as part of a lower mid-card faction like the Social Outcasts.
