Erick Rowan talks about honoring Bray Wyatt‘s legacy as a member of the Wyatt Sicks.
WWE Superstar Erick Rowan recently spoke with Card Player. When asked if there’s an honor in carrying on Bray Wyatt’s legacy in things like the Wyatt Sicks, Rowan gave a very heartfelt response in regards to what his friends meant to him and how it sometimes gets emotional doing what he is now.
“I don’t think it’s like this enormous pressure,” Erick Rowan began. “Yes, we’re keeping the spirit alive. I’m trying to keep John’s spirit alive. These are things that are near to my heart, but sometimes it gets emotional. You can’t stop it like you’re surrounded by it.
“That song that Windham used to come out to, the code orange song. Yeah, it’s tough. Seeing the fireflies, it’s tough. But seeing all this stuff and being in there and seeing the fireflies and knowing that this is like being in places that…and you’re looking around and they’re not with you. I mean, that’s a tough pill to swallow.
“But then you slowly start to open your eyes and look around. You got Nikki Cross, you got Dexter, you got Gacy, and then you got Taylor, Bo, and you open your eyes and you’re like okay, this is a family too.
The Wyatt Sicks have become family to Erick Rowan
“They’ve become a family to me, and it makes it easier, if that makes any sense. Because I know I have people there that, the people that are no longer here, would probably smile that were all rocking together, you know? Initially for them, but hopefully to prove something to within ourselves of what that message is, and that’s these people have been thrown away in the eyes of the fans in a story sense.
“But in a real-life sense, these people have been and kind of forgotten about. These people have been if you really want to go deeper into it. These people have been, there’s been negativity spread about these people individually. Not necessarily now within whatever the realm of whatever’s going on with the group, but there’s been negativity spread about each one of these people, online.
“I don’t think a lot of these people have had clear chances to showcase what their strengths really are in the company. Any company. And I think this is the chance for them to begin to show those strengths while honoring something that’s pretty big and close to my heart.”
