Host Adam Silverstein, co-host Chris Vannini and special guest Jack Crosby take a deep dive into Windham Rotunda. From his debut as Husky Harris to his final Uncle Howdy storyline, Wyatt's creative genius and remarkable persona are remembered with a focus on Wyatt as cult leader of The Wyatt Family with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, his multitude of high-profile WrestleMania matches, the transition into The Fiend, the uniqueness of the Firefly Fun House match with John Cena and why his legacy will endure long after his passing. Adam and Jack then take a trip down memory lane discussing one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time in Funk. From his legendary feud with Ric Flair to becoming a tentpole that helped create ECW under Paul Heyman to his run alongside close friend Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack) in WWF, Funk left a lasting image of what it truly means to be a professional wrestler.
