Otis reflects on some of his biggest inspirations as a big man in wrestling.
Otis's size is what most people see first as a WWE Superstar. However, like many of the versatile big men who came before him, he also has the ability to be very entertaining. During an appearance on The Five Count radio show in Mankato, Minnesota, Otis was asked to name some of his inspirations.
The 2020 WWE Money in the Bank winner highlighted names like Bam Bam Bigelow, the Big Boss Man, and Bruiser Brody.
"Off the top my head's gonna be Bam Bam Bigelow. I'd say Bruiser Brody just because he's super heavyweight on the scale, but his mannerisms in between, the aggressiveness. I always like that, like psycho-looking, hairy-looking dude. Big Boss Man. I love Big Boss Man. He moved like he was only 300 pounds, but he was 400-something pounds. I couldn't believe it. Big Boss Man, he was an animal, brother. There's been a lot of great big men. Big Van Vader, dude. Those early days in Japan? What a hoss."
Elsewhere in the interview, Otis noted he wanted to work a singles program with Randy Orton. Read more here.
