Vince Russo mentioned that Wyatt's character work was so good that Hollywood could have created a long-lasting horror franchise centered around him.

"I said it many times when he was alive. I said it many times. 'Why are you going back to the WWE?rBro, you should have been the next Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhees.' I said it many times. 'Bro, go to Hollywood.' Let's build a movie franchise for the next 25 years around this guy. I said that, bro. That's how good he was," said Vince Russo. [From 07:12 to 07:40]

Wight mentioned the one thing he'd remember the most about Wyatt was the tight hug he gave him whenever they crossed paths. He also spoke about the positive energy and vibes that the late star emanated simply by being present in a room.

"The thing that I will remember the most is just every time he saw me It was a big hug and the big smile and that laugh. Just the positive energy that he had and created around him was so special and so unique," said Paul Wight.
