On the October 28th episode of WWE Smackdown, Uncle Howdy finally let the world know who he is. While Wyatt was in the midst of “addressing his inner demons,” Uncle Howdy suddenly popped up on the Titantron and warned Wyatt that he could never hide from his Uncle Howdy.
Fans have been curious to know more about his mysterious character. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter shed some light on the inspiration for this new angle.
The new Captain Howdy character that Wyatt introduced this week on Smackdown is from the 1982 movie “Hysterical,” by the Hudson Brothers. Richard Kiel, the 7-foot-2 giant who was best known as “Jaws” in James Bond movies including “The Spy Who Loved Me,” played the role of Captain Howdy
