Weston Rutkowski

Famously known as a prestigious bullfighter, Weston Rutkowski is from Haskell, Texas. Rutkowski initially worked two jobs. He was in charge of protecting the cowboy if he fell off the bull, and then later on he also took part in competitions, which was something he would do over the weekends. Rutkowski would face and fight a Mexican bull for 40 to 70 seconds. Depending how well he is able to handle the bull and keep him under control that is how Rutkowski would get points. What inspired Rutkowski to become a bullfighter was the way he grew up, around rodeo. His uncles also rode broncos for a while and although Rutkowski tried his hand, he was not as good as he wanted. However, from the moment he started helping cowboys get on a bull, he understood that fighting bulls was what he wanted to do. It is also the adrenaline that he feels that keeps him love bullfighting. Rutkowski describes the moments before he enters the stage as challenging and that he feels like he is about to fight a beast. However, Rutkowski believes that the best technique comes from the instinct and not having any fear. Rutkowski wants to continue fighting bulls and does not think that any injury will prevent him from doing so.
