Bro imagine Vince doing a podcast like this. He’d make millions. I’d listen to every minute
He probably won't do a podcast but he has to do a movie or book.
Bro..
The next show will be
Why did the WWE Rehire Bruce.
Bruce will improve the current product
Well, you know..;)
I'd want to listen to that premiere
Because Vince is desperate
Because Steph is clearly a failure and doesn’t understand that building a huge brand doesn’t make up for not getting talent over
God Damn Pal! This was a great fucking podcast!!!!
IMO Stephanie doesn’t want any of her Dads holdovers. I feel like she doesn’t want anyone who knows more than she does about PRO WRESTLING!
The fact that all Bruce got was a five second firing from Steph over the phone. I am pissed that he didn’t get more respect in the firing.
I am sure you’re a lot happier now Bruce and healthier. But you ARE A HALL OF FAMER!!!
Pinnacle Productions she doesn't need people who know pro wrestling, she needs people to run TV shows. WWE isn't pro wrestling and hasn't been for 40 years.
@@cptnmrgnkid
People like you are why the product is, and has been, complete ass for the last decade.
@@finsfan90 This is true!
@@finsfan90 To be fair WWE is more profitable than ever, which is the motivation.
About "Sports Entertainment"
have you noticed ever since Steph took over creative that wwe has got worse and worse .
Gee ya think. I haven’t watched the so called product in 12 years. It’s unwatchable politically correct, vanilla midget crap.
@@CobraCraig88
Yeah nxt is good but most of the dudes look like they just graduated from high school
Stephanie hasn't been in creative for a decade
@@CobraCraig88 This! This comment. I'm in the same boat, man.
And now Bruce is back, he produced the Firefly Funhouse "match" at wrestlemania which was the best part of this wrestlemania. And considering he says in this podcast he wanted to learn how to make movies, well I guess this is proof he did eventually learn how.
In the wonderful words of Jim Cornette “Stephanie needs to be head of creative like I need to be the head of fuckin NASA!”
Which interview was this lol
To summarize all of this in one sentence: Bruce Prichard was fired because Stephanie McMahon became an adult and took his job due to nepotism.
And the business has never been more successful and profitable under her creative control. Do we know who Vince replaced when he joined the company in the 1970's?
Sounds like she thought women can juggle being a business person and a mom. They cannot.
@@joshportie what a sexist comment
@@whileimhere.6177 its really not. You cannot be a fulltime parent and work. Your children pay the price. And two the most valuable job in society is a parent. Its a far far higher calling than grinding for money and fame. Its actually sexist of you to make your comment.
@@whileimhere.6177 Its not sexist; its mostly true! Its hard to he a good dad when youre working ALL THE TIME! Dad’s miss games, birthdays, graduations, milestone moments, and tbh honest, to most kids, thats okay! But its never okay when your mom misses them or forgets, or just cant be there due to work!
Are you suggesting that women can straight do it ALL???
Bruce is being way too nice about Steph it kind of makes sense now . Never burn your bridges.......
Hindsight being 20/20, I mean he does work there again now lmao
Stephanie took over and thought Bruce was a stooge that was undermining Stephanie.
I love that Conrad just *keeps coming back* to the story about Bruce pulling a gun on the writing staff hahah
Sounded like there was more to the story. Doesn’t add up
Let's be honest, if Stephanie's last name wasn't McMahon, she would never have got the job she has, much less kept it for a decade.
HaeravonFAQs What if it was Trump?
Well to be fair, Stephanie McMahon has shown that she has at least an idea of what she’s doing, that a hell of a lot more than you can say about Impact Wrestling’s Dixie Carter.
JJ Abeyta
Yeah, with a team of help from much smarter people.
Well dah
@@Vikashar 😂😂😂
This is by far my favorite wrestling podcast.
Dominic Rigsby listen to Cornette. You’ll change your mind
@@fins2334 yeah but Cornette is so old school minded
Love that guy and love his podcast as well but this one here STW is top notch because Bruce has literally been with Vince for over 20 plus years. So he has a ton of stories and info to discuss
@@fins2334 00000
I feel bad hearing Bruce try to fall on the sword and not go after Stephanie.
Joshua O'Neill yeah. It gets uncomfortable there at the end and you can tell he’s hiding shit
I love how Conrad twist the knife in Bruce's side at 27:36
If I were vince, I would have realized how real of a friend he has in Bruce with how well he handled that.
He is the king of the brown nosers and he knows that if he criticized her he could never go back. It paid off he's back there producing mediocre TV again.
@@geneanthony3421 that's the way everyone looks at it but god damn pal, if you worked side by side with someone who gave you every meaningful opportunity in your career and made you millions of dollars would you be first in line to criticize and bury them? Sometimes personal relationships are more important than what everyone online wants to hear.
Just finding your podcast Conrad. GD you're a hell of an interviewer. Asking tough questions and not backing down, even from a wrestling legend. Mad respect.
This is an amazing episode. To hear Bruce admit to opening up now when he wouldn’t have years ago. You can hear it in his answers when they get to the final firing that he is lifting weight off his shoulders by answering these in a public forum. Congrats Bruce.
Bruce definitely took the high road on telling his side of the story....respect to him for not stooping low actually
High road ? Lol he’s the biggest company guy ever . He literally has never once spoke negative about anything WWF has done
Hi Bruce
@@jasonvoorhees6416 except when they hired Jerry Jarrett.
I've enjoyed several of the podcast episodes but it seems there is a lot that Bruce doesn't come clean about here. Either he did more than he is letting on, or Stephanie really did screw him over. Either way he won't talk about it, because he hopes to do business with WWE again in the future.
Rob Babecki well duh rob u just realizing this
He's under no obligation to reveal details he'd like to keep confidential, for whatever reason. These guys (like Prichard and Bischoff) aren't under oath while they're doing these podcasts.
There are some things they probably can’t disclose. Too risky for them.
He's apologizing too much but it makes sense now since he did go back to the wwe sort of with Something Else to Wrestle With
Well why would he cut ties for the sake of some shitty podcast
Bruce Prichard for the WWE HALL OF FAME!!! Let’s petition WWE!!!!
He does actually embody what Ultimate Warrior talked about when he said the people behind the scenes deserved recognition too.
I am from London and as a child really enjoyed WWF/WWE. Especially the golden era of the 80s and 90s. I regular watch the shoot videos and documentary’s of the wrestlers form that era . Out of everyone associated with wrestling from that time I would have to say that Bruce Pritchard is the most stand up , decent , nicest guy from that era .
He doesn’t get involved in any of the petty squabbles . He is honest about himself and doesn’t BS about anyone . So when he talks I listen and appreciate that it’s gonna be as accurate to the truth as it possibly can .
Stephanie was being a real tool and Vince should've stood up to her.
@@inutero10 exactly what it is says dummy
@@inutero10 that's not how he meant it clown so stfu bitchboy
@@inutero10 Clearly you don't understand context.
"I'm not going back anytime soon." ..... Famous last words.
Conrad thanks for being thorough...sometimes Bruce skips details(I'm sure there are alot so he can be excused for forgetting) and you always do a thorough job in getting the details for the listener.
Enjoyed listening to this entire podcast. Thanks for sharing all these stories with us. Thank you
After listening to this, I have a great appreciation for Bruce. Despite being screwed, he is still very gracious and professional in talking about WWE.
Well done to Conrad for getting the best out of Bruce.
I don't think it's fair to say he got screwed. I think he has made it clear he had attitude issues and clashes, which is what led to it. I think it could've been handled better on both sides, but I think he contributed fairly to his dismissal.
Bruce would have made a fantastic heel manager in WCW especially as after Halloween Havoc 1992 Paul Heyman was on his way out of there. Bruce played the same character a heel manager/commentator in Global Wrestling Federation in Dallas in 1991/1992 and WCW I feel did miss out not bringing in Bruce at that time. He would have brought so much behind the scenes also and probably would have been Eric Bischoff's right hand man once Eric got power considering how friendly they are. But even if WCW did make a real play for Bruce he probably would have went with his heart and went back to Vince and the WWF.
This was awesome I like how you pushed Bruce just enough to get something out of him. Good work!
God Damn I love Bruce's Vince Impression!
Goddamn pal!
sanchez501 and his dusty, macho Man, Cornett, Jerry jarrett, etc etc
well you know
Daven Watts and terry funk
Doot doot doot!
things make sense Shane and Bruce laughed and worked together Steph tries to control everything got to be her way. hints why smackdown is a better show
Female ego in a managerial role at the workplace......man I rather work for Michael Jordan General Patton and Vince Lombardi than to be under that.
The biggest problem with WWE creative today is being to PC. Years ago talent was allowed to be themselves.
I get that from a perspective as I'm 28 and the PG era just isn't my taste. But I see why they do it this way when considering the financial results. I think back to people like Bischoff pointing out that back in the day wrestling had huge ratings but because of the product content they couldn't monetize it. So I get it from a public company sense to do it the way they do, and it's hard to argue with their logic when considering they just reported their most profitable year ever.
Vince McMahon sounds like a straight arrow boss and would be the coolest but scariest boss to have.
After listening to these podcasts, Bruce has actually won me over....I think he was a positive creative force in the WWF/WWE....In my opinion, the true creative genius, however, behind wrestling's greatness in the 80's was Dick Ebersol. He was to Vince McMahon and wrestling what Joseph Campbell was to George Lucas and the original Star Wars.
Another great video , keep up the awesome work.
Thank goodness Bruce fought that hurricane with a gun.
Conrad: I have not heard anyone have as much fun as you and Brian. It's wonderful when something tickles the hell out of you. Makes the marks feel like we lived through the Blitz and the sun has just come out.
Sounds like a failure in leadership on Stephanie's part and, to an extent, Vince's too. Anybody that's ever been fired from a position that would be equivalent to lower-to-middle management can relate to what Bruce is saying here. There's always two sides to things, but I believe a lot of what Bruce had to say. I think he speaks of it all pretty graciously and doesn't sound like he harbors much bitterness.
He was trying to not burn bridges to come back. All the careful wording has apparently paid off now, he just gutted NXT along with Johnny Ace and Vince.
@@210Dinero The whole end of this podcast is blowing Stephanie.
Thanks for the insight Brother Love. This is someone who has a true respect for the business. No reason to dwell on hating someone and constantly trashing them. Love the show and am saving up for a Tshirt. Much respect.
Thanks for doing this fellas. Glad all is ok Bruce. It was an uncomfortable listen but in wanting to get to know Bruce i had to listen. God bless all 🙂
I wonder if Stephanie truly ever wanted to work for the company or just didn’t want to disappoint Vince.
Hard to say. She started working for WWF full time right after graduating college. And people like Bruce have said that she is a lot like Vince.
I don't think not working there would disappoint Vince. When Shane left the company for awhile he said that Vince was really proud of him venturing out for that endeavor so who knows.
In the end I can't imagine she regrets the decision. I'm not trying to say she isn't talented, but I feel it is fairly safe to say she wouldn't be in an executive role with a high six figure income and multi million net worth at the fairly young age of 45 now if she had simply gone to the free market.
I know Bruce always points out how hard Vince is on his kids, and as the child of a type A father I can certainly see how that is. That said I think she obviously has talent but she definitely flew up the corporate ladder much faster than a person would who wasn't family.
1:20:44 best podcast moment ever
Not going back there anytime soon and yet, he's back in the fold. This was a great podcast.
I think this episode was originally from 2017. So it was still like two years before he was back in the fold and I genuinely don't think he ever thought it'd be possible again considering he'd been gone for almost a decade at that point.
The interviewer asked REALLY great questions.
JR7827 Conrad is awesome!
The Lob Mob Conrad sucks ass
Hes both. He actually is a good interviewer asks good questions. Warm and friendly can joke around. Yet hes not afraid to call people out on their bullshit. It took me a while to realize this because of how much of a disgusting diarea shart of a human being he is.
He does seem to always try to protect himself though, he will start a topic about a certain individual, ask his interviewee for all the juicy details on them to bury them but then he'll clarify how much he personally likes that person in question so he doesn't burn his bridges with them.
Listening to this 3 years later & this sounds so much more like a job interview than a podcast. Lmao
Imagine Bruce heenan jr lol.
Love to hear about Heartbreakers. I am a Dickinson boy and it’s still here!
Solid interview
Listening to these two guys make each laugh is great. Their friendship is obvious.
when he got the call he fell to his knees and screamed no! please steph nooooo!
I feel like there’s more that Prichard isn’t saying about the gun and drugs/alcohol
Because there is. Most of this is lies
@@andrewisjesus Based on what exactly? The reports from the same two or three "journalists" that spent 15 years telling us Bruce only kept his job for so long because he kissed Vince's ass, only for those same "journalists" to turn round and tell us he was fired because Stephanie didn't like him arguing with Daddy in production meetings. These "journalists" really are the greatest workers in wrestling history based on how much of their contradictory bullshit wrestling fans will swallow.
Vic Crown you replied to a 2 year old comment just for that. Wow
@@ultraviolentlight2867 Well I'm replying to your 7 month comment, isn't that why UA-cam archives comments in the first place? Lol. I also think there's a lot more to the story and you can hear it in Bruce's voice. Not that it even matters now, the guys been back since 2018, still interesting stuff.
Respect for Bruce. Like he said "to the haters F you. Don't care." He and Conrad have a great show that is now being marketed by WWE. How can you not respect this guy? He's done so much in and for the wrestling business.
It sounds like Stephanie made things difficult for Bruce. If everything he is saying is true, It sounds like Bruce was in a no win situation by not being able to approve things, but @ the same time he would be in trouble if things wern't approved by a certain time. Bruce was around for 20+-years so Stephanie should have gave him more freedom to approve things when Stephanie wasn't Around or reachable. It sounds like they both could have put more of an effort in their working relationship. It's too bad that it got as bad as it did & it had to end like it did.
Stephanie was young at the time, and insecure. I'm sure present day, that she is secure in her job. If Bruce was working today for WWE (which he is, ironically), probably Stephanie would make Bruce her second in command. That is the mark of a good leader, to realize that good people, who may not always agree with you, need to be officially rewarded....
@@marknorth8904 She needs to go
I think they both have fault. But I can kinda see her perspective. If you let his actions slide then the team is going to continue going to him and never embrace you in your position of authority. I think it was just a shitty situation to put them all in really.
@33:15, I've been in that position many of times and I learned (fortunately, easily and quickly) to let the other person just take that hit. Stepping away when others are going to you about decisions that need to be made, is extremely frustrating, especially when everyone sees you as the decision maker. But, you know what? The people in charge put those others in charge for a reason and...call it throwing the other person under the bus all you want, but when things start to go bad, it will be you that will take the hit and you'll be removed by the person you're trying to protect.
U can tell on this podcast they were hoping 1 day to get on the network. They say absolutely nothing negative not 1 thing
I think it's a sign of maturity and adulthood to not burn your bridges. You have a lot more opportunities in life when you don't act like a child. And in the end it resulted in a WWE Network deal and Bruce returning. That's just smart business.
I love STW so much. I'm on hour 8 of listening today!
Ben Williams lol what a mark
Same
Also I totally believe Steph created or took that narrative and ran with it to get rid of Bruce. I’m sure he understands why this all happened but he’s way past this!
We love you Bruce! I know you have moved on to the next chapter of your life & I hope you continue to stay healthy & I wish you and your family the best!!!
And Conrad I wish you and your family the best too!! Don’t feel left out lol.
I doubt you & Conrad even read these comments but Oh well.
Pinnacle Productions shut up
@@Super122291
Haha
Go fuck yourself
If you havent figured out prichard is a compulsive liar yet, there is no helping you.
He totally dodged his drug issue and the gun thing that everyone around him said happened
@@Super122291 LMAO
God dam, pal, your FFFIIRRRRED!!! 😂😝😝
When Bruce says, "John Cena reached out" UA-cam's automatic closed captioning got that as "Bouncing her peach out"
We want Bruce back, Vince. Come on.
Done
Son of the brain would have been a perfect gimmick. I think bobby would have loved it too. After a few years it could have exploded where bobby says to do it this way and then you’d have a match between them to put one or the other in the famous weezel suit.
This was an amazing episode
Conrad is a damn good interviewer! First saw him on Dark side of the ring and been a fan ever since. Extra cool street cred to have being the nature boys son in law…
Bruce acknowledging his mistakes is to be respected. He admits he fucked up, and looks the consequences right in the eye. Bruce is a man's man.
He was in GWF during that first let go, he had a good run there
Conrads voice is so perfect and soothing to my Yankee ears. 😂 . I could listen to him read the yellow pages.
"Who's the hog watcher?" Best interview question ever, lol.
Gerald Morgan I picked up on that too. Hilarious
Best part of the whole interview I laughed so hard
This is one of the best eps 🙏
I'm pretty sure this guy is not Bruce, but instead Danny McBride pretending to be the guy who played Brother Love
I love your honestly. Didn't realize you were a fellow Texan. I think your great Bruce. It's their huge loss...
Chris Monk
*you're
@@timhurst1350 honesty while your add it.
I remember him on Mid-South Wrestling as a young kid, before the Brother Love character.
@@melbias5046 haha, is this sarcasm? He just corrected him for misspelling "You're", then you turn around and do the same thing.
@@jamesdjl4359 smart man!
Brother Love for hof
if you think this guy is going to spill his guts or be truthful, your out of your mind.
He wanna go back can't knock him .that's y corny way more fun to listen to..he doesn't give a fuck lmao
Can't blame him. That's what adults do. And in hindsight it resulted in the Network deal and Bruce going back. Think about the hundreds of thousands of dollars more he has made because he was smart about this.
it sounds like she used the time tested method of finding any reason to fire bruce b/c he disagreed with her.
Vince dosent care abt anyone except his family so he agreed w/ her and said ur fired
He only cares about Steph, because Shane is the weak one.
@@j.3o21 No he cares abt his family. But Shane didnt want to fight his own sister for the throne--imo
"Not going back there anytime soon" that didnt age well
He had every reason to believe that then
Stephanie heard this and said fuck that we're ruining his life hire his ass back
Further proof that the best Doctors in the country are in Houston...
I admire Bruce. Great memories and a Great career. Lol man he sounded Just like Dusty Rhodes.
Oh heavens, the geniuses of the UA-cam comment section are sure there’s still much more to the story. They may as well all change their names to Mark.
If you believe everything you hear on wrestling podcasts you're a mark.
First off according to several ppl HHH was the one in HBK ear not to loose to Bret during that sensitive period toward end of Bret's run in WWE..to say that HHH would be in same position if he weren't married to Stephanie he would still be COO of WWE is ridiculous...truth is were all on a journey and i think Bruce P. has landed in great place...this was great show.. chemistry with you guys is great!..By way Stephanie is wonderful caring person that went behind Chyna's back and ran around with HHH until she got him...Nice
Joseph Carrino please learn the difference between loose and lose.
if wwe were to bring back the brother love show it would be the highest rated segment on raw
Shit that should be happening every week.
false. best show on TV world wide
Love all the comments from people who think they know the business more than Bruce does.
T D I’ve been in the business for 500 years, I know my shit
What happened to him tends to happen to lots of people who stay in the same job too long. He wasn't a good fit to go higher in the company and he wasn't able to adapt to the changes in the area where he was able to work (creative). The guns and the party lifestyle didn't help.
Its also wrong to put all the heat on Stephanie McMahon. If Vince McMahon wanted Prichard around, he would have kept him around by putting him in another role. But he didn't.
Jim Tuner my assessment as well
Jim Tuner eat shit
Whenever I try to make a point about something, I'll say what Conrad Thompson says around 19:52-19:54.
Bruce is the man, love his cander.
I feel like a lot of people get upset when Bruce doesn’t confirm rumor and Innuendo. I’d imagine if Bruce pulled a gun on writers at a publicly traded company hed have probably been arrested and the company sued. I will say I believe he’s going out of his way to not bury Stephanie but for the most part I felt this was honest. The truth is rarely as entertaining as the sensationalism.
One thing I've noticed about Prichard, is even though he's been doing this for 30 or 40 years nobody ever says Bruce came up with this great storyline or he really helped out my career or anything. You look at his peers like Cornette, Heyman, Russo, etc. and all have their supporters, but I've never heard of a Prichard supporter. Even Cornette never sings his praises for anything he's done and he's friends with him. He's just known as a brown noser who has a good memory and does a lot of good voices.
Gene Anthony pretty simple: all you mentioned were closer to the talent and more on air characters...Bruce said many many times that as a writer you re always in trouble with the talent and never really liked...
Bruce had to go a long and hard way to his own „next“ mindset...still has to speak it out loud very often...
I've heard from several people that all of the McMahon's are very hard to work for. That they're bullies and demeaning, all but Shane that is. People say Shane is down to earth and easy to talk to and work for.
I've always thought HHH just went after Steph cuz of her last name. There are also creditable rumors that they have really fights quite a lot. I think everyone can agree Steph's work at creative has been awful and the ratings have gone down ALOT.
Rumor innuendo here 😆
She was head of creative from 2002-13. In 2002 the average raw rating for the year was 4.01 and in 2013 it was 3.0. So not necessarily the decline many attribute. But I also think people should recognize the de facto head of creative doesn't really matter. The final say has always and will always be Vince.
She's gone now in 2023
Not going back there anytime soon
Fast forward to 2019 who’s running smackdown?
Vince sounds like a good guy sometimes
As a British listener, I find it hilarious that they're even debating "if" he got fired for bringing a fucking gun to work, God Bless America!
Steph said "Cripples are good for marketing".......something like that.
Dredd Bustya DAM! I never did like her.
She tweeted "Philanthropy is the future of marketing"
I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF GOING THRU LIFE WITH A SHORT DICK
That's not how she wrote it, but yeah, that's what it meant in a nutshell.
She uses dying children for publicity. She and her company are pure evil.
No one here can truly comment or say what Bruce should or shouldn't have done....None of us have never came close to working for a rich world wide company and dealing with a boss like Vince!!!!...From 1987 until now 2021..34 fucking years Bruce has with the WWF/WWE...Lots of peaks and valleys ..but yet he is still there...goood for Bruce man...I got a ton of respect for him and like him lots for just who he has after getting to know his personality and who he is thru these podcasts......I picture smoking weed getting high as hell with Bruce and outtta know wherr does a Vince or Cornette impersonation...LOL...my guts would be hurting from laughing to hard hehehe....lovr thid podcast....Thanks guy and Conrad work ethic
Oh how things change...
Legend has it it’s a lot of rumor and innuendo behind Conrad’s line of questioning/interrogation 😂😂😂💪🏾
I don’t think he “pulled a gun on them”, but he likely showed it to them. Big difference
Bruce was surrounded by snakes man
it's the wrestling business (You can call it Sports entertainment if that makes you feel better) so that's what you should expect. Music and movie business is the same kind of shit. Everybody tryna position themselves and climb the ladder. If that means, someone else is out, so be it. Dog eat dog wold.
I mean, they're all snakes. Bruce politicked just as much as Russo, Cornette and others. (Not on Bischoff's level though. Eric was the ultimate backstabber.) Just look at how Bruce landed the EVP role at TNA. He was sitting at home after WWE fired him, Russo gave him a call to come in as a part-time producer.
I'm sure Russo thought he could take advantage of Bruce's knowledge whilst making Bruce think he "owed one" to Russo. Instead, Bruce immediately worked his magic on Dixie and got hired to a newly created role where Russo reported to him. They've all backstabbed each other at one point or another.
This show aged interestingly
Chat me up
The interviewer should let Bruce finish his own sentences.
Anyone else notice how many times Pritchard contradicts himself the more he tells the story?
Who???
I thought he was pretty fair in how he approached it and respect that he owned it.
Amazing interview 🧏🏾♂️🙌🏾
Anyone watching this after Bruce was hired back at WWE?
Stephanie should just have been a mom. Nepotism ruined the wwe
After this interview I'm now a Bruce fan.
I stopped watching WWE after Steph became head of creative, so I blame her for killing it for me. Suppose it’s on Vince too for the nepotism.
JD Potempa- For real?...
How long ago was this?...
Also, when did Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley take over as the head of the WWE's creative team?...
