The Rockers episode sucked. I've read the Shawn Michaels book 2 or 3 times, and all Conrad did was read from it, and Bruce really didn't add anything new Had to be one of my least favorite episodes I thought this episode was great. I have always heard Shawn’s perspective, and the story of the Rockers has always been told centered around Shawn. I feel like this brought a lot of different perspective into Marty Jannetty. Also, Bruce gave insight info a few rumors and cleared some things up. I DM’d Conrad just to say this was one of my favorite episodes, I thought people would have been pretty excited about this one. I also liked it. It was more of a Marty episode than an HBK one.

I enjoyed it as well. I'm probably in the minority but I didn't remember the Chuck Austin story.

Given Bruce seems genuinely contrite, realising he should have cultivated a better relationship with her, who's to say it wont be a genuine moment? That would be nice, but I think she genuinely dislikes Bruce. It's just my opinion and I may be wrong, but I think she's the main reason why Bruce never returned to the wwe. Bruce said he called Stephanie asking for a job after tna fired him and she answered that they had nothing for him. That was weird, Bruce worked for the company for more than twenty years and gave invaluable contributions to the wwe but she just passed on him? This is the same company that apparently fired writers every week but they can't fit Bruce fn Prichard. Bruce didn't deserved to get fired. He told the head of security about the gun, and why he couldn't left it at his empty house, but Stephanie can't give him a pass? But apparently Michael Hayes still gets to keep a job despite all the shit he has done over the years. I don't it's she doesn't like him personally. It's that again she was the person in charge and everyone basically went to Bruce to ask things instead basically undermining her authority. Something he apparently did a lot.... that's a pretty good way to get fired from any job. As I said earlier in the thread I wouldn't be surprised if they throw him a legends contract eventually, but not a creative one.

I can't see Bruce taking a legends deal, he makes a decent living just with the podcast and shirts sales, the only way he would walk away from all of that would be by getting his old gig in the wwe.

Also, I have about an hour and a half left on the Rockers episode and I actually think it's been pretty good. I just read stuff about the Rockers when they first came in, the infamous ring incident with the rope breaking, but other than that, you just mostly hear about Shawn when you talk about the Rockers. I think it's been really informative and a great look into the carny way of business. Having to walk around and shake everyone's hands, like I get it, but it's such bullshit lol.

He probably wouldn't have to give up the podcast if he signed one. The main purpose of a legends contract is to give WWE and their partners permission to use a person's likeness in merchandise, especially action figures and video games.

No idea if the legends contract still does this,but it use to also give WWE the rights to the wrestler's gimmick. Which is why HTM refused to sign one for years.

That wouldn't be an issue with Bruce as he already can't use the Brother Love gimmick outside of WWE. HTM successfully challenged WWE's claims to his gimmick in the 1990s, since he was Honky Tonk Wayne in Canada prior to coming to WWE in 1986. Warrior did the same, pointing to his time as Dingo Warrior in WCCW using the same look as in WWE.

Yeah, Bruce must be in the good graces of WWE somehow. 90% of their shirts are a logo rip from the company, any other person would have gotten a cease and desist by now.

With Warrior the main reason he got to keep using the Warrior name was he legally changed his name to Warrior,Might be where Ryback got the idea. HTM mentioned in a shoot,from the early 2000s,about how WWF offered him a legends deal. But the money wasn't much and he would lose the rights to the HTM character.

HTM in his shoot with Raven said that another issue was that if he signed a legends contract, the wwe would need to approve of his dates in indy shows. Congratulations to Conrad and Megan, the Alabama Dream is gonna show her his low key big Hog!! Woooooo!

Warrior also used his look from WCCW as a reason he should own the character, as it proved WWE had nothing to do with creating it.

I just listened to my first episode of this series (Razor Ramon) and it was absolutely fascinating. Bruce is so honest and candid. Can anyone recommend any great episodes or is it in my best interest to just start from the beginning? I only started listening about a year ago, and my own personal favourites are the character specific ones. I enjoyed the Rockers episode, and also recommend the Rude, DiBiase and Savage episodes as other posters have. You might also wish to add the Mr Perfect one to the list. I found the episode on the Steiners disappointing, and apparently the Austin walking out episode is pretty bad too - even Conrad admits it. The joy of the podcasts is being able to jump into any one of them any time you feel like it, hence I've just listened to the Piper and steroid trial episodes.
