If we get a TNA style funeral segment again it'll have been worth it. Tna is only good at booking funerals So good that they've dragged their own out for years.

You understand why he was fired and the whole gun incident and the drug issues, right? He HAD to be fired. Depends if you believe Nova's version of the story (Bruce pulled a gun on a writer) or Bruce's version (he informed the head of security he had the gun on him and asked advice on how to get it home). Bruce freely admits he was a problem for Stephanie at the time and didn't shoot down the suggestion that maybe the whole thing was deliberately blown out of proportion just to get him out of her hair. As for drugs, I don't recall hearing he had any issues after the early-'90s, but even if there were, they could've sent him to rehab. Bruce would go over Stephanie's head and directly to Vince. (She couldn't; stand that) just as she couldn't stand Heyman being successful and standing up to her infinite control freak wisdom. From all reports she's a real problem and stifles any real growth and better off in the role her mom had with WWE than her father's role

So, if Stephanie is the head of creative, and Vince is putting Prichard in a "top creative role"... how the hell is THAT going to work?

Stephanie doesn't have anything to do with creative any more, she's in charge of branding, so it won't be an issue this time around. HHH is talent relations, so he won't have much to do with t either.

Ed Koskey is head of Raw creative, Road Dogg is head of SDL's creative. They report to HHH, who reports to Vince, as the overall head of creative, in that he has final say.

It will be interesting to see how much of a difference this will make.

Or his comments about Sasha. I'm not sure what you're referring to in regards to the latter part. But in 2016 he apparently said that he'd fire Sasha Banks, Sami Zayn, and Finn Balor. Well in that case, I hope he doesn't stick around too long.

I’m hopeful about all these changes. Anything to potentially shake up the monotony of the WWE product is a good thing. I rarely watch an entire show anymore. I hope these changes give me a reason to watch. I can’t hate watch stuff or watch out of devotion so I’m hoping this will lead to the show being enjoyable again.

Good for Bruce. Working for Vince is like his only duty in life in his mind. He obviously never wanted to leave and would do anything (even look like a fool in his own podcast) to kiss the company’s ass. With that said, 2012-13 TNA is now 2019 WWE. Just need 17 Aces and Eights segments a week to make the transition complete. If we get a TNA style funeral segment again it'll have been worth it. Can we get teleporting bully ray?

Well in that case, I hope he doesn't stick around too long. Nevermind that I actually deleted that post because I saw a response from him on Twitter. It was a fan who said that Bruce Prichard would fire those three. Bruce Prichard's response was that he wouldn't fire them he would protect them.

Even if he did fire them so what? Balor is fighting heavyweights and he weighs 120 pounds. For Christ sakes I was bigger than he is in 7th grade. Why does he get to fight on the main roster when you got 205 where he belongs?? Kind of a double standard there? he's the only tiny guy who doesn't have to be on 205. Instead he's been a world "heavyweight" champion and he isn't a heavyweight. . Zayne is a jobber basically. Sasha is fine. But WWE would go on without her if she's gone.
Prichard is more storyline/Star/Larger than life character driven than "Work-rate".. And obviously the "work-rate, 5 star match thing" aint drawing. Just as it NEVER has

I've always said you need individuals like Bret Hart, Scott Hall, Jake, and DDP as agents/writers who know how to build characters and tell stories. They would be the ones who could craft unique and fresh ideas. I think Hall goes and helps train at the performance center every now and then. Bret doesn't get a long with Trips and Stephanie (Or he's had bad things to say about them in the past) from my understanding. So probably he isn't welcome there politically. He's spoken out about many of the agents and the family over the years. Prichard/Conrad have far and away the best podcast ever so that kind of sucks though I always knew Bret didn't practically care for Hunter. He mentioned in a past interview that he's trying to like him still. Pretty interesting that he was able to forgive and make peace with Shawn in the grand scheme of things. I am thinking he'll never fully forgive Hunter for his role in the Montreal Screwjob.

I’m happy for the guy personally, cause cast out, you can tell he wanted to go back home..
But creatively, I don’t think it’s the best idea.

Now he's going to be even more disingenuous on STW (assuming they allow him to keep doing it).

The position HHH is currently in, Ive also always wondered if it was Bret who was supposed to have that job since I heard Bret was supposed to get a Long term ambassador type deal with WWE. Something like 20 years

To be fair, Shawn didn't have much to do with the Screwjob beyond playing his part, and at least comes across as being genuinely ashamed of his behaviour in the '90s and early 2000s. Easier to forgive someone like that than someone like HHH, who sees the means being worth the end, and offers no apologies.

If I’m Bray Wyatt, I just got a huge boner. Prichard loves booking macabre and supernatural angles with biblical references.
