Just what WWE needs, another Yes Man on the pile. You can believe it or not, but Bruce has said on many occasions on STWW that behind closed doors he would disagree often with Vince on an idea. Sometimes Vince saw it Bruce's way and sometimes he didn't. As soon as a final decision was made on an idea, EVERYONE agreed with it whether you liked it or not. In the end it's ALWAYS Vince's decision and I can see why Bruce (and many other creative team members) get the rep as a "yes man" in front of the talent when he may have argued hard the other way. Hear him defend the Triple H promos on Booker T from wm 19. He’s a yes man.

Since old is new again, I just like that in 2019 Jerry Jarrett may have a chance to come back also. Huh? Well you know, you take the Bayley and you have her work with Lawler, you know?

So I know he was brother love and people seem to think pretty highly or his podcast, but could someone maybe a give me a run down on things he has booked or written? Or maybe just point me down a Google hole. Everything I find is just about his podcast/personal life etc

Perople think I'm a yes man, what the don't see are the many arguments that happen in the phone through text, behind closed doors. But as the end of the day he is the boss, when he's made a decision I support and get on board, to put a unified front on. Otherwise I undermine both myself and him and it creates problems with other employees. Is Brice a yes man who never argued or someone that backs the final decision? I don't know but there is usually things going on that must employees don't ever know about.

I don't know but there is usually things going on that must employees don't ever know about. When you're defending your boss's indefensible decisions years after they happened and after you're even employed there, that's being a yes man. There is a difference between "You're the boss, what you say is what we'll do" and "You're the boss, so every decision you go with is the right one and will not be criticized". When something doesn't work, the difference between a yes man and a good employee is if they're willing to call out the idea for not working, and Pricahrd has pretty consistently defended the choices made even when they failed.

I'm interested in less about Prichard returning and more about all these backstage changes that have happened within these past few weeks. New agents, new producers, old talent being let go, this is interesting. Yeah what is happening? Mostly TNA guys too

It's weird how insular wrestling is in that you see guys like Prichard, Russo, Cornette et al get opportunity after opportunity in various levels of promotions over and over again. I'm not even knocking them for that either, it's just kinda funny that if you were ever in a certain position somewhere you will be in about four other places eventually.

Or maybe just point me down a Google hole. Everything I find is just about his podcast/personal life etc He was basically Vince's right hand man for the better part of 20 years. He ran the gorilla position, produced announcers, and was a writer and on the production team. I can't think offhand of things he's written, but he had a hand in most of the stuff that was done during his time there.

New agents, new producers, old talent being let go, this is interesting. Yeah what is happening? Mostly TNA guys too We really need to find out. A year ago Meltzer said Hunter's starting to get more of his people ready for his time to step up and now a year later we're seeing these changes so maybe that's it. It's going to be interesting reading the different backstage developments in the dirtsheets and articles. Given so much is changing we can actually see if it'll affect the product right then and there.

I’ll have to disagree. A yes man is someone that will agree with whatever a boss proposes before the fact and tell him it’s good even if they think it’s shit.

He hasn't, though. Here are some examples off the top of my head of things Prichard hated and buried on his podcast. - Katie Vick - Undertaker "killing" Paul Bearer in 2004 - hanging the Big Boss Man with a noose - Kennel from Hell - pretty much anything involving Ministry of Darkness Undertaker - pretty much anything that happened with the 2002 NWO He also has no problem throwing Vince under the bus if Vince was told something would bomb, did it anyway, and it bombed just like everyone told him it would.

He got fired because of the gun and I still think that Stephanie did it because she hated him. Let’s face it, Hayes has done much worse stuff and he’s still around. The hell does Hayes actually do even? The Moonwalk

Not for the drug issues. He admitted that while he did pills in the nineties that he also subjected himself to testing so the office would trust him. He got fired because of the gun and I still think that Stephanie did it because she hated him. Let’s face it, Hayes has done much worse stuff and he’s still around. The hell does Hayes actually do even? Well, he walks into the office and he starts his day with a doot doot doot And then around noon he takes his midday doot doot doot And then around 4:30 he gets his coat he does a little doot doot doot before going home

I've beard him state multiple times he hated a lot of decisions and tried to get them changed.

The requests for releases, the firings, the hirings and reshuffling of staff, something's going down.
I find it interesting too like someone else pointed out that Stephanie flat out didn't want Bruce back in the past, now here he is. That makes me think this is a Vince move and the question then begged is why, a solution to creative issues or something more?
I'm lukewarm to him being back. The man has some ideas, but he's a stooge and has some really backwards thoughts on women's wrestling. So to say I think he'll be good for the company as a whole is incorrect.
Nevermind while sometimes fascinating to listen to on his podcast, he also at times sounds as dated in his ideas and views as someone like Ole Anderson did by the 90's or Cornette has for the past decade. He doesn't provide what WWE really needs. A fresh creative mind.

He also defended Triple H and Flair telling Booker to carry the bags as not a racist angle.

I'm not even knocking them for that either, it's just kinda funny that if you were ever in a certain position somewhere you will be in about four other places eventually. Unfortunately wrestling is such a fringe business and a bubble that it’s not like you can hire an agency to search for wrestling bookers.

Fantastic News. It cannot be worse than it is now.
Wrestling people running a wrestling product, I'm all for it.
