Hell yes...have you seen his Roddy Piper impression? His brother Tom does a better Piper impression. Hell, made a career out of it.

I have been listening to his podcast and really enjoy it. I have heard and seen him since I became a fan, but honestly, I have never really known exactly what he did and brings to thw table. He has been at the tippy top of the wrestling business duri.g the biggest highs and been around forever. What is it that he brings to the table? Well, he was Brother Love for many years. But yeah, he's no Dr.Tom.

His Jerry Jarrett impression negates every wrong thing he ever did on wrestling.
In all seriousness apart from developing the undertaker gimmick (Vince didn't saw star potential in Mark Callaway), he also was an early Austin supporter, Vince didn't like Austin and only saw him as a mechanic in the ring.

I moreso meant what does he bring to the table behind the camera that allowed him to be a top executive in thw wrestling business for over 20 years.

In wrestling cream doesn't always rise to the top, it's the guy who's the best at kissing the right backsides and that's where Bruce's real talents lay, even now he's lips to backside with the WWE in the hopes they'll rehire him.

I love the idea that they saw nothing in the Undertaker before Bruce Prichard got involved, a nearly 7 foot tall guy who can pull off a some physically impressive spots at a time their previous giant had retired and they were taking similarly gifted guys like Earthquake, Sid and Yokozuna and pushing them to the top of the card to feud with Hogan, Savage and Warrior. It smacks of the same 'It was all me!' stuff we hear from Russo, taking credit for Austin and Rock.

He knows how to perfectly combine how to get someone over and make an angle compelling in a wrestling medium with how to produce compelling television in a week-to-week broadcasted product. Very, very few can do both. He's talented.

He played Reo Rodgers which I'm pretty sure was a dig at Dusty Rhodes. He has the accent and had a "if you wheel" kind of way of talking. Character didn't last long, I think a few segments in fall 1993. He did a visit to the "Hart" house (fake Stu and Helen) with Shawn Michaels for a Survivor Series special. After that I don't really recall him being around. I guess it was just a small way to bring him back on TV without going back to Brother Love. He was already employed, not like they are bringing in anyone special. That's exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks! Also used as the shadowy figure in the pretape before the debut of DustyDust.

I dunno but he loooooves yeeew Old Yew, which graspest at the stones That name the under-lying dead, Thy fibres net the dreamless head, Thy roots are wrapt about the bones. The seasons bring the flower again, And bring the firstling to the flock; And in the dusk of thee, the clock Beats out the little lives of men. O not for thee the glow, the bloom, Who changest not in any gale, Nor branding summer suns avail To touch thy thousand years of gloom: And gazing on thee, sullen tree, Sick for thy stubborn hardihood, I seem to fail from out my blood And grow incorporate into thee. Alfred, Lord Tennyson~ In Memoriam to A.H.H.
