Also, it may be a pipe dream but they said in the XFL podcast that if they get not only 1,000 reviews that they'll do a bonus episode, but if they get 2,000 they will do an episode on why Bruce got fired from WWE. Conrad even said "Dude, that would involve you dropping big names. You gonna keep your word" and Bruce said he would. Hopefully he gets hired back in some capacity before that because if Stephanie doesnt like him now, she'll want his blood if he shoots on his dismissal Mike "Nova" Bucci claimed in his rf shoot that Bruce got fired because he pulled a gun on a writer, I hope its rumor and innuendo although it's a pretty funny sight picturing Brother Love with a gun...that rumor has got to be bullshit.

Even if the gun thing were true, he'll never admit it. There have been a lot of trivial things discussed on the show so far where he insists something didn't happen, even though multiple other former WWE employees at the time all verify that it did happen. He either has a poor memory and insists that he's always right even when he's incorrect, or he has no qualms about flat out lying about things when it's convenient during a discussion. One example would be the situation where WWE reimbursed ECW for the missed revenue from a deal pertaining to 2 Cold Scorpio's entrance music after WWE signed him as Flash Funk. At this point it's common knowledge, and it was discussed in detail on the Heyman WWE documentary. Prichard insisted it never happened and refused to accept it, just so he could "win" the conversation/argument.

He definitely fudges details but ya gotta remember he did a f*** ton of drinking and drugs. His memory is gonna be inaccurate at times. Ive heard that he was peeing in a cup once a week for most of the end of his run. Then he crossed Stephanie in a creative meeting and she politicked to get him let go.

I think the appeal is that is a fan and a professional, so it's not two schmucks talking wrestling, nor is it a pro or two pros just shooting the shit, and you as a fan feel like you don't belong.

Does this mean we'll get two bonus episodes? I believe so And 2000 gives us a third? Man, Conrad is that dude. I hope they're making some good money off of all this work.

If he was THAT f***ed up at the time, she may have been fully justified in doing so. That sounds like a bad situation waiting to happen.

I love the content but the commercials are becoming far too intrusive and frequent.

I'm torn on what to vote for this week. I love all three events on the poll. I have no interest in Chyna, but Conrad wants her to win because he thinks it will make for the best stories.

I actually contacted Tommy Boy Records after hearing the Heyman story on the DVD back in 2014, and the song in question (Tag Team's "Whoomp! There it is!") isn't even part of the Tommy Boy Records catalog. Glad to hear Prichard confirm it as bullshit.

Like he got really specific coming up with his bullshit, chances are that he came up with that story so that he could con the wwe for money when Scorp went there. Paul Heyman truly is a slimy worm.

Houston Wrestling at this point is a running joke and will never win a poll.

Like he got really specific coming up with his bullshit, chances are that he came up with that story so that he could con the wwe for money when Scorp went there. Paul Heyman truly is a slimy worm. Honestly, because that's just who he is. I was such a staunch defender of him, but after speaking with Tommy Boy, it really makes clear what Paul's brand of honesty is. Like you said, it's really specific and very detailed, because why would anyone make up so many well-connecting parts of the same fib? He starts with something that's true so that a remote plausibility can be factored. In this case, it's ECW's relationship with Tommy Boy Records. People already vaguely knew a relationship did exist between ECW and Tommy Boy because Tommy Boy would pay to advertise during their weekly show, ECW would thank them (And Matador Records) at the end of each program and Perry Saturn had a cool cameo in House of Pain's "Fed Up" music video. That's all documented, undisputed truth. It's upon that clear-as-day knowledge and our willingness to hear things out upon that which gives us the desire to have the benefit of the doubt. We know Scorpio came out to a popular rap song "Whoomp! There It Is." Most people couldn't tell you the name of the label it was released on (Life Records, who mostly dealt with urban dance music in the early 90s) which makes the idea that Tommy Boy released the song (as they had a number of similar contemporary arena-party songs at the time like "Jump Around," "Hip-Hop Hooray," "Come Baby Come") entirely believable. Then, make it under the guise of a boring licensing/business deal spoken in a "long story short" manner, and you have a snappy soundbite of an explanation. That's how Heyman gets away with it. That's why Prichard probably got to upset at that particular part because, hearing it from anyone's mouth other than Heyman you realize how ridiculous that sounds. ECW never paid for the entrance music it used. Former ECW talent will tell you that Heyman exercised the "fair use" rule of "under 15 second and it's fine," which I truly believed those wrestlers in question believed, but that's completely not true nor is it how the music business actually works. ECW flew enough under the radar where they could use Metallica, Guns N Roses, etc. and get away with it. The reason you'd see promotional videos intercut with footage from the song's original music videos is because at that point in the music industry, music videos were still part of a legal gray area and any broadcast of them was seen as free promotion (MTV didn't even begin paying royalties for videos aired until 2009). Presumably, in the mid-90s, ECW could make the case it was just a music video/music showcase show that happened to use wrestling as that vehicle. When they actually did start getting ad space purchased from indie labels like Matador and Tommy Boy (for actual commercials), you'd head their artists' music used a lot more in the program itself. But a record label saying "We'll give you money to play our song" is not just asinine, but would perhaps even fall under the banner of payola and be illegal. There's no way any functioning highly-successful label like Tommy Boy would do that. That's why Prichard got upset. It's a ridiculous argument and speaks to Paul's talents that he got so many people (myself included) to even think for a second that it could be true.
