I’ve been meaning to check this out since it was mentioned on STWW. It was even better than Bruce described it, thanks for sharing.

I love how Heenan wanted the segment to continue I wanted them to continue that segment. Nice how they predicted the whole "Owen was sick of being in Bret's shadow" thing via the huge pic of Bret and the tiny pic of Owen. |

So reo Rogers was supposed to be the new Bruce Pritchard character post brother love? Was it just him doing a dusty rhodes voice? I don't get it.

It really was only created because they needed a new color man for Superstars due to Jerry Lawler leaving for a few months. Prichard hated it enough that he managed to get Vince to drop it after a few weeks. Stan Lane, then Johnny Polo took over the spot until Lawler returned. |

I think Reo came out of nowhere on TV. I don't remember any promos, maybe just a picture of him on TV with "coming soon."
Did WWF have a Dusty obsession or something? I know he's funny to imitate but to make a character whose voice is all Dusty is pretty strange. Why not just bring back the Brother Love segment and have him do commentary.

Yeah, he really didn't last long. He did the Michaels/Hart home segment, he did a stage interview with Michaels at a taping and I can't think of much more specifically he did. And again, I don't remember any build up for him on TV. Who or what exactly was he supposed to be?

He should be nothing else but Brother Love.
