He doesn’t get involved in any of the petty squabbles . He is honest about himself and doesn’t BS about anyone .

I get that from a perspective as I'm 28 and the PG era just isn't my taste. But I see why they do it this way when considering the financial results. I think back to people like Bischoff pointing out that back in the day wrestling had huge ratings but because of the product content they couldn't monetize it. So I get it from a public company sense to do it the way they do, and it's hard to argue with their logic when considering they just reported their most profitable year ever.

I wonder if Stephanie truly ever wanted to work for the company or just didn’t want to disappoint Vince.
@Matt-cr4vv2 жыл бұрын
Hard to say. She started working for WWF full time right after graduating college. And people like Bruce have said that she is a lot like Vince. I don't think not working there would disappoint Vince. When Shane left the company for awhile he said that Vince was really proud of him venturing out for that endeavor so who knows. In the end I can't imagine she regrets the decision. I'm not trying to say she isn't talented, but I feel it is fairly safe to say she wouldn't be in an executive role with a high six figure income and multi million net worth at the fairly young age of 45 now if she had simply gone to the free market. I know Bruce always points out how hard Vince is on his kids, and as the child of a type A father I can certainly see how that is. That said I think she obviously has talent but she definitely flew up the corporate ladder much faster than a person would who wasn't family.

Bruce would have made a fantastic heel manager in WCW especially as after Halloween Havoc 1992 Paul Heyman was on his way out of there. Bruce played the same character a heel manager/commentator in Global Wrestling Federation in Dallas in 1991/1992 and WCW I feel did miss out not bringing in Bruce at that time. He would have brought so much behind the scenes also and probably would have been Eric Bischoff's right hand man once Eric got power considering how friendly they are. But even if WCW did make a real play for Bruce he probably would have went with his heart and went back to Vince and the WWF.

@33:15, I've been in that position many of times and I learned (fortunately, easily and quickly) to let the other person just take that hit. Stepping away when others are going to you about decisions that need to be made, is extremely frustrating, especially when everyone sees you as the decision maker. But, you know what? The people in charge put those others in charge for a reason and...call it throwing the other person under the bus all you want, but when things start to go bad, it will be you that will take the hit and you'll be removed by the person you're trying to protect.

One thing I've noticed about Prichard, is even though he's been doing this for 30 or 40 years nobody ever says Bruce came up with this great storyline or he really helped out my career or anything. You look at his peers like Cornette, Heyman, Russo, etc. and all have their supporters, but I've never heard of a Prichard supporter. Even Cornette never sings his praises for anything he's done and he's friends with him. He's just known as a brown noser who has a good memory and does a lot of good voices.

Gene Anthony pretty simple: all you mentioned were closer to the talent and more on air characters...Bruce said many many times that as a writer you re always in trouble with the talent and never really liked... Bruce had to go a long and hard way to his own „next“ mindset...still has to speak it out loud very often...

As a British listener, I find it hilarious that they're even debating "if" he got fired for bringing a fucking gun to work, God Bless America!

I feel like a lot of people get upset when Bruce doesn’t confirm rumor and Innuendo. I’d imagine if Bruce pulled a gun on writers at a publicly traded company hed have probably been arrested and the company sued. I will say I believe he’s going out of his way to not bury Stephanie but for the most part I felt this was honest. The truth is rarely as entertaining as the sensationalism.

The first portion of this podcast is a crystal clear example of a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. A key life lesson is verbal agreements are ok until they aren't. Get it in writing. People have all kinds of ideas in their head and will tell you about them but until it's in writing(or a very firm verbal commitment), it's not real and treat it as such.

I don’t think he “pulled a gun on them”, but he likely showed it to them. Big difference

I've heard from several people that all of the McMahon's are very hard to work for. That they're bullies and demeaning, all but Shane that is. People say Shane is down to earth and easy to talk to and work for. I've always thought HHH just went after Steph cuz of her last name. There are also creditable rumors that they have really fights quite a lot. I think everyone can agree Steph's work at creative has been awful and the ratings have gone down ALOT.

She was head of creative from 2002-13. In 2002 the average raw rating for the year was 4.01 and in 2013 it was 3.0. So not necessarily the decline many attribute. But I also think people should recognize the de facto head of creative doesn't really matter. The final say has always and will always be Vince.

it's the wrestling business (You can call it Sports entertainment if that makes you feel better) so that's what you should expect. Music and movie business is the same kind of shit. Everybody tryna position themselves and climb the ladder. If that means, someone else is out, so be it. Dog eat dog wold.

I mean, they're all snakes. Bruce politicked just as much as Russo, Cornette and others. (Not on Bischoff's level though. Eric was the ultimate backstabber.) Just look at how Bruce landed the EVP role at TNA. He was sitting at home after WWE fired him, Russo gave him a call to come in as a part-time producer. I'm sure Russo thought he could take advantage of Bruce's knowledge whilst making Bruce think he "owed one" to Russo. Instead, Bruce immediately worked his magic on Dixie and got hired to a newly created role where Russo reported to him. They've all backstabbed each other at one point or another.

One thing in this podcast stood out to me. They just casually mentioned "some NFL background" when talking about the fact they had a Hall of Fame quarterback (I'd probably put him in the top 10 all time) running security. How ridiculous does your life have to be if that's just some casual aside?
