Bruce Prichard shares a hilarious story about the late Yokozuna.

“Yokozuna put me to sleep in a bar one night with a front face-lock,” Prichard said.

When pressed by co-host Conrad Thompson over the reason for the incident, Prichard simply responded by saying he had been messing with him.

“I’ve been f*cking with him all night. I was f*ucking with him and then boom! He laid me down and took good care of me and stayed with me until I came to. [He] laughed his ass off, he thought it was the funniest shit,” Prichard said.
