Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman Talks About WWE Re-Hiring Bruce Prichard for The Creative Team

Jake Lee Added To 4/27 NJPW Road To Wrestling Dontaku

"They just wanted Bruce Prichard back in WWE so he’s not doing other things. This is just my take, it just comes from my speculation. Educated guess on my part. Nothing against Bruce, because I am big fan. And he’s a brilliant guy. But creatively, I don’t think they really want the antiquated creative process.... I think it’s just more like ‘okay, alright Conrad {Thompson} you want to dabble around with the Undertaker? We’ll take that and we’ll put him right over here. You can have an Undertaker and we’ll take us a Brother Love.’...There are consequences sometimes for business decisions. And it definitely wasn’t wrong of Conrad to reach out, I mean that’s what I would have done too. But If you don’t think some of these things aren’t going to ruffle feathers, c’mon. Conrad is the nicest guy in the whole universe of wrestling, I think he’s one of the nicest guys I have ever met, period.  And that good will goes a long way… I am spewing all these speculations and it’s all just speculating, cause even though I know everybody, I don’t get on phone and ‘Oh, tell me the scoop.’...Bruce will be an asset to the competition, like AEW if they have a really good TV deal, and like I said he’s a brilliant guy. And he’s also a pretty good on-air character too. He’s a really good one. Okay, he’s just being brought on as a member of creative, that’s technically the department, but it’s more of a man that maybe will wear many hats."
