Bruce Prichard (Brother Love) recently spoke with The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast. During the interview, Prichard elaborated on how he earned the trust of WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon.
Prichard: “I’ll tell you what he used to say and it was nobody there nobody who disagreed with him more. Which is kind of funny because a lot of people always classify someone who has been there that long as a kiss-ass. I have a completely different viewpoint of the business than Vince does and a lot of opinions we share, I think over the years we grew to kind of think the same way on some things. For the most part; I disagreed with him a lot and would disagree with him to his face and we had a lot of knockdown-drag outs. I learned through the years how to travel through those land mines of arguments and Pat Patterson had said to me that I should maybe choose my words a little better and I incorporated the two most important words in my vocabulary which are “what if”.”
“So instead of saying something sucks and your idea is horrible, to just think about it for a minute, try it on and offer an alternative as “what if” we did it this way and it is a lot more palatable than that sucks. He never had to wonder where I stood on something, I’d tell him point blank and never had to sugarcoat it.”
