It's an honor this episode, to spend an hour speaking with former top guy in WWF/WWE creative and former VP of talent and programming in TNA, Bruce "Brother Love" Prichard. Coming up on January 25th at 1 PM at Dave & Buster's in Philadelphia, Mr. Prichard will come face to face with former WCW President, Eric Bischoff, for a Monday Night Wars debate, in a room full of fans, moderated by none other than Chris Jericho!On tonight's episode, we focus on the Monday Night Wars, in the spirit of the upcoming debate. We discuss the night Nitro debuted and Lex Luger's jump to WCW, the early days of the NWO and the impact of Hulk Hogan's heel turn, and the Pillman-Austin gun angle (including a story Prichard has never told before!) From there we move on to the entry of Vince Russo into McMahon's inner circle, whether or not Prichard feels the criticism Russo feels is fair, and of course we talk about the Montreal Screwjob. Does Bruce think Vince was justified? We move onto some of the bigger moments of 1998, including Goldberg's WCW World Championship win over Hulk Hogan, and WCW's big signing of The Ultimate Warrior. Did either event worry the WWF? We wrap up with some discussion as to whether or not the jump of Russo & Ferrara concerned the WWF braintrust, how the closure of WCW and the subsequent purchase by the WWF has affected the business to this day, and whether or not Paul Heyman's claims of ECW's influence on WWF Attitude are true or exaggerated...all this and more!Please visit RFVideo.com for more information on the Bischoff-Prichard Monday Night Wars debate, moderated by Chris Jericho! Tickets for the debate, and meet and greets with all the participants are available!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3475952/advertisement
