During a recent episode of his podcast, “Something To Wrestle With,” Bruce Prichard spoke about the possibility of Jim Cornette’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Prichard expressed his admiration for Cornette, saying: “I love Jim. I believe he fully deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, and I hope one day that he will be.” He also spoke candidly about his lack of recent communication with Cornette, noting: “My phone works two ways. I’ve made my feelings known and won’t continue to reach out repeatedly.”
He also shared his thoughts on whether Gorilla Monsoon would have taken the roles filled by Pat Patterson or Gerald Briscoe in Mr. McMahon’s entourage, stating: “I’m not sure. Gino [Monsoon]’s ego might not have permitted him to do that job.”
In a similar vein, during an episode of his podcast, “Poddin’ Ain’t Easy”, The Godfather, a WWE Hall of Famer, shared his recollections of Vince McMahon telling him he’d be joining the Nation of Domination in WWE. He recalled McMahon saying, ‘Tonight, we’re gonna put you in the Nation of Domination.’ He further disclosed that his role in the Nation was to enhance its scale and diversity.
He also talked about being relieved to transition out of the Papa Shango persona, as he found the makeup quite burdensome, saying: “That was the happy day of my life. I was relieved not to deal with that fking makeup anymore.”
