We recently covered Jim Ross’ s comments on Vince McMahon ‘s statement, and Good Ol’ JR felt that Mr McMahon was scarce. Bruce Prichard, however, has a different view.
WWE Executive Director sat down for a rare ‘Ask Bruce Anything’ session with Conrad Thompson for AdFreeShows.com.
Prichard began by naming Jesse Ventura as Vince McMahon’s best reporting partner. The WWE’s current creative chief said Vince McMahon was ‘awesome’ as a reporter.
Prichard explained that McMahon never called the act, and he even jokingly imitated the WWE boss. Bruce Prichard, however, noted that no one could relate the level of emotion that Vince McMahon gave to his statement.
“I’d say Vince preferred Jesse Ventura. Look, Vince was horrible. Vince never called sh **. It was like ‘Oh my, then from there, Yokozuna with an arm pull, wait a minute! He has it! One, two … oh no! ‘(Imitating Vince McMahon.) Vince’ s grids will take you on a journey no matter how emotional. find something that might resemble the emotional roller that Vince would give you. “
“At times it was built a little over the top, but it was, I mean, to this day, I still do the (mimics Vince McMahon). There were a lot of Vinceisms back in the day. ‘Oh, what a move!’. “
It was useless: Bruce Prichard on why Vince McMahon started commenting
Bruce Prichard revealed that Vince McMahon did not want to be a play-by-play reporter in the WWE. McMahon was forced to take on reporting responsibilities after the original boy left the company’s play-outs.
“I don’t think Vince ever said he was a good player. At first, of course, he was useless. His father-in-law walked straight out of it. one day, so, yes, that was why Vince had to do that work, without ever having done it before, and then, later on, it was, b It was the man. It was his face. It had been done for so long, but he persevered. “
Prichard first joined WWE in 1987, and remembered WWE actively trying to find a new play-by-play reporter back then.
“When I arrived in 1987, the sh **, the first or second month I was there, there was always a check for the next play-out. You know, even then, in 87. He didn’t do that. ‘He wants to do it. He wanted to find the right boy to come in and play. “
Vince McMahon’s statement still has many admirers to this day, but what do you think? What do you think of Vince McMahon as a reporter?
