WWE Senior Vice President Bruce Prichard has worked alongside some of the top names in the history of wrestling and has revealed that, despite a reputation for being a challenge to manage creatively, former WWE Champion Hulk Hogan was ‘a dream’ to work with
Hulk Hogan a ‘dream’ to work with says Bruce Prichard
Whilst now occupying one of the top seats at the WWE Executive table, Prichard also once worked as an on-screen talent, most famously in the heel persona of Brother Love.
After debuting the character in 1988, the aggravating Brother Love would risk the wrath of stars such as Hogan, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts and Ultimate Warrior during his ‘The Brother Love Show’ segments, a show that would see the beginnings of a number of historic angles. He was also famously the first Manager of WWE Hall Of Famer The Undertaker.
Love would be a key figure during the late 1980’s and Prichard recently commented of his enjoyment of working with Hogan, the industry’s hottest star, during that time period.

It was amazing absolutely amazing, never felt anything like it, and it was the type of reaction that people only dream of. And here I am, in the ring with him and getting to experience it
