1) Backstage Power In WWE
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Bruce Prichard has a lot of pull on the WWE creative team. He is said to be the most powerful person in the company, who is not a member of the McMahon Family.
All of this power has led to a lot of frustration and backstage heat towards Prichard from the WWE locker room. Here is what Johnson wrote:
The current creative for WWE right now falls directly in the hands of Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard. In fact, there are some who have described Prichard to PWInsider.com as the most powerful person in WWE right now other than a McMahon family member.
Creatively, everything flows through Prichard at the moment and his word has been described as “very much the Gospel” for Vince McMahon, which as you might imagine, being in that position translates into a lot of frustration and heat towards Prichard among talents privately.
My Take:
- This seems like a classic Vince McMahon move. He has built Bruce up as the guy to take all of the blame when his talent gets upset. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out over the next few months.
