Bill knew WHO to Bully and who not to bully. He wasn’t crazy!

[@alexandersauickie2152]

There’s a word for that. It’s called being a PUSSY. At least Dynamite Kid tried to bully everyone. Watts was a bitch who bullied whoever he could get away with.

[@Anthonys_S]

Very big of Bruce to say that he thought things that were wrong too, he explained things very well imo.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

Bruce admitting to being a homophobe earlier in his life gave my a little bit more respect for the man. Don't sugarcoat the past. Acknowledge and if need be confront it.

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

I dont think youre a homophobe just because you disagree with someones lifestyle. A phobia is actually irrational FEAR. No one fears homosexuals. Homophobic/homophobe is prolly a term that should cease to exist because it actually distorts the real feeling, disagreement.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

@@HereIsWisdom1318 You may very well have a point regarding the semantics. 'Racist' is also a technically flawed term. These days I think most people take 'homophobe' to mean 'hostile towards homosexuals'. It goes a little further than disagreement, I feel.

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

@@henrikschmidt3964 It doesnt go any further than disagreement. Mind you, im not talking about ppl who act physically towards gay ppl. THATS WRONG! What im saying is. If you just diagree with the act of being gat, theyll call it “homophobic” and no matter the word, just because you disagree, doesnt mean you have ill will.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

@@HereIsWisdom1318 But what the hell business is it of anyone, what other consenting adults get up to. How is it their place to 'disagree' I don't like figure skating, sushi or the American version of football, but I hardly condemn those that do. I am not a homosexual and the thought of having sex with another man repulses me on a personal level. But that's MY business and MY deal. Others feel differently and I whole-heartedly support that.

[@creoleDJ]

Kinda like how this country needs to confront it’s ugly past, acknowledge the mistakes made & bad things done, have meaningful conversations about it & what we as a country could do to learn from and prevent the past from repeating itself; as opposed to trying to ban teaching history in school. Yep!

[@toddrichardson8595]

Bruce is the only guy I know that can do a 2 hour Podcast and never answer a single question.. Classic

[@georgemaranville3305]

A few years ago I drove two hours to Detroit to watch and listen to him sit beside Jim Cornette and not answer questions. Well at least jim was there and stole the show.

Jeff Jarrett is also good at this.

Clear understanding and the truth break it down my friend

[@D2Kprime]

As evasive as we all know Bruce is on a myriad of subjects, it was nice to hear him to be 100% honest about Bill Watts.

[@Scorch1028]

Bill Watts is one of the most “despised” figures in pro wrestling history.

[@jonbourgoin182]

At this point I'm convinced you are purposefully not fixing the mic popping.

[@tylernelson3343]

Bill Watts wouldn’t have bullied Harley Race. That because Harley Race will have got in Bill Watts face.

[@StuUngar]

Scott Steiner got in Watts face and called him a fake tough guy and a piece of chit. Watts turned into Kool Aid

[@djpuplex]

Watts would have never bullied Somians like ming, Andre, Bad news, Stan Hansen, Black Jack ect. Would of love to see him Interact with Danny Hodge he would have been hooked and stretched quickly.

[@toddrichardson8595]

Nobody on the Planet was going to bully Ming/Haku..Arn Anderson told a story about Ming dusting off three guys in a bar who made the mistake of running their mouths to Ming..

[@swlabretwquint1311]

Watts and Hodge were good friends. Read Watts’ book. He has huge love and respect for Hodge.

[@djpuplex]

@@swlabretwquint1311 cause Hodges would have squashed Watts. Hodge was legit.

[@swlabretwquint1311]

Hodge would have squashed anyone.

[@creoleDJ]

A booking/creative meeting with Watts & Vince Russo in the same room would’ve been awesome! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RockandrollNegro]

Why does all of Conrad Thompson's podcasts have that weird popping noise that makes it sound like we're listening to a 70 year old vinyl record?

[@studbourbon798]

Dang , Bruce is bumpin up at the end .

[@creoleDJ]

Dee-Bo Watts…

[@shawnpatrick6038]

Watts may have been a good promoter in the early 80s but he was a pretty awful person.

[@freddiecongote6927]

I remember growing up in the early 80s and the N word was used frequently. I had to ask what the N word meant and being gay was a no no and you were gonna get bullied and get your butt kicked. if you were a women and you where wearing shorts forget it the whistling and baby comments came out. The World has changed for the better. I know my dad had a hard time accepting it i, But t was not until my sister came out that my dad started changing.

[@jeremybarber9780]

People don't like to go outside of their comfort zone and it's not a lack of intelligence or anything that makes somebody phobic to one's nature they have just never been around someone with that kind of Lifestyle so yes they're prejudging and that's not always a good thing to do but without them experiencing someone with that lifestyle and that they're no threat to their manhood then yes they're going to have a pre-existing notion toward a person of that lifestyle

[@John37255]

Sounds like a narcissist.

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

We were pretty much there on treating everyone equally until offense culture kicked into high gear about ten years ago. Too many people make a living off of turning us against each other.

Would have been funny to see Bill Watts try to bully Undertaker, Kevin Nash or Brock Lesnar.

[@jeffjackson9679]

Kevin Nash got sucker punched by him back in the WCW days (when he was Oz or whatever shitty gimmick he had). In the interview, Nash tried to make himself sound like a man taking it,, but (even in his own story) he pretty much took it like a bitch. That being said, Nash was really young to the business at this time, early 90's, so i get why he wanted to save his career vs. clocking that asshole in the face.

[@travismurell5228]

He did bully Kevin Nash.

[@freddiecongote6927]

@@jeffjackson9679 , I pro wrestled for a while when I was younger and when you are a rookie you have to take a lot of BS. There was some veterans That I knew I could mop the floor with but I took there BS but hey its part of paying your dues.

Kevin Nash???? LOL! Bro, Nash wasn't Jack! The Undertaker and For Sure Brock Lesnar, I totally agree with..

[@kellyweldon9054]

Taker was always professional so Watts would have had zero issues with him. Nash is a giant diva and hated being treated like everyone else.
