The first segment was the best, 0 to whenever, Dr. made to great points

[@manifestualdestiny2057]

"Everybody knows fucking G.G. Allen" when Tom Prichard makes a CKY reference you know hes down! Haha😂

[@mattebertmusic8135]

Your polite...you keep the focus on the interviewee....good old school journalism 👍Thank you for posting the full interview. I will watch the entire video....BUT I AINT WATCHIN NO CLIPS EVER

[@williamspitznagel1811]

Another classic interview from James. So enjoy his conversations

[@UNCFIPP]

Have you seen Ding Dongs??? Nah... Just my own... 😂 😂

[@LymanMcLallen]

All of your interviews are good but this one stands out.

[@JD_Power]

Heavenly Bodies in SMW was great. Check out their hallway brawl with the fantastics.

[@canadiens5]

I wish I had $1 for everytime Tom Pritchard hits the desk with his hand

[@markcafebrown2883]

Love Dr Tom Prichard. His brother Bruce showed us all how to love…. I LOOOOOVE YOU JAMES

How cool are the wwf golden era graphics!

[@ryanschmidt8327]

Akbar was hilarious...Ted Dibusey promo 😆

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

the way Dr Tom could get heat by just teasing his hair whilst walking to the ring was great! him and Jimmy Del Rey, amazing

[@kevinkelly1529]

*He Not him

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

@@kevinkelly1529 thanks.

[@BOBBYSOX86]

Tom is the man! Great worker and he seems like a cool genuine person. He doesn't come off as a sleazy used car salesman like his brother Bruce.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

The Heavenly Bodies were a throwback team that could work with anyone .

[@ApothecaryGrant]

Yukon Eric's ear is a well told bit of wrestling folklore

[@MaestroDawg65]

My Dad had on a dress at his Christening. But it was 1932, and my Grandma probably found a hand-me-down for him.

[@derikvanderford3443]

He said I've been in space a few times 🤗

[@johnjagodzimski2158]

Tom Prichard should do a podcast if he feels like it. I wouldn't doubt if he was asked before. I think he would rival Cornette's show or come close anyway, JMO.

[@bryanforis1839]

When I had cable in Arizona I had Texas wrestling and 2 Texas were I saw lightning kid with mother and wcw

[@spaniardprince]

What a cool dude.

[@johnjagodzimski2158]

Tom Prichard and Fit Finally were the reason why the woman's divison in the WWE became what it is.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

The Fabulous Ones were huge in The Memphis area but to my knowledge The AWA was the only big promotion that used them and they never won the gold . They are the Woulda Coulda Shoulda posterboys of tag team wrestling

[@greglozano64]

Rather listen to Dr. Tom over Bruce anytime

[@bkblair71]

That's because Bruce likes to kiss ass.

[@COYBIG1967]

Admit it… how many ppl thought Toms dog story was real at first, I did 😳🙈

[@marcusbrothers5221]

Bruiser Brody was a sports writer in his civilian life as Frank Goodish . It makes sense that he would support exposing the business

[@Oldguy1900]

I literally had to look Dr.Tom up and watch a few of his matches to remember him,not being a big fan of wrestling but did watch it when it was the WWF on Saturday's I belive it was on. I had no idea who Jim Cornette was till about 3 years ago came across his KZbin stuff, and the only reason I recognized him was because of the tennis racket.

[@russblack443]

Love Dr. Tom,he tells it like it is,has such a great understanding of how things work and can explain it so any One can understand. Also like Don,he doesn't just bury people who he doesn't care for. If he doesn't like them he will just say he doesn't know much about them. Too many of these guys talk shit about people because they are jealous. Super glad he talked about Mark Lewin,if you get a chance ask him more about Gary Hart. Gary was one of the best minds ever in wrestling and nobody ever gives him the credit he deserves. Probably because he didn't put up with people's bullshit. Also Gino was brought in to Detroit to work for the Sheik by Gary Hart. They put the U.S. title on him at 18 years old. I think it was a big mistake to not try and run with him as far as they could. Even at that age he had it and BTW definitely needed young guys because they had aged out like Dick the bruiser and the crusher.

[@scottmitchell3591]

Dr Tom I'm glad to see you not fluffing and scratching your head of hair! Lol Great interview with the doctor.

[@williammitchell4417]

Doctor Tom... As Bruce would say... I love you, I don't have to like you, but yeah... he's great. James is doing a good job.👍 Orange Cassidy with his hands in his pockets... Yipes!!!

[@s.mas.w]

Please ask more about Continental! Pritchard was there for many years under Fuller and David Woods ownership. He should have vast knowledge of this little known territory

[@DarkLordofTheSith69]

Could listen to Dr Tom all day ...im a huge fan of Bruce too and u can see how Tom has rubbed off on Bruce

[@williammitchell4417]

Hate to disagree... Bruce rubbed off on Tom!!

[@DarkLordofTheSith69]

@williammitchell4417 Tom's older though

[@williammitchell4417]

@@DarkLordofTheSith69 my point exactly. Tom and Bruce got into the business together. They both got their start with Paul Bosch.

6:52 I get tired of older people saying there's no 'bands' or good rock music out there today, there is - it's just not promoted anymore, in fact there's actually too many bands out there instead of too little but only the corporate cookie cutter pop rock fodder gets airplay or mainstream attention. The business model changed, they're not looking for unique bands anymore, they want everything to sound the same or fit a mold. If you wanna find a good band you gotta know where to look and seek it out online, good new music isn't served up on a silver platter like it was in the 60s, 70s and 80s and the cream no longer rises to the top in most cases, bands that would've taken over the world in the 70's are now playing clubs instead of arenas.

[@TheRoyalHour]

But, if that’s the case, that means he’s correct. If they aren’t marketed and visible, it’s out of sight and out of mind. In a world full of rock bands, there are no rock stars. Oversaturation is a real thing.

[@basedpatriarch]

Finally someone that makes Bruce seem exciting!

[@kenbrohere]

Went to high school with Tom.

[@HibikITMD]

Hangman Page is definetly a guy who I dont feel. Its so un genuine

[@TheRoyalHour]

I’m shocked that he didn’t name Undertaker as one of the best giants. Maybe Taker falls short of that designation, as he wasn’t a legit 7 ft?

[@showd300]

A question how does doctor tom feel a bout whenever a X wwe werstler cuts unfair promos on wwe and specifically on vince

[@charlesalford2262]

Don’t get Orange Cassidy

[@ApothecaryGrant]

Andre was 6'11" and Ernie was 6'9.75"

[@Censored4UViaGoogle]

No way Andre was only 6’11, especially during 70’s early 80’s. Nash was legit 6’10 and there’s no way that he was an inch away from the boss

[@ApothecaryGrant]

@@Censored4UViaGoogle don’t be ignorant . Andre’s only measurement was in dress shoes for a TV spot . He measured 7’0.5” with a two inch heel . Thats six-ten and a half bare footed . I have seen Andre facing Ernie Ladd whose shoot height is well known and they were very nearly the same height . That was in 1983 . There is reason I said what I said . Because the evidence supports it . Lord Alfred Hayes said in VKMs old USA Talk Show that he was sent to get Andre at the airport and his 6’10.5 “ inch frame was easy to see among everyone else. Andre’s death certificate had his height at 6’9” at passing. Its been said by NBA players who met him that they believed he wasn’t even 7’ let alone 7’4” . If you compare the height difference between Nash and Hogan at the finger poke of doom stare down and compare the height difference between hogan and Andre at WM3 stare down you can’t help but notice they are about the same .

[@toxicculture4682]

he says Trump doesnt like shaking hands now i know hes full of shit

[@TheZom1965]

Running the ropes is stupid.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

I always thought Gino was slightly over rated . He waa a Ric Flair wannabe in my book .

[@chanevazquez4610]

Brody got what he deserved. He was a selfish greedy Jewbag who screwed promoters. It was just a matter of time.
