Loved the story with Jack Brisco in the limo

The first WM I attended live. Been waiting for this episode. 24 is very sentimental to me.

This was the last WWE show I watched before taking a break for the next 6 years.. I got back into it around WM30..

[@freakinflax]

I was there live and there was a big Pyro malfunction during the ending. The stands were on fire. They don’t remember?

I’m an Optimum customer, too. I feel your pain, Bruce!

Optima should have got the Cornette Dairy Queen incident promo 😂

To be a little more pacific(intentionally misspelled) Windham & Bray Wyatt Sr.'s original theme was Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA & only for a brief period was Real American their theme

[@caprisun6]

Can't wait for this one!

[@claudepatterson1828]

Clear understanding and the truth

[@freakinflax]

My first WM - I’ll never forget leaving my seat after Flair/HBK and finding a group of people also distraught and we just cried it out. I know we didn’t miss whatever Snoop Dogg did

[@AWrestlingHistorian]

Solid Wrestlemania.

[@brandonhill1982]

It was such a honor and privilege to have the opportunity to fight The Big Show and be a part of WrestleMania history. It was truly a dream come true.

[@chrisortiz8072]

You were a part of wrestlemania or just trolling? Lol not trying to be disrespectful but it is youtube and I don't remember this wrestlemania so you could be legit for all I know lol

Does Mr. Bruce Prichard still call mofos when they buy a shirt?

[@sirekumasutra7022]

7:29 To answer Bruce's question I think that is referencing The Last of Us.

[@danterose210]

This should be interesting no doubt!!

[@HombreGermany]

It's pretty obvious Conrad has given up putting any effort on this podcast

[@Rschr101]

It's more of a Bruce thing, the change happened when Bruce went back to work for Vinnie Mac

[@daveyddunne]

Yep. Remember the good aul days when he'd call Bruce out on his BS? Now it's "ah, we're lucky to have him so let's just get it done"

[@hhhguy2004]

My new Talor , Bruce his name is alan j Horowitz Conrad is he related to Barry 😂😂

Can't wait 🙌🏼🔥

So we acknowledged WrestleMania & the sale but we're not going to say anything about that mustache on Vince LOL

Goddamn pal😅

I thought everyone knew Ric was losing at this WM...?

Bruce yeah she was really neat !!

Why’s that funny

Where’s WM 23, did I miss something?

Jack brisco story 😅😅😅

[@charlesstephenarnest8513]

Have you ever set your nutsack on a iceblock and see how long you can hold it there? You win by measuring the depth in the ice. Brutal game

[@Rschr101]

Great sendoff for Ric. Then he went to TNA 😅 Foley too. The worst was Kurt. All 3 of those guys were too good for that company. Still cant believe Kurt wrestled longer in TNA than he did in WWE. A travesty.

[@noahcarson5276]

Bro they never did 23 w Bruce they did it with JR imma be so sad if they don’t

Spectrum and optimum must be ran by the same company!!

[@chrisortiz8072]

If optimum is Cablevision when I had it was the best internet I ever had. Xfinity aka comcast is trash. I drop service so often that I just assume will happen everyday lol

[@TJSpyke]

I had to laugh when you claimed Mayweather is a good guy. Yeah, real good guy. Convicted of multiple counts of domestic abuse in 2002, convicted of multiple counts of battery against women in 2004, assaulted a bouncer in 2005, pled guilty to battery charges in 2011 (his victim would sue him after he called her a drug abuser in an interview following his arrest). He may have been nice to you guys, but he is NOT a good guy at all

[@Rschr101]

Coming from the same company who endored Mike Tyson, its par for the course.

[@TakeNoteOfThat]

“Hey, how was that guy you briefly worked with 16 years ago?” “He was a good guy BUT I have since read every single news article and book about him, and weighing everything he’s done outside the 2 months I knew him, he was a BAD guy in retrospect.”

[@TJSpyke]

@@TakeNoteOfThat even at that time it was well known that Mayweather was a terrible person

[@BigTicketLeezy5]

Has the brisco story ended yet…

[@Falconesports2025]

Michael Cole.

[@brodywise4750]

I too have optimum. And I can concur. It is absolute ass

[@lo1bo2]

2:08:00 COME ON, don't play dumb and insult the audience! The accident that had pyro exploding into the crowd in the upper bowl injured dozens of people. It was big news.

[@bobbyjohnson9409]

Try again Bruce. Vince thought Floyd would be cheered but was wrong. Simple. But saying Vince was wrong makes daddy Vince angry right Bruce

[@deepblue8143]

Because you were there right? Surely you know more than Bruce.

[@bobbyjohnson9409]

@@deepblue8143or u can grow a brain and realize why Conrad asked the question in the first place. Too bad u were like 10 at the time and u don’t know anything

These later podcasts are so banal... Should have wrapped it up after Bruce went back.

[@SlyCarey]

Don't watch then?

[@stingrey1571]

@14:50 more revisionist history by bruce. the wwe definitely tried to portray mayweather as a face. once he was booed, he embraced it and forced a change in direction.

[@lol-ywood9080]

And yet again, no Triple H episode. Zero interest in these PPV episodes

[@Rschr101]

The HHH show would be another kiss ass fest. Bruce will never tell the truth about Hunter and the way he booked himself to beat everybody, bad mouthed, politicked, and slept his way to the top after beating and cheating on Chyna.

[@TakeNoteOfThat]

Neat.
