JJ Dillon on Bruce Prichard & Jerry Jarrett

[@TheeCoachg]

JJ is such a well spoken,classy man. Other than Bischoff,i’ve never heard anybody shit on JJ or his character as a man

[@Jay-g7d5e]

When J.J. Went to WCW he brought confidential papers with him to WCW and went and told Bischoff about it. Bischoff was like “Nope” bc he was afraid of legal problems involving that. JJ Dillon has no. Character

[@garysmith548]

Check out Raven’s story about Bruce running to stooge on him to Vince for his “behavior” at a rock concert

[@GodlessScummer]

I'm pretty sure that in one of WWE's own documentaries it was said that Jerry Jarrett was the insurance policy if something happened to Vince. I enjoy Prichard's podcast and his impression of Jerry Jarrett is funny but I'm finding it ever more difficult to accept what Bruce says about Jerry Jarrett as being true. Jerry is certainly not the blithering idiot that Prichard makes him out to be.

[@what3801]

Yeah, I believe it's mentioned in either the McMahon documentary or the History of the WWE documentary.

[@vicconi3723]

l beleive Bruce as he said Vince would run it from jail. He would be in a minimum security prison with visitors all the time including phone calls. And what does JJ say at 3:23 regarding him going to jail. Have your note pads ready.

Yes, there are a number of people who verified the story that Jerry Jarrett would run WWE if Vince went to jail because he was the only person that didn’t have an ulterior motive.

[@carloslozada470]

JJ is smart and always seems down to earth

[@mikem10481]

Prichard was always jealous of someone coming into creative and doing a better job than he did. Look who came in to WWF to help/assist McMahon during Prichard's time there. J.J. Dillon, Jim Cornette, Jim Ross, Bill Watts and even Paul Heyman. All great Wrestling minds. Prichard was always insecure about his spot in creative and snitched when he had the chance.

Bruce is the definition of a kiss-up, but his Jerry impression is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

[@78bcat]

Ask yourself this: What does JJ gain by lying to inflate somebody else...a somebody who does not need nor seek a wrestling paycheck? Why would JJ make this up? Bruce clearly likes settling grudges on his show and Jerry is just one on the list.

There’s a reason why they call Bruce Prichard “The Artful Dodger”. There are a number of people (including Jim Cornette and JJ) who verified the story that Vince wanted Jerry Jarrett to run the show if Vince went to jail because Vince knew that Jerry didn’t have an ulterior motive. I don’t think that Bruce is telling the truth, but his Jerry Jarrett impression is hilarious.

[@onamattapeeya]

Pathological Liars are often very humorous, it's part of their skill set

[@ianwebb8066]

I don't believe for a second Vince wouldn't be running the company even in prison

[@merman93]

Ian Webb = Trust me, if he was in an FCI, he would not have been able to run his business, and he eventually did realize that, and that's why he took out the Jarrett "insurance policy". He would have been forced to place somebody as Power of Attorney . All phone calls are monitored, and serious consequences would have followed attempts to run his business. You can't even make arrangements to sell your house, etc, it has to have been done prior to incarceration, or a decision made by your "power of attorney" designate without discussion. No need to ask how I know this, FCI Fort Dix, 2001-2003.

[@onamattapeeya]

@@merman93 how do you know this? See what I did there?

[@TheeCoachg]

Bruce’s issue with Jarrett is that he(Jerry) told Bruce he served no purpose & if he were to take over when Vince left then Bruce would be let go. I also think its a thing like when a job has few minorities so each one they do have tries to prove they’re more valuable than the other. Bruce likes being Vince’s token Southerner and as much as Vince hates southerners,he needs one around to maintain the wrasslin logic and thought process in his booking.

[@libertarian500]

Which I find totally odd, Vince himself and his wife are southerns. Both are from North Carolina born and raised.

[@joemayo4078]

Yeah it's ironic that Vinnie Lupton is a Southern boy from a Carolina trailer park but hates everything Southern... that's a guy that issues, is on daughter said that Vinnie wanted her to do an incest storyline, he wanted Shamrock to do one, and then later it turns out that some sick Shenanigans went on in his family, sounds like he's using wrestling to work out his inner demons, he's got issues

[@onamattapeeya]

@@joemayo4078 Oh, you didn't know? Better call somebody!

[@tritchie6272]

And a bonus to hiring JJ was JJ had no interest in taking over WWE. In fact from what I've heard JJ hated living in Connecticut and was missing the place he had in Tennessee. In an interview JJ said that at that time he had himself a small farm and a House that he built the way he wanted it. And I guess it interfered more with his family life than he liked. I can't remember who,but somebody said that part of Bruces issues is JJ wasn't as impressed with the importance of Bruce the way Bruce thought he should be.

Both jj and cornette literally told the same story which means Bruce was lying. The issue comes from when jerry said if he runs wwe bruce wouldn't have a job because he doesn't contribute anything and he wasnt wrong about that. Bruce got mad at that both patterson and brisco gave vince most of his ideas now bruce came up with the idea of kane with cornette but if compare track records jerry Jarrett did more in wrestling than bruce did. I would believe cornette before bruce because bruce was a kiss and he'd say whatever vince wanted to hear. Both cornette jj and jarrett knew the business. Bruce to this day still defends the red rooster gimmick. Jerry Jarrett had multiple millon dollar homes like cornette said he was the last territory to close to vince in the 90s for a reason cornette and jj both said jerry didn't like it in Connecticut. Jerry also started tna. But its true that vince brought in jerry because he trusted jerry to run it like cornette and jj both said jerry didn't want but bruce is a liar as usual. Jerry Jarrett is a genius unlike bruce who only got to were he was by kissing ass.

[@jamesearlcash1758]

THE HANNIBAL TV: Hannibal i have some questions regarding the Santino/Cornette situation. If you saw the video with regards to Santino confronting Cornette, at one point Santino calls Jim a rapist and alleges to have seen a video that shows Jim raping someone. Did Santino witness Jim raping someone on a video tape? During the confrontation Santino says fuck you, you fucking RAPIST then goes on to say he saw the video which he repeats 4 times. He did not say racist because that would make no sense for a white dude to call another white dude a racist especially when the incident between the 2 had nothing to do with racism. Do you think Santino could give you an answer as to why he called Jim a rapist? Who is the alleged victim of this alleged rape committed by Jim if Jim committed such an act? Why did Santino keep that info to himself and not go to the police to report the incident? Was Santino more concerned about his job security than to help a victim of rape? Is rape an issue in the pro wrestling business? Look forward to a reply from you Hannibal. Just curious.
