Prichard Sheds Light on the Intricacies of Choosing WWE’s Next Top Star
Bruce Prichard, a seasoned wrestling professional and the host of ‘Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard,’ recently shared insights into the process of selecting ‘The Guy’ for WWE. In a candid discussion, Prichard revealed the complexities and the intense debates that go into deciding who will be the next top star of the wrestling world.
The discussion revolved around the selection of the next top guy, akin to the likes of Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin. Contrary to popular belief, Prichard mentioned that WWE is only sometimes looking for just one ‘guy.’ Instead, they are constantly on the lookout for the next crop of talent that will take the company to the next level.
Prichard mentioned that names like John Cena, Batista, and Randy Orton were part of these discussions. He highlighted that these wrestlers had unique strengths and were all vying to be ‘The Guy.’ He said, “Cena was in that discussion. Batista, you know, uh, Brock had been in that discussion at one point. There were a lot of guys.”
Prichard also emphasized the importance of the right attitude in becoming ‘The Guy.’ He mentioned that Batista was in it to make money and be a star, while Cena had the best attitude of them all. He also pointed out that the top guys are not just handed their positions; they have to fight for it.
Prichard also shared his thoughts on the Ultimate Warrior, who he felt wanted the position for the wrong reasons. He contrasted this with the likes of Cena, Austin, Rock, Hunter, and Foley, who all wanted to be the best and were willing to sacrifice to achieve that.
The discussion provides a fascinating insight into the backstage dynamics of WWE and the process of selecting the next top star. It’s a must-watch for all wrestling fans who want to understand the intricacies of the wrestling business.
