Bruce Prichard Comments on Recent Changes Within WWE

A recent episode of the Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard podcast featured co-host Prichard’s thoughts on the recent changes within WWE.

“Let’s call it exciting. It’s exciting times, it’s a time in life to which, people take life for granted sometimes and take things happening around you for granted and it’s all how you look at life. You can either, love life, live life or you can hate life and just exist. I choose to…there were times in my life where I chose the latter, but I choose the former. I would rather live life and enjoy it because life is a journey, not a destination. Remember, the light at the end of the tunnel maybe you.”

Prichard also stated that the rumors and reports of him being involved in a creative role for WWE’s NXT brand following its relaunch to NXT 2.0 are not true.

“I do have to say, because it’s something people, even internally, have come to me with and made comments about…that I was writing NXT. I never said a word. You know what else I never did? I never wrote one NXT show in the history of my existence. I’m a fan of NXT, I love NXT. Shawn Michaels recently came out and talked about how, ‘It’s been me [Shawn], it’s been me since day one.’ Shawn has done a tremendous job of grabbing NXT by the horns and doing what he’s done. I love Shawn Michaels to death. The fact that Shawn finally came out and said, ‘What are you guys talking about?’ To those pundits out there, the dirtsheet writers who reported as fact, not, ‘hey rumors are,’ no, they reported as fact, that I had been involved in NXT. The fact of the matter is, they were 100% just fabricated lies. From where? I don’t know. Now that they’ve heard it from two different sources who were actually there and would actually know, they should probably consider their sources, or just stop making things up. I just found it so funny when, in an interview, with so many different things going on, Shawn said, ‘I’m gonna comment on that,’ just because so many people were dying on that soapbox and wanted to have my head. Those that want my head are going to want my head, have it at. I love what I do, I love where I’m at, what I’m doing, with whom I do it with. Get over it. it’s not all about what you think you perceive. Reality is reality and perception can be reality too, but when your reality is based on the perception that you have no idea about, it’s just wrong.”
