#2 Bruce Prichard
Much like Jim Cornette and Paul Heyman, Bruce Prichard got into the wrestling business at a young age, almost through sheer force of will. At 10 years old, Prichard began selling posters for events held in Houston, TX by promoter Paul Boesch. That would eventually lead to work as a ring announcer for Bill Watt’s Universal Wrestling Federation. Prichard found his greatest success as Brother Love - a red-faced, buffoon and a parody of popular TV televangelists in the 1980s.
Prichard remained with the company for years, at one point becoming Vince McMahon’s “right-hand man.” During the Owen Hart tribute episode of Raw following Hart’s death, Prichard was the only strictly-backstage employee to make a televised statement. However, in 2008, Prichard was released from the company after 22 years. He now works for Impact Wrestling as an on-air authority figure and backstage producer.
