#4 Brock Lesnar legitimately injured Bruce Prichard

Nowadays, Bruce Prichard works as the head of creative on both RAW and SmackDown. However, during Brock Lesnar’s first run with WWE between 2002-2004, the WWE director also had the responsibility of producing backstage segments.

Before returning to WWE in a behind-the-scenes role in 2019, Prichard told stories about his time with the company on WWE Network show Something Else to Wrestle With.

As you can see in the tweet above, he had a black eye in one of the pictures behind him on his office wall.

When a Twitter user jokingly asked whether The Ultimate Warrior caused the injury, Prichard simply replied, “Lesnar.”

Vince McMahon’s right-hand man elaborated on the injury during the Bob Holly episode of his Something to Wrestle With podcast, explaining that Brock Lesnar accidentally caught him in the face during filming one time.

“Brock Lesnar kicked my face in. He kicked a wall in and kicked my face in. By the time I made it home, Brock Lesnar had [sent] s*** in my house and making jokes and calling me and apologizing and checking on me damn near every f***ing day. That’s probably the part of Brock Lesnar that Brock don’t like to get out there.”

Prichard added that, contrary to what some people might think, Brock Lesnar is a good guy in real life.
