#3 Backstage anger on the 'this is your life segment' in WWE

Bruce Prichard recently spoke about WWE icons The Rock and Mankind on his podcast. The RAW creative head revealed that he was absolutely furious with everyone involved in the infamous 'this is your life' promo as it had gone overboard. He said that he was 'pissed' at The Rock.

He revealed that he still hasn't re-watched the segment as it brings back memories of being angry and losing his mind backstage.

''I was pissed off at Russo, I was pissed off at Rock, I was pissed off at Foley, I was pissed off at anybody that was standing in front of me. It went 14 minutes heavy over its allotted time. Bad. Here’s the thing – OK great, after the fact, it did a great rating. But the effect it had on the rest of the television show was horrendous because now you’re having two or three-minute segments and matches are getting cut. Essentially they went two segments over.''

Even though the promo has become iconic over the years, it is a known fact that even WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was not happy with The Rock and Mankind going off-script initially.
