  What did you think of Bruce Prichard's run here as a manager. IIRC, he refereed to himself as "the Expert".

I though it was weird...this was before the internet and before I got any insider newsletters....but I knew and assumed everyone else knew Pritchard was Brother Love in the WWF....yet they never acknowledged it or anything and acted like he was a completely different person......that may have worked in the 70's in some territories, but not by this point when WWF was national.

I'll be honest, I didn't know they were the same guy.

 On one episode of supercard after Pritchard had turned Heel, Craig Johnson called him "Brother" a few times and Pritchard responded by saying something along the lines of "Have you ever been to Newyork before?" I ordered a bunch of Global DVDS online and became something of a Global Expert lol.

Pritchard was decent manager and seemed to do a good job of getting his men over as heels.

My mom had to enlighten me that Bruce Prichard & Brother Love were the same person. He managed The Dark Patriot if my memory serves me right. I enjoyed his work as a manager and a commentator.

I think I knew Prichard was Brother Love because of the magazines, but not sure if I'd have known otherwise.  Maybe I knew the moment I saw and heard him, can't remember for sure.  His pairing with Barry Horowitz was entertaining as well.

The magazines Wrestling Eye and Wrestling Fury outed Brother Love as Bruce Prichard right away in the summer of 1988, so I knew pretty much from the start. I had seen Prichard as the occasional ring announcer (usually from taped Houston house shows where a match or two would be shown on TV) on UWF television.
