In case you didn’t know...
Bruce Prichard is best known for his work with the WWE where he worked as a backstage executive, television producer, ring announcer as well as an on-screen character known as Brother Love. Prichard was known as one of Vince McMahon’s right-hand men until his departure from the company in 2008.
The heart of the matter
The 54-year old revealed that the Undertaker wasn’t too pleased with Bret Hart hogging a vast majority of the spotlight at WWE SummerSlam ’94, adding that the Deadman had a one-on-one talk with Hart regarding the same after the show was over.

SummerSlam 1994 is best known for the steel cage match between Bret and Owen Hart that Prichard revealed went on 20 minutes longer than the allotted time. This was followed by the infamous Undertaker vs Undertaker match that saw the real Taker (Mark Calaway) face ‘Underfaker’ (Brian Lee)- both of whom were real-life friends at the time of the match. The match went on for hardly 15 minutes and is widely considered to be one of the worst of all time.Here’s what Brother Love had to say regarding the same:
"Pretty fu**** hot. He was hot. No, he was fu***** hot. Nobody was there for the confrontation because no one wanted to be there, but Taker did go and talk to Bret just to let him know, hey, he wasn't happy with it.
I mean, I don't know. It wasn't heated. Taker's not that kind of a guy, but he did have a conversation with him that night. And, no, no one was there, so there's no witness. The only people that know what happened in that are Undertaker and Bret."
What’s next?
Prichard presently serves as a backstage advisor and on-screen authority figure for Impact Wrestling. Neither the Undertaker nor Bret Hart has confirmed nor denied the aforementioned incident narrated by Prichard.
Author’s take
Honest question folks- do any of you guys remember how awesome it was to see The Undertaker back in the WWF after he ‘died’ in the casket match against Yokozuna; only to have the Phenom come back and spook us all with the Taker vs Faker gimmick.
Brother Love sure does love the good ‘ol WWE stories, doesn’t he?
