Bruce Prichard’s WWE Role Reportedly “Overstated”

It was reported last week that Bruce Prichard has been hired for a high level WWE creative job that was described as being “as important as possible” and Prichard would be working directly with Vince McMahon.

Dave Meltzer reported that that description of his role is actually a bit overstated and Prichard has been hired as a consultant and not a member of the writing team.

On the most recent episode of Prichard’s Something to Wrestle podcast, he had this to say:

“I’m extremely proud and extremely happy to be back in the family at WWE. I had my first TVs back this past week. I had an absolute blast seeing everybody. I’m not being coy, but a lot still needs to be worked out as far as what my role will be. I’m going to come back and help out wherever I can be most valuable. We’re working through it, we’re figuring out where I might fit best and how and what and why and everything else. It’s something that happened pretty quickly with me going to TV. A lot has changed in 10 years. I have to see where I fit in and they have to see where I fit in. There’s still a lot of questions to be answered and I’m looking forward to an incredible journey.”

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Bruce Prichard helped produce the Batista and Ric Flair segment on Raw.
