Hello, everyone. Get your shovels out. It's time to go six feet under again. This is a Fanatics and WWE original production. I am the OD, the original dead man, and this, my beautiful and talented co-host, Michelle Money McCool.
Wow.
Right?
I'm throwing that in there every time now.
I like that.
Okay.
Our guest today, he knows where all the bodies are buried. He's got all the secrets. And most importantly to me, if it wasn't for this gentleman, and I use the term lightly, There probably would not be an Undertaker in the world of professional wrestling. Our guest today is the amazing... Wow. Right? The amazing Bruce Prichard.
You changed.
Yes. Wow. It's early. I got to be nice. You have changed.
I have changed. You've changed. I've changed. Wow, look at you. You got your best... look at that one time Mick Foley could fit in that I mean not anymore wow man I put you over I put you over it's a nice looking flannel shirt you look good today not as good as Michelle you always look good okay

It's a nice flannel. You look good. How are you, man? I'm great. How are you?
I'm good right now.
All right.
It's early. I'm excited about this one. I heard a little pop there when I said he knows where all the bodies are buried.
I buried most of them. Well, you did.
You did.
What role did Bruce Prichard play in The Undertaker's career?
You helped. Oh, buddy. This, you know, when I heard you finally agreed to come on the show.
Wow.
I was finally asked to come on the show. That's... Wait a minute.
No, come on now. That's why I get it twisted. I begged to come on the show. No, no.
Every time I talk to Craig.
You don't have a podcast. I do podcasts. Something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard. I do. It's a great podcast. But I said, I'd love to do Taker's podcast. They said, well, he's going to ask you. But then I never got asked. And then I got asked finally. You know what?
My production people sometimes.
That's why, again, I know production people.
Yeah, I know. You got it all figured out.
Look at you. You got an entourage.
That's only because Stephanie and Cody are busy today.
Oh, wow.
That's the only reason they're here.
I comprende. Yo comprendo. Easy. And you understand that. He does.
He totally understands that. El jefe. El jefe. De Mexico. El jefe.
El jefe. Buker. De Mexico. You know, I expected it'd be a little longer before this came off the rails.
Right off the rails.
Right off the rails. Please don't call me el jefe. Si. Si. Si jefe.
No problem. Si jefe.
Whatever jefe wants, jefe gets.
No, Paul.
Okay, I'm going to remember that. Okay, I'm El Jefe. We got it right here. Where? Right there. I got it. We're not going to edit that out. So whatever El Jefe needs, El Jefe's going to get. Okay.
How did Kane's character come to be created?
Okay, I like that.
You know the story about, well, I said want, and if you want in one hand, you do something else in the other. If you shit in the other. Yeah, okay. Oh, you say shit on the show.
I try not to say shit too many times. You said it first. What are the other words? You're good. If it's too bad, if Michelle starts cussing like she normally does, they'll edit it out.
The true El Jefe said I can say whatever I want.
The true El Jefe. You know, when I finally heard that you were going to come on the show, I'm going to try this again.
When I was finally invited, I was very excited to be on the show.
Anyway. Anyway. Yeah, so I started thinking, I kind of feel like I was abandoned as a child. I felt like I was abandoned, and then I got adopted maybe, or I found a home, right? There's so much about... the beginning origins of The Undertaker and how it all come about that I really, really don't know. And for our viewers that are not aware, you and actually Paul were huge advocates for me when I was down in WCW. And, you know, so... Yeah, I mean, y'all basically were a, I don't know what to say. Y'all were kind of like life vests for me at a time where I was like, oh, man, this is not going the way I expected it to go. And I remember Paul saying, you know who Bruce Prichard is?
