FTR Compare And Contrast The Bullsh*t Of Bruce Prichard And Paul Heyman
Bruce Prichard and Paul Heyman were the respective executive directors of WWE SmackDown and Raw, and FTR (known as The Revival in WWE) got to know both men during their final months in WWE.
FTR were on WWE Raw with Heyman during the summer and then moved to WWE SmackDown in the fall following the Draft.
Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience, the duo were asked a very poignant question, “who was more full of bullshit?”
“They were both, completely, past their eyeballs and to their brain full of shit. Bruce, at least he didn’t believe the shit we was feeding us. Paul Heyman was serving it on a platter and cutting it up for us and feeding it like we were birds. Bruce had a little more respect for us than Paul had. Paul respected us, he had conversations with Arn about us, but Bruce respected us more. Paul loved his job more than he loved us and I can’t fault him for that,” said Dax Harwood.
Cash Wheeler added, “Neither guy is in a position I envy. They are both as full of bullshit as they have to be to survive and make the money they need to make.”
They were also asked about Eric Bischoff, but neither had any dealings with Bischoff, saying that he didn’t interact with the boys too often.
FTR were released by WWE on April 10, over a year after initially asking for their release from the company. They now compete for AEW, though they say they are on a handshake deal with the company. As for Prichard and Heyman, Prichard is now the lead executive for both Raw and SmackDown while Heyman focuses on his on-screen role.
