Bruce Prichard spoke about WWE’s developmental system for creative members during the latest edition of his Something To Wrestle podcast. Check out what he had to say in the podcast highlights below.
Whether there is a developmental system for creative members:
There is, and you don’t hear about it.
On the evolution of the Gorilla position:
Well, it’s gotten bigger, it’s gotten more sophisticated. When Gorilla [Monsoon] did Gorilla, it was a table at the entrance with a monitor and a headset. Gorilla told talent when to go and told them what they did wrong on the way back and gave time cues, and that was it. Nowadays, Gorilla is a place where it’s the last bastion before anybody goes through the curtain. It’s a place where everyone can congregate, get together, and go over last-minute details. It’s a place for producers to sit. It’s a place for the show producers, like Paul and myself, to sit and be able to interact with the truck and everything in production. You have trainers, you have doctors, and everything right there. So it’s just a more sophisticated area,” he continued. “Now, you can talk to everybody anywhere from Gorilla and communicate. It’s our command center.
