Bruce Prichard on Working Closely with Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan: “They Knew How to Play Off of Each Other”

Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage are two of the biggest icons in the world of professional wrestling. Hogan is one of the biggest babyfaces in the history of WWE and “Macho Man” Randy Savage is one of the most loved heels in WWE.

The two men worked in the professional wrestling world for several years, and one person who certainly knows about working with them during their time in WWE is Bruce Prichard. Bruce Prichard is currently the Senior Vice President of WWE.

But apart from his corporate roles, Prichard also appeared on-screen as ‘Brother Love.’ Under the character ‘Brother Love’, Prichard hosted a talk show ‘The Brother Love Show’. Top WWE superstars, including Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, appeared at the show that lasted from 1988 to 1991.

Recently, during an episode of the Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard Podcast, Prichard shared his experience of working with Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan on ‘The Brother Love Show’.

He said, “It’s like a night off because you could lay out exactly what you needed, have an idea of where you are going to go, and just go and have fun.”

“Because we all knew each other well enough that I knew how to get them where they wanted to go and vice versa. They knew how to play off of each other and we all knew how to play off of the other. Not play with the other, but you know,” Bruce added.

Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage share a massive history in the professional wrestling world

Before Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage produced a battle to remember for ages at WrestleMania V, they were actually a tag team, which was known as ‘The Mega Powers’. With two of the greatest WWE wrestlers teaming up together, it only got difficult for others.

At WrestleMania IV, Hulk Hogan helped Randy Savage defeat “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Following that victory, ‘The Mega Powers’ came into existence.

Soon, they became a force to reckon with. Hogan and Savage defeated ‘The Mega Bucks’ in the main event of the very first SummerSlam PPV. But in 1989, problems arose between Hogan and Savage.

At the 1999 Royal Rumble PPV, Hulk Hogan accidentally eliminated Randy Savage. Following that, several heated arguments took place between the two men. And soon ‘The Mega Powers’ got dissolved.

Later at WrestleMania V, Hogan defeated Randy Savage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. But following Savage’s arrival in WCW, he shook hands with The Hulkster.

Thus, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage were not only great rivals but also had mutual respect for each other and, at one point, were even partners.
