10 Candidates For WWE Hall Of Fame 2016 Warrior Award

7. Bruce Prichard

Bruce Prichard is arguably one of the most important figures in WWE history that no longer works for the company (and isn't dead). To call Prichard one of the most influential people in the earlier years of the World Wrestling Federation would not be an overstatement. Prichard helped arc some of the most memorable characters and angles of all-time and is often overlooked when speaking about the most important employees in the company's history. After all, it was Prichard who helped book the territory with Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson during some of the company's best days. The man who portrayed Brother Love on-screen had a real-life part to play in all of the famed eras of WWE history, including Hulkamania during the late 80s, the New Generation, the Attitude Era and beyond. He was around for ages and his presence was always felt. Everyone knows of Patterson and Russo and McMahon but, at least compared to those names, Prichard often flies under the radar and it's time he gets brought to the forefront. Love him or hate him, he was a vital part of the company for several decades and an induction into the Hall Of Fame is long overdue.
