10 Most Vicious Wrestling Manager Beatdowns
9. Ultimate Warrior Shuts Down ‘The Brother Love Show’
Although
Brother Love is more remembered as a personality, he does have the distinction
of being Undertaker’s first manager. Just a few months after the Deadman
arrived in the World Wrestling Federation, the cherry-faced preacher was shown
the door. Behind the scenes, Bruce Prichard (Brother Love’s alter ego) was
being fired for failure to get along with his coworkers. So his character
needed an exit, and the timing was just right as Ultimate Warrior was preparing
to face Randy Savage in a career-ending match at WrestleMania VII.
As
Warrior howled and snarled on the Brother Love Show, he promised to end careers
ASAP, starting with the host. Warrior dismantled the talk show set, and then
chased Brother Love to the ring, beating him with several stiff clotheslines and splashes.
The evangelical minister wouldn’t return to WWE TV until four years later.
