7. Bruce Prichard On A Lot Of Shows In A Lot Of Characters That Weren't Brother Love

When he joined the WWF in 1987, Houston Wrestling announcer Bruce Prichard continued to call the Sam Houston Coliseum matches which were aired locally on KHTV and now nationally on various WWF shows. Joined by ring announcer Mike McGuirk and long-time job guy Pete Doherty, they were among the worst broadcasting teams in wrestling history, though it wasn't all Prichard's fault. Soon enough, Prichard became an on-screen character as Brother Love, hosting his own interview segment and occasionally calling matches. After several years, he was written off TV and eventually fired.

He returned in 1993, first as an unseen character named The Wizard, which was basically him using his regular voice. He was relegated to the lowest-profile English language WWF shows, like the Canadian-exclusive C-level recap show "Super Card."

Reo Rogers was essentially Prichard doing a Dusty Rhodes impression while wearing a cowboy outfit with a ridiculous fake mustache. It didn't last long.

However, he did have one memorable segment: During the build-up to Survivor Series '93 (where Shawn Michaels replaced Lawler in a match against the Hart brothers), he hosted "Reo's Roundup" at what they claimed was Hart House.
