Bruce Prichard was a member of Vince McMahon's "brain trust" when planning the finish to the main event, but according to his own testimony, he was as shocked at the end result as anyone else.

He was working the Gorilla position for the match and apparently assumed the finish was a botch, leaving him frantically communicating with both ringside and the TV truck to figure out what happened. This is all while Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart and company were still waiting to be given their cue to head to the ring.

If he was about 15 years younger, Tim Robbins would've been absolutely perfect for this role, but instead we'll defer to one of TV's hottest rising stars right now: Stranger Things' David Harbour.

He's a few years older than Prichard was in 1997, but he's got an undeniably schlubby quality to him that fits the popular perception of Prichard perfectly. One can't imagine his Texan accent will be much of a stretch for the Emmy-nominated actor either.
