WWE: 10 Times Real Life Political Troubles Fuelled Top Heels
6. Brother Love
The 1980s: viewed by many as a decade of greed, waste and more greed. Also with said greed the rise of the Moral Majority and prosperity theology during the Reagan years. With the money came the hypocrisy of televangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell and in 1988, a Presidential run by CBN founder and 700 Club host Pat Robertson.
Enter Brother Love, a scarlet-faced southern televangelist huckster named for the Neil Diamond song Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show. Wearing a white linen suit, gawdy gold jewelry and screaming at the top of his lungs about LUUUUUUUUUUV, Bruce Prichard embodied the slimy underbelly of certain members of the religious establishment at the time. Even more social commentary came in the form of Brother Loves benefactor being none other than the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, connecting the greed with the religion.
