Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I heard Bruce Prichard on Stone Cold’s podcast all the way back in either late 2016 or early 2017, it’s been too long to remember. He plugged his new-ish podcast, and considering I was working nights as a housekeeper, I needed more content, so I gave it a try. Something to Wrestle quickly became my favorite podcast, and something I looked forward to each and every week.

The wealth of stories Bruce had, as well as his *usually* good natured spats with Conrad, were can’t miss listening. Soon it was my go to for road trips, doing the dishes, etc.

I’ve learned so many things about my favorite wrestlers, and learned so much about the business from this podcast. As much as Bruce wants to share, anyway!

So why not 5 stars? Before I say anything negative, BLESS Conrad and Bruce both for continuing to put out this show as often as reasonably possible. When you consider that Conrad is now the undisputed “Podfather” and Bruce is working for one of the most successful companies (not just wrestling company) in the world, it’s really remarkable that this show has continued.

The magic is waning, unfortunately. Conrad sounds rushed, or disinterested, quite a bit. Bruce has always had some “cranky” streaks, but his energy has understandably changed over the past few years as well. Go listen to a recent show, and then the Radicalz or Brian Pillman episode to see what I mean.

In fact, DO go listen to those episodes. Listen to them all. It was my favorite podcast, and it’s still a fine one.

Bruce, Conrad, if either of you read this:

Thank you. You two were unknowingly there as I went from a housekeeper to a Sterile Processing Lead. You were the soundtrack to many road trips. You’ve given me so many laughs and even a few tears! You guys rock, don’t let that magic slip.

Bruce is surprisingly funny, but also has amazing knowledge of the pro wrestling business. Conrad is similarly likable, and his research is exhaustive on every topic covered. If you’re a long time WWE or pro wrestling fan, I don’t see how you could not enjoy this show!

As a fan of professional wrestling since the 1970’s, I find Something to Wrestle with…… Bruce Prichard the most entertaining podcast I’ve ever heard, period. Bruce and Conrad are entertaining, and I learn something new about my favorite topic each time I listen. The nostalgia is great and presented with humor, from Bruce’s perspective that only he can deliver. No rumors and innuendo here!

A must listen for any WWF/E fan from the mid 80s to early 2000’s. Some very funny moments and great insight into the behind the scenes of WWF. Even topics that don’t sound interesting are made interesting.

I thought slurring drunk or opiate-filled Bruce was hard to tolerate, but I think amphetamine-loaded, animated Bruce might be worse! Never have I heard a person try SO hard and be SO amused by themselves. Good lord he’s hard to take. I can’t do it anymore.

I got about half way through this episode and couldn’t listen anymore. Bruce just sounds at times like he is half assing the topic and talks about whatever he wants or rambles about things that are only funny to him. A digression here and there for a few moments is fine, but I’m not giving up my time if Bruce doesn’t care enough to stick to the script and discuss what we came to hear.
