Macho's response was pure gold
RIP sherry, macho, Liz, sapphire and dusty.....
@Jack Spade\It's a shame the list is that long!
@@pulsarstargrave256 yes it is.
Worst part is that drugs killed 2 of the 4 of them. Such a waste of talent.
Everything dies. Fact of life.
😔😔😔
I loved this feud as a kid. Dusty and Macho could quite possibly he the most charismatic guys in the history of the business.
thalrg22 macho, easily, hands down, almost everyone imitates him. Dusty is the guy that pisses you off because he's the type that would be on the dance floor in cowboy boots and polkadots dancing with the finest ladies while you're in a 5k suit and every woman shoots you down, and runs near Dusty while you have the boo boo face.
@@kendallfleming5858 Bingo.
I liked dusty and Ted dibiasi . The rich guy vs the commoner. And he lured saphire away from dusty with gifts and jewlery .
I had no idea Pat Patterson was the voice of Super Mario 🤣🤣
Thought the same thing. May be Prichard's accident turns French Canadian into Italian or Italian plumber.
😂😂😂😂😂
He's not. Mario was created in Japan and Pat isn't even from there. You might want to actually research stuff before spreading lies. Also, Mario has nothing to do eith with wrestling
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind ooooooh Nintendo fan boy triggered 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@yereldda4666 I like Nintendo, yeah. I like Sony Playstation too, though. Im pretty sure the person was joking now after I wrote that and I wasn't triggered. I was just saying that Mario isn't from here, he was created in Japan so Patterson couldn't do the voices for Nintendo. They didnt do celebrity voices in games like they do now
It's sad to think Randy,Sherri,Dusty, Sapphire & Liz are all dead.
I would love to see these mixed tag matches that they all were in.
So so sad.
His Randy and Dusty impersonations are spot on! Funny story!!
only dusty
Love Bruce Prichards impersonations, he's the best.
His Dusty is uncanny. It sounds exactly like him.
Savage is a G lol dusty really was the babe Ruth of wrestling lol rip both guys
"Well, Babe, that's what we're doing tonight. See you in the ring!" Tbh, I actually dig the IDEA behind "common man should have a common woman".
2nd best Macho Man impression in the business. 1st is Jay Lethal.
Jake the snakes is pretty good too
@Time Child That's Heather Swanson.
Yeah, Jake Roberts does a great Macho Man
1st is comedian Dan Soder
He's making Pat sound more Italian than French...
AlwaysaMystery Yes that’s the bit!
I thought he was impersonating sammartino or sumn 😂😂😂
I like the impressions. I usually hate impressions but Bruce does a very good Dusty and Savage impersonation.
You should listen to The Lapsed Fan podcast. The Boss absolutely kicks Bruce's ass with his impersonations. Especially of Macho and Vince.
he doesn't do a good savage, look up dan soder
Dusty WAS in shape. Round is a shape.
LOL this story had me dying, loved it, great voices and storytelling Bruce
Can you imagine a Dusty vs Savage blood feud in JCP ?
Hmm
Savage would destroy Dusty lol
Savage was such a boss 😂😂🤣🤣
Macho Man impersonation is the absolute best
no it isnt
Bruce's Macho Man impression is starting to sound Rowlf from the Muppets.
LMAO!!!
Dan Soder does a way better Macho Man
Bruce was pretty excellent as Macho
That's part of the charm. ;)
His savage impression is spot on
🤣🤣🤣🤣 damm Bruce ...those Macho & Dusty (RIP 2 x's🙏🏾) voice impressions are so on point manee 🎯😂
I loved Sapphire. I never saw her as a rib. The polka dots were absolutely a rib but I saw Sappbire as exactly how Bruce described her.
This could've been a great feud in the NWA
The dusty impression Is beyond golden
Saphire was not a rib. However, the polka dots...
Nobody made a polka dot leotard look cooler than Dusty.
I still don't see anything wrong with Dusty in polka dots or him Sapphire. They worked perfect together in my opinion, and to this day they're all memorable and beloved to this day by fans in attendance. Also, given all that Bruce has said and how others have talked about how Vince treated Dusty and his children, I think Vince has a GREAT amount of respect for Dusty and his family.
This is one thing wrestling is missing today two characters like Macho Man and Dusty Rhodes. Everyone now is the same
The Jerk Definitely
Yep.
Because no one would ever tell the difference between R Truth and Braun.
That's because back then the wrestlers came up with the gimmicks mostly they say their own lines not a script
@@marcusmajors6196 Actually Vince came up with most of the gimmicks. Macho King, Dusty Rhodes, Brother Love, etc. Vince creations...
@@kingphillieman I gonna look into that
Now I think about, ALL these greats are dead; Macho, Dusty, Liz, Sherry Sapphire. Rest in peace.
Drugs don't pay.
@@terminat1 dusty died naturally
Yes, correct. I meant in general.
Bruce literally has the best Macho Man and Dream I've ever heard
The most charismatic performer from the NWA meets the most charismatic performer from the WWF. I didn’t care about the polka dots, I loved this feud.
Love Bruce's impersonations.
They humiliated the hell out of Dusty by having Dibiase buy off Sapphire at Summerslam and then he loses to Savage and has to run after his lady in a leaving car lol
Which is how you put maximum heat on a babyface.
Tbh I’ve not really been impressed by Bruce’s impressions. But that Macho Man impression is sheer perfection.
Y'all are forgetting about Baby Doll as a valet :)
MrMJC1968 I DIDN'T. She was a damn FOX.
MrMJC1968 she was ugly AF
Sorry about your eye sight there Harvey......Hows the legal trouble coming along?? LMAO!!!
lol I'm living like a docta , no worries
Damien Davidson Baby Doll was a big girl, she wasn't a slight little thing like Elizabeth or someone else, but she wasn't ugly. That's the last thing I've heard said about her. People may slag her off for this or that but being ugly is not one of those.
I won't be told those polka dots weren't a giant F You to Dusty. He handled it like a champ but DAMN!!
Agreed. They’re just romanticized now because Dusty was talented enough to pull it off.
And "they never ribbed?" VIRGIL! RED ROOSTER!!!
6
Your point?
Dam Bruce sounds identical to macho man best impression ever rip macho ,dusty
no he doesnt
Regarding Dusty returning to WCW in 1991, he was wise to return as the booker during that time because Dusty Rhodes was old. He retired in 1991 after his WWF run.
Dusty as a heel with Dick Murdoch was a bumper like HBK or Crippler Stevens.
You lucky SOB, Bruce to have had the privilege of working with those five talented individuals. Randy & Sherri (with you) vs Dusty & Sapphire (with Miss Liz) That was the very definition of a fun feud! Two charismatic guys going at it, three lovely ladies and the pot-stirring televangelist LOL Great times! P.S. Your Randy and Dusty imitations: Freaking Pricele$$!
This wouldve been a "dream" match.. no pun....
sxhbk a westling match for the ages if you will
Great impersonation of both. I love this interview.
These impersonations are awesome 😂🤣
Bruce's impression of randy savage is amazing
I love the imitations! Sounds just like Randy and Dusty! Dusty was favorite as a kid!
Sad thing is, Randy, Liz, Sapphire, Dusty and Sherri are all gone.
Bruce at 10:30 said that Terry Garvin suggested Sapphire.
Conrad's question at 11:00 "Who suggested her?"
At least once per show, Conrad asks a question Bruce just answered.
I was reading your comment just as I got to that point and bursted out laughing.
Every single show!!! Like Conrad hears what he wants to hear lol
well to be fair in regards of the polka dots, that was kinda the style of the times, late 80s/early 90s had the worst fashion ever, funky looking bright colors, neons, pinks etc... ugh, it was atrocious, it's like everybody wanted to be gay rodeo clown for some reason, there was even a rapper who wore polkadots during that time named kwame, so nobody was immune, gotta give dusty a pass on that one
Savage vs Rhodes should have been a co-headliner at Wrestlemania along with Flair vs Hogan. Smh.
Throw in Steamboat vs Perfect while your at it.
I hated the way WWF used Dusty. Damn polka-dots. Worst tenure of his career.
FLORIDA GATOR That wasn't Vince Jr. Nor Senior, that was bookers. Dusty made the polk-a-dots iconic. He made people go, whose the big guy in polk-a-dots dancing? He looks like hes having fun.
And not one time had Dusty ever complained. Meanwhile 20 years later and Bret still won’t stop bitching about WCW.
WCW treated former WWF guys like gold whereas WCW guys were always shit on by McMahon. Brets the only WWF guy who can say he didn’t get put over like a million bucks, but he bitches louder than Vader, Ron Simmons, Dusty, Sting, and Steamboat combined.
No way. It was fun, he was having fun, people were having fun. That's a good thing.
I liked his WWF run but I do agree it could have been better if they took it more seriously
Same shit as today they sign the top talent from other companies and job em out and they are nothing more then mid card if lucky .... AJ is the exception ...
Does Bruce know Brother Love personally?
I don’t know why I am still surprised that anytime I hear a story of a NWA or WCW wrestler coming to the WWF that the WWF Chart into the biggest marks and I have to bury the NWA or WCW wrestler. Shit is fucked up.
Love this story, had to "circle back" and listen to again....
According to Sherri Martel, Juanita Wright really was a huge Dusty mark and cried when she was told she was turning heel on him. Supposedly the partnership ending soured her on the whole industry.
OptimumTaurus she was in uswa
Hey Juan-Neeee!!!! Sheeettt Bay-Bee !!! Dah Dream is OO-Vah!!!
Sapphire had lust in her eyes.....oooooohhhhh yeah
Saphire turned heel?I don't remember this.
@@adamsmashups4839 yea, thanks to Dibiase's dollars. Started as gifts from a secret admirer. Turned out to be Dibiase. Barely saw her again after the big reveal. I believe this was right before Dustin coming in. So it could have been a way to separate Sapphire from Dusty, before Dustin came in.
Bruce's Macho Man is spot on lol
His Dream is great too!
its not though
He has the voices and phrases down 100% 😂
I forgot the story. I'm just listening to this for the impressions.
Bruce's impression of Pat Patterson sounds just like Super Mario.
And his impression of Randy Savage is just like Ralph from the Muppet Show. 😂
maybe they were referring to Dream being Yellow (chicken) & Sapphire was the black, to coincide with the black & yellow polka-dot outfit. 😉
In my Monsoon best/worst: "WILL YOU STOP?!" ;)
damm his Randy and dusty impressions are gorgeous! lol
just dusty
Dusty Rhodes ain't the first to run a business to a ground but but didn't own it like Randy savage went out of business
Dusty, in all his glory, (if you will) could go for 30-60 minutes night after night. He may not have had the body, but he had the engine. Never saw the muscle heads of WWF do that....
The "muscle heads" in WWF worked 200 nights a year and had time restrictions. The guys wrestling 30 to 60 minutes yawners down south were traveling/wrestling far less and using a ton of rest holds. I laugh when i hear fans believe match length makes a match better. It doesn't. Unless it's a special special match, no match needs to be more than 20 to 25 minutes. Long winded matches suck the life out of everything. I. E. Edge vs Orton at WM 36. 20 minutes too long.
At 8:26 he brings up Saphirre, and leaves the question open ended. I think he wanted Bruce to bring up the fact that she was black and Dusty was white. Word has it that Dusty was somewhat racist. And that putting Dusty together with her to rub it into Dusty's nose. Dusty was a dbuya-C-dubya guy.and it was common for New York to ruin southern guys' careers. Or if they turn down New York previously, I hear they liked to ruin guys if Vince had a beef.
Dennis Richards
Really? I always heard the exact opposite of Dusty. He was very much loved by the black audience, he loved them, used “black” mannerisms, And “black” slang, he very much inspired. By 70’s Soul, his daughter in law was black.
I’ve never heard anything about him being a racist. Maybe he wasn’t as PC as we are today, but you have to remember what time period he was raised in. And where he was raised.
I heard stories bout both sides of Dusty but if he was racist he paying for it now before and in death(Brandy being black and his daughter in law)
@@moriordan85 Bad News Allen gives a story about study talking to a black wrestler and was referring to him as the N word. Bad News told the wrestler to not allow Dusty to talk to him like that. He was a white Southern wrestler, it was definitely safe to say he was racist. Most were according to Bret Hart who did a shoot shoot locker rooms talk in Southern locker rooms .
@@marcleon1513
Yeah, I’m not gonna assign the term racist to someone I’ve never met, simply because he’s white, southern, & a wrestler. Just because Bret hart says so doesn’t mean shit to me. I also believe someone can do or say something racial, or racist without being a racist.
@@moriordan85 Yeah because a nobody like you knows better than Bret who was there. GTFO my comment.
Man, Prichard is interesting to listen to but the co-host here is a real piece of work.
I feel like Pat Patterson's main job in WWF/E was to ask why.
Going to today's wrestling that's what AEW and at time WWE needs....just when matches and stories are proposed, someone to ask why.
Thank you sapphire! Thank you sapphire! She was awesome !
Vince came up with "Puppies". Never thought that childhood memory would be shattered
on WWE network...Has Dusty's American Dream theme music been replaced by Wheel of Fortune music?
Damn shame we never got the Savage/Dusty 1v1 blow-off................. In fact, that was the case with each of Dusty's WWF feuds (Boss Man, Savage, DiBIase).
...Blue Meanie had Jazmine St. Claire...so...
Conrad has the audacity to insinuate that Saphire wasn't an appropriate valet because of her weight....what's he weigh, again? 320? 370? 490? I'm really starting to dislike Conrad. A LOT....
Bruce’s impressions in order
4. Dusty
3 . Vince
2 . Macho
1. Cornette
You missed Jerry Jarrett..that's 1a
my question has always been during this time.........who did Sherri travel with?!
jerry didn't use puppies 1st on TV... road dogg did
I remember that too! He said that to Debra.
Thought I was the only one that remembered that...
He was talking about Debra if I remember correctly...
I love how OSW Review refers to Sapphire as Brown Sauce
lol Savage referred to Dusty as Virgil, his real name. lol but still called Bruce "Brother Love". lol thats funny to me.
Dusty took credit for Sapphire and her polka-dots in an interview. It was his idea to keep himself from being the only heavyset dancing person in polka-dots. To be fair, it worked. It's like standing alone in your underwear versus standing in your underwear alongside somebody else. It was Dusty's way of fighting back against attempts to compromise his image.
early 90's WWF gimmicks were the shits.
bruce should do a wrestling impression podcast
Fuck I thought macho man made a cameo
Around WM6 was when I was probably the most into wrestling as a ten year old kid. And I absolutely loves Savage in his Macho King period, I still think he was the best heel in the entire business at that time bar none 1989 through 1991.
Vince: "Dusty, don't change a thing. By the way, here's your polka-dotted gimmick."
Dusty too good for the elbow drop!?
Jesus Conrad how many questions you gone ask about sapphire
Lol so hilarious the imitation of macho man and Elton john
Interesting, vince didn't want to keep people from being happy, to move on back then, unlike today
Pat didn’t like Dusty at all.
Best Macho Man impression of all time 🤣
I would love to see Macho Man All Fired Up
How many themes did Jimmy Hart write?
He would eventually do all the WCW themes in the mid-late 90's, iirc.
laenav 85%
I love this.
Duth-day Rhode-th
Fuck, Brother Love sounds just like the Nacho Man. Thats awesome.
Man I hated that polka-dot ring wear. Fuck that looked awful.
he actually doesnt.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 his Patterson has me dead lol
Great story Brudda Love.
Can someone confirm. Is it true Dusty was fired for testing positive for steroids?
More like Lardroids
Hardly lol
“We don’t do things for a rib.”
Please explain how Akeem the African Dream wasn’t a rib on The American Dream
He has one of the best Macho Man impressions wow and Dusty. Didn't Dusty have Baby Doll? A total opposite but was that in WWE?
actually it was road dogg who called them " puppies" when he tried to make it a condition of a match that if either he or the outlaws woon we would see " her puppies"...I forget what the match exactly was but I remember that
I’ve almost watched all of these after seeing the 1st 4-5 on the @WWENetwork my new favorite show/podcast i hope there will be a @UltimateWarrior one on the network
I remember back in the day when the UnderTaker was refered to as "Kane the UnderTaker". For years I was confused when WWF came out with Kane. Until the internet. But I remember those days. Mark had great purple eye make-up back in the day then.
Sure Bruce, Dusty was in great shape... if u consider round a great shape!!
He was kane the undertaker for 1 day lol
I may be just saying stuff but it looks like Dusty had lost a few pounds whenever he first came back to WCW in 91?
So you're telling me that's Jimmy Hart voice on Dusty's theme
