Bob Holly thinks that because the entire locker room was pretty sure that the entire event was put together in order to put over dr. Death Steve Williams, among mini other rumors that were circling the drain at that time because that business, especially at that time, there was always someone trying to stir up the boys and one way or another.This is according to Bob Holly's book. The rumors were Godfather and Bradshaw were told to take dives. It's by no means a solid fact like WrestleMania 3's attendance or Andre the Giant's height, but you have to ask yourself...
Is this something the office would do because wrestling is some petty shit? Yes.
Would those guys do it because they were company boys? 100% yes.
Do they get anything out of this? Yes, new gimmicks. A pimp and a team with Ron Simmons(hope those work out), while Bart gets to be thrown off TV by Dr.Death in order to "train" for six months.
So while not admitted to, it at least has to be put out there. WWF may not have immediately known how they were going to humiliate Bart Gunn, but that was always the endgame. Wrestling is carny as fuuuuck.
I would bet my dick on the fact that Bradshaw did not take a dive. Not for Bart Gunn. Not only did they not want BART to win, it wasn't even considered a possibility until he had Advanced a round or two in the fashion but he did it.
Even though Bruce Prichard is as much of a carny as the rest of them, I will trust them about half of half of the shit that he claims or purports on his podcast...
But I'm going to text the word of almost any former office guy from the WWF at this point before I would a lower to Mid card redneck Hot Head who was honestly probably one of the easiest boys to work in the back as it pertains to getting the jimmies rustled about politics and who is going over who and why and how much their pay days are in comparison to his....
Bob Holly got worked back in 1998 as it pertains to the Brawl for all. 15 or 20 years later he reached out to a publisher, told his stories to a Ghostwriter, ghost writer wrote the book and the book worked you.
Sorry
