There has reportedly been a lot of unfounded rumors circulating the internet pertaining to Bruce Prichard and his status with WWE.
It was reported last Wednesday that Prichard and WWE Hall of Famer Michael Hayes were both on leave from WWE.
Conrad Thompson, who is the host of Prichard’s podcast, Something To Wrestle With, during Monday’s episode addressed Prichard’s absence, noting there has been health issues in Prichard’s family.
Thompson said the following as it pertains to Prichard currently being away from WWE.
“I just want to address the elephant in the room. There’s been a lot of rumor and innuendo about Bruce Prichard. Just to clear it up, Bruce Prichard is still with WWE. Bruce Prichard is not quitting his podcast, but if you’re a longtime listener of this show, you know that there have been health events in the Prichard family and household and right now, Bruce is going to take a little bit of a leave of absence from WWE, and he’s going to be away, taking care of what’s really important.”
