The Blow Off: Brother Love (1991)

Posted: Jun 13th 2026 By: Brian Damage - RingTheDamnBell.com

In pro wrestling, the end to a feud, angle or character is what is known as a “blow off.” Back in the day, the easiest way to have a wrestler leave a territory was have one wrestler beat another wrestler in a loser leaves town match. As wrestling grew and evolved, bookers and writers came up with more creative ways to blow off a character. This series will just focus on the specific characters who were given the blow off and more often than not…were never used or seen again. Some were obviously more creative than others.

Brother Love

Brother Love aka Bruce Prichard was a manager/talk show host for the WWF from the late 80’s til the early 90’s. In 1991, during his talk show segment aptly named The Brother Love Show, Love interviewed the Ultimate Warrior. Love continually insulted the Warrior until he snapped. The Warrior destroyed the Brother Love Show set and then dragged Love to the ring where he beat up Love until he was stretchered out. It would be the last we would see of the character until Prichard returned to the WWF in 1993. In between WWF stints, Prichard went to the GWF (Global Wrestling Federation) as a manager/commentator.

The reason for the burial of the character was due to Vince McMahon hiring a man named John Filippelli to become the WWF’s head of production. Aside from his work as Brother Love, Prichard worked in WWF’s production. Filippelli and Prichard often butted heads on the direction and vision of certain projects. Filippelli requested that he hire staff that he was familiar and comfortable with. That meant Prichard was the odd man out and was fired by the company.
