Did you know that WWE has a developmental system for their creative team?
Well, they do!
Bruce Prichard confirmed this during the latest episode of his “Something To Wrestle” podcast.
“There is [a creative team developmental system], and you don’t hear about it,” Prichard admitted.
He also spoke during the show about the evolution of the legendary “Gorilla Position” behind the curtain at WWE shows.
“It’s gotten bigger, it’s gotten more sophisticated,” he said. “When Gorilla [Monsoon] did Gorilla, it was a table at the entrance with a monitor and a headset. Gorilla told talent when to go and told them what they did wrong on the way back and gave time cues, and that was it. Nowadays, Gorilla is a place where it’s the last bastion before anybody goes through the curtain.”
Prichard continued, “It’s a place where everyone can congregate, get together, and go over last-minute details. It’s a place for producers to sit. It’s a place for the show producers, like Paul and myself, to sit and be able to interact with the truck and everything in production. You have trainers, you have doctors, and everything right there. So it’s just a more sophisticated area. Now, you can talk to everybody anywhere from Gorilla and communicate. It’s our command center.”
