A Drinking Game For “Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard”

Judging by the hundreds of thousands of downloads it gets each week, Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard is one of the most popular wrestling-related podcasts out there, if not the most popular.

Something To Wrestle offers a unique perspective from other wrestling podcasts as Bruce Prichard is one of the few people to actually be there when many of the WWF, WWE and TNA’s key events took place. Co-host Conrad Thompson — also known for podcasts he has done with Ric Flair and Tony Schiavone — sets up Bruce with the questions and leads needed to tell great stories and clear up rumors.

Now 38 episodes into Something To Wrestle, there are certain things that long-time listeners know to expect when listening to an episode of the MLW hit. There are plenty of call-backs, insider jokes and bits that fans may find themselves quoting to other listeners.

In turn, for the readers of Still Real To Us who choose to imbibe, I have prepared a Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard drinking game for their enjoyment. The beverage you choose to enjoy does not have to be Miller Lite, which Bruce and Conrad seem to have made their drink of choice, but make sure that you enjoy it responsibly.

Those unable to make it to the Gramercy who still want a chance to speak to Bruce, well, all they have to do is order a shirt from Bruce’s Pro Wrestling Tees store as he reportedly calls everyone who orders a shirt.
