Bruce Prichard

====Controversy and release (1991)====
The character of Brother Love was considered controversial by some given its apparent roots in religion and televangelism. It was introduced around the time of notable scandals involving such televangelists as [[Jim Bakker]] and [[Jimmy Swaggart]]. Occasionally, segments involving the Brother Love character would lean further into these religious roots and would engender negative reactions from some audience members. One such segment involved Brother Love playing the part of a [[charlatan]] "faith healer," during which he was portrayed as having healed an actor pretending to be blind and crippled to again be able to see and walk. 
The Brother Love character was retired from the WWF in March 1991 after being attacked and beaten by [[The Ultimate Warrior]], who also destroyed The Brother Love Show set. The actual reason for this change was Prichard being offered the choice of continuing to work on-screen as Brother Love, or working solely in a production role.
While the company did receive some complaints regarding the Brother Love character, Prichard's release from the WWF was due to personal and private issues he had at the time. He would be re-hired by the WWF the following year in a resumption of his production role.
