[1999-07-24-MPPW-TV] Bruce Pritchard, Steve Bradley, J.R. Smooth and Kurt Angle

Talk about it here.

Bruce Pritchard comes out for an interview and is introduced as the Vice President of Talent Relations. He would love to speak to Kurt Angle, who gets a big welcome. Steve Bradley seems jealous. Bruce tells him he needs to up his aggression. Angle wants a title shot right here today against JR Smooth. Smooth treats the request seriously, which is cool since Memphis heels don't do that very often. Angle doesn't promise victory today, but says he will give it his best.

Poor Bradley. Like in real life when he was under WWF contract, he gets overlooked for other talent. Angle keeps standing in front of the camera. Smooth has the gimmick down to a science.

Bruce is looking esteemed and lets Kurt know that the WWF has their eye on him. Kurt takes this opportunity to challenge Smooth to a match later on in the show.

Angle is still wooden on the mic--that will change, but maybe not until late in the year. Smooth is much better and looks cool as fuck. Also seem to be sowing seeds for an Angle/Steve Bradley feud.
