Titled “The False Finish,” Thompson sat down with Harris for a one-on-one interview that was meant to be a one-off rebuttal to Prichard’s recollection of events. But over three hours later, the duo addressed the comments while also looking back on Harris’ storied career that included seven reigns as NWA Tag Team Champion.
In regards to his WWE debut against Estrada, “Wildcat” admitted that there was some truth to what Prichard said about taking a long time to complete the backstage segment. However, he shared that it was an exaggeration and there were other factors that played into the situation, such as constant creative changes throughout filming.
“Bruce was the producer of the segment, but Bruce was not involved here,” he said. “There were other people in there that were firing off these lines of what to say… I’m not in a place where I can [say] that doesn’t sound right… The lines were just so awful and I was thinking, ‘You got to be kidding me. You guys aren’t coming up with anything better than this?’ But every time I would say what they wanted me to say.”
While Thompson also shared a series of quotes from Estrada that corroborated this information, Harris continued to express his frustration because they did have to shoot the pre-tape several times. Elsewhere, the former WWE Superstar also said that he didn’t receive any help and felt like he was working uphill the entire time.
