Is it lowkey wrong for Bruce Prichard to push products as deceased wrestlers?

I don't think Bruce is a bad guy and maybe I'm thinking too hard, but i wonder how Dusty Rhodes or the Macho Mans family feels when they hear imitations of their voices being used to sell products on Bruce's podcast.

Like the rest of us, I love the imitations on the show... but sometimes it seems a bit excessive when done to push products or advertisers

Haven't heard it but yeah that sounds very wrong. Unless the families are already getting a cut (doubtful).

It's kind of an anything-goes business, and he might try to pass it off as a tribute, but he's gotta know that ain't right.

Yeah, I don't think it's right. It's one thing for him to break out an imitation in the natural course of the show, but entirely another to push his t-shirts or sponsors. If I was a member of one of those families, I'd tell him to stop doing ads with the voice. :manny:

What's to say he hasn't?

If there was an issue I'm sure Cody and Genius who aren't shy in coming forward would of spoken out about it.

They were friends of his. He's also keeping their legacies alive. I'm sure their families aren't too pissed. That's the life(or afterlife) you sign up for when you become famous.

It’s really not that serious. They played characters on a TV show. It’s a podcast. It’s not that deep. Unless he’s selling shirts with their face, I️ doubt anyone cares.

Aint that serious

Is it wrong for WWE to have cartoons of those dead wrestlers or the roster impersonating those same dead wrestlers

They just got iconic voices and everyone impersonates them anyway
