Bruce Prichard Addresses the Original Plans for Don Callis in WWE, Discusses How His Role as The Jackal Didn’t Work

– During his Something to Wrestle podcast, Bruce Prichard discussed Don Callis’ run in WWE. Below are some highlights (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Prichard on the original plan in WWE for Don Callis: “We also had Don Callis who got put in that position because Rick Martel went to WCW. The original idea for Don Callis was to team with Rick Martel and call themselves ‘The Models.'”

Prichard on repackaging Callis as The Jackal with The Truth Commission: “Now we are sitting there with Don and Vince McMahon was like, well, Don is Canadian, so he can be part of The Truth Commission. We had Luc Poirier as Sniper and Bull Buchanan as Recon. It was a hodgepodge. I don’t know if it was an idea that anybody really got about this South African dictator. I don’t know if it was big news in the United States of America. They didn’t get it. It just didn’t work, it wasn’t a good idea and it just didn’t work.”
