brockpierce1984, exactly which site was it, where a man claiming to be Brice Beckham, claimed that Bob Uecker was a tyrant on the set? Was it a facebook account? Can I find it via a search through the wayback machine?

[brockpierce1984]

@vnisanianisback Hi, well the site was there a long time ago. I think it was some website like "Washed Up Celebrities:Brice Beckham Blogspot..." maybe not that particular one.

Who knows, its maybe not there anymore, which could imply that those rumors were just false.

It was a long time ago, since I ve seen that....1996???

@brockpierce1984 If you're wondering what are my thoughts on the rumors, here they are.

I honestly don't think they're true. Based on the interviews I've read over the years, they seem to have nothing but good things to say about each other, and that they still keep in touch occasionally. And of the research I've done about Mr. Belvedere, I couldn't find any news about backstage antics. Certainly not enough to form an episode of the E True Hollywood Story.

[brockpierce1984]

@vnisanianisback I agree with your that they were just some malicious rumors ( just like the ones about Trevor Blumas being gay and a "boyfriend snatcher").

But if you hear the audio com on the DVD box set and watch the interviews, you can see that there must be some tensions between the cast and Bob Uecker.

Maybe not bad tension, just professional ones.

Still that was a long time ago and I guess they got along much better now, even just for sympathy after Chris Hewitts unfortunate passing.

I had a crush on Tracy Wells back then when I was a kid

Bob Uecker is gonna be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

@tubesock7777 I wasn't watching any of the final season of Mr.Belvedere because it aired at the same time that Hockey Night In Canada did.

9-22-2011. Ain't it fine, ain't it fine, Rob Stone is 49 (just like me). Happy Birthday, Rob. You've come a long way since The Jeffersons.

It was supposedly quite something to see.

According to Pat Patterson and Jerry Briscoe (WWE head honchos behind the scenes at the time) Bob get really angry and started yelling at Andre (who was 7"5 and weighed 550 pounds) and then lunged at him while throwing a left hook and Andre just gave him the "dead eye stare" treatment because he could have taken him apart.

Supposedly no one in the locker room at either of the wrestlemania's he attended liked him very much.

[brockpierce1984]

@Hammerhead547 Bob must still be quite a tough guy and that in these recent years of that interview. Imagine how tough he was back 20 years ago when he was rough-housing Brice than, if true

[Hammerhead547]

There is a story about Bob trying to attack Andre The Giant at Wrestlemania 4 after their interview bit that ended with Andre (keyfabe) choking Bob.

Supposedly he thought Andre was a little to rough with him even though witnesses have said that Andre was a gentle as could be and had to be restrained by four or five people because he was going to try and jump Andre (who was twice his size) .

Vince must have forgiven him however because Bob is now in the WWE Hall Of Fame for no real reason.

[brockpierce1984]

@Hammerhead547 I would assume that it was an accident when Brice's jaw got broken...but by whom or where is a mystery.

I read an article on the internet, allegedly written by Brice, saying that his jar got broken specifically by Bob in an accident on set. But who knows if that was true..

After I found this interview, I noticed some tensions between the cast toward Bob...but then on the audio commentary and the new 2005 interview on the DVD, it seems a bit more friendlier but still distant.
