He was even a Butt Monkey behind the scenes, as Mick Foley recounted seeing Bruno targeted with several pranks which seemed more cruel than funny: these included Brickhoue Brown threatening to shoot him for telling racist jokes before revealing his gun wasn't loaded, and Sid Vicious setting Bruno up to be interviewed for a job with WCW but Ric Flair berating Bruno for drinking so early in the day, which left Bruno in tears thinking he'd messed up his big chance before Sid let him in on the 'joke'. As Mick noted, Sid did eventually help Bruno get a job with the WWE (the promotion he'd always wanted to work for) and he's still there now.
