For several years Prichard was a senior trainer for WWE&#8217;s developmental system.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Tom is praised for his work with young athletes and we&#8217;re thrilled to have him join our staff,&#8221; said MLW CEO Court Bauer. &#8220;As MLW grows, so does our need for more top-level coaches.
