Eric Bischoff Weighs In On WWE Repackaging Brian Pillman Jr. As Lexis King For NXT
Bischoff addressed WWE’s divisive decision to change the second-generation star’s name during the “Strictly Business” podcast.

Bischoff isn’t the only one impressed by the new persona, as “Busted Open Radio” hosts Mickie James and Tommy Dreamer both felt that the new name was a smart way for the second-generation wrestler to differentiate himself from his father, and also that King’s words had a modicum of truth in regards to what the wrestling business takes from families like Pillman’s.
