Bischoff on AEW: “I just can’t take anything AEW seriously right now”
Eric Bischoff gave his thoughts on various topics on the latest episode of his 83 Weeks Podcast.
During it, Bischoff talked about Tony Khan’s big announcement on this Wednesday’s Dynamite. The speculation is that the announcement will be a Dynamite date in Boston for the arrival of Mercedes Mone, the signing of Mone or the signing of Kazuchika Okada. Here are the highlights:
On Tony Khan’s big announcement:
“And just like everything else that we’ve seen out of AEW, a week later, it won’t matter. Because it’s not going to grow the audience and all of this hype and all the anticipation of the big super surprise or whatever it is. When it’s all said and done. All three of Tony’s shows combined won’t equal one Monday Night Raw writing.”
On AEW needing to make a big change:
“I’m sorry. I just can’t take anything AEW seriously right now unless there’s a big change, like we were talking about earlier, and creative. It just is what it is. Nothing’s gonna change. It’s the audience’s continuing to deteriorate. Their live event gates are continuing to deteriorate. They’re having a hard time putting 3000 people in a dynamite live dynamite. Having a hard time finding 3000 people willing to go on a two-for-one basis. Come on. It is what it is. And I know you have a different relationship there. Aaron, you’re a kinder, gentler person than I am, just by nature. I’m just like, I see it. I can’t take anything they do or say seriously, including the big announcement. “
Honestly, at this point, is there any reason why anyone should be taking anything Bischoff says seriously?
I mean, it’s clear as daylight he’s jealous that he’s no longer running a company that’s going head to head with WWE. Plus, if he’s that desperate to stay in the wrestling spotlight, why didn’t he renew his contract with AEW?
At this point, absolutely no one should be paying any attention to him anymore.
@WrestleFan
The answer to your first question is: Because you have a bunch of people who continue to bring attention to him whenever he opens his mouth, completely disregarding whether what he says is true or not and focusing only on the fact that he is who he is (as in someone who offends what they like).
Also, how do you renew something you never had? I’m asking, because I also would like to renew my contract with AEW…
So let me get this straight. Eric Bischoff, the guy who booked Judy Bagwell as a tag team champion because he disliked tag team wrestling, booked Rick Steiner to feud with Chucky from Child’s Play, and signed off on Ric Flair in the insane asylum angle, can’t take anything AEW does seriously?
It always amazes me that the IWC can go online and complain about everything. , but when someone who has actually had success in the business says anything , then those same people lose their minds
@James–It’s not exclusive to the IWC.
Says the guy who presented HLA on Monday Night RAW. I swear that either Bischoff has naked photos of someone, or he is the luckiest man on the planet because he is just awful.
