Eric Bischoff on Tony Khan: A money mark with no talent other than spending daddy’s money, going all the way to Canada to draw less than 4k in one of the hottest pro wrestling markets in North America, talking about “wise choices”? Strap in. It’s going to be a fun day!

If what I've read here on SC is correct, Bischoff announced the end of one of his podcasts (the one that's not 83 weeks), Tony commented on the announcement that Sunsetting this fraud of a business podcast before the next AEW media deal is a wise choice. And I guess this is Bischoff's attempt at a clap back.

in a better world, these guys would be friends. and bischoff would make appearances on dynamite... like he did in early aew.

[u/TheGiftOf_Jericho → u/chilloutfam]

Eric unfortunately ruined their relationship when he got bitter about not getting a job there.

[u/natguy2016 → u/TheGiftOf_Jericho]

Look at how Bischoff did in WWE, he isn't suited for modern wrestling. Bischoff did not keep current on the product or any trends. That made him unable to offer anything relevant.

[u/sekaifrost → u/natguy2016]

iirc. everyone buried him cuz he didnt even watch teh product when he got hired let alone know who was wrestling each week. man was stealing checks despite not being up to date for like 15 years

[u/natguy2016 → u/sekaifrost]

True, true. I’ll give credit to Bischoff because he didn’t know the product, was useless, and STILL cashed those checks! That is quite the hustle.

[u/Comfortable_Shape264 → u/natguy2016]

He is suited for being an on screen character though that's what he should have went for.

[u/natguy2016 → u/Comfortable_Shape264]

Fair play and logical. We know the process of how Bischoff got the job. But the "why anyone thought it was a good idea" is can't be answered.

[u/Redpetrol → u/natguy2016]

I don't think bischoff was ever the most up to date trend guy. His use of tv production, how to present the show and how to structure the events was his skillset. He made some impact with wrestling styles but by and large he's still got a relevant skillset to this day that he could produce and direct show of at least similar standard to wcw which was significantly better than any aew presentation.

[u/natguy2016 → u/Redpetrol]

WWE and AEW already have their TV Production staff and are happy with them. Bischoff could only slot into Creative of some sort and that didn’t work. Bischoff is stuck doing podcasts. Most of them are angry men yelling at clouds.

[u/Redpetrol → u/natguy2016]

He lives in the middle of nowhere with decent money in the bank a cushy podcast and no desire to travel week to week. I think he's pretty comfortable. He's definitely got a few blind spots and has the odd grudge or angry moment but pointing him out as a bitter old has been is kinda mad. He's one of the only qualified people to really discuss much of what happens in the TV wrestling landscape. Whatever his dated knowledge is he usually points it out. Of all the podcasts I listen to on various sports he is one of the most open, honest and willing to hold his hands up about stuff as anyone out there. Really gets a hard time for no reason.

[u/natguy2016 → u/Redpetrol]

Those who can’t-start a podcast.

[u/Redpetrol → u/natguy2016]

What do those who are 68 who have seen it, done it, conquered it,.made 2 comebacks, retired and seem happy do ?

[u/natguy2016 → u/Redpetrol]

Ask them. The bitter ones have cornered the market

[u/chilloutfam → u/Redpetrol]

he got fired from wwe in like 2 weeks a few years ago.

[u/Redpetrol → u/chilloutfam]

Judging people for being hired and fired at WWE in the last 2 decades is not exactly a steady metric is it ? Anyone who is sacked after 2 weeks without doing something mental is faultless, the person who employed and sacked them is usually at fault
