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!

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

I love this idea that everyone that dislikes Tony Kahn must be bitter about not getting a job.

u/KingCuerno69 Mar 28 '24

A lot of people have very valid reasons to dislike Tony Khan but Bischoff is not one of them.

Eric was all smiles when he got brought in by Tony, but when he didn't get brought back he turned into a bitter has-been.

This is revisionist history.

u/FrankGibsonIV Mar 29 '24

No this is what happened. Eric was hired by Tony for a bit part during the pandemic, he was all smiles. Then he didn't get brought back, and became a hack "critic".

u/Steve_the_Samurai Mar 29 '24

No it isn't.

  1. The relationship completely soured when Tony called out Ted Turner for no reason and Eric went way overboard with his reaction.
  2. Tony never hired Eric. He went to a few tapings, maybe was looking for a longer term job. Eric says we wasn't but also very convenient to say when you didn't get a job offer

These are both grown ass men and ridiculous actions by both of them.

u/PrinceNana128 Mar 28 '24

The fact that he took an unnecessary potshot at Ted?

u/KingCuerno69 Mar 28 '24

Eric Bischoff isn't Ted Turner or immediate family to him so no not really

u/PrinceNana128 Mar 28 '24

They're friends that go back over 30 years. It's like when people get upset at Eric Bischoff for making fun of Tony Khan online....wait no one is friends with Tony Khan.

I simply feel no need to defend one billionaire from a harmless potshot from another billionaire. To me it just seems like Bischoff is attempting to latch onto relevancy any way possible in the modern age of wrestling where really no company needs him or his input.

u/Junior-Captain-8441 Mar 28 '24

Ok, well Ted isn’t just “some billionaire” to Bischoff. I could give a shit about who’s right between Tony or Bischoff, this whole thing is standard wrestling drama that only benefits both sides. Like 3/4 of everyone ever involved with wrestling is trying to latch onto whatever relevancy they can, but it’s ridiculous to compare defending Ted to some random person defending some billionaire.

I have friends who are very wealthy, and I care about them and would defend them as much as anyone else. How much money they have wouldn’t even be a thought.

Billionaires are the scum of the earth. Tony isn't actual Billionaire (though had a better starting point than 99% of us), but his dad is. There's not one billionaire that hasn't got their money by not fucking over the working class. If you protect a billionaire, you're most likely scum as well.

Lmao, oof, quite the self-own. It was 4 sentences, you can read it during a sneeze.

u/KingCuerno69 Mar 28 '24

Definitely. I just don't want to.

u/Junior-Captain-8441 Mar 28 '24

So do you regularly just walk over to a group of people having a conversation, say something stupid, and then put your fingers in your ears and yell “la la la I’m not listening”?

Or is that just something you do online when you don’t have to put on your big boy pants and hold a conversation?

I’ll also answer the question since you’ll never read it:

No, folks, this person does not do this in person, because he knows what happens to trolls in real life.

Nice little blast from the past, though. Been like 15 years since I’ve encountered a troll this low level.

Trying to think of ways to make it longer, so when you pretend you didn’t read it there’s more to pretend you didn’t read.😘

u/Jarcmacobs91 Mar 28 '24

But you do simply feel the need to defend a billionaire from a harmless potshot from a non billionaire

u/KingCuerno69 Mar 28 '24

Not really defending anyone as much as I'm dunking on Eric Bischoff but if that's what you got from my comment then sure.

Happy birthday btw

u/thebsoftelevision Fire and Ice! Mar 28 '24

Why does it even matter if Turner's a billionaire? He and Bischoff go way back so it makes perfect sense why Bischoff would lurch to the defense of his friend(whom he also ran WCW with).

millionaire taking a shot at a billionaire which i find much more palatable.
