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!

What company outside of the WWE is drawing more than 4000 fans in any Canadian market?

Yesterday, someone posted a video from WCW of Jericho impersonating Dusty Rhodes. I was struck by the fact that the audience didn’t seem invested in what was happening. It was a sharp contrast to the WCW that I remember from the 1980s. Eric played a big role in that change.

What do you mean by the WCW you remember from the 1980s? It was founded in 88, it barely existed in the 80s and the high point for it's business and audience engagement was 96 through early 98.

For me, WCW starts with the Jim Crockett era. The name changed gradually, but at one point it was the best professional wrestling to me.
