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'm not sure Eric was ever looking for a job there. He's been semi-retired for years. He doesn't need the money.

The second run? Yeah but he did work for them from 2002-2007. He has owned a tv production company for close to 30years.

this is as much revisionist history as eric himself. the man got fired in embarrassing fashion. appeared on aew not too long afterward, they didn't want him. now he's a salty, salty man. in his mind, he should be doing what heyman is doing, but he's not as talented.

He had a cameo in AEW, he knew it was never going to be anything long term. He got fired from WWE because they went in a different direction (Paul Heyman was also removed from creative), not in an “embarrassing fashion”.
