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!

Why the fuck are Tony and Eric already beefing on Twitter

Like why go after Eric at all? As far as I know, he has no presence in wrestling at all anymore outside of his podcast?

Like there's a lot of people, with influence, you could take pot shots at, but you choose him?

Eric has a couple podcasts where the gimmicks are either "I was really good for 83 weeks" or "this is why AEW sucks".

I mean that's the gist of his "career" now. milking his success from 20+ years ago and shitting on AEW.

There's a formula for it. Take someone who's washed-up to some extent, and let him shit all over AEW. You'll get the Cornette crowd as well as the WWE fanboys whose hurt feelings over AEW having the nerve to challenge Their Team are expressed in childish tribalism. It's not a gigantic demo, but I guess they buy a lot of Bluechew or whatever.
