John “Bradshaw” Layfield had a strong, positive reaction upon seeing the cryptic Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff reunion teaser video for the first time on the “Something To Wrestle With” podcast.
“Holy sh*t… That’s freaking awesome!” JBL exclaimed, immediately recognizing the potential impact of the two wrestling titans joining forces again. He praised their individual legacies – Hogan as potentially the “greatest draw of all time” and Bischoff for engineering WCW’s massive turnaround – making their reunion incredibly significant. “Put these two guys together again… and they’ve got something that’s huge, especially as big as wrestling is right now,” JBL speculated.
Podcast host Conrad Thompson fueled the intrigue, confirming the project is substantial and hinting at imminent news. Thompson revealed Bischoff shared the clip with him over the weekend and asked for his thoughts. “I thought it was awesome,” Thompson said. “Dude, if you were going for intrigue and to set the hook and you wanted that NWO vibe, you checked all the boxes.” After privately sharing details with JBL during the recording, Thompson asked rhetorically, “Is that going to be big? Or what?” He further added, “It’s not exactly what everybody thinks… No, it’s bigger.”
Both men seemed convinced this venture, whatever it may be, is more than just a minor project. Thompson strongly suggested a major reveal is coming soon, telling JBL (and the audience), “I might be paying attention to media on Thursday, maybe… Everyone in the sports entertainment world is going to be paying attention and… Eric and Hogan, they’re going to take the internet and put it in their back pocket this Thursday.” JBL, visibly excited by the details he received, concurred, stating, “This could change everything.”
