On the latest “83 Weeks” podcast, Eric Bischoff addressed fan questions, including whether he’d work for Vince McMahon in a hypothetical new wrestling venture. Rumors suggest McMahon may be launching an entertainment company, though no official announcements have been made.
Bischoff stated unequivocally that he’s moved on from professional wrestling:
“I realize now that there is nothing I could do in professional wrestling that’s ever going to bring me fulfillment. It’s just not because I’ve done it, and I’m proud of what I’ve done. Unless I can do something that could make me feel as excited as I felt back then about professional wrestling, I can’t do it. I just don’t have that desire to focus on that business any longer for Vince or anybody else.”
He further explained that taking such a role would be for the wrong reasons, potentially leading to a repeat of past negative experiences, referencing 2019:
“If I took a job like that, I would be taking it for the wrong reasons and would probably end up having the same results that I did in 2019. I’m just not that interested to commit that much to that industry.”
Bischoff concluded by emphasizing his gratitude for his time in wrestling, but firmly placing it in his past:
“As much as I respect it and am grateful for it, that period of my life is in the rear view mirror and I enjoy every time I look in the rear view mirror and see it.”
