On the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff weighed in on the news that Blake Monroe, the new WWE name for former AEW star Mariah May, is also the name of an adult film star. He stated he believes the situation “doesn’t really matter anymore” in today’s culture.
“I think as a culture, speaking about entertainment culture, we’ve gotten so numb to every extreme of extreme that’s out there. It’s just another day in the office anymore,” Bischoff explained. “I don’t think it matters at all. I don’t think it matters to advertisers anymore, as long as it’s driving audience… as long as it’s working from an ad revenue point of view, I just don’t think people care anymore.”
He contrasted today’s landscape with how such a situation would have been handled in the past.
“Years ago… certainly 20 years ago, when I was active in the business, it would have been an issue,” he said. “Somebody would have egg on their face… But now it’s like, ‘That’s funny. Let’s go with that.'”
