Former WCW President and WWE Monday Night RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff has released another episode of his podcast “Bischoff on Wrestling”. You can check out some highlights here:
On Dolph Ziggler winning the Intercontinental Title:
“I think it’s great. I’ve said it before, I’ve said it enough times on this show, and I don’t want to sound ridiculous about it, but I think he’s probably one of the most underrated, um, I don’t wanna say underutilized because that implies that I know something on backstage that I don’t. I just love watching him. I think he’s a phenomenal character, a phenomenal athlete, he’s got a quick wit, he’s obviously very charasmatic. I’ve watched him on, you know, news, he’s relevant, he’s just [a] bright guy. So, I’m happy for him, and I’d love to see more of him.”
On the upcoming HIAC match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks:
“I don’t like it at all. I don’t like it. The standard for Hell in a Cell is pretty high. It physically is what it is. It’s a hardcore match. It’s an extreme match. It’s all of the above and then some. I’ve talked before about expectations and managing expectations with the audience. Sometimes you can do such a great job building something up that you forgot to remember that you also have to deliver. I am not taking anything away from either of those athletes that happen to be women. I am suggesting that the audience may not necessarily want to see that type of entertainment and that type of match out of that type of an athlete. That’s just my opinion.”
