Eric Bischoff on getting fired from WWE Raw in 2019. SUBSCRIBE: / @83weeks BECOME A 83 WEEK MEMBER NOW: / @83weeks #ericbischoff #83Weeks #wwe #aew #wcw
He literally said he couldn’t get on to the way WWE ran things in 2019. It just meant that the structure at the time wasn’t aligned with Eric’s vision and thus he was let go
He was only hired as a scapegoat as WWE were nervous about being on Fox. They wanted to create an in between Fox and Vince to take the heat if anything went wrong
Eazy should look at Rick Rubin’s book the Creative Act as a blueprint for what he was and is trying to get out there. Write a book like that but for wrestling storytellers.
I think Eric’s wins and loses at the creative side is priceless knowledge. I think wrestling stories are pretty much the same story telling but adding the unique flavor or the wrestlers. Also the ability to read the audience is key. Simple put wrestling in the ring is never enough, you need drama or story telling to not blow your material too fast but keep it interesting. As people says here, you’re AEW could use that help.
Tony Khan might benefit from taking some cues from Eric, as it seems that Tony is currently perceived as someone who is merely playing with wrestling action figures using his father's financial resources.
@@clarencekeller7684He's the son of a billionaire. His brain doesn't work like a normal person's. He doesn't understand budgets, he doesn't understand being told he can't have something or can't do something. He just plays in his sandbox and pays for whatever he fancies. He's in his own little bubble. His ppv ended at 12:30am last night on the East Coast because he doesn't give a damn how if affects anyone
I believe the only reason Vince hired bischoff briefly in 2019 is be cause aew was starting up and Vince was locking down any talent or threat into wwe contracts so that they would not go to aew and help Tony khan. But once Vince saw that aew wasn't a threat to his business and didn't know what they were doing he let floods of stars and staff like bischoff go.
Eric is such a salesmen. He always talks about story structure in a way that almost convinces you that he knows what he’s talking about. However, his creative output says differently & the ones doing the heavy lifting during his creative peak were Terry Taylor & Kevin Sullivan.
The clickbaitiest clickbait title ever. He never says exactly why he was fired from WWE, just that he was fired before his "coffee got cold". Is that a euphemism? Also, 30 years and the formula isn't ready? So just like New Coke.
I would honestly argue that the things eric did with the cruiserweights payed off more and changed wrestling much more then the nwo stuff all the names that became top of the industry that wer opening 97 and 98 ppvs some of whom are still huge today rey mysterio chris jericho that was all because of bischoff
Triple H should bring Eric in and let him oversee raw or smackdown when they switch to Netflix. He has a lot of experience and I think he would work well with Triple H today.
The problem here is that the entire idea is wrong. Successful story lines in wrestling aren't written they are developed. Along the way there are creative ideas that help stoke the flames until you get the heat up enough to make some money on it. Give two guys a reason to fight, escalate the tension, draw it out for a little while, then pay it off and let the crowd go home happy. Eric can do pretty much every other aspect of a wrestling company well, don't touch the creative.
@@christopherbako we are mostly agreeing... a story-line is something you point to after the fact instead of write in advance. A good booker would setup something to work with, and a reason for people to fight.
Critics will laugh at Bischoff and say he killed WCW and that he made many mistakes. And? Look, he beat WWF for 83 weeks in a row. No one else won even one week. Vince McMahon has done stupid storyline after stupid storyline that makes anything bad Eric did pale in comparison. Remember Katie Vick? Remember Duke “The Dumpster”? Remember Mae Young giving birth to a freaking hand? I could literally list example after example of dumb shit WWF/WWE has done that’s far worse than anything Bischoff or even Russo did while in WCW. WCW always had a great pro wrestling and reality based product. If Eric hadn’t been as successful with WCW during the Monday night wars, WWE would still be cartoon characters doing silly stories that made no real world sense. Whether you love, hate, or are indifferent to Bischoff, he changed the pro wrestling business for the better and can still do pro wrestling stories better than anything TNA or AEW are currently doing.
Eric Bischoff is a one hit wonder, he made the gamble of hiring all of WWE’s talent of the 80’s and early 90’s. He then took an idea of the nWo from New Japan and he ran that gimmick up to beat the WWE for 83 weeks. He relied on Hulk Hogan to much and Hulk wasn’t about giving new talent pushes, he didn’t think a smaller 5-10 to 6-2 wrestler could be the main event so those guys left WCW and went to WWE to become big stars like Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero. Vince McMahon created new stars and was creative enough to see how the new talent was way better than WCW’s old talent. Eric wasn’t creative and relied on others to much that was his downfall. He blames others for his failures and never blames himself for WCW dying. Vince Russo and the AOL merger didn’t kill WCW. Eric Bischoff lack of creativity and change created riffs and he wasted to much money signing talent like Bret Hart and not knowing how to use expensive talent. WCW was bleeding money, they weren’t attracting new fans and TNT needed programming that makes money. So AOL executives cut the dead weight and that was WCW. Vince McMahon bought it for next to nothing and made Eric the brunt of the joke when he got hired by WWE and Eric Bischoff was a failure. Eric Bischoff never did anything successful in any other wrestling organization and that’s why he’s a one hit wonder.
I want to see movies get adapted as pro wrestling stories. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy starts out thinking he's won his first world title but nope, Belloq brings in his stable of Novito wrestlers and wins the belt through chicanery. Then Indy finds out about the Lost MITB briefcase of the covenant but he has to win a snake match in the buried temple to get it. Unfortunately Belloq has joined another stable of dudes with a crazy Nazi gimmick and omg you guys they completely bury Indy at the ppv. I mean temple. At this point the fans online complain that Indy is just being wasted by stupid Spielberg and should have instead signed with George Miller and his new Mad Max promotion. But Indy starts racking up wins finally and has a final showdown where Belloq opens the briefcase and it all backfires as Indy is rescued by a stable of crazy angelic warrior looking dudes, leaving Indy all alone to get the pinfall victory and be the only person that comes out alive. Then Marion joins him in the ring to celebrate.
Seriously, pro wrestling is telling a story. Eric and others like him such as JR etc and top wrestlers can TALK and tell a story. This Conrad fella is not needed on the mic on any wrestling podcast. He can produce but Conrad pal stay off the god damn mic on wrestling podcasts and let the wrestling talent do the talking as that is what they are naturally born to do.
Give us to guys. Tell and show us why these two guys are worth our time individually. Then give them something to be angry about between them. Let the compete against one another over that thing. They have to care about it more than we do. Then later how one keeps the other from succeeding by unfair means that is not stupid like cattle prods.
@@shaneg4383 they werent desperate. they were forced to it. fox demanded vince to delegate. i think vince wanted both to fail so fox wont complain about vince management.
@@qweasdzxcname WWE is significantly better off without his last minute rewrites and illogical booking ideas now. but yes SD going to FOX had major influence on Bischoff/Heyman coming in. Heyman at least landed on his feet managing Lesnar and Reigns. I think it all worked out in the end.
Bias people just want to listen to those that agree with them, so they can feel good about themselves. You might as well feel you don't need a conscience.
There have always been a turnover of wresting promotions. Let AEW evolve and disappear. The best talent will stay in pro wrestling industry, which is what has always happened for decades. Everyone, stop the obsessing about the AEW company.
Eric Bischoff Could’ve Make WWE Successful In 2002-2005 & 2019 But Karma Happened To WWE For Vince McMahon Buying WCW & Mistreating Wrestlers. Eric Bischoff Could’ve Done Better Than Vince/WWE. Karma For WWE. It Why Eric Wasn’t Given Creative Control A Work From Above☝️ . WWE Ratings Continued To Drop. WWE Really Need Eric Now. He’d End This Indy Era. But They Don’t & Didn’t Deserve Him. 🙌
Lol. Eric built up WCW extremely fast and strong. He then completely destroyed it with bad storylines, and pushing bad wrestlers over the (obviously) more talented ones because he "had a feeling about those guys". He's washed. He's been washed. I pray he never ever has a position on WWE or AEW's creative team. HHH is doing an amazing job and Tony Kahn can fuck up potentially great storylines all be his self
@@ONECrewReacts Eric wasn't in control of WCW when it was tanking. When AOL/Time Warner kept cutting budget to WCW, Eric wasn't there. It was doomed no matter who would have been in control. Literally everyone who was there has said that. Rhodes and Sullivan were on creative but were told what they could and couldn't do by a bunch of TV suits, and the networks were using the profits of WCW to pay the debts for other programs until they absolutely bled it dry. Vince didn't even save it. He bought it when it was dying and then deconstructed it instead of trying to save it. It never had to do with "pushing bad wrestlers over the (obviously) more talented ones." Lots of guys who can't wrestle get over the guys who can. Sometimes the best wrestlers don't get over even when pushed because they lack charisma, or the ability to tell a story, or how to get over on the mic. Or they get in matches with guys that they just can't work well with. There are 100 reasons why a wrestler or an angle can fail, and only 1-2 that will make them succeed, and it isn't predictable.
Eric has said numerous times he didn't want to have anything to do with creative when he got to WWE. He only wanted to be a talent. Also, while the WWE product got boring over the years, Vince was making record profits, year after year. The reason the TKO merger happened was because of the financial position Vince had put the WWE into.

At no point did he explain 'Why I was fired by WWE in 2019!'.....
It's a 3 act explanation. You have to tune in next week. BOOM, more compelling than anything in AEW
@@Timmichanga361 well-played
omg i thought i was losing my grip on reality when the video ended and i still don’t know why he was fired
He literally said he couldn’t get on to the way WWE ran things in 2019. It just meant that the structure at the time wasn’t aligned with Eric’s vision and thus he was let go
This is why Eazy is a goat tier carny
This is how it should be. NO CONRAD 👏👏👏👏
I like that Eric was able to talk without the 9 min of interruptions
I thought CONrAD was finally listening to feedback then realized he wasn't on this one at all lol
You don’t miss the constant “ rumor and innuendo “
Just let Eric talk.
Conrad fd his way into wrestling
He was only hired as a scapegoat as WWE were nervous about being on Fox. They wanted to create an in between Fox and Vince to take the heat if anything went wrong
Bingo.
Grossly misleading title.
Eazy should look at Rick Rubin’s book the Creative Act as a blueprint for what he was and is trying to get out there. Write a book like that but for wrestling storytellers.
So is he going to do one explaining why he got fired?

I don’t recall it like this. You were ready to go full bore and wanted to fully engulf yourself. Now you’re saying a diff tune
Tony Khan might benefit from taking some cues from Eric, as it seems that Tony is currently perceived as someone who is merely playing with wrestling action figures using his father's financial resources.
Tony's made it clear he's not interested in taking cues from anyone. That was his stance 5 years ago and it still is now
@@daleharris3809 which makes one think for being such a nice guy, it sure is a very arrogant declaration to make and hold on too.

Eric Bischoff invented the 3 Act Structure.
Hi Eric and conrad awsome wrestling podcast 😀
Kiss ass
You have 3 minutes Eric.
HLA, HLA, HLA
11 minutes of talking. Not one second of it discussing the title of this video.
8:20
It's pretty arrogant to think I'm
gonna come in and transform their creative process within 2 year and just leave lol

He couldn't keep up with the wwe processes
Did Eric really answer the question? I’ve listened to this twice and I’m not sure “why was I fired” was answered
No conrad he is a very bad host
Cry harder
FIRE CONRAD
Cry harder
Of all the wrestling podcasts out there, I enjoy listening to Bischoff the most.
Because Vince was done having his jollies. The only reason he signed Eric was to humiliate him and get even for all the years of antagonism.
You will always learn and better yourself if you learn from mistakes........
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY ERIC 👋 ♥️ 🫂
Did he say why? Nope Did he say how? Yes. Click bait
I would honestly argue that the things eric did with the cruiserweights payed off more and changed wrestling much more then the nwo stuff all the names that became top of the industry that wer opening 97 and 98 ppvs some of whom are still huge today rey mysterio chris jericho that was all because of bischoff
Talked for 10 minutes and didn't say anything....wtf

Time proves you 100% correct. The wrestling industry thrived for years without writers.
Eric has said, he's against storylines. He believed in formats. Because Live TV can't be scripted. So, an overview is what works....after that Improv
@@christopherbako we are mostly agreeing... a story-line is something you point to after the fact instead of write in advance. A good booker would setup something to work with, and a reason for people to fight.
You’re basing that on your experience in wrestling?
Sounds like a wwe show all talking limited 🎬 😆
Bischoff Bitch Off - a new 15min show where eric rants on a topic BY HIMSELF, make it happen!
I figured Eric just identified as unemployed. I'm modern. I'm hip. I'm with it.

10 min 49 seconds u never get back
Conrad just feels so slimey and shady which is why it feels so great when he is not involved.
Talk about a hook with ABSOLUTELY NO PAY OFF...
What other great stories did he have other than the nwo? He never stated.

Sure.

He's doing shows now without Conrad
