One could argue that criticism is just another form of passion and shouldn't be entirely ignored. If no one said anything at all then that means, truly, no one cared.
Eric’s criticisms are very valid. He knows what he is talking about. He torpedoed TWO wrestling companies. So he has inside knowledge on how kill momentum.
Yes and no. Whenever hes questioned about khan like the nfl draft topic, he justifies khans actions. Even criticized how the 2 nfl guys for not selling for khan.
Everyone thinks they can run a McDonald's restaurant 😂😂😂 Just let people run their McDonald's restaurant however they want. The fans just go in and order the SAME BIG MAC.
the problem is that people didn't want more McDonald's and when a new restaurant was announced, everybody was excited but sadly, that restaurant turned out to be another McDonald's with worst ingredients.
Is that a shot at eric cuz before the attitude era starting wcw was kicking wwfs ass in ratings. Bischoff has credibility when u hear what his criticism of khan.
Eric has a gimmick. Many things he says are legit. But he has an audience just like Jim cornette does. So he can’t be too positive. One thing Eric is, is a businessman. He knows where the money is right now. It’s anti aew podcasting. He was happy with aew during its early years but when the perception began to turn post 2022 he found a market for criticizing the product. Many others joined in when they saw how much cornette was making on views.
Here's what I think: 1. He's entitled to his opinion 2. He's turned AEW criticism into a cottage industry and clearly gets more business doing that than anything else right now 3. Contrary to what Tony Khan and many of the hardcore fans think, AEW is not perfect and it's not above criticism. Khan and the hardest of hardcores seem to think the company should get a free pass 4. Anyone who's actively employed by AEW either keeps schtum or is blindly loyal to the company but that magically changes as soon as they leave. I'm guessing NDAs stop them from really going all-out but not a single talent who's gone has completely refrained from criticising the company. I can't wait for Dax Harwood to leave and do a complete 180 on the mindless cheerleading from the past year or so 5. Tony Khan started it by going after WCW and Ted Turner while as usual blowing AEW's achievements all out of proportion 6. All of the Bischoff/Khan hatred could be a work anyway 7. Nobody cares what I think
I agree with Eric. The ratings seem to be proof that he is correct. MJF is a generational talent, but he is being buried and the television views are proof, even he can’t move the needle.
I'm a casual and there has to be a problem with AEW and TK. MJF is by a distance the most impressive wrestler to me since Punk. It took me a while to get CM Punk but MJF was instant. He is far better than Reigns, Cody etc. imo I haven't viewed wrestling closely since the early 2000s but like to keep in touch via YT etc. so check out all the names that get traction.
It doesn’t matter what Eric, or Jim Cornette, or whoever else thinks. NUMBERS SPEAK LOUDLY. So when ratings are down, looking to blame UA-camrs is quite GOOFY.
We all love you, JR. And from watching you for decades, we also know that when it comes to wrestling, you’re a lot smarter than you act when you defend AEW.
You need character classes filled.1) A Boogeyman who scares us 2) An unstoppable force 3) Crafty and Compelling Cheater 4) Technician 5) Daredevil 6) Comic Relief 7) Giant 8) Cerebral Mastermind 9) Rebel 10) Compelling Tag Teams 11) Promo King 12) Eye Candy
Well I'm glad you're not doing the booking cuz I would want to see Stone Cold Steve Austin do anything in the ring!!!! I'm sure at least 75% of the fans agree homie!!!!
Tony Khan lives inside a fantasy, delusional world where he’s surrounded by yes men who won’t tell him the truth. AEW is and has been on the bubble for awhile now because of ineffective management and talents doing whatever they want. Eric’s criticism is usually very valid and everything he says is spot on. These days Eric tends to echo what Cornette & Russo have also said which is a harbinger of doomsday. It would be different if Eric and the others were attacking AEW for no reason. It’s all relevant and valid. At some point, at least one performer(maybe many more) will die or be crippled in an AEW ring. At the current rate, I’d be shocked if AEW survives another calendar year between abysmal ratings, poor attendance, and the endless potential for company ending lawsuits due to negligence.
I love the whole "that doesn't work for me brother" meme but if you think about it. Austin walked out on the company because they wanted him to put over the "next big thing" with no hype or ppv payoff. Who stepped into his place and not ONLY put over the next big thing but he even bladed something he's only done a handful of times. So where's scsas meme? "I quit cuz stone cold said so" something lol
It's not mouse clicks, it's the wire on his headset rubbing against his shirt because he keeps rocking back and forth in his chair and his mic is picking it up. And I agree you, so annoying I couldn't finish the video.
This is a ridiculous question. If you are going on an air wave and bad mouth the company you openly work for, well let's just say you will be looking for a new job.
When and if something drastic does happen with an AEW wrestler, injury wise, all this will be taken back retrospectively. Follow me. All the signs of a tragedy are here but guys like JR will continue to fight the battle for AEW because the checks keep coming. If a young wrestler dies in the ring next month trying to do a triple Indy through 9 tables, I can see JR dialing it down and saying yeah, we should've reeled in the talent a bit. Whoops 🤷
When Eric, Russo, Al Snow and Jim Cornette all agree on the same flaws that AEW has then maybe someone should fix them. JR would’ve had Lethal, Joe and Styles as the faces of the singles division with Beer $ and the Dudley’s being the top tag teams and Gail Kim with Kong being the top Women’s division.
I had no idea jr smokes (considering his past health problems) but since he does i would like to see him smoke a doobie and do the podcast just to see what happens.😄
A guy who cried weekly about wearing masks and social distancing during Covid sat home and smoked……. Makes sense

Eric makes good points in regards to AEW sometimes but he does it with malice in my opinion. They're not really teaching moments, so it seems like he's hating to a certain degree.
He hates AEW, he wanted to work for them, just to bury it. He goes beyond criticism. It's hypocrisy, he says things he wouldn't say about the fed ever. If you can't see the hate than you're a mark. But of course marks are bias.
AEW’s problems are two-fold. First, terrible writing (Tony Khan), and second, besides Jericho (who is well past his prime) they only have one true megastar… MJF. There are other talented people, but none of them are stars, and Tony Khan doesn’t know how to make them stars.
They had Cody Rhodes and punk. They literally handed both on silver platter to wwe. Those 2 are keeping wwe afloat while roman is off TV. Both were shit on when they were in aew but were immediately glazed when arriving in wwe.
You’ve gotta take the words from the man that ran 2 separate companies into the ground - while abrogating all responsibility for having done so - with a grain of salt.
if you think eric was what killed wcw that's a very dishonest stance the higher ups made them tone down what got them over in 97 then eric was sent home vince was brought in and as much as I dislike vince Russo he had bad booking at thatt time but bad booking could have been fixed wwe went through several years of bad booking same with every other company bad booking can be fixed what killed wcw was ted turner no longer being in control and the new bosses after the AOL merger did not want wrestling on turner network television and sold wcw along with several other properties ppl seem to forget wcw wasn't the only thing cut from the turner network and from the company several sports teams were also sold as well as several other properties and trade marks try actually digging deeper then oh eric was president so he killed it well that's also not correct he was brought back in 99 not as president but as part of creative try freaking doing some research
@@ericcombs4007it’s not dishonest. It may be simplistic, but it’s definitely not dishonest. I’ve done plenty of “freaking research.” Yes, WCW had corporate issues. Yes, losing Ted hurt their position. But also yes, if WCW hadn’t been hemorrhaging money, they might have stood a better chance. And why were they hemorrhaging money? ATM Eric. He handed out million dollar contracts like candy. And that might have even been sustainable if it wasn’t for waning audience interest. And why did interest wane? Overbloated nWo. And what led to that? Hogan’s “that might work for me, brother.” And who enabled that? Eric “Look at me: I’m one of the boys!” Bischoff. I’ve got books on this subject, not just UA-cam vids. Fairly certain that qualifies as references of research.
He was complementary of AEW until Tony Kahn took a shot his friend Hulk Hogan. It's cool he's a good friend but some of his commitments are stupid. He was embarrassed about AEW using blood but Hulk bleeding like a pig in TNA.
Just remember guys JR signed NDA with AEW which means he cant slander aka trash talk his own company Which is Why he's always praising AEW Even though it's going to shit
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But an opinion given by someone based on 2.3% of their life experience, should be taken with a grain of salt. Eric is bitter. Nothing wrong with that, we will all be when we get to be 70 years old. It happens...
@@neiljohnson2067 True, the difference JR @ 00:54 into the podcast says he is bias because he is paid by AEW. Bischoff can not be honest with his "fans"and admit that he is bias. Never take someone with a grain of salt that admits where they stand and why, take them for what they say. Life Lesson and not from The Learning Tree.
Its funny af Eric keeps saying that he's the only one to beat wwe head to head, and that aew doesn't compete with wwe head to head. Everybody forgets that wwe tried to put a show head to head with aew, got humiliated, tucked their tails and ran away to another night
Ya a show with a tenth the production, and all green no names……. Go head up with Raw and Smacksdown. You and your 649k friends can talk about how great orange cassidy vs Roddy Strong was, both guys looking like they work at the mall
Never liked aew. Its a glorified indy show in my view. I know many will disagree, ill probably get told i know nothing about wrestling, the classic name calling . Buts its worth voicing my opinion. Oh and tony khan bug eyes creep me out
Bischoff saw Cornette amass a large following by being funny with his criticism and decided to try to do the same. Unfortunately for him, he isn't funny, so it comes off like a jealous ex lashing out.
@@jabrockobiden9434Sure but Bischoff is literally the only person on planet earth that put WWE on the ropes and like him or not he was one of the most important people for the wrestling boom of the 90s. I can't say the same from Cornette.
Bischoff is literally the only person on planet earth the last 40 years that had WWE on the ropes for 83 weeks on a row. Marks love to shit on him but take Meltzer's words as gospel. 😂😂😂 Well Meltzer doesn't know shit about the business. He can know it's history but when it comes to the business Meltzer is a complete imbecile.
Eric loves to stir shit for views, hell his own motto is "controversy creates cash." He WANTS to insult people and piss them off. It's a little childish tbh. The fact he ran WCW lets him off the hook in many people's eyes, who think therefore his opinion is valid. And to a point, it absolutely is. It's also steeped in hypocrisy, rooted in jealousy, and spoken with a bitter, spiteful tongue. As an old school WCW fan, and former regular viewer of 83 weeks, I can't listen to the guy anymore. Constructive criticism is one thing, but being told I was a "Meltzer loving dirtsheet reading fuckin idiot" just for enjoying AEW, every single time I tuned in, just became a insulting chore. AEW fans aren't sensitive, they're just sick of being constantly berated by toxic fans just for enjoying a product other than WWE. A product that does a lot more right than it does wrong, yet NONE of these cranky old figureheads comment on that part, which absolutely reveals their true intent.
He's a freaking hypocrite. Him and Nash. They bashed Punk, then stopped once he went to the fed. And that's just an example. WWE called him up not too long ago for an appearance, while he knows Tony Khan doesn't want him around. He screw up TNA, and still has the audacity to talk garbage. One of the Biggest hypocrite in the business. Plus all the marks that agree when all are WWE fans that follow the WWE product during terrible times. Punk even said to stop watching the fed, but the marks didn't listen.
Dude hasn’t he been doing podcasts for like 10 years??? The constant clicks and key taps are agonizing to listen to. It’s like a high schooler’s first podcast
Bischoff doesn’t care about wrestling, it just keeps him relevant because he’s sucked at everything else. If one of his failed studio projects had worked you’d never hear of him.
@@jabrockobiden9434 it's been 5 years it's time to close that place down. Cut the lose n move on Tony is just embarrassing himself n family by keeping that place open If I was Tony's dad I would take the business away n sale it or merge with someone else AEW is WcW 2.0 Tony is just Fan boy with Money he doesn't want to listen to anyone that has been in the business for years
@@LadyTreez420 dude wtf are you even talking about, I'm big hater of aew creative but wanting them to shut down and make hundreds unemployed is just hating to hard FFS, no just hire some writers, find somebody to help with booking, take power away from some talent that dont deserve it. This roster is really strong, but until they get a good creative team there going to struggle tony is so bad as a boss that's in charge and as a booker but the guys got the heart and the want, if he could just get out of his own way and bring proper writers in to help, not yes men like a will Washington who's not got a clue about wrestling business, I have watched wrestling alot longer than will by god Washington and I know I couldn't do it but tony wanted somebody grateful for his money that would nod and say thankyou😂😂😂 the creative stinks aew stinks but let's not wish all thees people become unemployed.

I gta be honest. If we are gonna clash of the two podcasts so to speak. Why do we have Conrad Thompson on both spectrums. We need Conrad Thompson to stay on one side in debates. Not be on Eric bischoff podcast then him be on jr being asked about Eric criticism. It’s hurts the presentation and I ain’t even hating on Conrad Thompson overall. There just some things that it doesn’t make sense and it hurts the side. Cuz we the people need to know in clashes whose side are u on? And I’m certain it’s why a lot of people seem to hate Conrad Thompson. It sucks for presentation purposes. Please in future clashes let’s have different podcasts. I’m certain debaters and lawyers can explain what I’m trying to say here much better than me. Or just leave the names that Conrad hosts out of the Conrad mouth u should.
AEW SUCKS! Moxley is one of the most overrated wrestlers in history. Fat zero physique, horrible on the mic and horrible in the rain. He’s the ultimate warrior without the face paint and Body . Those running that company should all be fired and it should be taken off the air. I thought WWE sucks today but boy AEW makes him look like the WWF of the 80s and 90s.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how classy JR ALWAYS is
He used to be classy. Now he is just one of Tony Clowns ass kissers
Was this particular podcast done before or after JR was in Hospital?
One could argue that criticism is just another form of passion and shouldn't be entirely ignored. If no one said anything at all then that means, truly, no one cared.
Eric’s criticisms are very valid. He knows what he is talking about. He torpedoed TWO wrestling companies. So he has inside knowledge on how kill momentum.
What companies?
@@TL2354 WCW & TNA.
That’s a retarded take…..
So he doesn't get credit for turning WCW into the top promotion in the world, after it was one of the worst in history in only a few years?
@a-paco-lypse4429 TNA torpedoed itself and WCW was torpedoed by Time Warner.
I always like how JR handles these things,
Yes and no. Whenever hes questioned about khan like the nfl draft topic, he justifies khans actions. Even criticized how the 2 nfl guys for not selling for khan.
GREAT TO SEE YA MR ROSS! KEEP MAKING GREAT VIDEOS #CIGSinSIDE

Very surprised that JR does not have more subscribers to his UA-cam channel. He is brilliant.
the country don’t like country slow talk.
If Eric Bischoff couldnt hate on AEW he would have no online platform
Every criticism Eric has had of AEW has been valid. Hats off to JR for this, given his history with Eric.
End of the day, Steve Austin wouldn't "bury" the guy who retired him unless it led somewhere.
I'm just here to watch the experts in the comments tell everybody what's what! 😂
Here's what I think:
1. He's entitled to his opinion
2. He's turned AEW criticism into a cottage industry and clearly gets more business doing that than anything else right now
3. Contrary to what Tony Khan and many of the hardcore fans think, AEW is not perfect and it's not above criticism. Khan and the hardest of hardcores seem to think the company should get a free pass
4. Anyone who's actively employed by AEW either keeps schtum or is blindly loyal to the company but that magically changes as soon as they leave. I'm guessing NDAs stop them from really going all-out but not a single talent who's gone has completely refrained from criticising the company. I can't wait for Dax Harwood to leave and do a complete 180 on the mindless cheerleading from the past year or so
5. Tony Khan started it by going after WCW and Ted Turner while as usual blowing AEW's achievements all out of proportion
6. All of the Bischoff/Khan hatred could be a work anyway
7. Nobody cares what I think
With my fancy hand-held lie detector I purchased from Temu, I've detected zero lies.
If you'd put your seventh point first you'd have saved yourself a fair bit of typing
I agree with Eric. The ratings seem to be proof that he is correct. MJF is a generational talent, but he is being buried and the television views are proof, even he can’t move the needle.
Well he just came back but if he's not in a main event level match at all in, all the bookers there are morons.
I'm a casual and there has to be a problem with AEW and TK. MJF is by a distance the most impressive wrestler to me since Punk.
It took me a while to get CM Punk but MJF was instant. He is far better than Reigns, Cody etc. imo
I haven't viewed wrestling closely since the early 2000s but like to keep in touch via YT etc. so check out all the names that get traction.
@Mark-eg2yd MJF is the real fucking deal. Swerve is good, but they need to get the belt back on MJF soon. He's the best thing they got going.
Or maybe people just aren’t watching wrestling like they used to
It doesn’t matter what Eric, or Jim Cornette, or whoever else thinks. NUMBERS SPEAK LOUDLY. So when ratings are down, looking to blame UA-camrs is quite GOOFY.
Thanks, Mr. Ross is a pleasure.
We all love you, JR. And from watching you for decades, we also know that when it comes to wrestling, you’re a lot smarter than you act when you defend AEW.

What's crazy is MJF is 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 11. Hell last year he was even a 6 for a bit and 10.
Deep down, JR knows AEW is a dumpster fire. But he knows its his only hope rn.
LONG TERM BOOKING!!! that is all...
Eric is just jealous because he don't have a company anymore so he has to bring cut down what Tony K is doing
Eric wants AEW to fail so he doesn’t look like a failure. He wants to make it seem as if it wasn’t his fault that wcw failed.
U sound really stupid This isnt about their talent. Its about tony khan and how he runs it which is truth. Maybe not all but the majority if it.
I dont want to see Austin again unless its vs the Rock. I think everyone would like that.

which is more than id give anything else these days
As for the "main guy" in tna in the early '10s: Mrrrrr....Anderson! IMO.

He doesnt really think that , Khans money does it for him.
Never liked aew. Its a glorified indy show in my view. I know many will disagree, ill probably get told i know nothing about wrestling, the classic name calling . Buts its worth voicing my opinion. Oh and tony khan bug eyes creep me out
Conrad... SMH.
you ever where bot
Eric is just a hater.
Bischoff saw Cornette amass a large following by being funny with his criticism and decided to try to do the same. Unfortunately for him, he isn't funny, so it comes off like a jealous ex lashing out.
Also corneys pinky knows more about wrestling than eric
Thing is cornette doesn't need a job or money what he says is what he thinks
@@williammcmillan-johnstone3962 cornetts an asshole....been chipping away at AEW since day 1
@@jabrockobiden9434Sure but Bischoff is literally the only person on planet earth that put WWE on the ropes and like him or not he was one of the most important people for the wrestling boom of the 90s. I can't say the same from Cornette.
He’s been there. He’s done that. He failed.
I think you misunderstand the meaning of “fail”. 😂
83 weeks. The only guy to ever do it.
Bischoff is literally the only person on planet earth the last 40 years that had WWE on the ropes for 83 weeks on a row. Marks love to shit on him but take Meltzer's words as gospel. 😂😂😂 Well Meltzer doesn't know shit about the business. He can know it's history but when it comes to the business Meltzer is a complete imbecile.
Eric loves to stir shit for views, hell his own motto is "controversy creates cash." He WANTS to insult people and piss them off. It's a little childish tbh.
The fact he ran WCW lets him off the hook in many people's eyes, who think therefore his opinion is valid. And to a point, it absolutely is.
It's also steeped in hypocrisy, rooted in jealousy, and spoken with a bitter, spiteful tongue.
As an old school WCW fan, and former regular viewer of 83 weeks, I can't listen to the guy anymore. Constructive criticism is one thing, but being told I was a "Meltzer loving dirtsheet reading fuckin idiot" just for enjoying AEW, every single time I tuned in, just became a insulting chore.
AEW fans aren't sensitive, they're just sick of being constantly berated by toxic fans just for enjoying a product other than WWE. A product that does a lot more right than it does wrong, yet NONE of these cranky old figureheads comment on that part, which absolutely reveals their true intent.
He's a freaking hypocrite. Him and Nash. They bashed Punk, then stopped once he went to the fed. And that's just an example. WWE called him up not too long ago for an appearance, while he knows Tony Khan doesn't want him around. He screw up TNA, and still has the audacity to talk garbage. One of the Biggest hypocrite in the business.
Plus all the marks that agree when all are WWE fans that follow the WWE product during terrible times. Punk even said to stop watching the fed, but the marks didn't listen.
Eric unfortunately is sour... He cannot stand AEW is still going. Its a personal attack.
Dude hasn’t he been doing podcasts for like 10 years??? The constant clicks and key taps are agonizing to listen to. It’s like a high schooler’s first podcast
Bischoff doesn’t care about wrestling, it just keeps him relevant because he’s sucked at everything else.
If one of his failed studio projects had worked you’d never hear of him.
Eric can't talk he ruined wcw.
AEW is unwatchable man im sorry.
All of you that are over there at AEW are just using Tony for his money. None of you really know about Wrestling..
So true and it shows by whats on the air.
@@jabrockobiden9434 it's been 5 years it's time to close that place down. Cut the lose n move on
Tony is just embarrassing himself n family by keeping that place open
If I was Tony's dad I would take the business away n sale it or merge with someone else
AEW is WcW 2.0 Tony is just Fan boy with Money he doesn't want to listen to anyone that has been in the business for years
@@LadyTreez420 dude wtf are you even talking about, I'm big hater of aew creative but wanting them to shut down and make hundreds unemployed is just hating to hard FFS, no just hire some writers, find somebody to help with booking, take power away from some talent that dont deserve it. This roster is really strong, but until they get a good creative team there going to struggle tony is so bad as a boss that's in charge and as a booker but the guys got the heart and the want, if he could just get out of his own way and bring proper writers in to help, not yes men like a will Washington who's not got a clue about wrestling business, I have watched wrestling alot longer than will by god Washington and I know I couldn't do it but tony wanted somebody grateful for his money that would nod and say thankyou😂😂😂 the creative stinks aew stinks but let's not wish all thees people become unemployed.
@@LadyTreez420 Don't worry, WBD will shut them down soon.
@@judshuttie70 that is too long to read lol 🤣 you remind me of this other dude I see in other comments
I'm call you Extreme the 2nd
2. I am a Woman not a dude my display name says Mz like Mrs.. lol
Have a Great Monday hope your week is great
Eric is getting paid by wwe triple h to bash on AEW. Very petty.
I gta be honest. If we are gonna clash of the two podcasts so to speak. Why do we have Conrad Thompson on both spectrums.
We need Conrad Thompson to stay on one side in debates.
Not be on Eric bischoff podcast then him be on jr being asked about Eric criticism.
It’s hurts the presentation and I ain’t even hating on Conrad Thompson overall.
There just some things that it doesn’t make sense and it hurts the side.
Cuz we the people need to know in clashes whose side are u on?
And I’m certain it’s why a lot of people seem to hate Conrad Thompson.
It sucks for presentation purposes.
Please in future clashes let’s have different podcasts.
I’m certain debaters and lawyers can explain what I’m trying to say here much better than me.
Or just leave the names that Conrad hosts out of the Conrad mouth u should.
Bischoff is a specialist in failure maybe he's right😂
AEW SUCKS! Moxley is one of the most overrated wrestlers in history. Fat zero physique, horrible on the mic and horrible in the rain. He’s the ultimate warrior without the face paint and Body . Those running that company should all be fired and it should be taken off the air. I thought WWE sucks today but boy AEW makes him look like the WWF of the 80s and 90s.
