During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray commented on Eric Bischoff’s hot takes.
While Ray admitted that the two men agree on a lot, one thing they do disagree on is ECW’s influence on the professional wrestling business. He said,
“He brought up how he revolutionized cruiserweight wrestling by creating the cruiserweight division. I’m like, ‘Eric, you stole Mysterio, Psychosis, and … Juvi and Eddie and Dean.’ I’m like, ‘You stole them from ECW.’ They created a buzz in ECW, and then you were able to offer them money that we couldn’t. He’s like, ‘I created a whole freaking division, screw you!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, you created a division. We didn’t have to create a division.’ They were just wrestlers who wrestled in our company.”
Ray went on to call Bischoff “intelligent” and praised him for almost putting WWE out of business. He said,
“I don’t care how, I don’t care why, he almost did it. Nobody else in the wrestling world almost put Vince McMahon and the WWE out of business. So he must have been doing something right. Right place, right time, right talent, right stories, right characters, right check book. Doesn’t matter.“
