In the latest episode of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Eric Bischoff shared his insights about the novel concept of WWE’s new LFG show.
Here are some notable points from the podcast:
Bischoff touched upon the return of WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event. According to him, if the show can successfully bring back the ’80s and ’90s aura, it will be absolutely fantastic. Such an approach, he believes, would not only be appealing but also disruptive, attracting scores of erstwhile wrestling fans who have lost interest in contemporary offerings. In his view, if the show manages to leverage nostalgia creatively and successfully, it could be a huge hit.
Bischoff also delved into the idea of the WWE LFG show. Despite sounding like an ardent WWE supporter, he insisted that he was just a fan, lauding the innovative initiatives taken by WWE. Bischoff recalled his excitement when he first heard about the LFG show, realizing within just three minutes that the idea was a winner. He thinks the format, coupled with the interactive learning experience and the shared pressures and challenges faced by the participants, make the show truly unique. He shared his awe at the talent displayed by participants who had been training for just four weeks, recounting his shock at watching them compete on the show.
He shared the podcast episode titled “83 Weeks: The Myth of ATM Eric,” where listeners can delve deeper into his thoughts.
