Eric Bischoff Discusses Potentially Working With WWE/AEW Again

Eric Bischoff was asked about the possibility of returning to a backstage role or rejoining WWE in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani. Bischoff expressed that if he were younger, he would unquestionably jump at the opportunity. However, at this stage of his life, he has no desire to work in the demanding environment.

“If I was 20 years younger, I’d [go back] in a heartbeat,” Bischoff said. “If I get a call from my buddy Bruce [Prichard] and he goes, ‘Interested in coming back? I need one of your fingers.’ As long as I’m on my left hand and not right, I’d probably go for it. I loved my time and can’t say enough about the quality of people that work in WWE. But I’m 68 years old, and I live in a beautiful part of Wyoming — right outside Yellowstone National Park. It’s been my dream to live here since I was a little kid, and I worked my ass out throughout my life to have what I have now. At this point, I don’t want to be away for extended periods.”

When it comes to working with AEW, Bischoff revealed that he has no interest in collaborating with Tony Khan, although he praised him as a kind-hearted individual.

“Tony has a very, very generous heart. He’s a good human being. But the truth is, for me to have any sort of positive impact on the process, you have to be in it. You can’t do it remotely. If Tony calls me and offers me a million dollars to work via Zoom, I wouldn’t do it because I know it wouldn’t be fair. It won’t be successful.”
