No year in the history of WWE was quite as exciting as 2023, according to WWE Hall of Famer and former RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff.
On a recent edition of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Bischoff reflected on the past 12 months and was impressed by what he’s seen. He said,
“I think this may have been the most exciting year ever of WWE as a whole … [The 80s] was probably one of the most important periods in modern-day professional wrestling since the 60s, just because of the impact that WWE had on the television landscape by evaporating the territories, eliminating all the competition, presenting this product at a national level across cable, breaking into the pay-per-view business.
“When they did all of those things, it made WWE such a juggernaut in the early 80s. But in terms of quality of content, I don’t think you can compare the 12-month period that we’ve just witnessed to any other 12-month period in wrestling history, more or less WWE history. It’s just been phenomenal.”
2023 saw massive changes to WWE, including the promotion being acquired by Endeavor and the return of CM Punk at Survivor Series in November.
