Eric Bischoff – ‘Tony Khan Should Work Hard To Keep MJF In AEW’

Eric Bischoff may criticize Tony Khan’s AEW on a regular basis, but that doesn’t change the fact that the former WCW booker is a big fan of MJF.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Bischoff stated that Khan should dedicate himself to retaining MJF lest he wishes to lose The Salt Of The Earth to WWE at next year’s bidding war. Bischoff said,

“I can’t say enough great things about MJF. I don’t know what his goals are, but if I’m Tony Khan, I’m gonna work pretty hard to keep MJF on my roster. If you look at that roster, there are not a lot of talents anywhere close to MJF — in terms of overall ability and connection to [fans]. There are a lot of great wrestlers and athletes, but Chris Jericho is on the downside of his career, and Bryan Danielson is kind of a part-timer.”

“If you look at the younger crop of regularly-featured talent, at least three-quarters of them could walk through any mall in America, and nobody would know who they are. MJF stands out. He’s got himself over.”
