Eric Bischoff Talks Comparing AEW To NXT, Says He Hasn’t Had A Conversation With Cody In Two Years
Eric Bischoff hasn’t talked to anyone from AEW yet.
Speaking with Christy Olson for the After 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff talks comparisons between AEW and NXT, particularly the differences between the audience of the two shows. Eric also answers the question of whether or not he’s talked to AEW about working for them.
The following highlights were passed along to Fightful.
Eric Bischoff Compares All Elite Wrestling To NXT:
“The audience, to me, made their show so much better than the NXT show. Not that there’s anything wrong with the NXT show. The action in the ring was great. The characters are great. There are a lot of great things about it. But when you put a live event inside of a small, confined studio kind of like TNA, I don’t care how great the action is in the ring. It just doesn’t have that big event feel to it.”
Eric Bischoff On If He’s Talked To Anyone From All Elite Wrestling:
“I have not spoken with anybody from AEW. Not one conversation. The last conversation I had with anybody that’s currently in AEW was probably Cody Rhodes, and that was about two years ago…It was right after he left WWE and I called him, just to congratulate him and let him know how much I respected his decision.”
