During the latest edition of his Strictly Business podcast for AdFreeShows, Eric Bischoff was asked about the implications of WWE potentially moving their programming content from TV-PG to TV-14 in the near future.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Bischoff on the implications if WWE switches to TV-14: “Some of [the implications] may be real and tangible and others subtle and possibly not so significant. I think it’s going to create a lot of anticipation, right? I think there’s going to be a lot of people who maybe have tuned out over the years because the product has gotten soft since 2008, meaning it needs to be palatable for children to keep the advertisers and the network happy.”
Eric Bischoff on Raw’s current backstage segments: “You bore the sh*t out of me with your backstage promos and your stand-up mic segments. There’s just nothing happening in those segments. There’s no narrative most of the time in those segments that do anything other than disengage me. That’s true in WWE, it’s true in AEW … Some of the people that are doing stand-up promos shouldn’t be doing them … I would use that. I’d make my non-wrestling segments — I’d find ways to make them more interesting.”
