During a recent edition of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Eric Bischoff addressed Bryan Alvarez’s claim that WWE is paying the former WCW President for his critical remarks regarding AEW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On whether he would consider doing one-off shots with WWE ID promotions: “Definitely. Look, WWE does it right. And if that opportunity were to be presented to me, I’d have to give it serious consideration. Honestly, I don’t want to make it sound like I’m too good for anything, because that’s not the case at all. For me, it’s just very personal in terms of travel. I mean, I say it all the time, and I don’t think people really believe me or understand how committed I am to this, but it’s just so hard for me to travel anymore. My biggest issue is the travel part.
“So I guess it depends on where, when, how often, and that type of thing. But I’m never going to turn down an opportunity to do anything with WWE. They’re a class organization. They treat you right. I almost always have a great time. I always keep an open mind, for sure. And especially something that’s kind of groundbreaking, as is WWE ID. To be on the ground floor would be something I would be interested in for sure.”
On Bryan Alvarez claiming Bischoff is on WWE’s payroll: “That’s so funny. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met Bryan Alvarez, but what a dumb little fu**er. Here’s how stupid he is. I mean, you don’t even have to have much experience or common sense to figure this out, but clearly Bryan Alvarez is short on both. I just did two WWE episodes, one on NXT and one for WWE on the A&E Network. And then 48 hours later or 24 hours later, whatever it was, I’m on an MLW show. Who by the way, was in a lawsuit with WWE. Do you think, you stupid little f**k, that if I was under contract with WWE?
“I don’t even have a Legend’s agreement with WWE. I can’t wait for the back paycheck to show up. I don’t have a written agreement with anybody. I don’t even have a handshake deal with anybody. If they call and I’m available, and it sounds fun, I’ll show up. And that goes to everybody. If TNA or Impact were to call me and say, ‘Hey, we’re doing something. We’d like you to show up.’ If it fit into my schedule and it sounded fun, I’ll do it. So again, this is a perfect example of guys like Brian Alvarez, the needy little fu**ing elf, and his partner Dave Meltzer talking out of their ass when they don’t know what they’re talking about, ever. They just don’t know what they’re talking about.”
