During a recent edition of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed his recent WWE NXT appearance, the working relationship between Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman in the 1990s, and other topics.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On appearing on NXT: “Yeah, just having a little bit of fun. You know how I like to have fun, just put my toe in the water, have a good time. It’s been a little chaotic over at NXT, so I thought I’d drop in and say hello, and show up in person next week. So yeah, it’s gonna be fun.”
On Paul Heyman’s working relationship with Vince McMahon in the 1990s: “Paul Heyman was funded by Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon owned part of ECW. That’s why they worked together. A lot of people didn’t know that, even — all the time that Paul Heyman was burying WCW and burying WWF, Vince McMahon was funding him. How do you think he ended up owning it when Paul couldn’t keep it afloat? So that’s why. I mean, that’s the answer. I’m not being a smart a*s; that’s the answer because Vince McMahon was funding ECW.”
