Professional wrestling Legend Eric Bischoff who is a former General Manager of Monday Night RAW recently gave his opinion on the return of Brock Lesnar and he said that the return of the Beast Incarnate was a good decision made by WWE.
The last wrestling match of Brock Lesnar took place at WrestleMania 36 and that was more than a year ago. In that match he defended his WWE Championship against the Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre. The match was said to be a huge momentum for Drew McIntyre but zero attendance due to the covid-19 pandemic situation affected it badly.
Eric Bischoff Thinks Bringing Back Brock Lesnar Is A Good Decision
Since losing WWE World Championship to the Scottish Psychopath the beast incarnate did not appear in WWE. Fans were badly waiting for the return of the former eight times WWE World Champion but that did not happen. This is mostly because of the terrible situation because of the worldwide pandemic.
Since Roman Reigns won the WWE Universal Championship at the WWE pay per view event Payback last year, he did not to drop the title even once. At SummerSlam of this year, he defeated the former 16 times WWE world champion John Cena to retain the Championship.
After the match, Brock Lesnar made a surprise return and confronted the WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns. Surely the duo will have a match soon and the title probably would be on the line too.
Eric Bischoff who is a former General Manager of Monday Night RAW recently during a recent episode of 83 Weeks gave his opinion on the return of Brock Lesnar and he said that the return of the Beast Incarnate was a good decision made by WWE. He said;
“Brock, I don’t feel the same way about Brock. I have nothing but respect for Brock, admiration for Brock. He is one of a kind. There are not enough superlatives, we don’t have enough time to cover all the little superlatives that I can throw Brock’s way.
“But if Brock’s approach to the business doesn’t change, in other words, if he’s that unbeatable mountain, just destruction machine and there’s nobody that’s really competition for him, I’ve been there and done that and seen enough of it.
“Now if he’s coming back and there’s more depth to his character and more range to his stories and he gives a little? Because Brock was a taker, Brock just ate everybody up. Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston in seven seconds? I’m sorry, that’s not interesting.
“That’s just moving the chess pieces around the way you think the chest pieces need to be moved around. That kind of thing doesn’t interest me at all. Give me great competition, give me Brock selling, give me Brock beginning to doubt Brock and having some internal struggles as a character?
“Put Brock Lesnar in a situation where there’s some doubt as to the outcome and the end of a story? I’m all in because Brock is clearly capable of doing anything he chooses to do as a performer.
“If Brock’s approach – because Brock’s approach will be WWE’s approach. He has that much stroke. If the approach to storytelling with Brock and his character is essentially the same as it was before he left, I don’t think it’s a positive thing [for WWE]. I really don’t.”
