Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff who was the first ever General Manager of Monday Night RAW recently expressed his excitement of Vince McMahon returning to WWE and explained why he did not think he would not want to join the creative side of WWE.
In July 2022, Vince McMahon announced his retirement from WWE after serving the promotion for over 50 years. It was a shocking decision and it almost came out of nowhere. After his retirement, his son in law Triple H became the Head of Creative and his daughter Stephanie McMahon became the CO CEO of WWE.
Eric Bischoff Thinks Vince McMahon Does Not Want To Be On The Creative Side Upon Return
They took care of the promotion for 6 months and they were doing a fantastic job. WWE was gaining better TV ratings and viewership. Triple H was receiving massive praise from the fans and the critics worldwide for improving the quality of the product. Storylines, matches, feuds, everything was better day by day.
But McMahon shocked everyone when he announced his return to WWE recently in the new year. Most of the fans are really not very happy with this announcement as his latest product was really lacklustre and Triple H was doing a far better job. There were even reports that he came back to the promotion just to make sure a smooth sell process of it.
The rumours buyers have already been a matter of headache for the fans as everybody is speculating the end of WWE is near. That is not all, Stephanie McMahon announce her resignation as soon as her father returned to business. It looks like he is pretty much involved in the creative right now as the product of WWE is getting similar to what he delivered lately.
Eric Bischoff who was the first ever General Manager of Monday Night RAW recently spoke on his 83 Weeks podcast where he expressed his excitement of Vince McMahon returning to WWE and explained why he did not think he would not want to join the creative side of WWE. He said;
“I just can’t imagine that Vince’s primary focus right now is to jump back in the creative saddle. I mean there’s a ton on his plate, of a magnitude that I just don’t think even Vince McMahon, who notoriously works 20 hours a day, I think that would be a little bit much.
“I think Vince is gonna be focused on stability, particularly outward-facing stability, which is why I think he went to great lengths to acknowledge Nick Khan and Stephanie and Paul Levesque in their roles and assure everybody, he did three times in one press release, or maybe in different comments, whatever, there were three different occasions that Vince made a point to say, ‘Hey, Paul and Nick and Stephanie are doing a great job.
“All the confidence in the world in them. Nothing is going to change.’ If that’s true, I think showing up at TV would be, even just from perception-wise, even if he just showed up and hung around backstage, it wouldn’t add to the stability of the situation right now. Couple weeks, maybe, once things settle down. But right now, I can’t see it.”
