Eric Bischoff Discusses Differences In Today's Wrestling Product
Posted By: Ben Pearce on Feb 16, 2019
On a recent edition of his 83 Weeks Podcast, Eric Bischoff compared the current wrestling landscape to what it was 15 years ago and the continuing changes we see. Check out his take below.
Current Product:
“It is completely different; it is completely scripted and sanitized. On one side of the equation, you have WWE. On the other side you are watching stuff from the independent scene that looks more like America’s Dumbest Home Videos in some cases. Then there’s great stuff in the middle like Cody and the Bucks who are doing All In. Ring of Honor and other independent promotions are doing some really cool stuff as well.”
Wrestling's Evolution:
“The industry has changed and it always will. It will be different 20 years from now than it is today. You either adapt or you cry about it. Change your expectations, embrace the new way the product is being presented or you sit back and you get bitter and you talk about the good old days. It’s the nature of the business. The same is probably true with really hardcore football fans. Sh*t changes, you got to change with it.”
How Veterans Feel About Changes In The Industry:
“I’ve heard the same thing from Dusty Rhodes to Ole Anderson to Greg Gagne. Everyone I talked to that was a generation older than the current generation of wrestling lament the fact that the industry has changed; it is not what it used to be, the young guys are killing the business. I have been hearing the same conversation since 1987 from different people. I listen to it from Nick Bockwinkel, from Wahoo McDaniel and Ray Stevens. It is true. I think the business today doesn’t reflect at all what the business was 15 years ago.”
