Eric Bischoff Reacts To Honky Tonk Man's Hall Of Fame Induction

Eric Bischoff Reacts To Honky Tonk Man's Hall Of Fame Induction

Eric Bischoff gave Honky Tonk Man credit for his upcoming Hall of Fame induction despite admitting his dislike of the man behind the character. He also touched on other topics including Arn Anderson getting the axe from WWE. Check out highlights below.

Infamous NWo/Four Horsemen parody:

ā€œI regret doing the segment. To try to break it down like, ā€˜that verbiage would have been okay but that verbiage would have been too muchā€™, you know, by the time youā€™re done deconstructing a scene like that, you might as well start over with a whole new idea. So I donā€™t think itā€™s a matter of ā€˜I just would have not said thisā€™ or change a phrase or wording combination. I think it would have been better just to stay away from the whole forced retirement/injury/old man/end of your roadā€¦itā€™s not the kind of heat that really works.ā€

Arn Andersonā€™s WWE Release:

Ā ā€œItā€™s so hard to say. It has to be in the sense that Arn Anderson has probably been working full time either as a wrestler and sometimes at the very highest levelā€¦working with some very experienced bookers over the last couple of decades, been through all of it. Seen it all, done it all. And then to transition into being an agent or producer or whatever they call them in WWE, thereā€™s a lot of knowledge there. A lot of experience. You canā€™t just replace that. You canā€™t find that kind of experience out there in the marketplace.ā€

Honky Tonk Man:

ā€œI want to say some smartass thing and keep it all going but I canā€™t. When it comes to this kind of thing, Iā€™m happy for him. Iā€™m not friends with Honky but despite what you hear and what you see, and how much fun I have bustinā€™ his chops, and probably how much fun heā€™s had and I know heā€™s had in the last twenty years bustinā€™ mineā€¦at the end of the day Iā€™m happy when a guy who has really all of his adult life was in this business. Thatā€™s been the largest part of his adult life and thatā€™s been obviously his identity. He still wears the gimmick and shows up at a lot of these events. To have a moment like this and get that acknowledgement from your peers that you were important to the industry, itā€™s gotta make any human being feel good. Heā€™s still a jackass, but Iā€™m glad heā€™s gonna be a happy jackass.ā€
