Bruce Prichard Comments On Eric Bischoff Being Fired By WWE

As previously reported, Eric Bischoff was released from WWE after a mere few weeks in his new role as Executive Director of SmackDown. He was replaced by Bruce Prichard, who discussed the matter on his podcast, On Something To Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard.

Here is what Prichard said, courtesy of 411Mania.

"I think he’s one of the nicest guys, and he also is a human being. So when you sit there and you make comments through a keyboard, or through your phone. And it’s a faceless, just random thing. Remember that you’re making comments about human beings. And you’re making comments about real people that have families. And real people that yes, we’re in the public eye and I get that. And to a certain point, say and do whatever the hell it is you want to do.”

“Also remember that it’s real life, and that we are human, and that we do have families. And believe it or not, we have feelings. And I know that Eric will succeed. This is like — he ain’t dead! But I just want to publicly wish Eric Bischoff the absolute best in business, life, and everything else, because he’s a good friend and I’m proud and happy to say that he’s my friend."
