Eric Bischoff Reveals Why WWE Fired Him As Executive Director Of SmackDown

In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Eric Bischoff revealed the reason he was removed as the Executive Director of SmackDown. He was only in the position before he was by Bruce Prichard.

Below is what Bischoff said:

"What I underestimated was just how difficult that adaptation would be for anybody that is good at adapting. It takes time. And I didn’t manage that well.

My lack of performance, if you will, in terms of not fulfilling the role in the way that Vince McMahon saw it, that was on me. That wasn’t on WWE. It wasn’t because of any one person or group of people. It was on me and my failure to adapt.

I just didn’t work out. It was a bad fit and more of a chemistry issue, really, than anything else."
