During the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff spoke about the ongoing drama behind the scenes in AEW: namely, the situation between Sammy Guevara and Eddie Kingston.
āThereās a lack of leadership, thereās a lack of direction. And it does feel that way [as it did in WCW], doesnāt it? There was a lack of leadership during that time in late ā98 or ā99, in particular. I have admitted so many times that I was burnt. I was tired of fighting a fight I knew I wasnāt going to win. I disengaged. Forget about the high school drama, he said, she said. Body shaming? This is just getting stupid now. This is like junior high shit. That stuff, I donāt even pay attention to it. When I hear it or see it, I hope this is a work or itās gonna lead to something thatās gonna be really entertaining. Otherwise, itās just really juvenile shit and itās hard for me to pay attention to.ā
On AEW's lack of leadership:
āLetās look at the last six or eight months in AEW and the lack of leadership. Cody Rhodes, pretty integral part of AEW, pretty valuable asset within AEW. For whatever reason, heās no longer there. Havenāt heard a lot of details and I donāt talk to Cody and wouldnāt ask Cody because itās none of my business. But just look at the pattern ā step back and look at fact patterns. Tony Khan and Cody Rhodes, couldnāt see eye to eye, Codyās gone. The MJF situation, which is still inexplicable to me and I still keep hoping that this is all gonna lead to something really fun and interesting. But as every television show goes by without there being any reference or connection to MJF, the more time that goes by, the less effective an MJF storyline is gonna be in my opinion. Not saying it couldnāt be successful, but I havenāt seen anything in AEW creatively that makes me think someone is really thinking ahead strategically and creatively. Cody couldnāt see eye to eye with Tony, MJF couldnāt see eye to eye with management, and now youāve got all this nonsense. For a guy who wasnāt gonna make the same mistakes WCW made, heās compounding them.ā
