Eric Bischoff and Dave Meltzer Spar in Heated Twitter Exchange Involving AEW

As previously reported, AEW President Tony Khan commented on Jinder Mahal receiving a world title match on WWE RAW, noting Mahal's lack of televised wins in the past year. In a Twitter exchange, former WCW President Eric Bischoff questioned whether AEW had done something similar with Abadon. Khan responded:

“No @EBischoff, not true at all. Abadon returned to AEW + then they won a 4 way match on TNT against other great wrestlers to earn a title shot, which is completely different than someone going a full year losing every match they’re in + getting a title shot without a single win.”

“Reading would be your friend, Eric.” Bischoff retorted:

“Oh kid, my reading comprehension skills are wizard like. By the way, that was one of Dave Meltzer [wrestling reporter] wicked comebacks whenever he’d get called out on his bs. Coincidence or are you really that deep?”

Dave Meltzer then joined the conversation, stating:

“Dude, sorry I prepped you for that Landsberg interview where you made the claim about how you averaged 5400 tickets sold the prior year and bragged about it. The guy didn’t have Hogan, Flair, Savage or Piper and has double the ticket prices and equalled your number. One of us actually studies numbers, the other calls names because he can’t remember nor has any research capabilities.”

Reading would be your friend, Eric.
