WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff made his intentions clear.
On a recent edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff indicated that he had no desire to work full time in the wrestling industry at this point in his life as he has nothing left to accomplish.
When asked about these comments and whether or not he’ll ever appear in the world of wrestling again, Bischoff told Adam Callier of the Daily Star that anyone claiming he will never make another appearance is taking his comments out of context.
“The wrestling media were sloppy as it were. I was asked a question and made a comment and it was taken out of context. The context was ‘Eric, do you think you’ll ever be involved full time in the wrestling business? Do I ever want to run a wrestling company, or own a wrestling company, or work full time for any wrestling company?’ My answer is absolutely not. That’s never going to happen again. That is in my rear view mirror, as I like to say.”
Eric Bischoff Isn’t Opposed To A One-Off Appearance
Continuing, Eric Bischoff made it clear that he’s happy to make an appearance when there’s a good opportunity, but has no plans to return to the world of sports entertainment on a full time basis.
“But that doesn’t mean that I won’t make appearances from time to time. I have been doing these things for the last five years – if there’s an opportunity to do what I refer to as a one off or just simple appearances or something like that, of course, I’ll do that. Full time will never happen again. Somehow that got written into a headline that made it seem like I retired from wrestling forever. You could have said that eight years ago. I guess that’s the wrestling media.”
