Eric Bischoff Discusses His Future In MLW Following One-Shot Show

WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff spoke with Ryan Gaydos of FOX News on a number of topics, including being named the executive producer of MLW’s One-Shot show and how he told Court Bauer from the get-go that it has nothing to do with money.

Bischoff said, โ€œOne of the things I told (MLW founder Court Bauer) right away was this isnโ€™t about the money. He started to negotiate my fee and I really wasnโ€™t interested in negotiating it. I just said whatever it is, Iโ€™m going to donate it to Tunnel to Towers. So, it doesnโ€™t matter, and I donโ€™t want to negotiate it. I just want whatever it is to be donated because Iโ€™m not doing this for the money. Iโ€™m doing it for the fun.โ€

On his future in MLW following the one-shot show next month:

โ€œI donโ€™t even think about that. One of the things I told Court is that for me to do something in wrestling now, it has to be fun. If itโ€™s not fun for me, if itโ€™s just a job, or if itโ€™s just a payday, Iโ€™m really not that interested. โ€ฆ When it comes to putting my toe back in the water in wrestling, my first priority is that it has to be fun. If itโ€™s not fun, Iโ€™m not interested. So it all depends. I honestly, to be very transparent about it, I canโ€™t see it. I like my life just the way it is. I live in a beautiful part of the country out in the middle of nowhere where I can look out my back window and see Yellowstone National Park. So, for me to commit โ€“ just committing to professional wrestling is 24 hours, seven days a week. If youโ€™re not doing it, youโ€™re thinking about it. If youโ€™re not thinking about it, youโ€™re worrying about it. If youโ€™re not worrying about it, youโ€™re sleeping. Itโ€™s hard for me to imagine. But again, it depends how much fun I have. If itโ€™s successful and everybody, not just me, but if the audience enjoys, if Court and his team โ€“ most importantly- enjoy the process, then, you know, anythingโ€™s possible. But highly unlikely. Letโ€™s put it that way.โ€
