WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff discussed various topics, including the possibility of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon returning to the public eye, on an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast.
Bischoff said, “Everybody is kind of like assuming Vince wants to get back in the spotlight. I’m not sold on that. I highly doubt that we’re going to see a high-profile Vince McMahon. We’ll see him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes some smaller appearances in WWE, Hall of Fame-type of appearances, but he’s not going to be on regular programming. I don’t see a storyline with him. I don’t see him being a face of the company in any way, shape or form. The baggage that he has with him, regardless of how these things settle out, outweighs the benefit.”
On McMahon rejoining the TKO board:
“I don’t know the rest of the board, right? I don’t know Ari Emanuel. I don’t know any of them. It’s hard to really say. From my perspective, I don’t see that either. I see that being even more remote. What added value does Vince McMahon bring to the board? He doesn’t. He brings baggage. He’s not Harvey Weinstein, he’s not quite there. He’s not Bill Cosby, but he’s in the same neighborhood. It’s the same zip code.”
