WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took on an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including his upcoming appearance on WWE NXT.
Bischoff said, โYeah, just having a little bit of fun. You know how I like to have fun, just put my toe in the water, have a good time. Itโs been a little chaotic over at NXT, so I thought Iโd drop in and say hello, and show up in person next week. So yeah, itโs gonna be fun.โ
On Paul Heymanโs working relationship with Vince McMahon in the 1990s:
โPaul Heyman was funded by Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon owned part of ECW. Thatโs why they worked together. A lot of people didnโt know that, even โ all the time that Paul Heyman was burying WCW and burying WWF, Vince McMahon was funding him. How do you think he ended up owning it when Paul couldnโt keep it afloat? So thatโs why. I mean, thatโs the answer. Iโm not being a smart ass; thatโs the answer because Vince McMahon was funding ECW.โ
