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, โ€œYeah, 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. Itโ€™s been a little chaotic over at NXT, so I thought Iโ€™d drop in and say hello, and show up in person next week. So yeah, itโ€™s gonna be fun.โ€

On Paul Heymanโ€™s working relationship with Vince McMahon in the 1990s:

โ€œPaul Heyman was funded by Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon owned part of ECW. Thatโ€™s why they worked together. A lot of people didnโ€™t 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 couldnโ€™t keep it afloat? So thatโ€™s why. I mean, thatโ€™s the answer. Iโ€™m not being a smart ass; thatโ€™s the answer because Vince McMahon was funding ECW.โ€
