On the latest episode of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff, the former WCW President looked back on WCW trying to get Jose Lothario to appear on Nitro in June 1997 to get the rumors flying of Shawn Michaels potentially making his way to WCW. Here is what he had to say:
“That was pure fiction by Meltzer. There was never a discussion, there was never an intent,” stated Bischoff. “Shawn Michaels – if he hears this, and I doubt he will but he might read the recap somewhere, as talented as he was and as much of a star he was, he was a f***ing headcase. He knew it, and he certainly acknowledges it now.
“I had zero interest in Shawn Michaels, or creating the perception and stirring the s**t that would have been stirred in my own locker room and on my own roster by even the suggestion that that was gonna happen.”
