Eric Bischoff Clarifies Stance on AEW: Criticism Stems from Desire for Promotion’s Success

Eric Bischoff, former WCW leader and WWE Hall of Famer, has clarified his stance on AEW wrestling. Despite being a vocal critic of the promotion, Bischoff insists he doesn’t hate AEW and actually wants it to succeed. He explained that his criticism stems from his extensive experience in the industry and his desire to see AEW improve and thrive.

Bischoff acknowledges that his critiques have made him unpopular among AEW fans. He compares this dynamic to the classic wrestling narrative of good guys versus bad guys, with himself cast as the villain for pointing out flaws that passionate fans might overlook. However, he encourages fans to consider his perspective, believing that a deeper understanding of the industry could enhance their enjoyment of AEW’s product.

Despite his criticisms, Bischoff has shown support for AEW. He praised their recent All In event, particularly the latter half of the pay-per-view. This demonstrates that while Bischoff remains critical, he is also capable of recognizing and appreciating AEW’s successes when they occur.
